lol that makes more sense....would have preferred to buy one locally. BTW weather wasn't very wet this morning you pussies.

No, but it is more likely to throw an error code when then engine is running, and more specifically after driving for a few minutes (ABS and g sensor inputs won't work while stationary)

Not in a stagea, but I have done it in my old r33, r32 race car, navara ute etc etc. In each case it has tightened up steering feel and no noticeable issue with harshness. I have no idea how it affects the collapse of the column in a big frontal impact.

Farking! Where was it for sale. I could only find 3 in oz, (one in perth which isn't really oz). The one in Sydney was camry coloured and the one in SA looked a bit crap.

yep, that is a farking hard park!

actually, just counting....that is Nissan #8. The 6 car garage is too small. Anyone need to buy a cube? I really need to move it on now. Excellent around town, it has been hooning through roundabouts all week.

well it's a Nissan of course! f**ked if I'm scraping a windscreen that big with a credit card!

head out the window sounds damn cold. it has a gold badge for max vip cred I'm going to have to fight the chicks off

good call mate.....it's cheap, easy, good sized, and easy parts for future replacements

ahh sweet just found out I've just bought a cruisey car to drive down here each week....leaving Nagoya tomorrow

ahh f**k it, you're right. I'm off to buy a blowtorch

thanks guys. blanky + lots of tap water it is

credit card sounds f**king annoying. any tricks?

I'd be in for midweek movies. On an unrelated question....educate me on iced up windscreens. Just a kettle of boiling water?

where are they located, and what is the offset?

yep, every metal on metal surface needs a gasket to seal. Gasket paper or even cereal box would be fine on the intake. I have seen goop used but I don't think it is necessary, and it makes it much harder to clean and reseal next time.

more seriously though (Sorry chicks), I've picked up a 6 month contract down here, Dept of Defence.

It's the chicks mate

yeah unfortunately solid bits in intake are seriously bad. pull it all apart, and put a rag in next time. and unlike pete, remember to take the rags back out when you re-assemble

hey I'm a local these days just organise something during the week instead of the weekend

11 actually. Is there an ACT rant thread? I had to drive the cube down instead of the stagea this week....it's no highway star

I love the US prices! BTW, what was WD40's biggest news ever? I'm hanging to know!!

I guess that could work....but I've always put the car up on stands and then put a jack under the centre off the diff (good balance required). Nuts off, or right down to the bottom of the thread, and then lower it on the jack

My real name is Duncan, my forum name is just an alias I hide behind. And the 300RS stagea from the dyno day was mine. Thanks for getting this together Eric

ahh interesting, I hadn't seen that style of lock kit before. It's very similar in concept to the factory non-hicas setup on the stagea. I am not excited about the design of the brackets because they have a single bolt, and no apparent locating dowel or flanges against a locked surface. In any case, if a bracket with a bolt that big is moving it will not be a smooth "wiggle" but rather a sharp/clunk unless it is finger loose. also you would see scraping on the paint of the subframe if it was moving. given the inner and outer rod ends are bearings and new they should be easy to check for slack. is the outer end now a bush of some sort instead of the factory ball joint? If so, it might be the whole subframe that is shifting relative to the car?
