Positives:

- Looks awesome to people who appreciate it..

Negatives:

- Incorrectly used, you can smash your front bar onto the pavement!! Not to mention exhausts etc.

- Shitty car handling. I've heard that it makes your car handle like a boat, even when lowered!

- EXPENSIVE!!

- 70% of people (IMO) will think you're a total tool.. :D

Amen.

Hydraulics are definetly not allowed in nsw, Airbags (bags as truckers call them) are ok. I have plenty of mates into the whole truck thing. Also have a mate with a bagged cresida now it is cool it is somethin very different.

Each to there own, where as the handling comment when the bags are right down it handles like a boat but when the bags are full of air it is seriesly stiff.

yeah, def not in a line eh! bag- snags, it's all wank, im mates wit the guy wit the cressie 2, IT'S PHAT, like ol' grandpa joe stlye and shit... but i have a mate wit a bagged lux, pretty cool, but as i and mate say, it's pretty W.A.N.K. also had a mini- dick show here in port cuppl weeks back, some were pretty sweet, but the majority were just all covered in primer... like jamie said, 2 each there own... Keep it spooln..........

Agree fully brett W.A.N.K factor. But you no the funny thing is most our cars are as low as there's an we aint on bags and we dont have as much bog, im guessing the idea of bog on the trucks is the extra weight will lower it some more im guessin thats there idea anyways. Dont think i dont appreciate a good truck because i do but i just find it hard to understand why most of the trucks are WORK in progress.

They (well most of them) live on a diet of wank and bongs...

should've seen all of them stoned runnin round at the truck show here a cuppla weeks bac... stupid f**ktards... yeah, its not a mini truck wothout bog or the occasion thong to go with it... ha ha... Like i said previously keep spooln!

dont get me wrond, sum trucks are sik! but why waste a turd load of money on somethin that lasts 5 mins but takin 10 mins to wait for the 5 mins again, (air runs out- compressor refilling-3 hours 34 mins later, yay more air)-spose its better than drugs but they still do that!

Hydraulics are definetly not allowed in nsw

that's news to me. I drive a car with hydraulic suspension pretty much every day. my soarer is one of 800 to come equipped with full hydraulics. (no not the usual shithouse soarer airbags). It was complied and registered in this state.

Love airbags n hydro's... both our VIP Celsiors have airbags (factory with aftermarket controllers to allow em to sit an inch off the ground) and the Maxima has hydros...

Hydraulics suck for handling and ride comfort,because its like having no springs at all and dampening is only provided at the midpoint of the height, ie there's no travel in shock absorption at full height and minimum height. They pull the chicks though... apparently. Airbags are much nicer for handling and ride comfort. Get an Air Strut though... they're replacement struts with airbags built in.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
