Yeah, gizmo seem to be the go. i ran one of their dual stage shift lights on my bike, easy to set up and worked perfectly.

currently trying to get a stagea wiring diagram so i can fit it up in the car. comes in very handy when the red mist decends and all brain function goes out the window

yeah want to get a wiring diagram for a series one if ya happen to come across one along ya travels, already got pin outs for comp not looking forward to wiring in the emanage looks like a pain

I got to pull off all the sensors off my car one by one to try to replicate the same problem. Luckily this did not trip the check engine light so that it stayed on. :cheers:

At the end of the day we finished with a celebration when the car started ...:banana:

Is this post OK by you CHUCKIE?

was great when you rang me to tell me the news, i was almost pissed off when you said there was no good news lol

Nah.. split the beers to have tonight.. lol

well there was no good news... just bloody fantastic news.

It was quite funny, as Craig's whole family was there when we tried to start it. Turned over a few times and eventually fired. :cheers:

how much have you spent now ?

im actually considering selling mine now. as i cant drive it for work..and its becoming an endless money pit i cant see the end of. turbo highflow and plenum spacer is my limit. then i might sell mine mid next year. (oh and 280nismo cluster)

300zx wagons arent the choice of cars to mod imo. (m35s)

if you disagree .. talk to craig .. lol

or scottys mrs.. lol

.

i dont know, i lost count when I bought the car!

Yeh I think after I tune it, the only money ill be spending on it would be fuel n maintanence. but i know what you mean about the endless money pit. But to me its a hobby so I guess I dont mind the amount I spend on it, if it makes it better!

if your selling your cluster GIVE ME FIRST DIBS!!!!<< Capitals just for chuckie

I hope you're joking :unsure: Chris is a great honest bloke. Bought my rims from him, he was upfront about every single scratch & mark; EVERYTHING.

It's not the springs squeaking, they're just bits of curly steel. More likely to be squeaking bushes.

Silly question; were the control arms & wishbones all loosened, bushes de-stressed (by prying the mounts a little) and then re-torqued at your new ride height?

If not, all the bushes will be twisted up as you've dropped the ride height, but not released the tension, as the steel sleeve moulded into the centre of the bush is clamped in the mount points and the outer sleeve is pressed into the arm. You will eventually tear the sleeve out of the centre of every bush, and the car will feel like a POS to drive because every bush point will be sloppy.

Cheers, Dale.

got my wal-brooooooo 255lph in today thanks to Scott! shaved off the little legs on the pump n squeezed it shut with a vice clamp. i tell you what. that shits not going anywhere.

also fixed up my rear sway bar link, but came to find that they've been upgraded so they're now a lot thicker and stronger. i guess ill need to replace the other one soon :) $30 is pretty good considering their meant to be stronger than the adjustable ones. i shouldve taken a pic.

SHOULD RENAME THIS THREAD,

TOOLTIME

Hilarious!:worship:

Maybe we should call it "Everyone has to do exactly what Chuckie says, Except for Chuckie" thread. Such hipocrisy from the man who demanded no chat, just facts, yet more useless chat...

Might as well, you ruined the last one, why not use your razor wit to to spoil this one too :rolleyes: .

BACK ON TOPIC, pulled wheels off & cleaned out a heap of mud from my rear rims, now my wheels are back in balance :thumbsup:

Happy New Year Stageaers!

Spot on.

Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions and point fingers

    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info 
    • It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings. 
    • Great discussion guys. I just have coil overs in my car right now. Ride is pretty stiff and everything feels very precise and accurate when hitting the corners. I started off with a high level and kept specimen.   the only item I feel I might need to adjust is my camber with control arms or a kit as I might want to tuck in my rims more so there is no rubbing. Otherwise I have not thought too much into it as quite happy with the setup. I think the bushings are all good still.    My motor is currently out now but I have got a nismo front strut bar to install. So that should help with body roll in front.    added a photo of what I started with before the modding or let’s say modernization of parts started. 😂
    • Thank you both, much appreciated. Yes, 6k miles, not a typo lol. The underside, engine bay, engine, trunk, interior, etc., look great and super clean, has all the splash guards too. Not sure if you can expand the photos, but the dash pic shows the ODO. She looks brand new, inside and out, even has the original Nissan TV/DVD/Nav head unit; still thinks it's in Tokyo haha! I used to own a '94 MKIV Supra, sadly sold it years ago, but wow I love the Skyline so much! The R34 gets SO much attention here since they just became legal to import last year.
