Apparently my car needs some stuff done for clear roadworthy in order to clear the defect notice...

1. Caster bushes - well I think they're it...the guy thought they were lower control arm bushes then changed his mind later LOL...so where's the best place to get them from? Or did I just miss out Ryan's groupbuy?

2. drive shaft - both left and right - right shaft boot is half gone, left shaft is making lots of noises. He said he'll get them done at a drive shaft shop? what's a reasonable price for this sort of stuff?

3. rear tyres - I had new Ku31's fitted in June 2011...and now he reckons they need to be replaced?! Well, he reckons they are "borderline"...there's a bit of camber wear on them but not THAT bad....hmmm

anyway see pic for the bush in question...

I have one spare set....the guy that wanted em never replied.

So if you need em PM me but they will not be at Ryan's price.......retail + shipping....cannot do mates rates as I don't own them.

oh....unless you want to do a swap of caster arms......then I can do them at the the same price as I change everyone else fitted and you just pay for shipping to and fro!

If they can get the offset caster version, I'd be getting that one. thumbsup.gif

The difference in the way the car will handle absolutely beggars belief. Say goodbye to understeer in all but the most extreme conditions.

If your rear tyres are above the treadwear markers; they shouldn't be able to query it.

I'm not sure if the old "tread across70% of the tyre"rule still applies; that's how semi slick tyres with untreaded shoulders normally get through.

yeah they are above the treadwear markers...maybe its the camber wear/shoulders they're picking on? I dunno...

too late, got the standard replacement...when I see "adjustable" it = chances to fk things up...LOL

Ah well, hopefully it's not too much of a problem.

Lol, yeah; I know what you mean, they'll still be better than the worn out OEM ones, so that's a win.thumbsup.gif

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
