Yeah, Im not a fan of the front bar as it stands now. I have attached a MS paint pic of what I would like to do, I think it just makes the car so much cleaner. (excuse the MS Paint effort LOL)

Anyway, might have to get some quotes on it to find out how much. I was thinking of a GTR bar, but at $300 for the bar from Viva, then modification to fit, then painting, figure It might be a cheaper option just to modify the existing bar :worship:

Yeh thats exactly how my bar is! Alot smoother in my opinion! Besides i thing the GTR bar needs to have the wider front 1/4's otherwise it looks wak!

ANy one out there know if 180 seat rails are a direct fit with r33 seat rails??? I have found some cool bucket seats that are coming out of a 180 and before i waste a couple of hours fitting them in my r33 ii would like to find out whether they just bolt straight into the existing holes...

Cubes....... anyone........

Its really not difficult to own an R34 GTT at the age of 19.

They can be picked up for ~25k ish.

Back when I was 19 I bought a 25k VS 5ltr 5speed commodore, ~3years old back then.

Exactly, you just gotta work hard (and have decent pay ofcourse) and know how to save ur money.

I have no idea Red..

Regarding your stuck coil over. I had to use a fence post on the end of a breaker bar on one of mine.

Your good at persisting; give it another shot. :P

Suspension is being done as we speak.... i needed a hex head socket set not a 16 point one.... .i kept rounding off the bolts (this time persistance didnt pay off)... so i thought it was time to give it to the pros to do......

anyone keen on trying to keep up tomorrow night... same time same place if it is dry. (hills run)

any idea on the 180 seat rails being a direct fit to a 33????....anyone

Regards,,,, Chris

Chris, just get a $30 socket set from Supercheap or somewhere if you're in need of some. That or get a set of ring spanners as "multifit" tools are always going to strip nuts etc. Even adjustable spanners are evil (2 edges of grip). Whenever possible, ALWAYS have all six sides gripped.

Anyway, hope you're happy with how it turns out :P

Hiya Shaun :thumbsup:

I did get your email, sorry was so busy today...

I will ask around and get back to you :thumbsup:

Have you been spotted yet with the new plates?

Hey Jess :P

It is all good, i know you are busy it is all good.

No spotting with the plates yet as i am not putting them on until the new front bar gets fitted and painted and the rear number plate bracket gets fixed.

How is your car going?

nice too see my advice goes unnoticed once again would of had it installed for half that price and a good price on tires

ah well, so long as your happyw

I hope so too after another 200 spent on my car....

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
