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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
