Pretty sure my front left ball joint is buggered. Going to get it fixed when my new Jenesis coilovers go in. Does anyone know where to buy the non genuine front lower control arms from, or just a part # would be great.

Thanks,

J, just walk into any reputable parts store up there like Auto One, or Auto Pro, or maybe Repco and tell them you want the Taiwanese R30 copy lower control arm and it should cost you about $70.00 each, give or take.

You could call

Mekong Auto Spares

42 Canley Vale Rd, CANLEY VALE, NSW

phone: (02) 97240691

And I'm sure they will help you out and post them to you if you cant get them locally, or worst case scenario, drop me a line and I'll buy them & ship them to you.

Cheers, D

What a croc of shit, Poly bushes are a pain in the ass unless you like pulling your suspension apart every couple of months.

J just stay with the lca's as they come.

Yes. Recently my manual got the rattles and was loose nuts, R30 not mine, and a bolt missing.Didn't loctite but will go do that now.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
