Isn't this a lesson to be learnted. :D

Use the stock accelerator pedal, cable and gearknob but aftermarket indicator lenses and rear spoiler end covers and this is what happens. Some people never learn. lol

Emre better be carefull. If Magic's car pooped it on only 511rwhp then he had better be carefull with his 633rwhp beast.

I'm sure he's not worried he has a few secrets that should help hold the beast together.

Sure has.18000ks of hard work and one of the origional valve springs has failed,rest of the motor is perfect but Tristan is going to port the head and fit QP springs. Had a minor miss at high revs and we found one soft spring.

Anyone that wants to see how well a basic 25 can take a beating can come in and check it out.

Well... We sent Ash down to see how it's done, so we can catch up.

After he gets back, we will all gather around a camp fire and just marvel at the stories he has to tell. I'm sure we won't sleep that night.

Can't wait.

:bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha:

A little birdy told me that magic1 has problems and the head is off at the moment

Any truth to this, its nice to share the bad stories with the good  :(

i have returned from the land of relaxation, so where is this campfire?

Dragster33, your simply just being a dickhead and trying to cause trouble where it is not due. Who are you being the puppet for?

A minor repair and its time to crack out the big bad wolf and all the stories.

As im not stessed right now... i wont give you out warning points. Next time you try to dig a reaction such as that you will get some.

I saw this motor stripped, everything was in A1 condition, just a slight problem as Steve stated. Some of you people need to seriously grow up.

Yeah i agree, he is the same little gossiper that started a roumor about our car. Just because some one is looking for a guard means they have had an accident (right). So does changing the cars colour (right). If you read Autosalon issue 24 you will see that a colour change was always on the cards. The guard was for another one of our skylines (No.2 car). Go back to the schoolyard you little girl. Paul...DIRTgarage.

Its not that at all.

When people make statements that appear to be theoretically incorrect and don't back it up apart from a statement of "Every workshop has secrets" people tend to start thinking people are full of sh*t and loose respect for them.

And 'then' as you stated, Steve says people need to grow up.. hrmmm.. ok.. :rofl:

This is a board for sharing information not to drum up business for his own workshop by stating he can do things that others can't.

If he were to share a little bit of information even some kind of theory then all is good.

But I do personally hold respect for Steve as he has taken a lot of ribbing that he has simply taken on the nose and doesn't get all keyboard warriorish. :(

R31 Nismoid.. As I stated before in another thread..

Threads like this should be moved to another section, it really is off topic.

BUT I really don't see how this thread can attract warning points as it is not attempting to get a bite but simply a roumer that did have 'some' truth to it.

Sure if it was total bullsh*t then I would have to agree with you.

There is going to be a little bit of ribbing and stirring but who's fault is that?

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
