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:

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It’ll be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
