haha.. sounds like a great tyre to put on the r31 :D the retreads are starting to go.. although for retreads they have copped a fair bit of abuse.

man victoria is so depressing.. its going to be good to be back in QLD I tell you!

hmmmmm yeah nagkangs, I have heard they are good for no grip, sorry I would've paid the $30 each more for the falkens, grip is awesome out of them, but then again, they could've been out of your budjet, but yeah I have hear they are the crazy clarks of tyres :D

I used to have Nankangs on my car, they must have been the cheapest tyres they could find that would pass compliance. They were terrible, absolutely no grip, dangerous in the wet (braking down a hill was nearly impossible without locking the fronts!) and very unpredictable. Without any warning they'd just let go, I had some sphincter-puckering moments catching sudden, violent back end slides with the Nankangs on. I put a decent set of tyres on and the difference was like night and day. The car no longer felt like it was trying to kill me :D

well ze326 i guess don't feel unsafe, but they don't really grip too well.. but considering how you like to spin the tyres they'll be ok for that :D I got about 15,000km and about 12 months out of the rears on my r33. Thats not good value, no matter how little they cost.

well i was thinking about the r31 and how much.. I would have to ask around $2k.. which is more than i paid.. but i can't give it away, even if I do know the person :D I've seen a few r31 around, and some that sell for even $3k aren't too much worse off than mine. its got aircon (just needs more gas), sports steering wheel, mp3 face unit, couple of decent kenwood speakers, hardly any rust, loud exhaust, everything works, and it still drives fine. A p-plater would love it.

I'm in no rush.. r32 needs to be on the road b4 i even think about it.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
