Got rear ended = broken rear bumper (again! :cool: ) & now the exhaust also has multiple leaks & most of the support clip things all got knocked off & middle section of the pipe is just dangling around & scraping on every bump I come across.

Still waiting in queue to get it fixed, gonna be waiting for ages due to panel shops being flooded with hail damaged cars...

Belts all makes an annoy whining sound when cold & power steering is making annoy whining sound too when I do a full lock turn at low speed.

Holes in exhaust

Couple of dents here and there

Choke pull off not working (sluggish in mornings/cold)

Rust under boot rubber, front drivers side wheel arch and under battery.

Clutch pedal clicks 80% of time.

Loud Diff whine

Need new tyres.

thats all i can think of so far

first thing in morning on random occasions clutch/gearbox whines when i push the clutch in :down: stops after a minute or so...

4th gear grinds every now and then (random occurrence to)

evc-s restarts if i leave my ipod/iphone plugged into deck :)

Squeaky clutch :laugh:

Couple of small paint chips that were rusted when I bought it, hasn't spread & I've been too lazy to get them fixed up

First->Second gear crunches a bit below 2700rpm changes

Car isn't idling smoothly... revs are constant but it loses consistency every 5-10 seconds for a quick moment then returns to normal. I assume that's a sparkplug issue or something (not very mechanically minded)

2 years after buying it I still haven't bothered putting in an adapter or new head unit that would allow me to pick up Australian radio stations :thumbsup:

One of my nismo rim caps still needs painting before being put on

What's wrong with mine? Hmmm...

After spending obscene amounts of money over 6 years on it, I sold it for 1/5th of the price only to have the new owner crash/write it off 3 months later. *Sad in pants*

you're yet to see what it's become :P

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • 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.
