Been running it on united 100 since i've been back, its the same price in Qld as 91 octane is in Tas haha

It's been pulling to the left since i nudged a kerb pretty hard even after a wheel alignment or two

and has a rattle over uneven road that i swore was sway bar links but its still there even (but quieter now) after the new whiteline links

so i took it into Pedders today for a $14 check

rack bushes and caster bushes are soft apparently and thats it

so will go for some adjustable caster bushes and nolathane rack bushes

other than that, the front sway bar is going pretty well, rear bar may be on order soon

found a seller in the us who can do it for around $220 delivered: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370691983118?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_6027wt_1055

took the stagea out yesterday damn have i missed driving it, going to retune it to put it on bp ultimate though

Moving from E85 to BP Ultimate - why?

Lots.

Needs more info.

I fixed my coolant leak, and refitted the strut brace. Car is f**king awesome.

Dropped past Autobarn to pick up the rest of what I needed for the radiator install - coolant, distilled water, a drip tray, fan controller, adaptor for the BSP fitting, and a couple of hose clamps.

Headed home and started to fit the fan controller before I realised it was a POS. Cables are retardedly short, and the BSP temp sensor fell apart. Returning tomorrow.

Also pulled the front bar off, and the lights out to fit the LED parkers I've had lying around for ages. Found it was easier to spend 2 minutes pulling the bar off to replace the parkers than spend 20 minutes trying to dick around in the front wheel well. Looks pretty awesome.

where i live there is no e85 its totally outa my way considering we use the car everyday

Good reason, but begs the question why you set it up on E85 in the first place...? I bet you spent too much time talking to Scotty, lol.

There is a United on Princess just near your place apparently, otherwise it's just down the road in Springvale, or Blackburn road... Sounds like excuses to me. lol.

Threw a new pair of rear tyres on mine today; the new turbo definitely sorts out treadwear...

I know your fastidious, but if you haven't had a good alignment lately, might be worth checking one out.

I had a shed load of rear toe in, and it has worn my rears quite significantly compared to the fronts. Swapped them to the fronts to try and get some more milage post alignment.

Lol, by the time I saw how much wear there was on the rears, it wasn't worth rotating them.

I've got a set of SPC toe & caster eccentric bolt kits to go in, but haven't had time to fit them...

Might need to book a slot at the Nismo bro Stagea workshop to get up on the hoist with a die grinder.

Once they're in, I can set toe & camber to somewhere slightly more neutral.

I have a set here too but i'm too scared to wreck the subframe. (even though I have a spare here.) Make Craig take pics like the bi*ch he is.

I did mine with an Ozito replica dremel lying under the car on the floor of my driveway. :O

A hoist is a great idea, let me tell you.

What's your worry?

You're only elongating tue slotted holes that already exist. A man of your skills should be able to sort that.

If you don't like them you can always refit the OEM stuff.

Spoolin - ive got a bit of a bone to pick with you over those RSR springs.. they squeek like f**k and make noises daily and you charged me more for these crappy second hand springs than they even were new from import monster with shipping...

again.. watch out for dodgy f**ks on here.. selling you shit thats simply not worth it.

Did you wrap the top and bottoms with coil tape? This is to stop squeaking springs you know...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
