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

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.

      Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Spearzy999 · Posted

      Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.

      I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?

      Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
