Any updates on this beast Robbie?

Not a great deal Amir....

As it would go getting the last few issues/details finished off is taking a massive amount of time. I've been flat out with other things as well as waiting on parts so the R has been spending all its time in the garage :verymad:

The noisy front end has also made driving it very very annoying, which we put down to the spherical bearing front strut tops, so my main goal has been to get this sorted asap.

New ISC tops arrived a fews ago and have only just had a chance to get them swapped out

Forgot to get photos of the coilovers completed with the new tops

Actually took a bit of time and a little modifying of the strut setup given the new tops are a fair amount thicker than the old ones. Again I didn't manage to get any photos, but under the foam stopper there is a tubular spacer that needed to cut 10mm and also used a couple of washers to get the spacing/height right.

There has also been issues with the Whiteline front upper arm bushes but will get into that next time.

Have the new bonnet insulator/clips for ages now and again finally got the time to get it on

Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Rear brace going on...FINALLY!!!!!

So it turned out I was the lucky one to find out that Whiteline had manufactured the bushes below out of tolerance, had to wait months for these to come through. Swapped the old ones out and re-installed. Had been been using a spare pair of Nismo UCA's in the mean time.

Hi Robbie

I'm looking at the ISC strut tops myself, can you please explain a little more about

under the foam stopper there is a tubular spacer that needed to cut 10mm and also used a couple of washers to get the spacing/height right.

Thanks

Hey Mark

The spacer is more relating to the coilover, in my first post on this page, look at the third photo. You will note there is around 40mm of the shaft between the polished section and where the thread starts...

The spacer (tubular) slides over the the shaft and sits on the step where the polished sections begins. It spaces up the strut top onto the thread section...otherwise as you tighten up the top nut you would just be continually tightening and loading up the spring!!

The spacer was approx. 35mm but due the ISC top being thick we cut it down to 25mm and used a couple of washers to get it just right...

In your case, it would all depend on what coilovers your looking to put the ISC tops onto...

Cheers

That rear bar, number plate light & the plate itself is some jizzworthy shit.

Mind PMing me specifics on how to set mine up like that myself? Mainly after the frame etc ~

edit: Just checked out Vplates.com.au - is that just a "Prestige" style plate mounted normally?

Lol thanks Joesph. Yep, correct, the number plate frame is just the standard frame supplied from PPQ (personalised plates qld).

You can leave it at my place if you want..... Hell of a car.

When does work start on the next one? :woot:

      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.

      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.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
