just got back from sydney today,bought my gf a sss bluebird atessa(little thing flys).while i was up there thought id check out a few workshops.went to unique autos first got a full tour of his garage,checked out his rigs and customers.pretty mad shit.his 300zx is pretty mad.talked shit for a couple of hours bought some trinkets off him.john seems like a great bloke would have no worries trading with him in the future.next day we went to bd4s they must of thought i was from a publication company at first coz i went and asked for a tour of his workshop.hes got some real mad shit in there heaps of gtr's.mr hks wasnt there which i went to see.the sony xplod gtr was parked in there(full sick lol).best thing there was yumee the yellow 300zx king of auto salon.i hate this car coz the bloke that owns it carts it all over australia and cleans up all the trophies.well while it was last in transport the straps holding it steady in the truck snapped causing it to hit the sides and wreck the front passenger fender and drivers rear quarter.not good for yumee.looks more like yukee now.anyhows the bloke must have sensed my skinny wallet and pulled out titanium hks exhaust for my 34.after some haggling i got a 25% discount of it and will arrive on friday ready for heathcote on sunday.So if u ever up in sydney way go check out the workshops was pretty good experience and both owners were great blokes.

ps:sydney takes the cake for driving i ended up everywhere but where i wanted to go.u get on a fwy and miss a turn and u cant get off for like another 10ks

well that's what you get when its the first city in australia...

you take a dot on the coast and you go in ALL directions outwards and you have the syney road map.

THere is an art to it, and once you've got the art figgered then its no sweat...

pfft watever... roads in syd do suck tho, esp thier speed limits and the way they repair em (which includes fill potholes in and not smooth it to the rest of the road, and if its a main road, pull out a slab of the road (as the roads are usually in slabs) and replace the slab completely, jus leave the slab an inch above or below the slab before it.

But anyways, think the topic was tours of Syd tuners...

get back on topic...

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
