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 rear spring seat is threaded for spring pre-load, and the damper also has a threaded base for height adjustment.

same as the front, but in seperate areas. works the same way though

Why thank you...

Mine came with Impul springs but with the Impul kit its super low and there is no way i will get through the ID check with it as it is...

Any idea what the cm drop from standard the impuls provide? I have a set of s-tune springs you could borrow if necessary, they drop the car 2cm from standard I think.

Low. Top of tyre to edge of guard is about 15-20mm max.

SA reg doesn't go on tyre to guard distance though does it? It goes on lowest point to ground?

Well they have a concrete block you have to drive over when over the pit at regency but I'm sure they would pull out the ruler if need be.

As for the ID check, they don't measure at all but if it looks too low they won't pass it and you will have to come back. No fine but just the hassle.

Its going to be a hassle either way. Isn't it less hassle to just present and fix it if it gets rejected?

Who did compliance? I thought anything that didn't meet ADRs had to be removed at compliance, hence all the good stuff usually got stripped?

Parts were removed for compliance and re fitted after.

Purchased the car through Chef, compliance work done by japlink.

I will prob go down and see how I go but like to be prepared as far as being able to swap what ever I need to get it through. May just go down the road of coilovers now, was going to be an eventual mod but would have preferred getting my 19's first :)

It's really up to the workshop when it comes to aftermarket parts, if they choose to put them back then it's a win for you. I had the benefit of knowing what was on the car before shipping so parts had to be put back.

yup i would guess about 30-40mm above standard and about 60-80mm below lol

i might be exaggerating that, but there is PLENTY of adjustment, front and rear

When I enquired with Just Jap they didnt believe they could get it to above stock height - they thought they could get JUST to stock height.. but no higher. They, apparently, asked the workshop next to them who fitted the BC's to their workshop/demo car and that was what they thought also. I are teh confused.

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      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.
