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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
