your tyres will run out before the calipers do

ie upgrading to 6 pot on the front is great, but if your running normal tyres, you probably dont gain much except resistance to heat in the calipers as they are bigger

youd probably get more stopping power with better tyres

but people upgrade to bigger calipers for braging rights

plus it looks good

and i agree, it does look good

I've had both too. The only time they've been half decent has been for my 'at fault'- which theyve tarred me with because of the pothole drama. I'm at fault for a hole in the road... Ok...

I pay 3k p/yr comprehensive, I'm 22, and my excess is 2-2.5 k...

But most of all when I've had to deal with them they've treated me like crap.

yeh thats wierd i've had them since i was 18, always having modified/nice cars nobody else will insure me for less than my first born and yeh never had a problem.

sucks about the pothole

Congrats man! Shame you can't have a decent cruise coz of the weather. Sunday is looking alright though :thumbsup:

agree with hamish

for your first car get a junker as i said before and drive it till the doors fall off

get out of this mindset of having the BESTEST car ever for your first P's car

when your off your p's thne knock yourself out and get an evo or GTR or twin supra etc

insurance is cheaper, you are wiser, can drive better and arent in hero mode being 18 in a high powered car

R31 FTMFW. Or Cressida. Same same. both RWD, both cheap, both legal.

I'd pick cressy over 31, simply cos it looks newer and is more luxurious. hell if you're not gonna be goin fast you might as well be comfortable.

Or maybe an LS400.

Yeahhhh... def LS400 over R31. Fuck goin fast, leave that to skittle coloured car drivers. Stylin gets you laid.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
