Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[luke gtr]

finished power steer reservoir relocate.

didnt have enough fluid.

need to fit belt.

started to wire thermo fan.

[Sinista32]

Same when I got it back eventually. Dropped a packet on suspension.

Steering components were in great nick luckily.

I've had to replace basically everything suspension wise on the GTR and it wasn't cheap but a lot of those things were more expensive than what I paid to get things done.

I think great to get all that stuff refreshed on such an old car.

My GTR is an 89 model and when I bought it in 2005 the first thing I did besides get a major service done was drop like $3k on the suspension. Well worth it but I'd just double check these prices that you have

I've had to do a bit of steering work too.

I ended up getting my Hicas totally removed end of last year too. Was leaking and just didn't need to be there.

Did you notice a big difference when you got all that fixed up Kat?

[luke gtr]

ive barely spent anything on suspension.

adjustable front and rear camber arms.

adjustable castor arms.

new rack end.

new rear tie rod ball joints.

hicas eliminator.

thats it so far.

should do subframe bushes and try and source new bushes for coilovers, but eh, when I get there.

Did you notice a big difference when you got all that fixed up Kat?

f**king oath.

I bought the car at a good price knowing it needed a buttload of work though.

There's been a few other times when shit has broken over the years and I could REALLY tell the difference before/after the fix.

[Sinista32]

[Got a Pulsar]

Replaced a hose clamp on the turbo piping, switched from GTR to GTS-t BOV for fun and changed my grill back from coupe to 4door.

[Shuyin]

Washed the GTR, 6 hours later and still wasn't happy with it.

[Sinista32]

Also did minor stuff over the weekend

Put new Nissan sports aluminium pedals on and sun visors in.

Took Rosie in to get coil overs done - missing bush in one of the coil overs (Couldn't do it) so requested to do brakes - They didn't have time to do it. So got Rosie back with no work done ($50 labour fee so pretty much paid $50 to park on the southside). Few days later got a quote on all the work that needs to be done due to tare and wear, as follow; I guess with the below all done and fixed that's everything for suspesion and steering also, all the parts that are being replaced are from factory from my understanding so 15 years worth out of a part is fairly decent I spose:
