Haven't been up there for 5 years myself, so I don't know.

Western boat ramp is open, on the Nerang Murwillumbah Road.

Natural Bridge is down that way. Not sure what the road surface is like.

Anyhow, make up your own minds.

super street $ 2200

racing logic $ 1700

buddy club $ 1100

all have the same amount of adjustments an same build qaulity..

I got mine for around 1500AUD delivered from japan. After researching the difference between the jap spec and aus spec one, I concluded that its not worth that extra 1000 (quote by fulcrum around 2.5k) for revalving simply because you cant really feel that much of a difference. In any case, a lot of jap spec ones are around the 2k mark locally too which I think its a very heavy mark up by distributors here.

Also another thing worth noting is, I've read somewhere that ONLY Teins are legal when it comes to aftermarket suspension in Australia. If thats true, I wouldnt mind paying that extra 400 for it. Aus or Jap spec doesnt really matter because they're all green visually (if you know what I mean).

Who did you get them through if you don't mind me asking?

have you screwed some more damper in yet...?

Fixed at 14 front and rear. 28turns in total and at the softest, its way better than stock but at the stiffest, its not anymore stiffer than stock.

and height?

That will be fixed next time I'm back from site. Probably drop another 10mm or 20mm from the front as the lowest point of my car would be the front pipe.

If your car is at 140 now, 20 will be safe at the front if you're scared of the speed bumps. You could go 40 at the rear though. My exhaust doesn't scrape at all and it's a hell of a lot lower than yours.

There hasnt been 1 yet I believe. Maybe try organizing 1 for next weekend or Friday night. I might be able to make it when I'm back from site. I'll probably be doing the major service on Sat and dont know how long it'll take.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      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
