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

The speedo cable is way to long.. I unclipped the speedo cable up front and have it looping down slightly.

Hard to explain, get under the car have a look where the speedo cable comes out from the firewall and see the brackets that its attached to. Remove the attachment so it loops more so then it will be the correct length.

suck it up, you've just done a whole comversion so be patient with it. Not everything goes perfect first time. Your few little issues have been very minor. I bet it's the thrust bearing that i told you to replace hehe.

It'll all work out in the end.

Good to hear about the cops!!

Did you replace the spigot or more importantly make sure the motor had a spigot?

Mate of mine did similar.. Assumed there was a spigot. Ended up stuffing the input shaft bearing. :S

haha cubes its funny you say that, ive run into that problem a couple of times in the past etc and now i check religiously...yea the motor had a spigot and it was healthy. It it most likely the thrust bearing that i recommended to change but never got done. These things happen.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean I agree. I've seemingly never had issues and I have RS4's in the rain, but I drive pretty slow in the rain, and I commute around on the street and pretty much never push it. But it's not like you're going to uncontrollably slide off the street with them in the rain. At least here in Aus. And I say this before I drive to Tassie in Winter. AS above, the term "Semi" is a bit of a misnomer. The ContiSportContact7 is also a "Semi" or a "UHP" tyre. It's the same category as an AD09 in any case.

      These are not semis. None of the tyres in that comparo are semis. They are UHP tyres. Perfectly streetable. I'm on my second set of AD09, after using a couple of sets of AD08R. On the street. Every day. I get 15-20 thousand km out of them, which is perfectly acceptable. They are a really nice tyre to drive on. I have few, if any, complaints.

      You'd hope, if it came from ACS, that it wouldn't be that.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
