on the weekend i went drifitng and managed to do the front LHS (passenger side) lower control arm/sway bar and also the stabilizer arm (i brok eem right off). Went to the local import halfcut place and found out these were the same identical to the r32 gtst ones and got em for 300 bux.

I also noticed teh tie rods were also teh same size as well.

Hahahahaha!  I didnt find that funny until you quoted it!  HAHAH!  Classic, made my day!

hahaha.. yeah was funny till i coulnt counter steer in time (lack of damn power steering didnt return the steering wheel in time) and my car landed on the kerb. :skull:

The undercover copper was right there when i drifted around the bend. He saw the whole thing. HAHAHA

CC rocks around the corner behind me to find the car on the kerb.

Told him it was a "mechanical failure" that i somehow managed to go sidewayz around the bend at 70km/h in peak traffic and land on the bend. Still he was a top bloke thou let us go. Heck he had no proof anywayz.

Lol ceffo -

you have a bad memory :tool: :P

He suggested that "noone else was involved, no property damaged, if you can get it towed I dont have to call highway patrol."

He was a top bloke and had PLENTY of proof. ie. copper being a witness is as good as 5 witnesses.

You're just downplaying how lucky you was.. if it had been me I would have been getting butt****ed right now. :whip:

Either way I'm glad it ended how it did now we can live another day and-

bahahaham funny stuff.

A fair few months back we went drifting in an industrial estate in brissie. We had been hitting this truck turn around (hairpin) all night. I got a tad ****y, came out of it and kept trying to go from side to side up the street, ended up in a ditch on the side of the road.

Cops came and i said, my car broke down and i forgot to put my handbrake on and it rolled down the hill. He tried the "you can tell me mate, i am a car enthusiast as well, except i like v8's" I kept to my word and we got our names recorded and I was left to feel sorry for myself in peace!!!!!

Funny stuff!!! But my poor lil onevia need a bit of cosmetic work after that! lol, still needs some

Copied & Paste this from NS.com

s13 tierods are 12mm, and the shortest of the lot

s14 tie rods are 14mm and are slightly longer, but can be used in s13 but are around 10(ish) mm longer
s15 tierods are 12mm and are longer than s14 for some reason, tried them in a s13 but had monster toe in.
r32 have both 12mm and 14mm tierods, so you need to check before you buy, and SHOULD be the same length as s13

Surprised know one has actually stated that Cefiro's only use M14. Unless you are using an S13 rack of course.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
