alright, from the looks of your car, it is a sII gtst. I also own one of these, and i'll tell you that you cannot install mesh due to that gay plastic behind the front bar. That needs to come off to install an fmic anyway. What you do, is you use a jigsaw and cut it off. Then sand it back. It has been covered how to take hte front bar off. Do something difficult. It's called search. Also, if you're gonna saw it, why put mesh and be a rice boy? put an fmic!

Well silver mesh is semi-acceptable in some cases. But it will get lost in a wall of silver if your car is silver.

White mesh well... That is Evo kitted Lancer Coupe territory...

I cannot recall any Skyline related application where non-black mesh has looked "good"

Silver mesh on Carbon bonnet vents should be punishable by something really yucky

But it is your car and this is only my opinion, so feel free to ignore it :D

im guessing here, but i would have thought that the pressure would push it through anyway. thats assuming that the holes are a decent size, not tiny.

ive been wanting to cover my holes with mesh since i got my car. it looks a lot neater and it makes it harder for cops to spot the cooler. plus i want to spray it black.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
