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

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

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
