yeah i've done it, it's a mission but.... got it sittin at home cause i pulled it off as it was heating up the boot pan too much and has some clearance issues when going over big bumps but it is possible
meh thats repairable..... get some fiberglass guards and new front bumper... go to wreckers get some tail lights and go to panel beaters and get them to replace rear quarters......
Before anyone bites my head off i have done a search and couldnt find and feedback in regards to the pistons...
What i'm wondering is are ACL Race Forged Pistons any good, the reason i ask is i can get an awsome deal on some through a wholesaler so just wan2 see whether they are worth putting into my rebuild.... over say another brand like CP...
let me know when u find out who he is, baseball bats are so old school i prefer the good old axe handle.... i'll go get the car back for ya and some interest on top
yeah dude i work for an exhaust company, which designs exhaust system for earth moving equipment. But the same principals apply, if he reacons there is no difference between mandrel and pipe bends he deserves a swift fly kick to the head. As previously stated mandrel keeps constant ID were as if you pipe bend 2.5" tube you could be reducing it down to 2" or less.. And how he justify's a three inch dump and then 2.5" system is stupid... Turbo's don't like back pressure so 3" is ideal
i work for an exhaust company that designs exhausts for power stations and earth moving equipment boats and trucks.... and i'll tell you first hand the less backpressure u can get the better.... all engines have a maximum allowed backpressure per h2o pressure drop..... but yeah anyone thats says you need back pressure is miles off..... put it this way the less backpressure u have the easier it is for a turbo to spool.... the reason they say there is too big is because once you go beyond a certain point there is too much area and not enough flow to move that amount of air so in cause starts causing backpressure.... so yeah 3" would be ideal for an r32.... the most ideal is 2.75" or 70mm tube work.....
I watched that show and there was consistancy... it wasn't all about the power and speed it was about the allround package, driver comfort, appearance, features, power, handling, affordability everything all round....
i don't get how u want it to look real low and have performance but not worry about handling.... handling=peformance.... at the on of the day if ur going that low you need to replace the shocks to handle being that low.... plue it's ideal to have the drive shafts shortened if going really low.... and you should never lower a skyline more in the back than the front
