So Bilstein's and Nismo's IN!

Most of you can probably see the error. If it wasn't for that error I would have had the shocks and springs in about 4 hours with hand tools, without counting the separate days I did to compress the old springs out of the Bilsteins. But all up 7 hours :(.

All good mate; it's not a race to see who works the fastest, I'd rather see a job done RIGHT than a job done fast and WRONG.

I've been telling apprentices this for years.

Good to see you had a go yourself. How does it ride now?

Welcome to the nismo/bilstien club!!

They got better when they settled in I thought, I've had mine second hand from Craig for about a year now and still happy with them.. The rear springs where sqweaking but wd40 fixed that ;)

Picked this up today! $30 for Gold Coast, hopefully have it installed tomorrow

Why don't you get it ceramic coated before installation, to stop it degrading any further?

Mmm where / who in sunny coast would do that? And what's that normally cost?

I'm not sure about Sunny coast, but check locally for companies doing performance coatings.

Id expect it to be in the $200-$300 mark for a heat insulating black ceramic. The chrome finishes are more expensive, because of the extra steps in producing the shiny finish.

It's a none oiled filter! Same one I ran in my vl, it's actually the same filter as a vl. Rang a shop that does ceramic coating! Gonna to see them, $150 to $200 but he doesn't know If he can have it done by next week! Wheel alignment has made a huge difference! Actually have to put the brakes on at lights to stop it rolling

You're smashing through the jobs on this poohkies!

I'd definitely recommend getting it done; once coated it'll last bloody ages longer than just raw galvanised.

I might have to get the thermal gun out & do some comparative temp measurements on my coated components versus non-coated components.

Or alternatively...... you could spend a few minutes making up another front chassis brace.

Just sayin' :P

      Stupid HICAS Question?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      You won't make it out of your driveway. Both your rear wheels will go in whichever direction they feel. Your Hicas rack or a lockout bar is required to keep your wheels straight.

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4

      Wastegate Boost Reference For Twin Turbo Rb26 Using Dual Port Gates

      Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?

      Stupid HICAS Question?

      By JeffWithaJ · Posted

      Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
