hey everyone,

i jus recently bought myself a r32 gtst that i imported and don't really know too much about them. Jus wondering to the left of the sterring wheel are a couple buttons for spoiler up and down.

Ive tried pressin them but nothin happens and was interested if anyone could let me know what they do. They don't seem like they do much to the rear or front spoiler. thanks

It is a lip that comes down from behind the STANDARD front bar, and creates a lower lip. But seeing as though yours has an aftermarket from bar on it, the button does sweet FA.

i've just imported an r32 gtst also, and i have the same switches and have been trawling the internet tryin to figure out why the spoiler is there. One opinion i was given that makes sense to me is that it reduces air flow under the car, which aids grip to the front wheels. I was also told that it wasnt as effective on the r32 than it is on the r31, a lot of people have removed them to save weight so maybe you're better off without it!

The lip works on a speed sensor and doesnt move until you reach X amount of speed at least it was on the r31. Took us a long time to figure that one out.

      How to identify wheel bearing noise?

      A euro that old, I'd change the bearings anyway. But definitely lift the wheel and give it a wobble.

      You're onto something here... Maybe that's his plan all along, he's just pretending to leave it stock then nek minnit, LS Bogan MX5

      He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...

      It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.

      Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques
