Hi SAU NSW,

Recently moved up to Northern Beaches from Melbourne, so needing a bad influence from you guys with upgrade advise and motivation.

Been reading the forums since 2011 when I brought an R32 GTR 1990, so big thank you to all that contributed...the info is so valuable.

Car has rebuilt Stage 1 by RacePace Rb26dett, Link G4, 1000cc ID, new pump, new coils, 9l sump, large dump pipes, random front pipes & 3inch exhaust. Nismo twin Coppermix with std diff/box. Ran 11.96 1/4 and few cask days in VIC.

Car is off road for month or so to refresh the brakes & suspension.

If you see me around the Sydney traps, please say hi.

Anyone know what brand springs are in the photo of rear suspension? Lovell?

Organising a set of Bilsteins through Sydney Kid, but tempted to re-use these rear springs as they were ok with worn out factory shocks.

So my 9month old son could probably push these shock in...takes 40seconds to return out with some bubbling sounds.

Can't wait for Bilsteins. Sent dimensions & details to Sydney Kid to see what spring rate, just out of curiosity.

Taking orders for custom 2.4mtr breaker bars...great for cracking nuts. Lacks finesse for tightening though.

Rear brakes out, shocks out, 36mm off....disc still on. Try the 2x 6mm bolt to edge it off, but open to suggestions

Thanks k_d, I undid handbrake in car and at disc..drivers came off easy. Pass side still needed the two bolts inserted and it popped off. Ordering DBA T3 4000s for rear, as discs are under minimum thickness.

Looked at Project Mu handbrake shoes, but couple hundred is abit rough. Anyone changing handbrake shoes...(3mm on all shoes left) & to which OEM Nissan or aftermarket? Worth while?

Sydney Kid confirmed rear springs are 3.5kg, so running with those spring with Bilsteins, Whiteline sway bar and some new bushes.

QFM do a custom handbrake shoe...anyone know what thickness the shoe pads should be?

DBA rears turned up.

Entry in for SAU 24th Aug track day, so goal is June get rear end complete & front brakes with July re-registered in NSW.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
