I'm Crying Inside!!

Thanks To Those Yellow Bumps On The Road (Accidentally Hit One) One Of My Front Coilover's is snapped :thumbsup:

holy fark that sucks! hks coils?
I reckon he has coils from china made of bamboo :D

So sad to hear that Tom

You sounded like you actually liked those coils a lot

Hope all goes well and you can get another coil at a decent price

I think your right steve....china bamboo by the sounds of it

was in the same situation you are a few months back, thought about going cheap king springs & shocks, but ended up waiting for a few more weeks, and sacrificing a little.

and ended up getting HKS adjustable coilovers and they were well worth the wait, makes a huge difference.

Plus second hand coilovers aren't that expensive these days, seen sets for like $800.

you shouldve done this knock-on-wood.jpg

only 12 spots left in the SAU AFL Fantasy Footy league! see sig.

also, any (decent) offers for my wheels?

You'll never sell those rims... you may as well get a metal saw and cut them into bits so u can see as 'Genuine DamoR34 paperweights, limited edition vpec 3'

-D

Damo have you tried selling those wheels in the main for sale section

also have the price a bit lower i guess.....coz you can get those Doriftotecks for like $1400 for 18's

just a suggestions

loose $200 or so bucks to get rid of those wheels i think is worthwhile

or another suggestion is wrap them in semi slicks for some mad track days

craig wtf were u searching for!!!

Do R34 skylines have factory immobilizers?

How do you know if your alarm complies with AS406??

Trying to answer stupid insurance questions!........

Stupid indeed, who asked you that, all the times i've asked they just wanted to know if i had an alarm, not if it complies with AS406 etc..

lol, conversation with JustCar

"how can i help you?"

"oh i installed an alarm in my car, just wanted to update you guys"

"yep thats fine, anything else?"

That's not what happened with me.

They didn't care at all about an alarm, they wanted and I mean mandatory a black wired 2 point (at least) immobiliser. So I had to have removed an alarm/immobilisor I had put in the car a week earlier that did not comply and have another installed that did comply.

Threw $380 down the toilet because I didn't do my homework in regards to Aus standards and what just car insurance required

finished the big front mount, lol looks funneh - sitting tooooo low

got to go back an inch or two, but that means re-lipping something I cant do here.

grrrrrrr, still bolted up ok just yeah, too low atm.

going in for touchup tune in 2 weeks so will get it fixed then; my knees cant be bothered atm in all honesty :D

drives well tho

ahh ok i did mine over the phone, r34 i suppose it would say on the alarm/immobilizer unit itself AS406, but since it's from japan, which i believe they did have a factory immobilizer, probably not.

Just tick yes lol, and upgrade to an aftermarket alarm from like Tisonics etc

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
