Finally got my right and left rotors for the rear on Monday and as luck would have it I had an early day care of the wet conditions so I got to fit them today. So now I have the dba 4000 series slotted rotors front and rear. Very cool. I have put the bendix ultimates front and rear as I said before I was running out of money so they were a cheaper option. No performance complaints yet, but then I have been bedding them in so no real chance to test them out. But I will say they are the dustiest pad by far that I have ever used. Not happy about that.

im not sure how far that is from you, but on wednesday me and a mate went to noosa, we filled the tank up at yatala, and got there, drove around a little, and back to my house at tweed heads without needing more fuel... about 550kms i think... thats before fuel light came on

hey all just thought i make a start, i dont think ill ever be finished with my car. I got my r33 gts NA last august and it came bog stock with a HKS Super Drager Exaust and slightly lowered. The next thing to do wwas put the stereo in out of my old car. I then purchased some 17 inch chromies about a month later. Soon after that in went the subs with a basic but still custom install. As i save a bit more money i got both doors and all quarter panels resprayed. Then we were renovating the house and the front gate fell on it putting a hole in the front left quarter panel and bonnet. So back to the panel beaters it went. I soon installed some neons and other interior stuff like EL guages momo wheel and knob.

A little closer to the end of last year mum backed into it so back to the panel beaters again for a front bumper respray and GTR style front grille. I then got my licence in January, only to re end someone 3 days later as some **** WIT cut her off but oh well, if u run up someones arse its ur falt end of story :). I then got a boot lip style spoiler. In the last month i have completely re made my boot, which is now no longer a boot. I got it back today from the body shop with a brand new kit and some extractors and an Apexi S-AFC ii is going on in the next 2 weeks. I now have to save very hard to do a 5 stud hub conversion and put some 18's or 19's on it as the kit makes my 17's look like golf buggy wheels.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • 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.
