oh how i agree with this statement.

also agree - but it's also much harder as a seller to convince someone to take the responsiblity to obtain a RWC. Even more so because of how damn hard it is to get one these days!

I sold a car three weeks ago - first place i took it to RWC they said it was 5mm too low (!!), needed 4 new tyres (camber worn, fair enough) , needed the indicator globes changed from chrome 'stealth' globes back to orange glass, needed the rear wiper reinstalled (had a glass delete plug in) - and that the windscreen was sandblasted (a 3 yrd old car - the window didn't have a single chip in it). The amount of stuffing around involved in getting those things rectified before taking it to a second mechanic who would pass the windscreen was insane. It took me a week, cost around $600 that I had not factored into the agreed price that I sold it for, 400km's of driving and a lot of missed time from work.

So replacement car, I made it 1000% clear the seller would organise RWC.

Can't remember the name of the place where I got my RWC but I will PM you anyway.

The car pulled 1.01G (G force) while braking from 45km/h with cold brakes lol. He was quite impressed.

He passed this:

Unfortutanley the time has come for the car to go Paul, so if within a couple of months it's not sold as is, I'll put it back to stock.

If you're interested mate, we can easily work something out when the time comes :)

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
