I am absolutely sick of all you haters about me driving a turbo. If you have nothing to say don't say it. There is no reason to be Nasty you wouldn't do it to a person On there opens its just because I wear that little plate. I did it all legally and got approved GET OVER IT!

Yeah none of those ridiculous mods it has 18 chromies on it... I hate them. I want to put te37's on

All I'm doing is just changing everything back to stock with the engine for now to stop any extra attention.

sure you did it legally, but through a loop hole. you decided that the law shouldn't apply to you and so you decided to try for the loop hole which is only really there for people who need to drive a turbo vehicle because their parents own on and they NEED to drive it, or their work vehicle is turbo and they NEED to drive it. not because some kid likes skylines and decides he's going to buy one regardless of what the law says beccause, well, f**k it, he damn well WANTS to drive a skyline like the cool kids! and despite what he says about driving sensibly, it won't be long before he's racing cars off from the lights and doing burnouts and generally doing more damage to the already fragile image of import owners and enthusiasts.

Ok for one. I do drive it for work running for parts dropping off customers and picking them up. And i have a moderately power exemption it does not need a reason for it. It isn't a loop hole, it's there for cars that are turbo but don't have the power of a turbo. And all the cool kids drive there skid pig commodores.

You should of been at the mighty car mods meet today and seen all the p platers with turbo cars. And all the idiots driving stupidly.

And you know what as I said I have had it with the negativity

Plus what's the difference of me getting a n/a and just going out and being that stupid p plater like you are all portraying. The difference is some kilowatts. And that is it. So get over the turbo fact and can we get back to the point of this whole forum. General discussion and advice about cars. Not ragging on me because some people have a problem with me. If you have a problem..... Simple!....... STOP REPLYING AND LOOKING AT THIS THREAD!!

what marc is trying to say is that its your attitude that could be a potential problem

you bought a car that you know, as per the law, should be prohibited; you then made steps to put yourself behind the wheel of said car (with no guarantee that the exemption would go through).

yes you went through legitimate means, but it takes a certain amount of subconscious arrogance (or an 'i'm better than that' mindset) to go for it.

I'm not having a dig at you mate, but we all know that such a mindset (regardless of age) is not a good thing.

EDIT: Mad082, i don't even know if your names marc. :S i dont know if it's your signature or what, but for as long as i can remember on the forum, everytime i see a post of yours ive associated your account with 'marc'

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
