I have not got a reply in general maintenance section so i thought im posting in the wrong area maybe someone here can shed some light on this.

I HAVE VERY SHIT tyres worth 120 each, And japanese version of Ohlin suspension VERY HARD non adjustable rears. Only on some surfaces but most of the times when i boot it then flick it into 2nd gear The tyres screetch and i hear and feel do dodododod , the sound of the back tyres hopping as they are trying to grip the ground. What do you think it is could it be that the suspension is too stiff for the street or the tyres are too hard not sticky enough??? i have had the car on hoists and nothing looks damaged or what ever.

it can be mismatched spring/shock combo but as you have coilovers designed as a unit I don't think its an issue, unless a shock has given up the ghost

spring stiffness not the problem either, I have the worlds hardest teins in mine and it doesn't axle tramp... I would suggest you have worn bushes somewhere... there was a really good thread with a guy chasing the same problem in his 34GTT, have a search for it well worth the read

My tyres cost $275 ea, with dicount! and i still get axle tramp and its a NA RB25 bored out to 2.7 (with genuine old bushes in the rear) +1 for bushes. I would get the bushes checked first and changed to superpro's, most shops do inspections cheap as chips and you also will find out if anything else is not good under there, i doubt the suspention is helping the bushes in there.

lol i needed pinkslip asap so i just had to get tyres ASAP so i thought f*k it it was NOT 330awkw at that stage it was stock standard. these tyres are lasting forever im waiting till they wearr lol.

How can you tell if the bushes are worn without replacing them should the wheel move up and down if its on lift. what if the wheels are solid no movement up and down could it still mean the bushes are worn?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
