This is regarding an R33 GTST.

I have a client if you will, who has the above mentioned car. The owner purchased a set of coilovers from me on Tuesday afternoon. Fitting the coilovers was to be completed tonight by the owner (Ryan "SKYRYAN") and his offsider (Karl "inthisglass").

So i was at a pub having a few drinks when my phone rang. It was said offsider, who i will not name *cough* (Karl), who rang me with a dilemma they were having with the vehicle. I was told that the car was on axle stand but they were stuggling as there was a problem with the steering.

The conversation went similar to this........

OFFSIDER: "Brad should the steering be really tight when the car is jacked up?"

ME: "not really...how tight is it"

OFFSIDER: "It wont turn easy"

ME: "No, it should be fairly free, have you got the steering lock off?"

OFFSIDER: *yells* Ryan, wheres your car keys"

Small voice in the background: "over there"

Phone conversation goes silent......awkward pause.

ME: "good night, have fun!"

Laughter all round!

Maybe best to look for the simple solutions first before you rely on the help of an expert who will post your stupidity up on a public forum!

Ryan and Karl, you are idiots! :D :D :P :P :P :P

Im sure Ryan and Karl would love to hear your thoughts of this situation in this thread :P

BARD, YOU must have had a few more drinks than your thought.

i asked you if the the wheels were meant to be hard to rotate NOT TURN

we had the rear jacked up and when we were putting the wheels back on the diff felt like it was getting tighter the more we spun the wheels forward

rysies is worried that his diff is farked and said to call you for your words of wisdom

in the end we got the coilovers in, with no other problems and skyryan is now slammed on its hole :D

Possibilities:

Handbrake on?..

He has a fan-dangle'd LSD which could do it...

Calipers tight on the Rotors...

It was in gear, you were cranking the engine...

Calling a suspension expert about diffs? LOL brad aint god =P

But I'm sure he has spun a few rear wheels while the cars are jacked up, yeah?

Don't make me come lack-band your arse, Terry.

Unlikely, he is in sales...

+1

All brake pads will be pressing against the rotor's by default, some more then others.

I don't suppose you noticed if both wheels were spinning?

If they both were spinning, was it in the same direction, or different directions?

If only one was spinning, i'd be more worried about that.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
