@John get ur guards rolled first and lower it more before alignment. Lowering it will affect the alignment slightly.

Or be like me and get one today, one after you change the tie rod end, and another after you lower it :)

This one is free - so I'll let him know about the rolling and droppinng situation and see if he can cut me a good price for a tweak down the track if it needs it :)

Had budgeted for paying for one, so don't mind if I have to pay for one of the two :dry:

I am a little hurt you didn't come to the german club on saturday.

Theres 3 of us with R31s on here:

Colin's isn't on the road yet

Dan's IS full of rust

Mine is off the road almost as much as it is on it

We are hardly going to arc up about a harmless tetanus shot comment :)

Just got back from the paint shop. Spoke to the owner dude (he is the one I was recommended to go to and who I delt with). It seems he didn't do the painting himself, and outsourced it to one of his plebs. Showed him the fails, and he was suitably unimpressed (for the most part):

Filler panel: Agreed to fix it up.

Black strip on front bar: Didn't think that had even been painted. I pointed out it must have been since it used to be gloss black. Argument accepted, said he didn't realise the painter had painted that bit. Agreed to repaint it the right colour. Also agreeed to fix up the cracks/dents/scratches first.

Vents - said they didn't fit properly, and that was the best he could do. Agreed to try to fix them up but didn't think they would come out any better.

Funny white stripe at the end - said they didn't paint that bit, it must have already been like that. Can't really argue; I'm not certain it wasn't.

He wasn't willing to repaint the entire grey section of the bumper, said I would have to pay the difference between what they originally did (repair of the corner and blend paint) and the cost of the full spray. Since he won't guarantee the fitting of the vents, and since I'm not keen to hand over any more money to him, I decided to pass on that.

So, I've got to leave the car with him tomorrow, and he's going to fix up all those things.

For the bumper, I'll probably have to refit the vents myself (or get someone competent to do it) and then I'll get the grey section repainted by someone else...

Not a perfect outcome, but about as good as I hoped for

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
