i know SFA when it comes to the suspension and handling side of things, so as most of use probably know the turning circle in a 33 is shyte i cant even do a u-turn in some tight streets, what aftermarket mods will help this? can i adjust anything?

rough prices on parts would be nice, and also will a hicas lock bar make it much worse then it alredy is?

how often do you need to do a tight turn anyways? will the cost in mods and labour justify it all? Im no expert but i think trying to increase your turning circle will probably adversly affect your handling which you use more of..I may be wrong. I have no problems with my 33. If I need to do a tight turn I come to a complete stop then full lock. Sometimes I surprise myself that I actually make it in one go when I do a U-turn in small steets.

Just my 2 cents.

I'm not much real help, but I've seen it done for drift cars... so it can be done. However, it wasn't for a skyline. Speak to a suspension shop that sets up drift cars, if anyone's going to know anything about it, it'd be them. I'd start there.

Simple.

Step 1: turn steering wheel full lock.

Step 2: raise RPM sufficiently.

Step 3: drop clutch.

Step 4: smile as your turning circle is reduced to almost nothing!

:D

Even more effective with a decent LSD :)

Lock spacers can help with this. Will only cost $20 plus a wheel alignment once you have installed them.

Heaps of placers sell them but I just grabbed some URAS ones off Trent - http://www.statustuning.com/?section=contact

As for your other question a hicas lock bar will not change anything with your turning circle.

Adjust both your rear wheels with lock to the left as much as you can :( ....This will reduce turning circle to the right but increase it to the left. It will be awesome for U-turns though which solves your dilema!!..(If you're in the US though make sure you adjust your rears with lock to the right though...)

I really am a solutions man.... :)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
