Going to Tempe after new years to get some 18s. Till then it's the stockie rims!

I love this site, it's great to be able to get so much info and help at the press of a key!

Cheers guys!

hi guys & girls.

i own a red r32 gtr with too many mods to list here daniel or s13drifter has seen it.

i'm in q.b.n. and am furious i missed the cruise u guys had a few weeks ago, at moment just waiting for car to be completed so i can finally drive it after 6 months off the road.

i've seen heaps of gtst's in canberra driving around and it'll be good to see them all together driving around.

Ok well I got my 18s before New Years so I had 'em for da 'nats cruise! Huge deep dish shadow chrome jobs, which so look the part. Now I am saving to get a 3" exahust turbo back, a pod air filter, a big front mount intercooler and a boost controler. Then we'll go up to 10 to 12 psi (damn ceramic turbo). Then no doubt I'll fry that turbo and get a big mother.... ohh I wish! :P

I also ordered the plates YGT25T yesterday. I was surprised no one already had 'em! $412 on plastic plates 'cause they are an out of series Y plate. $1300 or something like that without the Y 'cause GT isn't my initials!:D

Located in Torrrens and work in Erindale. White R33 Gts25t, with white 17s. Oh yeh with Elitesport sticker on front window.

Hope to meet up with more skyline fanatics.

Have fun

G'day Oz,

Welcome to da family :D

How's things?

I think I've seen your car parked up at Erindale a few times. The last time I saw it it didn't have any number plates !!

Nice car.

Thx Jay for the welcome.

Till today it had QLD No. plates on it. Just got the ACT ones.

I was at the ACT shop front at Tugg. and took the plates off to swap them over.

May need to use your services soon, I did a self patch up job on the handbreak leather bit. Don't look too professional.

I've seen a pic you posted of your car (Silver with FMIC), but have not spotted it on the road yet.

One day :D

Oz.

Cool,

LOL - I remember the first time I saw your car when I was going into the car park - I almost had a head on with someone cause I was thinking to myself "nice skyline"... LOL

No worries about the handbrake doova's. Drop me a PM if you need a hand.

Yeah I used to have a Swift GTi with NSW Raven plates. I had it for about 4 years (1993-97) and it had an awesome system in it.

Competed in a few sound offs and it did pretty well.

I am curious? do you remember that car? Did you see it somewhere?You sure have a good memory.

I still have the plates and they are now on my MY00 Black Rex. They were originally on a black 350 Chev powered SLR5000 which I entered in the 1991 Summernats.

cheers

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
