Lol. If I was still on them I would have been upside down through that corner. I personally use the 595 over the evo any day but I have found they have a limit. I've changed to kuhmo at this stage. 1 2 in the champion ship they must be ok. They have so far been light years ahead but they are way expensive

I have several aspects to revamp on the. Car but can't seem to get into it. Any one got a way to get yourself motivated?

This weather doesn't help much. If you have a goal it helps, as in set a date. Although we figured out you have to be realistic haha.

Spent a bit of time today doing surgery on our car, nothing major just cutting out battery tray which is diseased with rust!

Not sure how much I need to cut out though, if you look at pic below you can see a few areas I have cleaned up with wire wheel that are pitted from rust but not rusted through, do these areas need to go as well or is it ok to just treat and paint?

Just coating that should be fine

Yeah as jangles said just treat and paint. As long as the Strength of the metal is still there then there's no need to remove it. By cleaning it up like you have and treating it with a metal conditioner/rust converter it will never come back as long as you coat it properly.

So thinking of installing my new BC coilovers myself soon when i get the time, any tips to make it go smoothly, im pretty sure i can do the fronts no problems, just the back im a bit unsure of, ive seen a vid on youtube where he just removes the rear seat, but ive read somewhere that you need to remove the parcel shelf?

also other than height is there anything else i need to adjust before/during install? im prob gonna put the damper on soft as its for the street, but anything else you guys could recommend?

Finally found some motivation. Got a stack of work done to the car today. Repainted one and touthed up the other rims that got badly gravel rashed at symmons. Oil change and sump guard fitted. I've also been revamping the back end and removing weight where I can. Found the toe rod ball joint loose and replaced it with the only spare I have.. Brought a spot drill bit and been in studying panels where I can. Also got some alloy to start making a rear diffuser. On track for round 3. Also hoping to get to the legerwood lane hill climb.

Not too sure you can mate. If your talking about the little spring that sits below the main spring it's just there to locate the top spring and stop it from moving off the seat when under full extension.

ok well from what i figured about he coilovers, the very bottom collar is for lowering/raising the car, and the top one adjusts the preload, the one just below it, makes sure it doesnt move, and from vids and reading new springs can 'settle' so one vid said to tighten the preload by about 5mm to account for that, and i have been told that you just adjust it after bit of driving... just wanted to see if what others have done, so ill prob just install them and check them after a few days...

ok cheers thanks for that,

last thing in this pick my coilovers came with this thing just above the 'c' collar that adjust height, never seen it on a coilover before,

is it ok just to take it off?

it would be to bolt the abs sensor cable to for abs equipped cars

ok cheers, thought that could be the case, as i had a quick look under the car and the stock shocks have something sticking out, i guess its no use to me then

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
