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

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      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.

      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.
