Nah it turns too well. It is very twitchy up front. That and it bounces over the road with all the uneven surfaces in the mountains.

Sounds like it could have some epic toe out

think i might have to cut down my drinking.....

nnnaaaaahhhhh

It wouldn't suprise me if it did. I'm getting more circlip grooves machined into the bilsteins so I'll be able to lower to rear more once the suspension is in ill get a wheel allignment done.

dude its a 31 - lower it with an angle grinder

I was going to and I had everything ready to go on Sunday but when I got the springs off I found that they had the same circlip height adjustment as the GTR so I may aswell get it done properly. Saves it handling like a piece of shit and destroying decent shocks.

So the 31 has number plates now. I drove it home through the mountains

YES YES YES YES

Same as before. It doesnt go off the scale it just stays at like 3/4

just a thought - what about picking up an aftermarket water temp guage??

when my 180 decided to spit out its heater hoses at a track day my water guage jumped to 110degrees - whereas my guage on the dash was at like 3/4 - surely it should have been maxing out :down:

Oh is that all? That's only...90? that's no biggie :) just pretend it's not lying :down:

and is that running coolant or water to get so hot you can smell it?

On a 31 3/4 could mean anything from 45deg to 245deg :down:

Bah Colin DID get his licence back before i got my car back :( ha ha

Don't worry, he'll lose it again before you get your car back too :)

will be getting some gauges for eventually. I dont trust the standard ones at all.

Combination of both really.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
