After 2 years of waiting and stockpiling parts, redid most of the suspension setup (Coils, arms, braces, swaybars, endlinks, bushings, wheels, tyres, rotors, lines, pads) for the skyline coupe :)

Went out and got some photos.

Good on ya. I think I maybe due for mine soon. Ive done inner lower control bushes last year. It would be good to know how much each of these costs.

nice car!

Thanks! 

Including labor, it cost me around 15k.

Most of it was taken up by wheels (~4.2k), tyres (~2k), and coils (~2.7k).

Arms (~1k), braces (~1k), swaybars, endlinks & bushings (~750), rotors (~500), lines (~500), labor (~3k).

Will and Richard did the work from Proworks Automotive NSW.

Looking into doing the exhaust (catback + hfc + header) next, but running into compatibility problems with ride height, and the 4was module stuck to the back of the diff.  

If you're after specific part numbers feel free to shoot me a message :)

Wow some serious work there. I guess there were some upgraded parts in all that.

mines a 350 so I don’t know how compatible they are. But was just after an indication at this stage. My whole car is not worth that much.

cheers

Likewise AHA, spent more than what i bought the car for.

It's definitely a bit hard to justify but growing up playing NFS underground always wanted to mod a car.

If you're going to mod it might as well do it properly the first time, it'll save you time and money in the long run right?

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
