LoL thats true... just depends how you are... if you've worked around cars previously then should be ok, if you havn't and are dumbfounded by your motor & engine bay and cutting holes and fins and removing front bars and shit then give the workshop $250 and call it a day...

Yer and when you use an angle grinder on ur plastic front bar to cut it back to fit the cooler make sure u wear shit shoes.. as the plastic that flicked off stuck to my shoe burnt a hole in it (and my socks) and burnt my foot...

so add on another $150 for shoes

$10 for socks

30 cents for a bandaid!

Thanks for all your opinions guys its really helpful. After thinking about i think i might go with RE customs and pay the money, at the end of the day i could get it done with some help but like some ppl have said, and from my previous experience, some jobs are a b!tch and as much as i would like to put it in myself i think with something like this i really dont wanna mess it up casue i dont want to end up doing more damage then good.

Oh and i also like the idea of dropping it off in the morning and picking it up possibly that night with a fat cooler sitting on the front of it ready to suck some air.

Cheers,

Traum

but wouldnt you rather install it yourself then have the knowledge & experience of it? so you dont have to pay someone again if something needs to be done with it. Dont always think just cos a workshop did it, it will be perfect - my friends car went in for a service and the wrong oil filter was put on :|

agree

there's always a first time for everything. you might make a mistake or two but you learn from them and you'll know exactly what to do the second time you install a front mount.

don't know about you but i'd wanna do as much mods as i possibly can my myself. might not be as professional but meh, can't beat the satisfaction knowing you installed it yourself. you gain knowledge, experience etc...

each to their own i guess >_<

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
