yeah, im starting to get pretty disheartened about it all really. :)

as of today is been 4 weeks since its moved (and has cost me over $400 in loan payments and insurance for the privilege, and the parts on top of that). im about 3 seconds away from taking to it with 10 litres of petrol and a match.

ive called andrew and left a message, im having trouble seeing how 3 components designed to fit an s14 dont work together. its doing my head in.

i shouldve just used the gktech gear. wouldve been back on the road over a week ago if i had.

Push it in, make it fit. push the catback out as hard as you can?

tried that. even with the catback pulled back as far as it'll go (with ZERO play left in the hangers) the gap is still about 5mm too small fit the bastard in. add another couple mm for gaskets and yeah, shit just aint gonna fit.

PLEASE dont take it to AAA Andrew is @ supercup today and will be more than happy to help sort your shit out

BUT sounds like the apexi is whats giving you grief, how is the factory cat 30mm too long :blink: i would of though the factory cat should be the right length

yeah, i left a message on his phone. figured he'd be at dsc. both cats are the same size (factory is a couple mm larger than the xforce one), both fit fine with factory dump and front, neither fit with the AM pipe fitted, the gap between the rear flange on the front pipe and the front flange on the apexi is 30mm too short, which makes me think the front pipe is 30mm too long.

ah well yeah wait till he can sort you out becuase you've paid for his work and now he wont rest until its sorted but if you take it somewhere else and they butcher it then you need to take it back how bad will that be

yeah, i just feel like a bit of an asshole taking it back, ive already had to take it back once eh...

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
