So while my car is in the workshop for a few weeks getting some shit done, i'm off to china for the Olympics and a holiday.

I managed to find some interesting stuff available near where I am staying, and in the provinces that I will be touring.

Anybody what an exhaust tip with lights in it??? Suit black hondas with green neons...

How about carbon exhausts? Not sure the advantage over a normal exhaust, but i can get up to 4' tips.

Worried about the cops? Well if you can't beat them, join them. stick some of these on your Skyline.

China made T3/4 turbos. Not one for the brand monkeys...

but those parts are aussie afterall.... most of the steel the chinese use is made from iron ore, or steel blanks from australia.

They just seem to mix a whole heap of shit into it to make the steel go further which then makes it shit quality...

so chinese products made of "metal" is really Aussie

Have some fun while your there, just you and the wife or taking the kid/s too?

Brad, i'm taking the whole family.

i'm pumped just watching the Olyroos on TV now. Keep an eye out for me in the crowd at the Gold & Bronze medal games of the womens hockey and water polo.

Good timing with my car going into the workshop tomorrow... Is it common for R32's to get rust in the rear arch wells?

i thought its common for all jap imports to eventually get some sort of rust under the arches if they steel.... dont forget that it does snow in japan and when it snows salt is put on the road to give the road more grip.... or it melts the ice????? i dunno but either way there is allot of salt on jap roads in winter so this would eventually eat away some of the exposed metal

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
