Telstra farking wins. And s3 is a great phone. But is till love my blackberry. Hahaha

I was driving from work to springvale. Basically the monash from the tunnel to blackburn road. the whole time from burnley to blackburn. I had my left knee steering the wheel. Noodle box in one hand and chopsticks in the other. Finished it just before exiting fwy. Like a bawse.

Wow so many people are on bc br's. How much did you guise pay for them? And how do they go?

Oh btw. I has 4 discs nao :D. And red calipers. LOL. Red calipers wasn't my choice. Now to find time to put them in.

By the way. What's the deal with ball joints? Am I able to take the ones in my hubs atm and chuck it in the new hubs? Or will I have to go out and buy new ball joints? :/

im curious if i was driving down the rd and someone jumped out at me and i swerved to avoid killing them and rid off my car would he/she be liable or id just have to cop it for being sane?

Youd get the barriers in your ass and you'd enjoy it coz your a top bloke.

Red calipers +10kWasps brah ;)

My bc br's treating me pretty good thus far I think - I still need to figure out my ideal dampening settings (currently may be a bit too bouncy + some pesky speedbumps at uni cause rear to scrape unless I crawl over) and need to get it aligned again, but besides that I can't really complain about anything, so far so good?

That could be your spring rate adjustment

That could be your spring rate adjustment

to fix adjust preload or something? didn't want to mess with preload and stuff too much, looked okay as is when i put them in. but will have a looksee if messing with dampening settings isn't good enough, cheers brah :)

Yeh your need to adjust the spring rate, having loose springs will cause it to bounce around. Dampening is more so the ridgidity of the shock

Looks like your ready to do some track work brah

coming from the guy that likes his bulggagi touched by his asian lover boy and kidnaps little white girls

just pay for a higher excess and get quote online will prob be like 1000

Excess adjustment makes SFA difference to be honest, not worth raising the excess for.

Awaiting a email from Lumleys, which is underwritten by Wesfarmers which is joint company to Coles Myer apparently I can get staff discount, just need to invensgate further.

Let me know how you find the s3 I really want one but can't afford atm

ERs have the external oil res yeah? is that what's hitting? weird I never had any issues with my BC BRs with 18x10 +15s and 265s on my GTR

yeah external res ones man

though the clearance with the resivour is like 5mm now so happy with that

I would say you should be able to, they should only be bolted or clamped to the strut

Seems to be strange if they were welded etc

they have only a tiny space of movement - i thought it would be possible to atleast turn the res around like 90 degrees or something just to make sure its out of the way.. but doesnt seem so :(

Locked away?! That makes me sad :P

On another note, since when GTR's are at least $2k a year to insure? What a complete joke.

lol it will be out much more now!

yeah i pay like 1.8K (1.6K if i pay all at once but i pay monthly) full comp with just car, never had a claim and im 27 so dont have the higher price people under 25 do.. prices are f**ked..

Good to know this thing will be out and about more often now!

Agreed on insurance prices being proper f**ked up, it was cheaper to insure a 33 GTR when I was 22 year old idiot, I'm 25 now and surely the premiums would be lower no?

Worst case, start looking at other cars that doesn't attract higher premium (domestic market or sedan) *shudder*

Lol my premium went from 1370 to 1970 with no claims at all. And also turned 25 in that time. Since its never driven adjusted the excess and I'm back to 1300

what!? really who with? never heard of it going up with any claims..did you modify your policy? add mods?

    • 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
