Yes, wheels world are agents for whiteline. They arnt in subi any more though, not sure where they are now. Nasty landlord wanted to raise the rent to an unreasonable amount so they have moved.

im going to set the story straight. i know the landlord.

the landlord did not want to increase their rent at all. they owe alot of money, which is mostly owed to the landlord in unpaid rent.

there are no winners. everyones lost out.

rob, can u please refrain from calling the landlord "nasty" until u know the real story. thanks.

i have nismo adjustable suspension all round in my car and am gonna take it to the drags soon, what would i need to set the rear on for optimum performance?? i am gathering that i would set it on the softest possible, to get the best traction, but im not entirely sure, can someone enlighten me on this???

u want a setup that doesn't bounce back up quickly after it squats. ie so the rear stays down allowing the tyres to grip better due to the weight being transfered towards the rear.

how u do that with adjustable suspension i have no idea but thats what your after.

I dont think you'll see an increase in power (maybe a better curve and maybe a couple of kw's). But with the better cooler the car will be getting more cool air in and intake temps will be better which will stop detonation. The next step is either bigger turbo and more boost, or (I would do this first) new ecu or rechip the r32 cpu.

sorry buddy, not sure what you're talking about - think you might have yourself in a twist :(

1.34 HP to every KW

kw = 1000W

watt=power

if running stock turbo you might find your car runs worse.. not better when fitting the new cooler. You may need to get some tuning done?

That cooler may to big for you current application.

I fitted a 750X350X100 to my R33. Initially run like crap, it gave me lag... took sh*t load of tuning of AFC and adjusting timing to get it right. In the end the cooler increased my power by 10kw on the dyno.

To this day I believe the cooler was to big for my car.......

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
