Most shops are not specialists in 31's or 13's. SOooooooooooo Chances are you'll pass easily.

You boys hsould just get a mobile roady guy to do it for you. They care not for such discrepancies

R31 tie rod ends into S13 spindles looks spectacularly dodgy. You either have a castle nut with no split pin in it, or an upside down caslte nut, either way you don't get many threads on it. Thats the sort of thing I would expect to fail a RWC, but hey, I may be wrong :banana:

be careful where you say that... that's enough to be stripped of your 31 club membership :P

Not if he re-uses oil and a filter from his GTR or something

Anyone who's not working/busy on Thursday and wants to come on this drive:

let me or Jason know. We'll be leaving from the BP at Aspley at 9am.

hmmm... might take a 'strayen day...

GTR filter didnt fit :P Had to use an old one of dads...

Yeah tie rods will look dodge. I'll see if I can find a rubber cover for the castle nut lol

looks like a decent drive, but I will have to sort out my camber a bit before i do any fun runs, as the tyres scrub lightly on hard corners.

Man up. My tires scrub heavily on light corners, doesn't stop me :P

so do mine. I usually just steer with the back end instead.

The noise drives me nuts though.

And having 225's on 10 inch rims, I really don't have much confidence in the tyres staying on the rim if I corner particularily hard

I might get some gtr guards though, so will be able to put decent sized rubber on the fronts

ps. still got the flu, so another day of ps3. got god of war last night, so will give that a workout. just gotta summon up the energy to go for a bourbon run...

skip the boring highway bit...

Go from Aspley up through Petrie, head to Dayboro and then over Mt Mee...

This will bring you out at Woodford...

This way you skip all the boring highway bits and Mt Mee is an awesome ride/drive...

As from Woodforf the rest is good stuff, out to Kilcoy down the back of sommerset and over Mt Glo & Nebo and home...

Looks like my average northside Sunday ride...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
