Shouldn't need replacing. They're brand new ISC N1s. Well according to Ryan hand tightening the bolts isn't enough and a rattle gun needs to be used.

ahh well i doubt theres a problem with the shockers then, its probably like matty said, maybe your new kick bottom suspension has hastened the demise of the old joints... but then again

<--- not a mechanic

maybe make a set of handlebars and a foot rest so u can use ur new n1's as adjustable pogo sticks...

You tell me Chad.

Pillow ball like the ones in my Stagea. I wish mine were rubber tops like my skyline, its so much smoother on the road.

My stagea has no front bump stops and it was so low that when i hit a bump it would bottom out the shocks, maybe that could be your problem?

I got a leaking bush in the right.. But not in the left. Also I don't see what a rattle gun is going to do compared to hand tightening the f**k outta it. Hmmm. I'm going to have to go down to Pedders tomorrow and see what they think.

But I don't think that I'm hitting anything because its too low (because it only started doing it this morning). There is endless possibilities. But I'm leaning away from the coilover being faulty.

I hope

Sorry Matty didn't see your post. You reckon its ball joints? Should I get them done like.. ASAP or would I be able to drive till I got the spare cash to fix em?

s'alright mate. first thing ive learnt to check from every 31 with coils ive been in thats clunked. always seems to be the ball joints that are f**ked (or in your case a bush thats f**ked)

get them replaced with some genuine ones and you'll be sweet as. amazing how much stress and strain coils put on the rest of the suspension components

hmmm, forgot to factor that into my build...........new bushes all through the car. crap. there goes more cash :P

South Australia delivers again!!

Hell yeah, good idea, lets rebuild Adelaide oval even tho we have AAMI stadium.

lets do it to make sadelaide look appealing to our interstate neighbors!!

why waste the f*kin money? srsly.

all this and its to much to ask, for a simple 1/4 mile peice of flat fkn bitumen.

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
