  1. Spring rates should be selected based on corner weights, nothing to do with engine power the car could have 100hp or 1000hp, what matters is the weight over the individual corner and how much load is transfered to it during cornering (this is worked out using a combination of data ride height/suspension travel/motion ratio etc) You should be able to find a formulas to work it out on the net but you will have to do some research its not really something which can be explained in a short post
  2. Hey guys, The R34 GTR comes with aluminium lower control arms / A-arms... Lower unsprung weight blah blah Has anyone on here ever swapped a set of these onto a GT-T? Basically my question is, are the uprights on the GT-R the same as on the GT-T (minus the bearing for front axle)? Cheers!
  3. i asked at tyreco in Wangara when i got my street tyres, he could get some in, i dont remember the details. Their number is 93022231
  4. So not for everyday driving then any word on when they are selling it at the pump here? last i heard someone was trying to manafacture it here a couple of years back but it fell thru...
  5. how much is it worth per litre, ive often thought about getting some but never looked into it... cheers
  6. wheres your E85 coming from if you dont mind me asking? stupid WA lol group buy on barrels? lol Ill be at Jacks officiating will pop over and say hi if i have time
  7. keen as for the khana should be a good day
  8. And also that they go together EASY so the full deal... Heat oven to 100 degrees Put a flat tray in the oven for the light to sit on, so there are no grill's or raised bits of the oven touching the light in one spot where it can damage/melt (make sure light is evenly placed in the oven/heat is not going to one spot) Make sure no rubber seal or any meltable bit is touching a hot part of the oven so you do not damage the area. The plastic of the light surround is made of thermoplastic, it will not be even close to melting at this temp, just make sure you do not concentrate the heat on any vunerable part leave in for 10 min at least (I tried at 85 degrees for 15 min; it does not activate the goop, must be at 100+ for the glue to become soft) pull apart from one side and lever off all the way to the other side, this is probably the hardest part, if it is not pulling apart easily leave it in the oven longer, once the goop is at the right temp it will move After both pieces are seperated.. I would REALLY reccomend using a tool to move/rearrange any goop which has pulled out now WHILE IT IS HOT, if you place it all back in line with the seal now it will stick back together naturally (basically the glue can become very messy and stringy like mozzarella but no where near as bad, clean up the strings NOW while its still soft) Clean inside of the light and fix whatever else is screwed (my lights like many others will find have been de-xenoned by complience for ADR [because the xenon was too bright]... yay... so crappy h-bulbs were fitted instead of the v.pricy xenon bulbs and the ballast setup [and as result the wiring for the stock balast has been butchered and balast gone]... I have not completed the restoration back to xenon yet but will soon, apparently the kit to go for is bosche HID kit for D2R fittings [D2R is the code of the xenon fitting/plug used in the light] ) If you clean it all up sweet the light will glue back together very easily, it presses together into the seams with minimal force Just heat both parts back up to 100 and push together till it has sealed, have the 5 clips and 2 screws ready to put in while still warm, I had no issues at all with this part, prep of the seams/glue will make it go straight in hope this helps, will update when I return the light back to proper power/bosche kit
  9. Can also confirm 100 degrees is the magic temperature to open these up
  10. I'm chasing exterior door trim for both doors Both the piece which runs along the top of the door (where your arm would rest if it was out window) and the piece which runs up the A-pillar along roof to B-pillar (attached to body of car) Cheers!
  11. the shroud helps the fan pull air through the core effectivly, much better cooling with it on
