    That's cheap as for a brand spanker. Remeber I live in the land where a second hand Getrag is 5-6k minimum second hand. Evo might just be the best platform around in many regards. If I was so far in bed with this Silvia I would track one for sure.
  2. No Crust Racing
    Is that brand new?

    Talk to Kelford about your goals. He was fairly accurate about my result and great to deal with. Consensus seems to be that Tomei drop in's are very mild and lots of people seem to end up dissatisfied.

    So, short version is spacers are on and car is at the aligners. Long version is, much more drama than anticipated. Here's what you need to do/know to fit these spacers. Cut down your existing wheel studs so they do not foul the wheel when mounted (some wheels have provisions for allowing studs to extend in behind them, mine dont). To do this, I threaded a nut onto the stud to help with measuring length, used painters tape to mark the edge, then cut along the egde and then used the nut to help clean up the thread. The tape also holds the cut off section captive for easy clean up - pics below. Put wheel on and get a "rough" idea about where you want it. Difficult for me because the idea is clearance from the shock to get the camber I want and I didn't have time to adjust camber to see. I settled on the base 15mm, but put the kit in the car for the aligner. 15mm seemed to roughly match rear track width. Cut down the spacer extended nuts. They are so long that you cannot tighten the wheel nut up, even open ended nuts, because the socket runs out of depth. the issue is, cut them too short and you lose the ability to space further out if needed. Cut them too long and can't tighten them at the desired length. Also my wheels have centre caps and covers that the studs must clear. Lengthy process... Bolt the whole thing up a few more times and play with clearances. Cut/bolt up, cut bolt up etc. The bolts that hold the spacer to the hub are quite narrow in terms of surface area for a socket to grab and as they recess into the spacer you get less and less bite on them. I struggle to see how you can safely get 72ft lbs on them without damaging the corners of the nut, maybe 6 point socket needed. Pic below doesn't show studs cut but there was easily 30mm cut off each. Pics also doesn't show hub rings fitted, which work well. I went at this like a mad man last night, as it was supposed to be a quick fit then get the missus to help me load it on the trailer. It took easily over 2hrs at a cracking pace and the car was already on stands, wheels off. Shit better work.

    It's thursday motherf**kers. What gives.
  6. No Crust Racing
    Behold in all its 4 stud glory. Handy because the sleeves on the right double as hub centric rings and i was missing 1 (only noticed last night) so I can use these up front and put 2 on the back. Come at me camber.

    Thanks Roy, see how we go. In talking with my fittings guy, he was confident these are a "good" filter and have seen good power on e85 cars.
  8. No Crust Racing
    Yeah may disconnect an end link to test if needed up front. Settings are basic because there's not really much to it. Seat time will trump all mods at the moment. Got the battery reinstalled, cranks nicely. Ctek on lol Front wheels off ready for spacers.
  9. No Crust Racing
    Yeah they were great about it and said the spec for torque is halved on the new stickers. Basically finger tight. They had a new one ready to go for me just in case. Top notch service.

    Champs at local battery place fixed it, will fit it tonight. Ordered spacer kit as I couldn't be sure of 1 size working. Will fit that tomorrow night. Assume I need to cut down standard studs to fit it?
  11. No Crust Racing
    He's suggesting this and said line size will be a restriction before the filter is. https://www.aeroflowperformance.com/fuel-systems-efi-accessories/fuel-filters/inline-filters/af610-05blk
  12. No Crust Racing
    My aeroflow guy is coming back to me with a part number/specs.
  13. No Crust Racing
    $34 for aeroflow push in filter, easy enough.
  14. No Crust Racing
    Ideally just want to make one trip back. Not go in, test without filter, no success, come home, buy more shit etc. The workshop is small so cars cannot sit there waiting for parts and given it's a 2wd dyno means front drive shaft out each time. Thanks for the input, seems the earls and similar are cheap enough anyway.

    @Dose Pipe Sutututu can confirm, plenty other cars doing more power on standard filter. I'm not opposed to changing it, but when others don't need to, it makes me question it. I am happy to put a new one in there either way as it's been a while on 85.
  16. No Crust Racing
    Hmm OK, I'm in two minds about the filter as plenty of others seem to make bigger power with the standard filter in place. Would have been good to know if just a new standard filter would have solved your issue.
  17. No Crust Racing
    Interesting. Do you still have the damper in place or removed it already? What filter did you use? What problems were you having?
  18. No Crust Racing
    Swear to god I was gentle. You cannot write this shit 0_0 Yes I did swear. Speaking to the place I got it from today to see what can be done, didn't want to stuff around with it anymore last night. May buy the GKtech spacer kit also, bolt on with various combo options, as it will give me more clearance up front to run more camber, and then later if I wanna use those other 9" rims up front (which have a worse disc type) I can use the kit to clear the calipers. Being able to run RS-RR in a 255 would be cheaper than running a 235 proper R-Comp and they last longer also. Unless better idea? As for alignment, it had these settings at one point and felt decent. Front/Camber/ToeDriver: -2.75/1mm toe outPass: -2.75/1mm toe outRear/Camber/ToeDriver: - 1.3/1mm toe inPass: -1.3/1mm toe in That was with stock swaybars. The whiteline front bar and GTR rear bar seemed to upset it and made it burn up the outside edge of the tyres (or was I just going faster and didn't have enough camber? dunno). So now with roll centre adjusters up front and maybe a touch more camber, with a softer rear swaybar and the whole subframe and diff swap. I'm thinking maybe a touch more camber both ends but otherwise change nothing else - though I have castor rods now too so max front castor. Guard clearance may also be an issue so we'll see what happens. Tyres will stay the same, old RSR in 235, no budget for fresh ones atm with silvia tune/GTR bill etc.
  19. No Crust Racing
    I'm pretty sure other people are making more power without any of that stuff around. I'll remove the damper in the tank, put a fresh filter on (as it's done 1000k's on e85 now so worth changing for safety I hear) and see where that gets us.

    Alignment hopefully done Friday morning. Thinking I will grab some bolt on spacers preemptively to ensure I can get mad front camber. Tuner tentatively booked for Monday. The event on June 4th is now sold out, but no 2 on reserve list. See how we go.
  21. No Crust Racing
    When I say generic, I just mean a Ryco from Repco. Pretty run of the mill. Is the Nissan one going to be any different really? or just a Ryco/Dayco/Bosh in a Nissan box lol
  22. No Crust Racing
    Has been discussed with Kelford and Tuner, will go back...

    Josh isn't cool with it and I hate the noise. Just for something different I'll take it off the road for a while and spend more money on it...
  25. No Crust Racing
    Fuel filter huh... It's new, but just a generic one. It has been about 1000ks on e85 now, I wonder if it's full of gunk? Best option for replacement?
