Bear in mind it is a bit of a mission to do this at home as you will almost certainly need to take off the hub assembly to press out the existing ball joint bush.

You dont need to take off the hub to press bearings out, simple tool can do it on the car, even if you do need to take hub off its easy to get off no mission lol.

i have one these kits sitting at home waiting to be installed.. i wanna do this at home but my concern is finishing the job over the weekend as i have read its a pain to press out the balljoints

boostn0199: what did u use for the job? how long does it typically take?

ps - i have a small dremel which i was thinking of using to cut of the lip on the balljoint and press it out from that direction - anyone done it this way?

Modification of a steering system. Not permissable without engineering.

Hope mine is hard to see under the rear diffuser... Pretty sure they will have a field day with the Decat pipe. Is my fuel system illegal 2?

Take my tip. If it is still in whatever garish colour it came in, take it off and paint it black before crossing your fingers. Will make it much less likely to get spotted. Cops may or may not be bright enough to know whether the car was supposed to have HICAS, but they can sure as f**k tell that a bright orange/blue/red component is not original.

True that! I still have a airbox! and a cat some times lol

Basically i made up a mini ball joint puller and pusher so it pushes witha bolt to get it out. For me even if i did it with removings hubs wouldnt take memore than couple of hours.

Do ppl who put these lock out kits in, only do it to improve track performance, or do ppl experience issues with the HICAS on everyday road use?

I've never tracked my car, but I do know that when I engage HICAS on the road, I can take corners up to 20 km/h faster then when it is disengaged.

So just curious as to why do many ppl install lock out kits? I personally think HICAS is excellent, but like I said, never tracked my 34.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
