Finally got my car back today :) Although I don't think the wheel alignment was done properly, steering feels a lot heavier and for some reason the car feels slower :\

Always took simon for a receiver, not a giver.

This I can confirm!

Have a look down near your Alternator, in front of it (sort of below more so), theres a power steering line which should have a sensor tee'd into it. See if someones undone that plug as it's fairly common cause of the steering being heavy.

Chompin Italian at Ash's new restaurant next to Squires

I would try if I didn't have a wood fire oven at home

would take me less time to fire it up and cook pizzas at home than get to nunawading lol

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow. I had a quick look at my car tonight (through the heavy rain) and I think they've done the alignment completely wrong though, seems the camber (and possibly toe) are out, which explains why it feels slower as well.

Did you get your Alignment printout? Get it fixed if they've screwed it up badly (it's gotta be hellishly out if its actually causing so much drag you can feel it being slower)... and it'd be munching through tyre already

Nope, the panel beaters took it to another shop to get the alignment done so I don't have any documentation. I knew I should have sent them an e-mail with the wheel alignment specs, most shops are horrible at getting the right specifications for imports. I remember on my last car when I needed a wheel alignment and I told them I have the specs for it, they just said "Don't worry, we'll work it out" and I foolishly believed them. Got the car back and it was terribly out of alignment, they are just too lazy to look it up.

I'll be calling up tomorrow to get them to fix it, because it definitely doesn't handle as well before the alignment.

    • I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes
    • Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
    • Why didn't you buy the one I originally linked in QLD which was about 18k and in massively better condition with about 30k of tastefulmods holyshitmygodjesuschristman.
    • hey mate so i was in a similar position needing something better than oem for track but also wanting it to look the part, i went for APG APG Performance Brakes they are a solid price and i have had no issues with any of the components from them. the rotors and pads can be swapped out for all the usual brands just ensure you are getting the right sizes. i have just a front kit on my car. i would recommend upgrading to a bigger master cylinder as they are a bigger calliper so you can actually notice some increased braking performance
