hello all.

the names johnny but i dont mind if you call me by my display name because thats my nickname.

anyways a little bit about myself i live on the mornington peninsula in Victoria. i just turned 21 and waiting to get my full license in August.

work: i work in a night club on the weekends trying to earn some coin while im still studying

school: im currently studying graphic design 1st year diploma.

current car: 1997 lancer ce coupe nothing special just something to get me from A to B only thing decent in the car would be the stereo full pioneer system splits in the doors 6x9's in the rears and two 12 inch subbies in the boot. i love my music cant live a day without it.

i thought it was about time that i became a registered member of this site. i have spent a few years on here having a look here and there getting ideas on how to modify skylines and basically keeping upto date with whats new in the skyline world.

in August i hope to buy my self a second car which may be a skyline r33 series 2 black or midnight purple with or without a sunroof or a skyline r34 GTT black or bayside blue with or without a sunroof and then using the car as a base build it up from the ground up into my preferred vision of what the car should look like.

im an avid fan of the friday night cruises in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. i've seen some skyline groups driving around some friday nights. im usually there buy aat the moment work is more important then leisure because i need the coin.

anyways theres a little bit about myself. i hope to be making new friends here and meeting new people and thank you for accepting me into your community.

cheers.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
