Was at the Mechanics yesterday trying to get the Rear shocks replaced and they couldnt get the part as the shocks are the same ones used on the R34 GTR.

It has the Square end instead of the round hole thingy.

Was a annoid that i wasted a whole day trying to get this fixed. Dammit!

Then he said he could get Koni's $500 for the pair and then 160 for fitting! God dam!

Hmm well i got 4 new shocks for my R34 and i had to get nissan ones cos it was a warrenty job and they managed to get geniune nissan ones from melbourne for 250 each. I was going to get adjustable koni's for about 210 each or so but couldn't cos as i said it was a warrenty job.

Also they are different to an GTR but you are correct in that they are not an eye hole.

Konis are good shocks, I use them on lots of cars. But Konis and Skylines are not a good match. Do a search for details.

:P cheers :D

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
