what was wrong with the kit Grego?

Gary's recommended kit includes the following:

Front Eibach Main Springs

Rear Eibach Main Springs

Rear Eibach Helper/Tender Springs

Colil Over Conversion Kits x 4

Front Bilstein Shocks

Rear Bilstein Shocks

Front stabiliser bar adj

Rear stabiliser bar adj

Caster Kit

Front Camber kit

Rear Camber Kit

Front Bump Stops

Rear Bump Stops

Rear Subframe alignment kit

I'd like to hear your thoughts Grego as I was just about to get the funds organised for the above?

Shocks, springs, sway bars and bump stops are good. Everything else i would be going adjustable arms (you can get adjustable arms with rubber bushes rather than spherical bearings). The sub frame alignment kit http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KCA349 why would he recommend that rather than just replacing the 20 year old bushes?

Also what about the diff mounts, rear lower control arm bushes, bushes in the rear hubs/uprights and more i can't think of now. There are a lot of parts he has left out.

Hey scotty, calipers are upside down afterall

Yer, thought it was. Ah well ill switch them over next time they need bleeding.. They still work really well

Also, so much zed, so little shed

Holy Zeds Batman...... I like the fact you've got so much love for one type of car. Any chance we will see one of these at the dyno day this weekend or happy laps??

We should have a party at Mikes and see how much of the backyard we can fill with Zeds and Skyrine. If the Zeds win, we but him a beer. If the Skylines win, we put an RB20 in one of his Zeds. :-D

rb20 might at least give more engine room for other mods. May stop the process of taking the engine out of a zed to do an oil change lol

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
