Is that figure per strut?

That was for the pair

Did you remove & check the ball ends on the body when the struts were out?

About 2 weeks after I had mine regassed I snapped one off.

Very annoying.

I didn't remove them, did look them over and they looked to be in good nick.

The strut guy actually refitted them to ensure they'd have sufficient force to hold the boot & raise it easily. Oddly enough, he'd done a few M35s and said that each of them had different pressure ratings on the struts, not vastly different - always north of 1000nm.

You won't see a potentially damaged one; they snap the threaded shaft about halfway down, leaving 10mm of thread in the car body. It can also scar the paint on the inside of the C pillar and roof edge if you're really unlucky. I was incredibly lucky not to damage the paint when mine broke.

Support the hatch, pop the struts off, and remove the ball ends. Check the threaded shank for cracking; and remove the rubber washers (if fitted).

If they're undamaged, you've only wasted 20 mins. It took me twice that to get the broken piece out of mine.

One of mine snapped and damaged the roof as I closed the rear door. The other side snapped as I undid it to replace the ball.

Ouch! Will check them out over the weekend then, good tip Scotty & Dale! :cheers:

Fitted a walbro today and gave her a service.

Also booked it in to finally get the adaptronic and tune done. 25th of august can't come soon enough

Did you run the relay and fuse back to the battery mate?

I didn't really proof read my question...just to clarify, I meant are your struts 1200nm per strut?

Love Bluetooth in the car. CCS did the work?

Thinking about using them for a new alarm; they seem very thorough.

Yep, I did go through CCS - they're not far from home for me either, which helps!

well fitted the Cusco brake stopper on the 260rs and it really improved the braking response. Definitely best mod and easiest for improving brakes!

Have you done brake lines as we'll? Very interested in doing this

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
