Last weekend, my mate installed the BC BR coilovers on my ARX. Using out of the box height and dampening settings (for now).  Pulled out the Nismo springs which I'll put up for sale later on.

Put her in for a safety certificate as she is currently being sold. (Sad couple of weeks ahead). Also need to replace roof lining and install the Greddy Profec B II i have sitting in garage for new owner.

Put on another rear wing.

The silver one was a bit short for my liking.

This one came 1350mm long which I cut down on my drop saw to 1220mm.

Gonna spray my mirrors black too.

Now I can carry sheet material on my roof :happy:

no mate, they're off ebay

just relocated the mounts to suit the hatch, bolted through into the drain void.

filled and touched up the holes in the wing, underneath and so close to the roof you can't see them

mounted with sikaflexed rubber pads

Replaced Greddy IGN chip with another one and hey it works, no CEL.

Had Jez replace my rocker gaskets, and while it was apart replaced my injectors.

I had 570cc "Denso Australia" reman injectors, and had terrible starts and poor fuel consumption. 360km to a tank./ 6km per litre.

These also had leak down.

Bought used R35 injectors and what a difference !

Car starts perfectly, economy way way better, 9km per litre, and my exhaust is 10db quieter.

I've been mucking around with silencers trying to get it under 100db with minimal restriction.

These shit injectors, give such bad atomization, hence why I was high risk of DET, causing loud exhaust tone.

Also don't have rough idle anymore, and that rasp in the rev range is almost gone completely.

Thanks Matt for the info.

wow, no CEL anymore!

Hmm where the hell do I start...

So I found these three split hoses, one of which seems to have been taped up at some point on both ends because they had splits,

And the other one that goes into the cam cover broke clean out... but that also looks like it had some sealant stuff holding it in there (not sure if that's how it came from the factory)

So the whole mission was just to get to the spark plugs and coils.. who the heck made this process so long.

Here's a photo of where the hose broke out of, looks like it kinda just slotted in there without any thing holding it in?

I finally got to the coils and spark plugs, the coils looked fine and the spark plugs as I've been told looks like they are well used. So I think I'll go and buy some new spark plugs tomorrow because why not lol.

After all that I still don't really know why I'm getting that rough idle/misfire.

I'll get those hoses replaced and new spark plugs, and if that doesn't clean up this problem then I suppose coils will be next. But then again I might even just buy coils to be safe.

And just a photo with the "import" monster drink haha

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
