Actually I didn't have issues... then I HAD issues after taking my suspension to a very well known shop that isn't Centreline...

 

......so, looking for someone who actually knows Bilsteins.

What did you have them do to the Bilsteins? and what are the issues you are now experiencing?

"A workshop" (Not Centerline, as in actually NOT centreline)

I wrote my car off as most know.

Bought new car, cool
Moved perfectly working suspension from old car, to new car at aforementioned workshop. They weren't damaged or affected in the accident in any way.
Get car back, front is mysteriously low. Like, super not right.
Take them back, ask to adjust height this time and not have a 45mm rake which didn't exist on the previous car. Front was like 325mm center to guard, rear was like 365 center to guard.
Specified heights on old car was 355/345.

Anyway, was told the fronts were maxxed out.
Then was told they were "able to be fitted because dis-assembled/re-assembled" and heights are good now.
But they were fine before, in the same model of car.

After that, the fronts are crashy as, they will slam into bump stops over speed bumps, as though the shock has nearly no dampening at all... though the height is right.
Also knock, creak, etc.

Never really got a reason why this occurred. Just a lot of handwaving when pressed for any details.

Hence wanting to go elsewhere for a 2nd opinion on the shocks by someone who will know Bilsteins back to front. Was planning to go to Quadrant for this, but have had other car issues in the meantime :P
 

started trying to finish off the last few little (but time consuming) bits on the pulsar. When fitting new fuel lines in the tank and the shitty plastic hose fitting for the return line snaps off. it has completely sapped all motivation I have. $91 from Nissan to replace the section of the inner-tank swirl pot thingy.

If anyone wants to come to my house and complete the checklist I have for the car, I will pay monies. theyre not little jobs you can just get a workshop to do, they will laugh at you, then do a shit job, then charge through the ass and take a month to do it.

ok for real estate gurus.

 

lets say you own an apartment.

body corp finds a prob with the building and lets every-one know they are due for a XX,000 bill.

 

if you sell prior to them sending you the actual bill do you need to declare this to the new buyer?

 

could this bite you after settlement.

    • 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.
