Hook a brother up!

I am hoping that one person might be able to help me with both of the following, prefferably on the North side of Brisbane: I want to extend to an owner of a classic car a cordial invitation to a wedding on the ... and if they could pick up the bride on the way that would be awesome Preffered 4dr with roof. You will need to drive from Ferny Hills to Kedron to Margate on 17th Dec between 1230 and 530. This favour would be free, because I understand that charging for a wedding car means that you need a limo licence or somesuch. I also have a serious need to buy a $1.99 matchbox toy for a seriously inflated price (~17500% neg) in cash. Perhaps you could help me with that problem too Can anyone help?

had a few moments in the last week... Had a mate from training giggling telling me it sounded like the starship enterprise on boost more than a volvo... Had someone ask if it was a hearse the other night too... 5 years after buying it and I still love the attention it gets from randoms. Lol.

Am I right in supposing then that this is the same as DB1250 - will suit WGNC34 Front Pads? http://www.fmecat.eu/selProd2.asp?make=1526&model=4483&engine=&litre=4.1&prdgrp=2&langID=1&TsVer=&engseal=0 Q45 front pads? as suggested by someone one here previously? http://www.fmecat.eu/results/partdetails.asp?VI=14062&vPart=WBP23420A&Dlnr=4498&vAppNo=004&TsVer=1311153957511&prdgrp=2&langID=1&theType=0&isCV=1 http://www.fmecat.eu/results/partdetails.asp?VI=14062&vPart=FDB1263&Dlnr=62&vAppNo=004&TsVer=1311153985556&prdgrp=2&langID=1&theType=0&isCV=1 Can anyone check? my mechanic tells me he can't get 1250's or 1398's anymore.. discontinued part? Meh...

Highflow, 3" dump, FMIC and SAFC now installed. Sounds much more angry, has a ghey reverberation at 2K rpm but apart from that very happy. Feels better lower down in the RPM range too Got to get rid of my misfire issue now. And I know it's not the AFM now because the tune had perfect AFR's, so earth or coils merckons. Sparkies should all have been gapped down to .6 from memory. Then once I fix that I can start winding up the boost and I can worry about fuel rail duty cycles and pumps and stuff (yay).

keen... should car back in a driveable form by mid july. Not keen for dropping front shaft though... unless we can do it at EFI.

looks like wallace... of wallace and grommit...

sent C34 turbo to GcG yesterday.. wiating patiently for it's return

spotted white C34 in Brisbane.. we rode in convoy from Southbank to Newstead... clean stag mate Peace

after being a poor bum for 4 years, finally bought a return flow FMIC and SAFC2. They go in next week. Also replaced all the front bushes ater they all completely shagged when The car was too low, and put the airbox back in. Was running an unshielded pod before and it was sucking so much hot air it was misfiring at idle... Probably going to be more problem solving as it's still running prety rough.. but that should all be finally solved next week

pm'ed u

So what to do... after having the stagea lowered I am now faced with a choice... continue to replace the castor and camber bushes every 20 000 kms... or raise it... But it is sooooo pretty this low!!!And I want more aggressive castor.. not less! seriously...how much worse are uni-jointed castor arms tna bushes... I know they make noise when wet but is it really worth being concerned about...? and and what is the minimum height I should cut my bumpstops??? *end rant*

there a chain of joints called SSS BBQ BARN in brissy... where you can order a whole lamb shank for a single person. Decked out like lone-star used to be with barrels full of peanuts and popcorn. AWESOME FEAST!

security guard (nice bloke) at work pulls up next to my car in his recently purchased second hand `93 volvo... "wanted this to look like urs... know any good places to get tinting and my suspension done" I lol'd...

I can confirm... just got a notice in the mail that they will no longer insure me because of a change in under-writer policy. 24y/o w/ 60% ncb. blegh. 1 yr to go and I could've been with shannons... now i think just cars will be the only one.

Heya. Brought these YEARS ago.. finally going to put new rubber on them and put them back on the car. Wanted to know if I should fix this marbling effect BEFORE I buy new rubber... ANy indication on cost to fix this too would be great. Cheers It's not on the P/C.. just on the chrome dish part.

the numbers I had were: 83159 Front springs 70191 Rear Springs all whiteline part numbers and ordered through SK

how small can you go with those foamie bump stops anyway???? 20mm is my best guess but I'm no authority on the subject...

cheers mate. what i was chasing was anyone who had a similar ride height but who had managed to avoid any bump stop problems. I'm pretty convinced now that anyone who has been around that low on the bilstein/whiteline combo has had bumpstop issues, and the only way around it is a shorter shockbody or modding the struttops...or just raising it. I'm not really game to shorten my bumpstops anymore than about 30mm (using the foamie type bumpstops). and judging by some other posts of similar setups i'd have to chop at least 15mm more out of them for the springs to take care of most of the load bearing, and then i wouldn't have much suspension travel.... Can't do anything till next weekend anyway so I'll chillax till then as I don't drive it during the week, and I'll raise it 2 circlip grooves (16mm) and chop another 10mm out of the bstops... that should ive me about ~20mm suspension travel I hope (i reckon it's riding the bumpstops by about -4mm)

thanks mate.. that confirms it for me.... I'll get it raised and trim the b'stops a tiny bit too... on wed peddars will install NISMO mounts and i'll get them to do wheel studs, raise it, wheel alignment... finished.... I've done it myself a few times now but I am past caring and i've got better things to do with my only 4 free weekends this year than raise the car... again... blegh. Cheers heaps mate.

yeah it is low but i've heard of many other people on here rockin around with stuff at this heiht and I've never heard anyone having issues with bump sto pclearance... so just wanted to know how much their's was trimmed... thanks DaveB.. will check out ur post now...

pretty sure rears are s14 shocks actually....

refer this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/33...ag-t325597.html i'm told I am riding on the bumpstops.... and it feels like it... but bumpstops are at recommended height, springs and shocks check out fine.... 330mm centre of wheel to guard w/ SK's bilstein whiteline combo

have 330mm centre of wheel to guard front height on SK's circlip adjustable whiteline/bilstein combos. Bump stops are foamies trimmed down to about 30mm as recomended... A year after ok'ing the install, pedders tells me that they recomend raising and because it's bottoming out on the bumpstops. (?) what. springs are fine. Shocks are fine.... WTF? i do have understeer and lock up on braking on bumpy roads... so the ride out front is too harsh which would indicate the bumpstops interupting suspension travel... but they aren't too long by what I can tell... I don't understand... I was going to take them out and trim again to see if that made a difference but it looks like the shop has stripped my wheel nuts in the last wheel alignment and after about 2 turns i can't budge them with a breaker bar... FARK ME... has anyone else had these problems....?

after I up-specced my sway bar and exhaust I had the zaust swinging a little when turning and/or on a bumpy surface, so I got the occasional tap between the two. Solved the problem by getting some hi-temp silicon (rad pipe would do) and zippy tieing it on so that any clang is minimized... try you'r zaust and bash it around next time it's up... see if that makes a noise....
