    Ballpark MCA is $1500. Depending on what you want the Bilstein price is all over the shop. You can start by pricing up the dampers which are most of the price. Then pick your springs and go from there with other hardware. Just be careful to ensure you include all the requisite bits to get the job done properly. So: Damper. Spring. Top plate (If you want Eibach springs which I would recommend using in 65mm id) The height adjuster thread and nut(s). Also note the front damper come in two lengths, so work how how low you want because moar low and the longer damper with the standard top mounts is a shit combination. Tein. NFI, sorry.

    Be hard to maintain the hatred for that lot If Dan signs. Would Tool have a no Dan clause in his contract? Questions for the weekend. How many engine blow ups for McLaren? Can they make Q2 with their new aero package? How good will the B Spec Force India be? How many engine penalties for the Renaults? Will Ferrari be competitive? Williams too, how will they go? How much will Hamo beat Britney by?

    Was a good program. Be interested in the size of the bucket of shit he tips on Tool & RedBull in his autobiography.

    Nothing flash.

    Something old and French perhaps? Try the Iron chef.

    In no particular order.. Guessing you have a leak in the hoses or similar in your newly installed intercooler. If you oil light is not on but your guage is reading low its usually the sender unit. Is the light on? Attached up the front is the tmperature sender unit for the climate control. Check the ambient temp on the hvac control panel. Or Shes busted.

    There arent really any shops in Bunbury that specialise in imports. Overwhelmingly parts and the like we get are via the post - either from Japan or from over east and now that I think about increasingly from the US. As for Skylines there would be maybe a couple dozen in town. Guessing youre in Okinawa but from what I understand Skylines in Japan are an increasingly rare sighting nowadays whichever island you may be talking about. Mostly kept for weekends and not so much for the daily grind. Biggest thing on this weekend is the epic surf, not so much in Bunbury but down south a bit. Once in ten year levels according to the locals.

    I dunno fifty five pounds to park your car on the Sunday appears to be awesome value.

    Um, ok. You asked and the answer you were given was it was unlikely to be the Nissan bov's which you went and bought replacements for anyway. So now you get steamed when the same advice is reiterated? Why did you ask in the first place if your mind was made up? Also: Sorry for pointing out an atmo vented bov will upset the ecu. Sorry for providing the link showing the limit for the stock afm's and their obvious replacement with a Nismo item which will bolt up to your arc airbox. Anyway enjoy spending yet more money fitting stuff that will make no difference. Lastly you need a mechanic who knows GT-R's not that youll listen to that either.

    Yeah paint scheme flummoxed me for a while until I realised that it was easy - can in the mid pack is a Force India. Car trailing around to retire is the McLaren.

    http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competition/lb/pdf/skylinebnr32_02.pdf Number 16 if I understand you correctly.

    Cmon man, we are all busy. Just got to prioritise. You know work or post shit on SAU. No contest really.Also the Force it Indias new nose in testing looks funky. Good work whomever thought that up.

    OP appears to like the shiney more than the functionality.

    Well if its for a different sound or whatever then I suppose why not but its usually more money spent for no performance gain. What issue does your mechanic think relates to the bov's - its not clear in the posts. You will max your afms next I would think.

    There are two settings on the boost controller. The output (so boost level) and the gain. The gain is adjusted differently to the output but is inversely related to it - so high boost, less gain is the rule of thumb if I remember correctly. See here. http://www.blitzpowerusa.com/techsupport/pdf/sbc_i-d_iii.pdf

    I have a theory that you match the injector size to the power output - because the more oversize the injector is the harder it is to tune. But other people think otherwise. As for the Nissan blow off valves they are as good as you'll ever need. What makes you think they might be failing? Also if the GReddy ones vent to atmosphere they are going to upset your MAF's on the assumption you are using them.

    Things to do: Take GReddy BOVs and place in wheelie bin. Same for much of the fuel stuff you bought. Not sure why you want all that gear or quite what it is supposed to do for you. This plan was better: - Garrett GT2860R-7's (HKS GT-SS) - 550cc injectors
  19. djr81
    Yes it is.
  20. djr81
    Yeah cause Tool would love that. Hulkenberg deserves the Ferrari drive. Season has been dull. Endless Honda and Renault blow ups and no genuine competition between the MB drivers any more. F1 being F1 they wont even fix it for next year. Highlight of the race was watching the old turbo F1 cars. MP4/2, BT52 etc. Shame others went bang before they could get out there but still far better than the race. They look like proper race cars for a start.

    If you want a hatted rotor with some actual cooling capacity have a look at project mu and Dixcel. The good thing is you can then just replace the rotor and not the hat when the things are worn. Price them up against the DBA's as a start. If you want shiney purple Challipers then there are any number of options almost all the same. If you want callipers not from China (So not challipers) then second hand is a good start point.

    Joey, The Ferrea's are dual springs?
  23. djr81
    Hmm McLaren looking worse this round that they did in Canada. Hard to believe but they have managed it. Something has to give. Either Renault Honda or the rules. Wonder which will be first. My money is on Renault.
  24. djr81
    Come on Troy its not like they have destroyed all their enjoyment of the sport. RedBull Ferrari for 2016?

    Less. I sort of suspect they rolled all the sums for R&D into the costs for the engines etc. So you get a phone number for an RB26 and think well it is a, say, 600hp motor and uses standard rods and standard exhaust manifold etc etc. Even today it is hard to figure out why it would cost so much. Having said that their electronic gear would have been ruinously expensive and they had the best of everything. But a Hollinger costs what a hollinger costs and the cars did without alot of things. Didnt even have in car adjustable sway bars. Their standards were high but no higher than the best of the Sierras or Frank Gardners cars. Would have hated to be the bloke signing cheques for Bob Forbes team.
