Fitted my front new coilovers today (rears to be fitted when my knuckles recover) and a cute little lip spoiler. Enjoy.

The super low pics are from initial install - obviously it is not like that anymore :( It now has a healthy 340mm wheel centre to guard legal gap to keep me off the speed humps and spoon drains

lol thanks mate me rikey your front height very much but we know your in your wiser years now and we both know leagal height is the way to go. are you going to keep your factory rims?? loving the much distinguished new ride you have mate. hopefully cruise with you or run into you at bp soon :D

Nah mate I am not keeping the stock rims (despite the fact I think they are among the sexiest stock rims on the planet), but am trying to decide between the rims below.

I trial fitted the GT-Cs on my car and are my dream rim, but they are expensive.

The LMGT4s on the 350Z and V35 are my current faves (the pics on the 350Z are 18" x 9.5 +20 which is my preferred offset).

The AME Circlars are long time fave rims (I used to have some without so much dish on my R34).

The AME's look dope. I'd go with them :(

trying to keep the cars spotted thread on topic so ;

it's not actually Dan.

The National average full time adult wage for 2009 based on a 38 hour week was just under $1300 pw in the private sector and just over that in the public sector.......that's about $34 per hour.

You Accountants would easily be doing that, lol

Not in IT its not. I'd love to know where u got those figures from, and whether those figures are skewed by including super. Median salary in IT is $50k pa fte, you're lucky to get anything over $65k pa fte unless you're a very high level programmer working in the defence sector. I'd love to get $50 per hour, but this excludes having an ABN and having to pay all the liabilities that come with self employment, income protection insurance, liability/indemnity insurance, life insurance/incapacitation insurance, superannuation, taxation, lodging bas statements etc etc. I was earning $55 per hr as a contractor under an ABN but when it came down to it, after the expenses and insurance it came down to around half that. Its ok if you've got a great accountant that can write off the majority of your personal expenses as a business expense, but even when I had a great accountant I still found myself paying extra for the hidden costs.

Or maybe I'm just in the wrong game. If I could get $50 ph at a full time rate (without being a self proprieter) I'd count myself as very lucky indeed. Worth considering changing professions too, provided it doesnt require a uni course.

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
