Me: "I just dropped my car at the shop"

Wife calls work secretary: "That asshole is modifying his car again, got any work  happening in Siberia?

Work: "Cool, pack your bags, you leave tomorrow"

This is my guess... enjoy your trip this week haha ?

LOL your work sounds fun!

8psi will make annoying noises if you don't run a BOV and metres of FMIC pipe work :) 

Might be a job for a coke can blocking plate gasket, Yo

I'm more looking forward to the first time the Mrs hears it, she is going to be well pissed off......her reaction should be pretty funny.

I will just explain that it needed the turbo to quiten down cold start.

That reaction should be pretty sweet as well.

God bless her, and may god have mercy on my soul.

When is it ready? I'll take you on with the Tiguan.

It just had both front wheel bearings removed, serviced and re-installed on a 1 year old car with 15k kms lol.

Surprised it didn't throw a CEL and disabled the car :P

Are you still going to tow that trailer up Macquarie Pass, wasn't that one of the rules?

When is it ready?, I'm hoping tomorrow, my boat (real boat/ship, not a R33) leaves on the 13th of this month, this means I will most likely be on a plane on Monday, that gives me the weekend to race a Tiguan towing a trailer up the pass, break the gearbox, and throw a rod, oh, and pack.

It looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend

We should all catch up for a cruise in our non-Skylines LOL

I'm spewing I'm going to miss the SAUNSW cruise up Macquarie Pass to Roberstson pie shop.

Although, I do head up there at least once a month for a drive topped with pies, apple turnovers with cream to be then washed down with icecream at Wollongong lighthouse after doing the Jamberoo run.

 

Mmmmmmm, pies cakes and icecream....

skids

WOW, what a difference

Dyno is saved file from pre-tune in March to 8 psi boost now, WOW

Car is as responsive as farrrrk, pulls hard, WOW

Most importantly is that cold start is not as loud, the turbo has done its main job at muffling the exhaust..........?

Shiny clamps is the only giveaway

I feel that alot, and I mean all, WRX and STI's cruise around chopping every 86 they see, for fun.

LOL, that has bit them on the arse today, the little 86 is pumping

Not that I went out hunting this morning or anything

I did get punished by a branch falling off a tree infront of me, no time to really do anything but cringe, a few more battle scars but nothing major.

My little 86 is perfect

No more mods needed

Well..........it could do with more .....tutututu

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Small turbo kit on a 86 is one of those "enjoy it/great little car" combos. Right up there with a little turbo MX5 at similar power. Sit back, relax, enjoy, and act smug when people who look cool on forums blow up all their money in broken engines.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
