@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

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
