post-43183-1194648656_thumb.jpgMy GTR R32 arrived from Adelaide yesterday and I had it at the pits within hours, trouble is, it didn't make it.... :happy:

Guages Pod at eye level (happy for them to go)

Leaks round CV boots

Leak by diff

Leak by steering box

Tien suspension - Not enough travel. Seems f**king unfair!

Crappy tint (happy for it to go)

Radiator not secured at the top (Boostworx put it in just before car was sold.

Anyway I guess thats what a car sold on the basis of an unlimited maint budget and inspection from Boostworx in Adelaide gets you.

How does it go? Very sweet ;) with the few k's I've done so far..

Main question, where can I get the suspension & leaks fixed asap? Got a booking at Hyperdrive on 3rd of December but I'd prefer to be driving the car sooner!

What pits did you take it to?

I took mine over to the Midland pits earlier in the week, and passed with flying colours. Though the next thing I need to do is arrange permits.

My Cusco suspension is rock hard (can't push it 1cm even), and mechanic told me that the only thing that would probably fail my car was the suspension and the reverberation (whatever you call it) through the air filters due to the BOVs being blocked for the inspection.

Tint you can take it to any tinter to remove for about $20 or so. I had limo tint on all my windows except for drivers and passenger one, however I think the law states you can have dark tint on any fixed window :S I'm removing the tint down the track as I can see f*ck all at night through the rear window.

You could probably take your car to some 'general mechanic' for the suspension etc, as if they can't do it they'll probably out source it to someone else. (or just see the above post lol)

Good luck.

there are some new tricky laws regarding coilovers now

thats why i said go to WA Suspensions as brad is full bottle on it

something to do with it has to be full travel in the shock, legal ride height, but also that its at the lowest possible winding (ie you cant have it at legal height with only 20mm of thread left, but you can have it at legal height with like 70mm thread to play with)

whatever it is, its tricky....let somebody else sort it out i say :happy:

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
