Well the tranny just gave up today on the Falcon work car so dropped it off to the good guys at All States Transmissions in Edwardstown. Thought it may have needed a service and a new solenoid but found a handfull of shavings from the clutches in the pan. Without a tranny cooler and towing a caravan, I think she cooked..........$2K for a c/o tranny. :w00t:

I suppose someone out there is going to tell me that I could've saved $500 elsewhere......then you'll see a grown man cry!

id get adjustable shocks, if u get super low king springs, it will be too low, and if u get normal kings, you will either sometimes want higher or lower. if you have long term plans of track racing or track work, invest in some ISC coils, i have ISC N1's and i love them

Kinda noobish question here, but whats the difference between springs and adjustable shocks and coilovers?

springs and shocks are seperate items: the spring is fitted to the sock absorber, whereas coils are the single item. basic answer, an expert can go into details.

got the week off so started by taking of my timing belt cover and coil pack cover... painting it in gold engine enamel..... its getting minor orange peel effect :w00t: but who cares it will look better than the chipped black

    • I'm confirming the "2 way" Nismos can be converted to 1.5's very easily as you already described. It's well detailed in the manual. I can scan mine if you need, I think I still have it laying around somewhere. 
    • Well, its worth noting that 450+ is probably enough to get you to church on time each Sunday already..... You mentioned cams, did you upgrade the valve springs as well? Factory ones will be well past their use case by now. And yes, the hydraulic lifters are likely to limit your usable rpms and AFAIK you need a (now rare and expensive) head swap to rb26 or even better rb25neo for that (to retain VCT) I don't think 4"/3.5" should be a restriction. What about the intake, do you have an upsized intercooler and what is the throttle body?
    • I also second realdash. I have it on my head unit as a secondary cluster talking canbus with my ecu. Works great. 
    • Something like this -  You can buy the arms in different lengths too. The suction cup goes to the windscreen. 
    • I do have an adjustable exhaust cam gear but I always presumed these only lead to minor changes. I'll play around with it next week and report back. Also wouldn't advancing, not retarding shift that power down lower?  We played around with VCT last year and it made more power with it on until redline. I had read somewhere that this is often the case with short runner intakes like I'm running but I'll revisit this after adjusting my exhaust cam.  I have a 4" downpipe and 3.5" line with two open dumps. I'm thinking back pressure would only start to be an issue at 35+ psi. I often hear people state things like "oh my turbo really only wakes up past 30psi" which goes against everything I know about centrifugal compressors. Is there any actual logic to this?  Thanks for the help dose.
