']im well aware that they are pnp for the car they are made for, sk was saying that to make it pnp on nicks car, he would have to change a few things... thats no longer pnp is it

SK didnt say thats what you have to do to make it Plug and Play, he said thats the 'method' you have to use to make it work.

I looked into the r32 loom, theyre at a premium due to their repective ecu being able to be chipped, the few i did find had people asking ridiculous prices Certainly isnt a plug and play when you have to change looms, Esp when plugs need to be changed etc.

Nismoid, playing with a wiring loom is far from being 'just a few wires' its a godamn headache. Yet again please post or have those who have 'switched' looms post here.

Something to keep in mind is that if you have an R32 or car with a similar chipable ECU is just getting it re-tuned with a custom chip. If I remember correctly the factory ecu is at least as good as a PFC in terms of drivability.

This is probably only good for people like me who only intend to get the car tuned once or maybe twice but then again there are a lot of us who dont need to constantly retune the car.

not getting a whole 32 loom.

playing with the existing one which is a few wires in terms of how many there are.

If people can get a 32 silver ECU to go on a red-top without too much hassle then it cant be hard or cost mega $$$

Getting back to Link ECU's, had on for bout 4 years. Had it on a manual 33 and auto 33. I have no problem admitting that i feel shattered, its been a ball breaker over the years to fine someone who can tune it. On both Manual and auto theres no bottom end, stalling the auto is gone revs stop going up after 1100rpm.

The problem lies in the tuning or lack of it available, i have taken it out and has been sitting on my shelf for over a year....actually if anyones interested i'll sell the focker, map sensor included obvisiously. So this from someone who has experienced it rather than debating wether its any good or not. Believe me, avoid the Link...damn just botched any chance of me selling it!

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • 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?
