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.

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

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
