  1. Ben most of the adjustable kits come with bolts because they are designed of the offset bushes that provide adjustment. Standard replacements like the noltec ones you mention are the standard size but harder so factory bolts are fine. My guess is any kits that require bolts come with them. As for whether you need adjustable.....only if you want different camber to what you have....
  2. well the hicas light is probably because your steering wheel is not on straight. Do you have an aftermarket one, or have you had a wheel alignment lately? THere is a sensor in the wheel for HICAS, when the wheel is crooked it thinks you are driving in circles so it throws the error light. BTW I have no idea what you mean by the 2nd bit
  3. Haven't seen any nissan badges with pins. pretty dodgy eh?
  4. well played good sir
  5. Eric, you should talk to Chris at MX5 Racing about wrecking it, you have his details. They would appreciate a straight front end for a change....not many cars end up with damaged rears.... I know they have at least one car to replace from the big crash Kel was in last year.
  6. actually, I'd expect the upper arms with cheap bearings to last even worse on the street, than they do on the track. they have bad clearances in the bearings to start, then get a bit dirty, gets worse pretty quickly. rose joints are really designed for track work with regular inspection and replacement
  7. umm you can't change your tyre if you get a flat? my suggestion....get a set of metric an imperial impact sockets. bash the ones that just fit on hard, then undo it. throw the lock nut in the bin and repeat 19 times. put normal wheel nuts on, or locknuts you have a key for. or just throw your spare tyre and jack out. no point lugging it around.
  8. OMG benm has an impostor! I would start by looking for a boost leak, especially if it is not idling properly. there are lots of vacuum hoses and a single split could cause an issue.
  9. I appreciate the offer, pm sent.
  10. so WTF is an MA09ERT? I have one downstairs?
  11. you replaced the rack....did you try replacing the pump? sounds like it is dying and pushing variable amounts of pressure
  12. are you certain you are checking for flow at the right fuel hose? you need the one that does not connect to the fuel pressure regulator, ie the one with the filter in it. where are you disconnecting the fuel hose to check?
  13. when you say knonck...do you mean on the powerFC or a regular noise from the engine directly? If its the former just get it to a workshop, if its the latter start saving
  14. some ill judged posts removed. please keep this thread sensible. and while on the topic, while I'm not suggesting the driver is covering himself in glory now, remember he was just as innocent in the accident.
  15. you mean this sivlia??
  16. mine snapped due to an oil pressure problem. you would expect lots of other things to fail first but that wasn't the case this time.
  17. yeah that's Brian's trailer, he towed the red r32 gtr down on it.
  18. looks pretty healthy to me for a 100000klm car. Missfire could be a lot of things, but most of all it is a chance to bargain the price down. whatever it is, it is probably not expensive or internal.
  19. yeah a great piece of road, very quick a hillclimb, it is up to 3 lanes wide in places. unfortunately I can't be there, got my weekends wrong, this clashes with the state champs at eastern creek. good luck aza!
  20. yeah mate, it was and by a long way, about 1 sec I guess the new track is quicker and those tyres are great. sid....put your bloody name in your profile or I will call you speedwhore for ever! Almost certainly just a bad batch of fuel, even so I would get yavuz to take a little timing out of the midrange for safety. Octane booster does very little....each bottle is 0.1 of an octane rating, so 1 bottle in a tank of 98 only gives you 98.1.....
  21. F stands for f**ked if I know. I was in that one. I can see Street, Club and Open in the rules: http://www.island.net.au/~rdavies/renew/2011%20Lap%20Battle%20Championship%20Regs%20-%20final%20draft.doc Congrats on your time today, you were damn quick and I wish I could catch you lol
  22. I'm scared of you liz. And you are scared of chinese toilets. where will this end?
  23. yes but not in the standard location, i run a remote filter and oil cooler
  24. yeah sounds right...I had to run a seperate earth on mine too. most sandwich plates run an o-ring to the block so they are not earthed.
  25. your stagea has hicas? my s1 does not? but yes I guess any lock bar will work, they are all around the same size, you adjust the tie rod length to suit.
