Spotted Trozzle's car parked on the road out the front of Gentech in mitchell yesterday arvo

Yerp, was getting engineer's certificate at Canberra Motor Works. Unfortunately didn't get it due to a few things (one of which is worrying lol), however shouldn't be hard to fix up. Unfortunately I foresee having to cancel the rego on my car before the lack of defect clearance does it.

Something to do with the diff/cradle mounts is allowing the whole diff to move up/down around 10mm

Yeah you're right.. just a little worrying :/

Spotted Troy and Richard hugging each other as the sun went down over the lake. They looked to be eating takeaway.

Hope you boys had fun

Cheers Josh!

Yours had a nice tune when it took off as well

I spotted a r31 parked outside of Pedders in Phillip as I dropped my car off for an inspection

Spoke to the guy who owns it about his Rims dont know if his online here

Also spotted a Silver 33 cruising around Phillip.

Then Josh rocked up for a surprise visit just after I talked to Natrad about my constant coolant problems

Pedders bad :down:

Rear calipers installed on wrong side and upside down. Pads on wrong way in calipers.

All new suspension installed but not adjusted. Camber out, toe out, F/R balance alignement out.

Bled in wrong order, air in brake system. Did not and would not blead ABS - WTF.

3 x returned for fixing - no luck and they had no idea.

Sir your brand new Rotors/Calipers/Pads/braided brake lines/BMC have no problems. Your car just does not stop very well and its got very spongey brakes. You should look on the internet and see what you can do to fix that !!!!!

Yes I went back and told them what was wrong and that I had paid again to have it done.

1 minute at ACT brakes - your calipers are on upside down and wrong side sir. Fixed. Felt alot better.

But these guys didnt notice pads installed correctly. Went back twice more. Sir there is nothing more we can do !!

Both of the above shops have "Brake Specialists" in their business name.

ESP identified and resolved all brake issues :thumbsup: and bled the ABS as per what you are supposed to do !

Capital steering and suspension for dialing in suspension :thumbsup: . Booked in Wednesday.

I should go get the spare key to my car and go steal it back haha?

Okay well there goes $14 for the inspection lets see what they come up with that's wrong with my car

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
