Man, i there with you. Mines been off the road for.. *gulp* 12 months. Have a mass of power steering lines to re-route, 12v feeds to run through the cabin, engine oil cooler to finish lining up... all waiting till i can get my tahbin and m.fold - i LONG for the sound of the RB again

It can often be hard to get under the gurl in the ever colder nations capital, to be covered in PS fluid.

At the moment im on a raising rate dose of HiOctane / JDM vids, plus 80's Rally docos' and rides in mates fast rides

Almost there, have faith man

M

yeh i got engine oil cooler to install as well along with mounting my bolt on intercooler which dont fit argggggghhhhh but hey as u said it will come together soon...good luck with yours 2

steve that sucks about ya licence mate ill have mine bak for awhile when ya get yours...did ya even take the 33 for a run mate

hey kane, interested in you car and mods etc.

i have seen many cars (GTR's on the dyno) i believe firmly awkw is more than rwkw, as the drive train loss etc.

not as big as some people think, but about 10% difference on average!

if you have time, pm me with you mods and figures etc!

as for the cooler, i just installed my 100mm cooler on my GTR, whatta bitch, hahahahhaha!

if you need any help with anything or would just liek mroe information, dont hesitate to ask or pm me, look forward to hearing form you and seeing how your car has turned out! mine should be running, well run-in tune, in a few weeks! ~15k later! hahahahha!

did full forged bottom end, 33gtr crank brand new, everything new or replaced or overhauled to some extent!

im hoping to push close to 400rwkw, but im sure my 2860r-5 wont handle it. see hwo we go and some fine tuning might get me there, car has run 11.7 with stock everyhting just boost and turbo upgrade. so we shall see 10's hopefully on a stock box. hahaha! hopefulyl she holds up!

cheer kane, look forward to your response mate!

Good luck with the install.

Why don't people just fix things as they drive the car.

Putting a car off the road for that long just isn't right....

yes still going as i did lose my licence for 12months so i had no rush in getting it going again?but now i have my licence bak the rush is on lol...got them mounted and the fuel pump just about sorted.so i still got to mount cooler and clutch then a tune....

At this point I would like to check if you have put aside $8000 or so for the possibility of a rebuild.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
