Wow that's interesting, thanks.

You're saying LC2 is just powerbraking, are you sure? (sounds like it!)

Yep, It's friction loading of the wet clutch which produces a similar result to power braking a conventional auto.

As for all this talk about the bores, I dont think it will turn out to be an issue. Besides you cannot simply "re-coat" them. The machines that apply the coating require the motor to be placed on a special jig (i.e. removed from the car). On top of this you would need to remove all the block peripherals as a sucessfull coat requires the entire block to be pre-heated. All of this needs to happen in a clean room to prevent imperfections etc.

Considering the cost of the setup and it's complexity I sincerely doubt dealerships would have this capability or that Nissan planned for the bore lining to be replaced.

If anything should happen and they do fail (perhaps due to aftermarket tuning etc.) Darton sleeves might end up being a better replacement option. I think the Haltech guys were looking at following this path.

from what i know about this coating.....I have a feeling that its the same as what they use on motorcycles....its quite tough....but we have taken apart a number of bikes with long klms (i say long klms as 100,000klms plus on a sportsbike is considered quite high)and guess what....there usually shagged

True, but the GTR's engine doesn't rev to 16000 rpm like a motorbike's engine....

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
