4DoorGTR <----do you really have a 4 door GTR ???? nice !

 

 

That's the old Arndale right ??? Near the corner of Forest Way and Warringah Rd...

The last time we met there we parked in the supermarket carpark behind the servo/maccas etc.

Its very very close to the intersection of forest rd and warringah rd. Take the first left (where the servo is) and again take the first left to arrive in the carpark.

I dont think there will be enough room near maccas or the servo.

b-man, I'll have 4 shithouse rims and 2 decent ones (Already have the decent ones) in about 4-6weeks, you can buy 2 of the shit ones for $35 each. Standard R33 GTS-t 16's though.

OK, make that 5 for the NB meetup

Are you going through Ryde? Apparently we are sleeping friday night at the apartment so wont be on the Northern beaches.

What if I park on the side of the rd near the Maccas on monavale rd (ryde). Will you be passing there on the way?

Dan, I got 8 x 17" tyres to wear our - so I'm looking for 2 x 17" wheels - I think I might go down to Bob Jane and see if I can buy two cheapy 17" x 8

Mark - The only way I know how to get to OP is via Ryde - so if OK with the others, we might go that way.

Yeah Guys ive got about five other cars coming with me and we need to pick someone up in the city, do we go anywhere near there? or do you go through ryde and then out that way not near the bridge? if its not the way where going ill just get my friend to meet me at dee why.

Let me know which way you'll be going. I'm flexable. Mal suggests going via the City, so if we end up going that way i'll meet you guys at the shopping centre.

Fatz - I just heard that there 'may' be a delay with me getting my car in time for tomorrow - So this is just a heads up that my spot might free up -

I'll post back here and call you on the mobile when I find out the status - for sure.

Bugger.......:P

Not looking good for me fellas......

Fatz, I don't think the Auto, Single Spinner, heavy, 4 door, underpowered Gloria would be much good at drifting, especially in the dry - I tried drifting it once (on the private track near my house *cough*) but she is just not built for it I think.

The Corolla would have a better chance but. :)

Well, I got my car back at 5:15pm (big effort from my mech on that one) so I'm a bit happier now.. I didn't get time to organise new tyres so I think I'll be driving home on canvas! eek. anyway fingers crossed :)

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
