Sounds like you have been listening to Scott a bit too much there Aaron!

nah i took my car there for a quote when i blew the turbo.

just for labour to take the turbo out, they quoted $2k. I got the turbo out and in for $700 with another mechanic.

I didnt even wanna know what they wouldve charged for the hiflow.

:( They did my turbo.

Removed/installed and organised AXT to rebuild mine (although a bit of consultation as to what I wanted would have been nice) for under $2k, but that was around 3 years ago

Aaah, if I knew then what I know now.....

2K.. nice... i cant remember how much mine cost. im pretty sure more coz of the BB conversion.

yeh i got ATP to do mine. Kyp hiflowed n converted it to Ball Bearing he is a bit of a screw loose but hes on the ball n explains everything in full.

I wonder if anmy other M35's on the forum have done a BB conversion.. must say i like the sound lol.. but so do cops :(

Yeah, Kyp is definitely a character. "BB Conversion"? Since the stockie is BB I am a bit lost on how it is "converted" to BB...

Local? Depends what you call local. To interstaters I would be :down: I am about 40-45mins SE from you (Nyora), but I'll be up that way tonight briefly.

Trouble is, most of the other U.S. package services are highway robbery to use...

      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.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
