Hi all. Got myself a r32 gtst and during the inspection the mechanic said that the front wheel bushes (i think thats what he said) were worn and needed replacing and the air con needed regassing as it was not cold at all.

So anyone can recommend me any workshops that do these? I should also be getting the car serviced (check oil, check for leaks and stuff) at that workshop at the same time (scared of car dying on me while i'm driving in the middle of nowhere :Oops: ) since I'm there.

Thanks for any "positive" inputs :P

And by the way my rear wheel tyre threads are getting very thin and I will need to change my rear tyres my friend told me to go tempe tyres should i go there? Just seeking more suggestions from fellow forummers.

:D

I've been there heaps, and Grey Imports in Annandale do great work :)

Ask for Nathan, but you might need to call first they are pretty busy atm 9557 5938

BTW it is probably wheel "bearings" that were noisy and need replacing

And yes Tempe can be very cheap but for gods sake don't buy the Falken 326 they always sell, they are terrible tyres

It's cos if you're fully sick FALKENS ARE SICK BRO...

I wish I got money every time I have to explain people brands can have different tyre models and they look at me like a dumbass and reply "I've heard falkens are good" or whatever other brand their mechanic sells.

PS. When my driverside bearing was buggered (as it was tightened too tight by some retard before I got the car) it only ground (grinded?) when I turned the car one way - this may give you a clue.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
