Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

dont go too cheap, Stick with Nankang, Wanli, Hiro, etc.

Surely you jest :P

Wanli and Hiro are some of the shittest out there. A good tyre I've found that grips surprisingly well for its price is the Firestone 'Wide Oval'. Nice grippy compound, yet still seem to wear quite well.

i havent had much trouble with my Wanli's, they just are a harder compound therefore last longer, but im saying if u go cheap, Wanlis and Hero (which Madaz is running) are probably the lowest you should go. Hero's are made by Federal, so they cant be that bad.

Lowest you should ge being the lowest of the lot? :P

I've had various types of Wanlis, and they're all crap. The good thing is (like you said) they last ages. I had a pair of rears on the 100 last for 3 drift days and about 5000 road kays. They had absolutely no grip, but you can't argue with that tyre life :(

Maxxis tend to be a lot better tyre for a marginal price increase over Wanlis, and for a little bit more, the Wide Ovals are better again. I'd never run Wanlis or any of the cheap lesser brand tyres on the front, thats asking for trouble. Rears are a moot point in my case, but you gotta run with good fronts.

lol Damo............no accounting for taste bud.........Demi Moore @ 50 leaves her for dead

Lady Gaga is a lady hoho

:(

Wearing just underwear detracts eyes from her ugly looks. I think she needs to lose about 5kg too and tone up that lardy body. How come you find that attractive Damo? Your woman is 100x better looking dude. :P

^ so you know what we have to put with then?

Boof: It's not always about traction though. Steering and braking aren't much fun when you haven't got any grip.

And +1 Kralster, well said.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By Duncan · Posted

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      By Duncan · Posted

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      By SeanR32GtSt · Posted

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
