Rhd Japan 

Me too, they are definitely the cheapest for them at about 2/3 the price. Running the red version in both the blue 32 and 33 - I don't think there was any difference in price at RHD between the blue standard and red race versions. The blue one is just supposed to mimic the factory sensor parameters apparently.

I think you’re right it mimics the factory one just faster which will work great for me, after the transfer case mod it put the power to the ground with no issues in second gear (didn’t try first as I knew the engine was broken)

Decided to more “because it’s 30yrs old” work on the car C1B52A06-472F-4FF0-BF05-408DC7E98603.thumb.jpeg.f69e04f9d973c3c673018402624ca9f1.jpeg

Replace the ball joints in the inner and out of the lower control arm

and while I was at I threw in a set of these to fix the suspension angles after lowering it and move the spacers on the rack ends to match

Wow you're really going all out on this. You're doing all the things most people don't bother with, and I love it!

Thanks mate, I’ve got a couple more things to do but I’m really running out of things to do without the engine.

Got the genuine rear bearings and set about fitting them up

pulled the front hubs out but do not have the tools I’d require to do them myself and will need to get them done next week

Got the hubs back during the week, bearings replaced and a quick vapor blast and they’re looking good

devided while I was at it I’d give the brakes some new discs

and fitted, yes I know it’s an old split pin, the shafts need to come out when the engine gets fitted and I’ll replace them then

I gave the rear the same treatment as well

Have you done your diff, subframe, and LCA bushes? And how about all the ball joints?

I'm sure I can help you waste money LOL.

Already done all of them when the getrag went in

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
