    cheers for the cruise, was a good turnout lastnight, was good to take the GTR out..
  3. hey, I cracked up my front bar recently going up a high driveway it's about 3.5cm long in the corner, I was wondering if anyone knows how easy a fibreglass repair kit is it use?? I dont want to do it myself if it's hard and easy to stuff up, etc Also theoretically, can such fibre glass repair kits be used to strenthen body kits? eg thicken them alittle on the inside to prevent easy damage? What do you think? thanks for any advice you can supply me with, kind regards
  4. blind_elk: unfortunately i do mean 10cm! That's how far they sit below the top seats when the car is up After doing some reasearch and more driving, i have to get it fixed asap because the springs are also way too hard, they cause the car to jump around on uneven bumps, makes the car feel unsafe compared to the stokies Does anyone know if changing to progresive springs will be an answer to my problem?? Any Reconmendations? thanks, cheers STL
  5. thanks for the advice guys. Yeah, the springs hang from the top seats by about 10cm when the car is jacked up. Darn, looks like i'll need to go search for some springs Red: nah these aren't cut down standard springs. They are unknown blue coloured ones that came with KYB shocks. They seem very hard compared to the standards. All i know is that was how the package was when they came off a half cut from jap land. Also on the subject of lowering suspension on a car, i take it i need to have my wheels re-alined?? From what i can tell the camber has changed thanks again, STL
  6. hey, i bought myself some used lowered front suspension, off a half cut: unknown lowered springs and KYB shocks. When i had it put on my car, i just went to a average mechanic, seemed he didnt know alot about sports cars. Anyways when we got the supsension all put on, he was worried about the safety of it all. Because while jacked up in the air, and with the shocks hanging down, the springs just sat about half way up them, so there was a gap (if ya get what i mean, between the top of the springs and the top strut bit). As he didnt work with sports cars, he said on normal everyday cars, that shouldnt be the case, he said that the springs should always have contact with the struts when they are fully extended. I am really happy with the hight, makes my front bar exactly 100mm from the ground. So i was wondering if there were any safety probs with this? Maybe if i went over a big hump or something, is there a safety prob with maybe the springs not sitting right on landing? cheers for any help or advice you can give me STL
  7. i'll check that option out inark I have the pipe at the workshop being cleaned off at the moment... The thing is the pipe is quite long and has a few bends, so i dont know if the powder coating will be able to reach all the way in, since it is a sprayed on thing Any other options i should check out?? cheers
  8. yeah, the problem is meggala, outside it's ok... but i took a look inside, it's rusted from the condensation from air cooling down
  9. ok... i made the unfortunate mistake of using mild steel for my FMIC pipes. After a year or so, the pipe after the cooler has started to rust quite a bit I am having the pipe cleaned now, but what can i do to rust proof the pipe?? I cant afford to pay another $400 to have that 1 pipe remade. HPC would be perfect, but they are in VIC Can i galvinaise it??... What do Nissan use on the stock pipes?? powder coating? Or is there any other thing i can dip it in, etc?? Any help or advice would be much appriciated, cheers
