Basically I had to pay off a whole bunch of debts. I kept some money to buy another car and the r31 is it :(:D

I've already done some cutting of the front bar for the fmic and put on some tints (Thanks Greg from Unique/group buy thread) :(

Just bought some s13 lower control arms and brakes today in preparation for the s13 coilovers. (Thanks to Kirk/Initial Imports, who can get you rb74 pads for $136 an end) Hopefully I can find some decent/affordable second hand ones. I've also ordered a intercooler kit for it today from gktech $349+45 delivery and they have kits for a31s!!

Need the diff fixed.. anyone know how to weld? I smell bacon :(

you bought a 4 door just so you could stay in this section didn't cha? didn't cha?

if you were in melb I'd ask you to bring the car around to give it a spray in the paint booth to cover up that nasty paint fade.

You have a booth? I was going to hit it with some matte black but I'm not sure how long the paint will last (at $3.50 a can). If you can paint it for me it might warrant a drive to Melbourne and some sanding.... How much would paint cost?

and yes I did wanna stay in this section so I can find rims in 4 stud with GOOD offset and cheap (i.e. it'll hurt the guards) then I'm there :D well.. me and everyone else. Or maybe 4-5stud bolt on spacers.

Good that you sold it tho, must be a good feeling to be debt free again.

Debt free owns.. Actually I'm still in debt for a year or so but atleast now I can get my own place.. been shacked up at the gfs and nearly been stabbed a few times - not correlated really :(

I will have a cefiro one day again however, assuming I don't change my mind between now and the time I'll be able to afford one again ;)

As for the r31, s13 coilovers, VLT setup+FMIC. Hopefully drift pig. I was considering a 25/30 stock setup but with rb25 heads + ancillaries likely to cost over $1k it's hard to justify that on what is essentially a rolling fridge.

The thing is an ugly piece of shit with smelly interior (which will be removed) and piece of shit lethargic SOHC anchor as an engine.... Still - it is RWD, a Nissaaan and can be drifted... and funnily has a RB sound and feel to it (altho a lot more asthmatic than the DETs). Spose that's not -too- bad. Morgs also threw in his trolley jack to sweeten the deal :D:D

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By George. · Posted

      Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?

      Do you know what size restrictor? Just flushed it with the Prestone flush & then water numerous times until the water ran clear, still looks rusted & will no doubt cause trouble later.

      you can enter your VIN (the original, japanese one) here to find the correct part#: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan however, after all this time it is more likely to be a wiring issue than the sender

      no, it was the same here, just flurries but no need to get the toboggan out....but it is exactly the sort of days where its good to have some inside jobs on the list. Speaking of which the fuga is driving properly after 2 1/2 years.....but that is a whole other thread

      And yes, put in the restrictor while you are there; a standard engine is fine with a little less oil and you are less likely to run out of oil if you have sustained high revs for any reason eg visit a track one day. How did you clean the cooling system
