I highly highly doubt you have 13mm of ground clearance Cyrus.

Thats 1.3cm mate!

I've got 100mm (the legal minimum here in VIC) at a few points in the car. Tempted to lower it slightly more, but then my brand new jack wont fit under the cross member any more... decisions decisions.

ad a low VN a few years back and had to make up small wooden ramps so we could get the jack under the front bar. Drive on to ramps, then jack it up. As long as the emergency jack still fits under!

Getting the valve clearances redone, its too noisy to hear knock on the 'phones so I cant run high boost through it. Once its fixed ill throw 22 pound at it and see if I can break the 400rwkw mark.

[Ska]

You are right alex, now I have 1.7cm or 17mm of clearance thanks to qld fcuked up roads and a couple of big whacks in the exhaust.

Now that I have rear camber bushes (thanks to darrin) I'll be raising it to at least a good inch or two. stupid freakin qld crap road, national discrace, not national highway.........

you're whinging about crap roads because of a discrepancy of 17mm in height over a length of 2720mm (wheelbase of your car)?

[Ska]

Not really whinging, I knew my car is too low, hell if there is a slight bump in the road I'll bottom out, just got really annoying that on a national highway I had to drive on the humps so that I was not constantly bottoming out, and even then I did bottom out several times.

Time to raise it

Ska, Was the comp. test only down because you had some on your hands or does it have some symtems?

[Ska]

Man you are starting to post sentances like Yudy and Hugh, I'll translate for those who cant speak icanttypish:

Ska, Was the compression test only done because you had some time on your hands or does the motor have some symtems?

Nah there was a tiny bit of oil in the top of the radiator so just wanted to know if it had come from the motor or if I had a head gasket problem, also if potential buyers wanted to know what the results of a compression test would be I have what they were 2 weeks ago so that they can compare them to any results they might get.

I had a bit of spare time and had access to all the equipment for doing it, (Marc (Revhead) Dad's whole workshop), so thought why not get it done.

[qikstagea]

Future plans?? BUY A NEW ONE.

Cheap autech 260. S1, cheapest i can find.

Rebuild engine with big single turbo.

R34 GTR front end conversion from MASA.

Pump rear guards a lil, fit some matt black or black chrome dishy wheels

Paint it silvery blue, really light, bit of a pearl in it.

Try to get complete untinted windows, like Newbies. Leave em clear.

Put my stereo with custom box, 6 amps 4 subs etc which was sitting AT WORK WAITING TO BE PUT IN after being painted, in the back.

Time - two years

$$$$ - more than my first attempt

New number plates - [ROUND 2] - for obvious reasons.

[skidkid]

Me?? If so I am sorry I have bad grammer but I was only asking!!

[Ska]

No Probs

[stasis]

Changed of plans. Much easier to buy a whole new engine (eg. Hks, Z tune or Jun) Ehcak it in and done with it!! The res of the bits and poeces stays the same.

[FLYSLY]

When i got the Stagea from Chris it had:

Fujitsubo Cat Back

Power FC

New Wheels

Better brakes or stainless lines

Re-Spray

Thats about all i can think of at the moment as i do more ill update.

And if ive forgotten anything and i remember ill update

Well its been a while since ive updated my mods list, so i thought i would bump an old thread see what you guys think of my new mods and hopefully you guys can comment and im hoping some new members can also post up their plans!

So basically ill just write up my new mods and what they are replacing if they are replacing any at all!

Mods:

The Work wheels that where on the car when i got it, i got rid of them late last year for some 18" Chromies which are now for sale as i have just purchased some R32 GTR Wheels which should be here sometime this week.

Ive got myself a new HKS HI POWER exhaust on the way which also should be here this week. so that will be replacing the Fujitsubo cat back that i have which is already sold to another member.

32/33 GTR Seats which i should have within a couple of weeks

Ive bought a sillicon intake pipe in the Bass Junky group buy which will obviously replace the stock item.

Ive got some R34 GTT Rear calipers and rotors sitting in a box in my room just waitng to be fitted

I never ended up getting DEFI gauges instead i bought some nice Autometre cobalt gauges, ive got a Z32AFM sitting in my room waiting to be fitted, next to that there is an SITC waiting to be fitted but both of these items wont be fitted until i get an SAFC.

Ive also fitted a DVD headunit since last year.

I think thats evrything but if ive forgotten something ill add it in
