Hmm might be interesting, I'd be keen to see it if/when it's set up.

I've long wondered about how they'd go with a Vortech-style blower on the side though - simple exhaust, no lag and can be set to make good boost from very low rpm :D

stockymcstock from down south has a twin charge system on his skyline :D

For your mate, $30k. It is regarded as the best looking IS in OZ. And is maintained to that high standard.

Fark that sexy but no i cant help you out he was looking more in the 20K market lol.... but if i show him he will still be drooling.... cant hurt right :D

Ahahah lee you are one sneaky bastard, i love it! i need some housbricks to steal the rims of the landcruiser across the road :D

but seriously that would still cost a bit to buy rims, then special tyres to clear the defect.

Maybe i could seal the boot and pump the car full of helium :D

lol dude you hav another option....

depanding on how much you have to raise it... get your self a set of old rims and put high profile tyres on them this will raise the car.....

eg... 225/45/r17 was 11cm swaped rims and tyres 205/65/r15 ride height changed to 16cm, just do this to clear the defect then put the old rims back on.....

not special tyres it think its like 500 for a set with steel wheels and retreads...

but i'd go get the stocko's from shanes place, i'm sure you and John could work something out... like say you take them and he can go get stuffed :(

isaac, i have john's old stock suspension at my place u can use to get by. let me know when u can get out my way and ill whack them in for you :(

thanks for the offer shane. Could solve my problems, but heres the problem. I fly back home on a monday - 19th, must present car for inspection to cops by 23rd- that friday. Can you do it on a weeknight? (assuming you have one of those cushy 9-5 jobs :D wish i had one :D ) I could obviously bring the car to you.... guess it wouldn't take long to install stock suspension?

okay cool :) i'll let you know. Got quoted $2200 for tein super streets so really wanted a cheaper option lol. The locknut is busted on the coilovers on the right rear but as the adjusting nut is siezed i dont think its ajusting anywhere atm :D ... i hope :D guess if that goes when i'm doing 110kph on the motorway i'll have some brown trowsers lol

its 10cm unless things have changed. My car passed inspection at queensland transport at the height it was, yet i got defected by the police a year later go figure? The only point of my car that is lower than 10cm is the rear part of the exhaust, its 8cm off the ground.. the bodkit etc is 13cm at its lowest point (i know cos i measured it aaaages ago).

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
