Hi all,

Recently after taking my R33 to a garage that I was told would "look after me" in the way of a road worthy, I have come home with a list as long the longest thing you could think of, but longer.. Of things they say need to be fixed.

Some of it is absolutely ridiculous! They even included two month old windscreen wipers, it hasn't been driven in the rain in the past two months, I literally do not understand how they could've added them to the already long, long, long list.

So, as it stands, I'm trying to find a "friendly" garage that can help me out. Somewhere that actually knows what a skyline is & doesn't deal with your everyday p-plater & their 'fully sick' lowered commie.

Having said that, the car is actually in really good nic, it runs perfectly, is always maintained & the only reason I thought it may not pass is for a small crack in my front right headlight, WHICH THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT.

Can anyone help me? I'll shout you a beer! Maybe even two.

Thanks,

Alex.

what makes you think they failed the car because they don't know about skylines? all the things they check on a rwc are the same whether it's a commodore or a ferrari.

what sort of things did they fail you for? that way we can give you an idea on whether they are the sort of thing that even a more leniant workshop may not pass.

You mean those dodgy bolt on "racing" pedals that can potentially come loose and fall off which can cause an obstruction behind the brake which will limit the amount you can press the brake down and affect your stopping distance?

Yeah they're going to be deemed unroadworthy on ANY car.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • 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.
