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?

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
