The balancing act - where to spend the $$$, car or cruise??

Sorry, cams, [suspension] coils, and edfc won out.

Danny - did you check out SidneyKids suspension packs in the group buy fs...? I think its around $2400 complete, like everything. Fair bit of R+D on putting together an affordable and sound solution.

Yeah, but its too exe for me.......[not saying its not a good deal].

I'm just going to move the back to the front and get softer springs on the back. Then I'll fit an edfc and have a play. I can do this for under $800, and since I'm not racing i reckon it will do me.

I'll just set up for highway, country and town roads and press a button to reset the damping on my tein HA's [well thats the plan anyway].

I don't make millions like you do m8, I gotta go with the pauper pack!!!

They name em country roads for a reason.....

Those roads are not the freind of stiff skyline susspension although you can get your pilots licence if you log the hours on them. I know I'm quite airborne when I travel down that way. Nearly lodged into a tree due to an unsuspecting dip on a corner. Frightening!!!!

I can never earn enough money when I drive the 32. Not saying its antique just the upkeep goes up with age (damn wimmen). What about fuel costs? Have to pour fuel in the boot to use the boost.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
