well its a long story how i did this but i need to know the name of one of the pieces in my rear end (as i have bent it and need the know the name so i know what to ask for) its one of the main linkages that holds the bottom of the strut together, its on the very bottem of the assembley and bolts on in three places one bolts onto the suspention just inderneath where cv joint for the hicas connects to the wheel and the other 2 bolt the the shassy. also i think its a sway bar that is bolted to it, its very thick mettal thats in a kind of a y shape. being bent it has made the bottem of the wheel camber in allot.

thanks for your help.

Its ok, i have worked it out. Its kind of embarrising im an ex-3rd mechenic and i must have done atleast 20 in my time, on other cars.

Please excuse the starting post to this topic i just quikly wrote it before i went to be.

I picked up the new arm yesterday for $100. Should get it in today but the 22mm nut that joins to the hub is very f-tight (bent one of my spanners in it) i have taken the split pin out, is there a nack to getting it off or do i just have to take the axil out and hit it with a braker bar?

Also haveing a little troubble working out how to get the bolt out (the one closer to the front of the car) as i cant get enough space to get a hammer and a screw driver in.

I have wrecked the rim that was on there, i have a spair one but it has a crack straght through one of the spokes. Tossing up wether i could get away with running it like that or any rough guess' on how much it would cost to repair it?

sure ill work it out, cheers

its all good, finaly got it all back together today, after a huge headake and a bunch of swear words.

I s**t myself when i took it for a drive and the rear end was sliding all over the place and felt like the whole suspention was floating and shifting around. ternd out the steering rod on the hicas was bent so the rear wheels were trying to go in difforent directions. so i took it off and gave it some hard bending. still needs a wheel alainment but its drivable.

you can new close this if you like gene.

cheers guys,

panda.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
