getting a bride zeta III logograph brand new off a mate and a pink steering wheel for the drift car haha cant wait to get it all painted up and back on the track!

Anyone got any recommendations for somewhere south to do a wheel alignment?

call andys tyre and battery i think its called in seaford.

they aligned my drift car and a few other drift cars there. the aligner has been doing it for nearlly 18 years and knows his stuff and decent price.

Well autobarn quoted me $996 for a 20L drum of gear 300, and thats basically retail price. Ive emailed some companies interstate so once i hear back from them I'll let you guys know. If i can get a 60L drum, you guys can just pay me for how much you need.

call autobarn noarlunga and ask to speak with chris ford, tell him i sent you.

he should give you a decet discount with the amount your buying hopefully. if not that was my only contact haha

I brought an FMIC kit from Just Jap on the weekend, got a call from them today at work saying that they don't have any of the coolers left that i paid for. So they are sending me a better tube and fine style cooler worth $100 extra at no extra charge :D I also got them to change the silicon hose joiners to black ones for stealth :)

cooling pro? have fun fitting it.

ive had to remake all my pipes, either because theyve had huge welding dags inside the pipes, have been too long, or have been bent at the wrong angle, on top of having to make my own brackets, replace 2 silicon joiners, and source my own bolts and spring washers. all with the following response from jjr; "you get what you pay for."

nah Luke it should start as "ONCE UPON A TIME..............YADA YADA YADA BLAH BLAH BLAH.........."

Yes Dave, that is pretty bad I must say. Should have learnt by now, buy cheap get cheap :P And before you say it, yes that's how you got me :)

Will do buddy, should be good to go for another run like last time!

If you like, you can hire a car trailer and borrow my uterus to take the car to him, will be slow, could possibly kill the clutch or yourself but the offer is there

Life Story entry #318 - drove the silver Stag to work today. Forgot what stock suspension felt like :) Anyone else drive a waterbed?

Got into work 15 minutes early too, just so I could avoid the nightmare roadworks on Port Road. I hate roadworks. :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
