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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
