The fact he had an airbag wheel as standard and he removed it is reason enough

bingo.

however, im tempted to the same, just so i can solid mount mt seat to the floor and drop myself 2 or 3 inches, and having a removable wheel is really the only way to do that and still be able to get in and out.

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

writeoff can attest that when i was going to moonta last year, we'd hit a dip and my entire exhaust would bottom out on the tarmac and shoot a tonne of sparks, so much so that it ripped apart one of the welds on my muffler

True but the exhaust system wasn't fitted correctly back then and your car was fully loaded with food, drinks, fishing equipment and ~260kgs of man-flesh.

Speed humps just need to be taken slowly and at an angle. Same with driveways.

Personally I think your Bilsteins are fine and you could save your $ but I haven't driven the car in a long time and never did as a daily.

Non Airbag wheel. Nardi wheel. He said if i had a momo or Isotta i would be fine, even tho they have no air bag :ermm:

Dion, will u be down towards the city any day soon? would be great if i could borrow the light.

Should only take a couple of nights after work to finish it all.

Thanks.

i suspect in the 2 years that theyve worn - the exhaust was fitted properly - this was back when I still had the 3.5" kakimoto that was on it when i bought it off you. because of that, i switched to a twin pipe junbl sidebyside cannon setup, which wasnt fitting correctly on the trip to another place, but I dont think you were there for that - inspite of the junbl's not being mounted correctly, they still scraped less than that kakimoto (the muffler was massive)... and even tho theyre now mounted correctly, I still get scrapage around the side street speed humps... thats even slowing down to 10kph...

ill see what waynes teins are like and if I have to, start saving up for nismos that scandy suggested ... however I suspect because the suspension is nismo, it'll cost me 2 kidneys to afford..

Shit. I have a nardi too. But then again R32 GTRs never had air bags... maybe that means I'd get away with it

Nope, don't think Nardi's have ADR approval

bingo. even if your car didnt have an airbag wheel as standard, the only aftermarkets wheels you can legally fit are from momo and isotta because theyre the only brands that have got adr approval.

My R32 has stuff about SRS Airbag written all over the sunvisor, I'm waiting for the day a cop gives me a hard time about removing an airbag wheel.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
