hey again,

where do you race?

could be a number of things wrong with your car - and at that speed perhaps you are lucky you havent crashed dude

perhaps i am...but i didnt come for a lecture...and we just f**k around from drysdale to geelong, just on a highway, if there no cars anyways...but yeah, just was wondering if it might be common thing with the 33's or not

no - im not going to give a lecture dude - no amount of lectures/advice will change a person's mind about something if they choose not to listen.

When I took my car to sandown - it was fine on the straights and corners - and mine is pretty much stock. perhaps get your car checked out by a mechanic. perhaps the other guys on here may know more....

+1 for balancing .....

a large jolt combine with high speeds or touching a curb... something could have knocked out the weights on your wheels... its not expensive...Just take it to one of the common Tyre/brake places....

Bob Jane

Tyre Factory

Etc....

school holidays are fun to try to kill yourself ;) you and your mate should see if you can hold hands out the windows of your cars while you fly down the highway with no one around...

And I don't care if you didn't come on for a lecture! you can't unread what I wrote!! :blink:

9 times out of 10 it's a wheel balance issue. cheap as chips to get fixed. also check your tyre pressures

If you're running a super soft tyre (eg. r-rated semi slick) these can 'square' off if the cars left sitting for a couple of weeks without use. happens to mine but fixes itself with a run up and down the freeway.

and we wonder why people with imports get hasselled by the cops when their "not doing anything"...

You post something like that and say that you don't want a lecture? Well we don't want a speed hero. If not for your mother/father who aren't expecting a visit from the police with their hats in their arms, then have some consideration for the trauma cleanup crew who might one day have to scrape your carcasses off the road so the rest of us don't have to see your seemingly non-existent brains 50 metres away from the head they're supposed to be in.

Given that behaviour and your inability to diagnose something like a wheel balance problem, you're something of a ticking time bomb in that car.

Why are the rest of you helping him out? This wheel shaking is the only thing stopping him from going faster.

well.... i did suggest he also hang outside his car at that speed...

the only reason I helped was that if the car is shaking violently at those speeds he could lose control and hit a tree, so best to help him, but I spose your right, once that is fixed he will just go faster....

I think the fix to your problem has already been mentioned, but another suggestion is that you put your name on the organ donor registry that way something good will come from your death, spare parts from you and your car.

...is this something to do with the hicas?
No, more to do with the nut holding the wheel! Oh, forgot, you let go of the wheel, didn't you? bozo!

get the bloody car checked out for out of balance wheels & worn suspension components. And just stay away from the Werribee area!

alright, this is f**ked up...wat ive said ive worded wrong...i dont drag on the street, but i have once on that highway...i only cruise, i dont speed in it, i never to burnouts or anything like that, my cars basicly stock other then exhuast and bov, i treat my my car well and i also hate getting picked on by cops for other people hooning, im not a hoon.

choose to beilive me or not, dosent realy bother me...but yeah, just letting you know im not out there beeing a dick.

End of the day: You want to speed and be an idiot, maybe kill yourself - That's fine - 1 less idiot on the roads.... however think about what would happen if you run into someone else - he, she, they (could be a family) - would be killed from your (and your mate's)stupidity.

The excuse of having "nobody" around is when accidents DO HAPPEN... IF you do come out of the accident alive I really hope this thread will haunt you forever.

Save it for the track.

I bet after you have read what I just typed you will be fuming, possibly try to "back peddal"/justify your actions....

No one here will tolerate such stupidity on the roads.

iseekool, i just said i dont hoon around...

and priestley, how does me saying i race my mate mean street racing?

anyway, ive found this site not to helpfule towards me and the one time i do get some more then 1 opinion they pick the bad part out and yell...haha, catchyas later

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
