remember those cars games at bowling places and what not, where the steering felt loose and then you would feel it kick back in and out ( dont know if your getting me here)

basically doing say over 70-80km going over any bumps the car feels like it steers from the back tonight it was terrible it felt like i was going to loose control of the car i was doing 100km i did have a semi flat front tyre which helped a bit but the other tyres are fine and its still there

is this just noraml or what as it was nice for a while going hill driving but stright line stuff it feels loose

any help would be good

Does this lock out bar make you more drift prone. I like the idea that the car steers through the hills and what not

In the R32 GTST i had = Yep. Seemed to step out alot easier.

Gtr - nope (4 wheel drive obviously) I noticed the steering was a lot lighter, and it did steer obviously a lot different around corners and at speeds with lockbar - i prefer it with the lockbar but i guess everyone has their own opinion!

The back end of the GTR was floating on certain corners, speeds and just felt sh*t, lockbar in fixed it and feels nice and solid and predictable.

You loose about 20kg of crap as well when u do it, well worth it in my opinion!

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
