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

Thanks for the offer but its all done. I only have an arc welder but its fine for little jobs like this. The weld appears to be plenty strong.

Oh hey you just reminded me of a stupid joke...

Q: What do u call a bloke who cant use a welder?

A: An Oxymoron.

Wanna know if an R32 GTR catback exhaust will fit on an r32 gtst/gts4???

im looking at buying a HKS hipower catback but its for a R32 GTR..i asked the seller if it will fit and he thinks it wont because the part number for the gtst/gts4 is diff to the gtr one however i was always led to belive that GTR catbacks fit on gtst/gts4's ????

Yo

I did something similar except I bought a zorst from an rb30dett and had Mark from Exhaust Tech fit it for me.

Give them a call dude, they are very good on rates and do top quality work

Me:good evening sir

C:get your licence out (jsut from tha ti knew i was getting bent over no matter what)

Me: no problem, 1 second

C: open your bonnet while youre at it and get out of the car (please would have been nice)

Me: yeh sure, one moment

Me: i jsut bought the car it needed a bit of work, i still got parts on order

C: *points to bov* thats illegal, im gonna get the paperwork out (no emotion)

Me: yeah i know, ive been looking for a factory recirculation valve, no one has them in stock

C: yeah sure...

His friend: put him down for exhaust as well (without even looking at it or checking it)

So what a f**king awesome night, I wasn't doing anything wrong, from a group of about 6 cars driving i was the only one to be pulled in. I was being as nice as i could trying to explain that I really am getting rid of half the crap that was on the car but no, i even showed him the papers from purchase... he didn't show a bit of human at all, didn't care at all. and his f**khead friend too, didn't even check how loud the exhaust was... at 3,000 rpm you can barely hear it over the engine...

Bent over by the law and Regencied.

so what am i to do now, first time i have ever been defected (pretty damn lucky up until now too)??

Its put down for regency:

1: bov fitted - to be removed

2: check DB noise to comply ADR

I'm guessing i should also make sure there are no leaks, wheel bearings good, cv joints good, suspension good and all lights and instruments?

Soz for essay.. hehe didn't wanna start another thread :(

Some thoughts;

Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they’re out to get you, it means you think you matter.

One thing you can say for enemies, they make life more interesting.

Life’s so much easier when you’ve got someone to blame.

return the major things back to stock

remember we have the tappleys hill road incident to thank for any extra heat we get, so no being silly on the roads guys (no saying you we being silly Marko)

anytime i see a BOV under someones bonnet i tell them to get rid of it return it back to factory because that's the first thing police look for, if they see a non factory BOV its all over.

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
