Your ride height is far from low

if i had stiffer suspension it wouldnt bottom out.

these bilstiens, while being hard compared to std shocks, are spongy

writeoff can attest that when i was going to moonta last year, we'd hit a dip and my entire exhaust would bottom out on the tarmac and shoot a tonne of sparks, so much so that it ripped apart one of the welds on my muffler

its not about how low it is, its about how the ride height interacts with the suspension - i'd be fine if I had totally stiff suspension but thats not the case

Need coilovers

would be nice, but i need something thats street legal - got any tips on something that

a) rides nice on the street

b) is legal (or can be engineered)

c) is firm enough to handle well

d) doesnt bottom out

I got bilsteins atm but theyre the basic version (and probably getting long in the tooth)

If it wasn't an issue of legality I'd just buy the ISC coilovers and be done with it

Safe to assume an 02 sensor shouldn't be doing that an its probably farked?

/noob

Thanks!

Well actually yes that's what a narrow band O2 sensor will do when the engine is in closed loop mode. If you look at the voltage output from a narrow band sensor there is a big difference in the voltage between 14.6 and 14.8 and all the ECU does is aim above till it gets a low voltage and then aims below until it get's a high voltage, so by constantly going above and below it averages 14.7 which what we are looking for.

ahh brew ur twisting my arm eh brew

ok, are they off your car? I might see if my mechanic can fit it next week for me to test - I'll take it to and from loxton with your permission

-D

manage to find all my stock parts for my suspension. Hopefully i can get it cleared by the end of next week.

Main thing im worried about are the gauges, and fitting up a brake light to the rear window.

Yeah they're from my car man.

I don't see a problem with you taking them to and from Loxton, I'm sure someone has some details about you incase you do a runner - LMAO

*points to trader rating*

and sled knows where i live haha

can I ask what steering wheel you had and what reason theyve given for it being illegal?

I have a rear window brakelight out of a 32-R that you can borrow if need be. Ive been too lazy to put it in mine. Only need power and double sided foam to make it work.

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
