Just thought I'd post a few questions that have popped into my head in recent days.

Firstly

1.) What type of petrol should I use for my N/A? Premium? Optimax? Normal Unleaded? (in case it's not in the FAQ)

2.) What's the stock sound system like in R34's? All mine has so far is a CD stacker. I'm wondering if I'll just need to add an amp, a headunit and subs, or whether I'll also have to install new speakers.

3.) What do you look for when looking for wheels for your car? I hear alot of people asking about Offset etc. but have no idea what that's about. I wanna get 17 or 18's for my R34 at the end of the year, preferably in a style similar to P1 Buddy II's (Gunmetal or White). I don't know which rims are compatible tho!

4.) Where can I get dials for the middle dash like R34 GTT's have? My car has nothing above the airconditioner, but I'd like a few dials there! Is it easy to get the same type as in GTT's or would it be better to buy some from a third party company. Also are those dials even necessary? From pictures I've seen, I thought those dials told you things such as your oil levels, so I'm wondering where my oil levels will be displayed?

Please answer as many as possible :)

Cheers guys!

Your oil pressure is on the speedo...to fit the GTt cluster you need to do a bit of messing around as we've got a moulded dash, where the GTts have a cut-out in that position.

BTW those dials aren't really necessary for N/A as one of them is a boost gauge, mainly just there for wank factor.

Stock sound system is not that great...get an amp, sub and splits to start with.

Use the best fuel you can afford, I wouldn't recommend anything less than premium!

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
