Does that mean the rear weight of the car is now on the 2 small bolts holding the original shock in place? Assuming the spring is no longer in it's perch

Correct. I've been running MCA Street Performance Series coilovers in my M35 since March and honestly cannot fault them. I've also had a full car load of passengers as well as a loaded boot and they held up perfectly fine. MCA are a company I wouldn't doubt in the least.

So after about 2 years at 297ATW KW I need more. dropped my 260RS of at Maatouks Racing last Thursday, motor should be out by Wednesday this week to get a full build done. Not sure what will be done yet until the block & crank are inspected but either way 650KW ATW should be happening in about 6-8 weeks. Going back down this week to pick up the car without the motor so I can tidy up a few things while it easy to get in & under the front end. The boys were impressed with how clean & straight the old Stagea is so I'm sure they'll look after it, as soon as I get more info & they start the work I'll post update & picks. Wish me luck...

Still waiting they had a few things come up like responding to JUN2 beating their 1/4 mile time   I don’t want to rush them as it’s not easy to get work done on a Stagea by a GTR specialist  plus the wife has a M135i BMW (278KW) & I  have a Harley & a BMW sports tourer as well.

Finally got around to installing my 4G wireless router. Bought this for ease of use with the Raspberry Pi rather than hot-spotting off my phone each time. It's mounted in the passenger-side cubby and power tapped off the stock Japanese tuner. It automatically turns off with accessories. The car switch for the Raspberry Pi has stopped working though... Contacted the vendor but might have to buy another one.

Also setup the OB Link. Works perfectly. Does everything I want except trans temp.

OK so its started Fully forged RB30 1000HP bottom is being machined & built & my RB26 head is also being machined & upgraded, soon for all the new parts to be ordered. The crank decided the direction I headed - see uploaded image & find the fault :) Anthony Maatouk has come up with just what I wanted a bullet proof forged motor...

Bought mine another battery, it was fine on Friday but dead today. It hardly moves since we got the Leaf, and the battery was churning out a massive 0.03V this morning when I checked it. Not ideal considering I'm off on a 600km business trip on Friday.

I think one of the bonnet hinges has collapsed as the bonnet is catching on the left-side quarter panel when I open it, takes quite an effort to get past the point of resistance but eventually it goes "BANG!" and everything moves freely again. :P The tip of the quarter panel is rusting now after all the rubbing but meh, it's just the beater these days. One day maybe I'll show it some love. Maybe.

OB link looks nice. What are you using the Pi + 4G for?

Update: SOMEONE (not giving anything away but you can bet she's going to cook me some eggs*) left the dome light on, hence the drained battery.

 

*NZ in-joke.

Not much really. Mainly streaming music. Quite often it'll be on the Monstercat radio stream via Twitch or stuff from my YouTube subscriptions which are automatically downloaded using youtube-dl. It also has RetroPie installed with a heap of ROMs and an 8BitDo SNES Bluetooth controller. 4G is just for convenience.

Maatouks are picking everything based on the power & reliability I asked for so apparently a Precision but I don’t know what one yet. As soon as I get the specs & parts list I’ll post it. 

Got rid of the HKS pods and went back to a standard airbox, but since I run a MAP sensor , no AFM. Haltech ECU instead of standard and FCON PRO, Had new Longer BC inserts put in the front suspension to raise the car off the ground. Just waiting for a MOMO Factory wheel to turn up. All fluids changed, new battery. New radio,new tyres. New cam belt and water pump and new secondhand heater box, and fix sundry leaks

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
