Fuchs oil saved the day! only damage was bigend bearing #1 started to come apart, but it didn't spin, and didn't mark the crank. So all I need to do is replace the bearings and it's good to go

Are those bushes one piece or two? I've been using bushes similar to the link below for around 8 years will no issues. My car isn't a track car, but is driven reasonably hard at times...

The current ones are 2 piece, but i've also killed a set of single piece ones. they are the softest part on the front suspension, so it's understandable that they are the first to fail under circuit loads

My 20 cents worth;

A GTR (4wd) front swaybar won't fit a GTST (2wd).

I was looking back through this for some info, and I came across this. Fun fact, a GT-R swaybar does fit on a Gtst. I don't run one, but I recently fitted one up to another Gtst.

Beauty, i've been looking for a while for confirmation on this.

Did you end up going for speedflow fittings on the cooler or go full braid?

I'll keep on with the pushlock fittings, but i'll replace the sus one with a speedflow one. I'm still waiting for my bearings to arrive, they are made in Launceston by ACL, shipped to the mainland, then bought back.

I've been working on the car but forgetting to update the thread, the car is currently on jack stands with the engine out. I just sent the shocks off for a revalve, and I shoudl have the engine back together this weekend.

Well I have finally got my engine back together. just waiting on getting the flywheel buzzed, and it can go back in the car.

Shocks are back from being re-valved, and are back in the car.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
