Sorry to mention names agian...

But you all prob remember me having that lil drama with my suspension not too

long ago...

For those who dont know... i got new suspension fitted, and 1mths after, the front control arm colapsed... (long story short)

well when i took it back to get fixed the fixed it all up, and told me they checked all the other bolts just incease they were loose..

well there has been a loud sqeak coming from my rear recently, and been pissen me off... i checked it out today, and found that one of thr control arm bolts were loose... ANOTHER ONE!

i let them go with the last prob, as they fixed it all up with no hassel... but obviously not...

NOT HAPPY!

i had my suspension setup by chris at inline last week, full coil overs and sway bars. i've got a massive squeak coming from my front left which is unbearable. i don't know what it is, but he couldn't check it out until next week. i'm a little surprised by it as everyone said he knew his stuff.

Chris knows his stuff!!! The only place i go in the canberra area for suspension.

He mite not be the cheepest or the qucikest but you get what you pay for and you cant rush perfection.

That's exactly how Chris works.

He basically won't leave a job alone until he's satisfied the job is done right, which might not be done all in one day. If he takes a week, he takes a week, and every time I've gotten my car back from him it's been superb quality work.

As for the squeaky Stagea,

He's training his new right hand man I think, I wouldn't worry about it too much, take it back & he should fix it properly.

Yeah i know he's the best. i figured out it's just the camber kit hasn't been lubricated. today while driving in the wet the squeak all but dissappeared, so that settled my concerns.

i'll be getting it fixed and lowered a bit more on wednesday, look out for my cool looking wagon at a store near you!

I would also recommend Ian and co @ Howard Revell in fyshwick. They solved a serious tramping problem I had on my old CA18DET 1200 ute without resorting to tramp rods. He wouldnt let the car out of the shop unless it was right. When I picked it up, it was perfect and I never had a problem again.

I believe he also works on Martins EVO (VIII?) race car - the one that won last years Dutton Rally.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
