What's that meant to mean? Tangomatt's car is one of the best R34 GT-Rs in Australia! I was happy to help GTRRKT import but in the end, I thought tangomatt's car would be a better option than importing a mint Nur that would be too nice to drive and would sit in the shed.

Well personally I know nothing about you or your rep really, but I was commenting that smaller one-man operations that charge peanuts are likely to be monkeys. As a general principal that is... you sound like a top bloke :) But while you might have imported 10 cars, places like justjap or whatever import 100s and know their stuff (in theory?).

Was there even a for-sale ad for your car? This isn't fair.

People should have an equal chance of buying your car! :thumbsup:

Josh, seriously, I don't know if you're trolling or been living under a rock, but rest assured, I've imported more than 10 cars in the last month...

Either way, importing a stack of cars doesn't necessarily make someone better at it - I know one company in Sydney who has brought in thousands of cars and I wouldn't buy a car off them in a million years.

WOW...you are a rip off carsales/car importers dream.... quantity over quality, great theory

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
