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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
