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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
