Nice man glad it all somewhat worked out in the end. Any update on the inspection company?
As for coil packs stay away from red and yellow ones. Black (oem) or blue splitfires, or upgrade the whole lot to 35 GTRs/other new ones.
Usually the lower mount has a thicker/wider side, see image of the right side of the lower shock mount.
Don't see why a couple of washers wouldn't do the same job.
Those dates are probably compliance dates. The shop who did my RWC put the compliance date instead of manufacture date, had to go back to get it sorted since I was going club permit and it had to be >25 years.
Hey man, does the temp go up if in stand still traffic? Mine also usually floats around 87-88c but gets up to 90-91c if in traffic, and I have been told that those numbers are too high.
Not too sure if I should be getting worried or not, thanks.
