Lol. Here we go. Whore thread ahoy!

Sorry, didnt mean to start anything, was the first thing that came to my mind. Must get out of the gutter lol.

Out of curiosity, how do you expect the new dampers to compare to something like the ohlins flag r's?

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

Haha. I don't care mate. Whore away :D

Well, I ain't spending all this money for nothing ;).

What I have in there ATM is basically a flag R, just with a Nismo sticker on it. On the canister you see "Ohlins" written on the canister. Time will tell.

If you dont mind me asking, how much are they charging to do the setup for you? PM me if you like.

Just interested as ive been looking at flag r's or r tunes for my 32R, but if these are just as good or better at a fraction of the cost, it may also be a viable option for me as well.

Staying with remote reservoir?

Me reservoir. The body of the shock is a bilstien PSS9 with Dejan's specs.

My set won't be able to be put into a R32. Totally different suspension setup. How much are you looking at spending? These definately are not "budget" but they're not $10,000 either.

Ill pm you more info.

Yeah, judging by your comments i assumed you used to have (well still have for now) nismo r-tunes, which have a remote reservoir.

I know that R32 and R33 GTR's have a different setup, different weight and geometry, which is why yours would be no good for a 32.

"Budget" is not what im after, and yours is sounding like a good option.

Yeah, please PM me some info if you could, im quite intrigued.

Out of interest is it only the nismo r tune coilovers that have the remote reservoir or do the s tunes as well? Reason I ask is I have some sort of nismo suspension in my 34 at the moment and it has a remote reservoir just not sure exactly what it is

So Nick, it turns out you didn't steal my box of gold parts :D. Roll centre adjuster kit and tie rod ends here. That pretty much completes the underneath of the car. I think the only rubber/plastic bush mount on the car is gearbox mounts and engine mounts. ALL the arms are pillow ball and rear diff bushes are alloy.

Dampers should be at Unigroup by now. Booked in for the 31st.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
