Ive heard Northshore do one of the cleanest compliance jobs, unfortunately mine wasn't done by them. Cam, I have worked out it was the silicone blocking the drain lip that caused the water ingress, al

the BCs will give you the best adjustment IMO. thats for any M35.

also for cost and comfort and adjustablity and build quality. they win on all of those items

+1 for BC's :thumbsup:

How are you finding yours with all the new bits mate?

Had this on another car. once the dust covers are torn, its pretty much curtains for the shocks cause the dust gets in, and wrecks the seals quickly (thats if you don't change them). Same as CV boots really. You have to replace a torn one quick.

Sounds like a good excuse to get some BC's!

Another +1 for the BCs guys. Been in 6 months and no probs.

I do a fair bit of long distance driving with a load in the back. I just wind up the firmness and it stops the back wallowing around.

Also took a little while to get the ride height spot on, scraped on everything to start with but just right now.

Does anyone on here run Teins with the EDFC?

I know BCs are highly recommended, and thats what I was going to get once I got the car, but a really clean car has come up with the Tein system. A bit more expensive but Im trying to work out if its worth it to get the Tein setup.

Otherwise Ill just buy a cheaper car and put BCs on it, Ive read enough on these forums to know thats the best solution for an M35.

Why not go drive it?

You'll know straight away if you like the ride quality, if the car's as clean as you say, it may well be worth the extra spend.

I'm going to go drive it, but I can't drive a standard or BC fitted car for comparison. For all I know the BC setup will be just as good, and the EDFC will just be a gimmick, which is why I was asking if anyone else had tried it out.

IMO Tein will give a better ride than BC all day long, obviously depending on the model.

I'm most likely going to go the BC route just for money factor, but if I had the choice i'd be going Silkroad or Koni.

I was just wondering if any one is interested in BC BR group buy? That's if the group buy option works with whoever supplies BC in Australia...

I contacted Just Jap (spoke with Tony) who are the only authorised importer ATM. They don't want to get involved with a group buy for a few reasons, but mainly because the range is very well priced (which I tend to think as well) and I reckon they'd rather look after their distributors.

Tony then indicated that maybe their distributor in Melb (Jap Wharehouse) might be interested.

Jap Wharehouse doesn't have any pricing on their website so I gave them a call to ask (spoke with Kenz) and sure enough they are happy to look after a group buy as long as the pricing isn't posted publicly (ie here). Also, to make it worthwhile they can't ship each set to a different location (unless we get maybe 10 people interested, then they might) so it would probably have to be that all sets for Sydney go to one place, and likewise Brissy etc. Maybe Melbourne buyers could pick theirs up from Jap warehouse directly or, again, all go to a central location. When I say "all". it's probably only going to be 2 or 3 sets at most to each spot.

So someone may have to receive all the sets for their city and then co-ordinate distribution. That may work out OK if there was a meet arranged and the others attended. Anyone in the country (ie me) may have to pay a little extra to get it shipped directly, pick up from closest capital city or hope that there is enough people interested to get the same free shipping deal that you get with full price.

Since I am in the market for a set, I suppose I can gather interested parties names and them PM everyone with details. Please bear in mind that due to the already keen pricing the discount is not going to be huge.

Oh, and if you want anything different in the way of spring rates etc, they will need to know before hand. If you want more than a couple of kg's change to standard they will have the shocks revalved at the factory to suit.

Fantastic... Count me in... I could also be a pick-up point for SA as I live just 5 min. from Adelaide... Or could drop it off around metropolitan area as I usually do a lot of drivearound.

Cheers for organising the whole thing. PM me...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
