haha go for it mate, i have no clue what you guys are talking about so some tein coil-over part numbers that would be ok to use would be nice :P lol

Can't speak for BCs in a C34, but I just got a set of HSDs for mine: spring rates differed significantly (mine are harder by about 10%) to the BC off the shelf offering, and I love it: might be a little firm for a daily driver, but dare I say better handling and more comfortable than the "Sydneykid" setup I was running before...

Just an update, cars all arrived and registered, should have updated this alot earlier. Absolutely loving the car! No problems as of yet, need to find a nice set of coil overs for her pretty soon as she needs alot more low! just re installed the HID lights due to compliance and hopefully get around to ordering my custom number plates within the next couple weeks.

went away this weekend and got a decent picture off the car, pity i didnt have my good camera on me and only had my phone.

Also im about to buy some new wheels and tyres, i test fitted a 18 inch wheel with a lower profile tyre and the speedo was out by about 10kmh, any way i can fix this ? or is it something ill have to put up with when running a smaller profile tyre ? thanks!

I was like yes, yes, yes, hmmmm ok...... NO!

Stickers.... :(

At least they are removable.

Yea im still not sure if i will keep all the stickers. Wouldn't mind just one decent looking and sized sticker along the back window but thats still something i have to find. Just can't wait till i get my new wheels!

Such a beautiful car and well looked after. So I see you haven't put the roof wrap on as yet. Whats happening with that. Im thinking of a black roof wrap. Just deciding on gloss or matt

About the roof wrap, Ive been on holidays so once i saved my pennies for the coilovers the rest went on spending money while i was away haha. So hopefully the roof wrap is only a couple weeks away! Its still happening, Dont have to worry about that :P

Out of curiosity what profile size tyres you have on it?

Cant remember of the top of my head, Ill have a look for you when i get home tomorrow :)

Quick photoshop of the wheels i have put on pre order over at WORK Japan, and also the sticker bomb roof wrap ill hopefully be picking up this weekend.

I hope the rears fit too. Might get away with it due to flares and coilovers but for reference, here is how 19x9.5 + 30 sits on an RX (they are +40 with a 10mm spacer).

If 10.5 + 23 were there, it would stick out an extra 20mm roughly

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
