Cheers for that. I just got Ikeya formula ones myself, awesomely made and very tough, but thinking of changing to cusco as they have the dust covers. Will go Ikeya Lower control arms later, but don't really know anyone in adelaide who has the knowledge to adjust the roll centre correctly.

True, Ikeya arms are as tough as nails. Far surpass the factory gear. I have standard traction arms in the S14 and also in the 31. (Have 33 GTS-T cradle going in)

As for adjusting the roll centre.... it's not a case of something someone can do, the arms themselve have a roll centre adjuster built into them, which brings the roll centre back up to near where is should be. I dont have them in the S14, probably wont get them. My roll centres are through the earths core, yet it seems to drift fine. Nothing internally combusts or the earth stops turning LOL. I may put them in the front at some stage as my LCA's look like they're at a 45 deg. upward angle lol......

What you said is more correct talking about traction rods.... not too many people have the knowledge to set them correctly. I may get some later on, but a very low priority on my list of things to do.

i know you can make the steering wheel go in and out but that doesnt help i need it to go up more..

underneath the steering wheel where you pulled down the latch thing to make it go in and out there will be another one just next to it to move the steering wheel up and down

And from all accounts he charges through the ass for f**k all work. :D

Apparently his dad @ The workshop is the man to see. Cant remember what the name of the company was though.... Ill send him an SMS and find out.

bingo, i got charged a buttload to do not a lot (and the job only ended up half done on my trailer as it was), they used to be good but i would only recommend them if i knew the dad was going to do the work

kye, its not really that hard mate, but if ya want some help, get in contact with pete (marv). he'd be able to help ya out im sure, and he's only over at pt noarlunga. enough bribery with spirits would get him over to ya

id offer to help but wouldnt be able to do it for a couple of weekends

having bbq at my place today for aussie day, if your bored and want to come round hit me up with an sms or a pm if you dont have my number, i'm up near modbury/ingle farm.

Ofcourse it was on there behalf, were all the reason's why ppl have car crashes and that on the road, so chowing there doing something about it makes them look a whole lot better for doing nothing

omg the lights on the intersection of brighton rd and jetty road brighton are WAY out of wack

was in my mates car, we had a green arrow to turn right off jetty rd onto brighton rd, so natrally we went... but a massive truck came steeming up behind us with more wheels locked than i care to count.

went back there and watched the patterns, and sure enough, there was a green light for the traffic to keep going on brighton road, while it was showing a green arrow for ppl to turn off jetty road and onto brighton :S :S

my mate reported the fault... hopoefully no one got in an accident.... we were lucky

was it because you drive a skyline Carl that you see all traffic lights as green :P

do it Damo :D

lol, was in an 13bt RX4... i was the frightened passenger, with my a$$hole puckering like a blind knife throwers assistant

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
