hi every one,

I had an incident involving a curb last saturday night, when I had my ambitions mix up with my capabillitys, and decided to go drifting my gtr. :Oops:

anyway, I slid the ass end into the curb and took out my rim, lower controle, and hicas steering rod, and was wondering if anyone had an old hicas rack so i could buy a rod off it and im also chasing a rim its a advan racing three spoke 18"x10" to suit 275, 35, 18 tyres, I realise this rim is rare, so even a second hand set of 18x 10 inch rims I would cosider buying rather than buying a tyre/rim set and wasting 2k worth of tyres :P

if ya wondering what the rim looks like have a look at these pics

I found another rim place in Kenwick when I was driving home one day from work, never heard anyone mention it before though.

Mates sister mashed her 33 with those same rims on them about 6 months or more ago so I know there's 3/4 or 1/2 a set of those rims floating around perth. Somewhere.

Might be a good chance to buy a hicas lock kit. These don't normally come with the tie rods, but you can get these fairly easily. Mine were worn and Wilkinson's Suspension had some second hand.

There are also quite a few options for rose jointed lower control arms as well. I got mine (altough not fitted yet) from a guy over east who makes his own up. Try posting in the wanted to buy or suspension sections.

Mark - you've got an R32, right?

If so, this is easy, this just involves dropping out the whole rear rack including valves etc and replacing it with a fixed bar. The tie rods screw into this. The hydraulic hoses are disconnected and the kit comes with bolts that block off the hydraulic hoses.

I think that just aout every workshop sells these now. I know that SST, C-Red and Hyperdrive all can help you out with these. Again, there is a guy on the forums here who sells them for a $100 (off memory?).

Ok - the R33 is a bit more complicated as it has the Super HICAS - i.e. the electro version (and not the R32 hydraulic).

Tomei do an electronic module that fools the HICAS computer into thinking all is OK. This kit only comes with washers/shims that lock the existing bar, however.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
