Can you drift though? Or are you just a power oversteer kid right now? Not picking shit, just I can see more value in mods to help you get better...

wat mods u have in mind josh.? im more than eager to learn as i wanna join some of my mates on QR once a month or so..

Mark, if your task manager is still f**ked, here's something you can try.

Start -> Run -> regedit

You're looking for the following two values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr

If they exist, delete them. Should give you your taskmgr back. If not, I can give you a version of taskmgr that I've modified a little bit so that it doesn't look to see if it should be disabled or not and just runs anyway.

sounds rough though...

but wat if u cant get the filter off like in the GTR sometimes.. wat u gonna do then..?

struggle, swear and hit it until it comes loose :laugh:

and when it does come off, replace it with a filter relocation kit!

ahve u come across a filter so tight that ur tool only crushes the casing? this is how my one was in the 26, so had to resort to the screw driver

No offence, because I have never met you, but you'r an anal person when it comes to doing things?

Pulling the filter off an rb is easy, when you can pull one off a 1jz, you realize how easy everything else is.

Nothing wrong with using a screwdriver, its old, you don’t keep the old filters dude haha

Noel and Shane are right though, it is being a pussy. Don't own these cars, if you can't bare to see things brake.

Lee's car looks like a good, clean conversion. I'm not sure what is done do it, however you won't need to do any power steering work just for the odd day out there.

I would be looking at at bigger sumps, and oil coolers first to help keep the motor alive, then decent suspension, and mech diff then brakes if it doesn't already have skyline brakes

im not really concerned about things breaking.. well i am. but i dnt mind as i fix it myself.. but still 6k for a BNR32 halfcut aint appealing.. and neither is hitting something lol. but as most knw i barely drive the GTR.. and a S13 panel is 1/10th of the price of a GTRpanel.. :(

its got an oil cooler. but its not a good one.. also its suspension isnt too great but.. that will be fixed.

its GO R33 NA brakes.. so 5 stud come on later on..

STILL RB POWAH.. love RB :laugh:

and wat do u mean by anal.. ? :laugh:

I do things a little backwards to most people, and maybe “OD” in some area’s, that others don’t see the need.

It’s not an ASAP item, but I would look into a sump baffle, and fitting a much bigger and better oil cooler.

Then, coilovers + all the fruit, 2 way lockers make drifting so much more controllable and predicable, but having had a few I suggest learning to basic’s before getting one, as they can catch you out.

I assume the car already has a decent clutch.

I have, I personally found the 1jz one to have less room. I don't use a hoist, maybe that makes the jz ones easier.

By anal I meant, just from reading whore town, you seem worried? a lot about Lee's car. I duno if this is case?

At the end of the day, its a sports car, that’s had another sports car's motor, that’s bigger shoved into it, hybrids do brake..

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
