Guys...

the front end of my car has knackered itself.

It's in Flemington at the moment and the guy reckons it's really bad and he has to freight the parts to Sydney to the companies other workshop and then... the 'might' be able to fix it but won't know till it get's up there.

Can anyone recommend a place (western side prefered)... or is there someone here that knows what they are doing to help me out?

He said the earliest would be end of next week for my car and he'll charge me while the car is sitting on his hoist :(

So if someone can help it would be much appreciated!

it will be worth a few slabs at the least.

Now that is rough! I'd already be taking it somewhere else. Get it towed - like megs said its not too expensive. I had to do it once I think it was like $60 for 15km or something.

Suspension or steering problem ?

do you know what has given up? like which part(s)?

Something to do with the sleeve inside the strut leg has gone... and the shocker bolts into the bottom of it. Hence the terrible noise it gives out

make sense? NFI !!

Basically the didn't come standard like that he reckons and that it was done to turn it into a coilover ?!?

Does that help anyone?

yep...what I *think* has happened...

they have used a threaded sleeve onto stock strut...some people

hold up the sleeve by welding it onto the strut, while others will cut a groove around the strut and put some kinda clip to hold up the sleeve, sounds like your bolt has allowed the sleeve to slide all the way down???

Just a guess....

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
