GTRsean Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Was the spigot bearing an original Nissan part? Why did it fail, just through wear and tear? No Matt, it was a needle roller bearing one, lasted all of 20 mins due to input shaft nicking it when we went to fit gbox. After that, I'm only ever fitting stock bronze one's Thanks Charlie, it feels good. Next will be a set of bilstein coilovers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/323011-99-r34gtr-vspec-now-stroked/page/10/#findComment-6301881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwanta34gtr Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks Brad! Yours will be a monster!! Still have not done clutch...had to keep it on the road due to things popping up and arriving short notice . Was worth it though! The clutch is a Nismo gmax twin plate (Brett) , that I got second hand, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new clutch discs. I'm currently half way through getting brembo bits to take the brakes back to something more streetable... New scuff plates.. Nice scuff plates mate. Want to sell me the stock ones, if they are in good nick? PM me.

GTRsean Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Is going okay Matt, but I always want more.... Have got a couple of things for it recently: Some tein bonnet struts. Also got some bilstein PSS9 coilovers. Only issue is that one of the front coilovers didn't have the fitting kit (nut, spacer, rubber and adjuster knob) with it so I can't use them yet Will have to get that sorted asap.

GTRsean Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Over 2k.... no adjustment spanners, and missing a fitting kit. Fitted some new tein super streets to Karcher's 450sx. Went in no worries and handles way better and feels great on the road.
