yep, plenum off, i dont see how you'd get to the hoses any other way. Oh and its a BITCH of a job.

You've been subjective with spring rates and camber in your post - what are the numbers? Have you tried pineapples in the "traction" configuration? Although IIRC SK reackoned on 32 GTRs the "neutral" config was better, so maybe try both.

Next to passenger side strut tower. It will have two wires connected to the cap, which will turn on a warning light when the fluid level is low.

Risking - any comment on durability with the D2s, or is the jury still out on that? PS - i'm loving your old Teins..

I used to have 10 front 8.5 rear and a driving instructor told me the rear was too stiff for Eastern Creek. I now have 8.2 front and 6.4 rear, which was a fellow SAUers Oran Park spec. They're about right for me, but i like stiff suspension. Agree that 10-12 is nuts....

err unplug, and unscrew the old one, then screw in and plug in the new. Probably worth re-setting your ECU afterwards. Piece of piss (unless you own a GTR....)

Wow - i thought N1s/-7s/GT-SS were out of puff at about 330kw... Please put this in the RB26 turbo sticky.

Hey Deviat Did the master fit? Yep got the parts, now its the 'fun' bit - turbos back on....

Got the dumps back from Castle hill exhaust - only $70 and nice work. Thanks all for the recommendations.

IIRC R32 is quicker in a straight line but R33 was quicker around nurburgring, due to better suspension & attessa setup. R33's are only a little newer....

Where did you get that info? FWIW the standard interval is 100,000 and that's for mineral oil. Synthetics should be more like 300,000.

My memory is opposite: MT90 for good condition transmissions, light shockproof to help worn synchros work better (so postpones the inevitable gearbox rebuild). Ring Redline for confirmation.

The o2 sensor adapter that comes with xforce dumps is a joke - the sensor wont sit in the fluid path at all, so i want to get the dumps modified so that the sensor sits similarly to the standard dumps. Any shop recommendations for this? Prefer inner west, but hills district is an option.

+1 and +1. Standard fuel system is ok for up to ~280kw (tho fuel pumps get tired so it is probably worth replacing that) I just blow one of my turbos at 13psi. Conservative tune, 120,000kms. (FWIW they're supposed to be replaced every 100,000kms).

There's nothing inherently stiff about coilovers - you can get soft ones, just educate yourself on spring rates before you buy.

I already have some 20 year old ones that i could put back in... i wanted something in better condition.

I got a couple of pages to load, but the third i tried failed. Its not a compression problem despite what the message says.

Nissan want $280 for these two and one will have to come from Japan. I always assumed it was low pressure since its just pipe clamped, but the hoses are pretty chunky looking and moulded into a specific shape... would i have any problems with replacing them with something flexible from pirtek? (for the one with the metal end i would just cut it off at the join to the rubber bit, and pipe clamp a section of hose from there to the resevoir).

Nah just get a whiz bang server in the states - the 220ms is not worth worrying about.

Dude why care about 220ms out of 8 seconds? Its just under 3% contribution to the time... Most of the internet is in the states... so think of it more as "normal" instead of "ridiculous" :-)

I have this same error after upgrading my proxy from squid 2.7 to 3.0. The squid devs reackon the webserver is misconfigured; They said to me; "Please notify the webmaster of that site about the issue a well. It is caused by a HTTP/1.1 misconfiguration at their end that 3.0 does not cope with well. http://squidproxy.wordpress.com/2008/04/29...decoding/" Basically Squid 3.0 talks to webservers as an HTTP/1.0 client, but the webserver sends chunked encoding which is a feature of HTTP/1.1...BUT i couldnt see any options for tweaking chunked encoding in httpd.conf... so i dont see how it can be configured around in apache - i think it more just the way apache works. I'll just use the squid workaround, but i'd say dori34 is probably stuffed, unless PranKeh can figure out the config.

There is a thread by SK about why not to use lowered springs with the standard shocks. A search should find it, but IIRC it damages the shock, the lower you go the more risk. If you're going to lower a lot you really need to get coilovers. A few other things to consider when you a lower; - You'll need to get adjustable arms or bushes to be able to align the car again after you lower it - You'll probably loose ride comfort (esp with 20in rims...) - You'll compromise the handling if you go too low Also almost coilovers are height adjustable, which means you dont have to be stuck with whatever height lowered springs may give you.

Stock rail pressure + stock injectors seems to be considered ok up to ~280, so 300 with some more rail pressure seems reasonable. Just make sure your tuner is more focussed on providing a safe tune rather than a particular power level, ie ask him to get as close as he can to 300 but keep it convervative.

NSW. So i guess i'll contact him to see if he has the report.

The rego papers say "modified as per report number XXXX.1234.YY by Trent McMahon" so i googled "trent mcmahon vehicle engineer" and found; Trent McMahon Telephone: (07)3398 4126 Fascimile: (07)3398 4126 E-Mail: [email protected] and McMAHON Trent (IE Aust) OS Imports Pty Ltd So do i contact that guy to see if he's the same Trent McMahon or try the RTA?
