Does any body on SAU work at Trojan, thinking bout takin my car there to fix the defect stuff but wanna chat first. Or is there someone who's best too talk too? Do they give us any sorta deal?

Thanks guys. I'm still thinking I may do it myself buuuut then it maybe better to just get it done.

As for replacing upper inner control arm bushes and radius rod bushes, what's best to go with? OEM, nolathane?

Well, totally different but same, the SkyWagStag now has 4 lots of either New or good second hand Nolathane bushes (Castor, Swaybar and Swaybar links) on it.

Being much better condish than the 24 year old Flogged out ones, they make a huge difference. But I guess new OEM ones may well be the same.

I just got whatever was cheaper.

Rubber is better, even for racecars.

It takes up the shock and vibration without getting loose.

Also John at Trojan sold me those volks for $600. Was $800 but he couldnt get a part or something so i got a discount. He is very nice.

$800 was a bargain anyway.

Well thank jeebus the hot weather is over.

I can move again, and be outside during the day.

Whiteline do rubber too.

Hardrace have the option of hardened rubber, but its mostly arms n stuff with the bush already in it.

Also stay away from rose joints or pillow ball joints, they suck balls, and wear very quickly. Bastards need replacing in 6 months.

Yes i wasted money on that crap. Thanks Driftworks, wankers.

there was sudden rain down at my dads in Calwell for about 10 mins yesterday, got out of the pool, smoke everywhere, herd thunder and the raid instantly came down hard! the heat cracked a pipe for the pool heater so lost some water out of the pool, the rain filled it again within 10 mins....

so I went inside, jumped on gt6, got the 33 and went drifting :)

I just hope they will at least re-look at the highway driving. Making it 120km/h would be a great increase. That way I can drive 130km/h on the highway instead of currently driving 120km/h :D

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
