Hmm might be interesting, I'd be keen to see it if/when it's set up.

I've long wondered about how they'd go with a Vortech-style blower on the side though - simple exhaust, no lag and can be set to make good boost from very low rpm :D

stockymcstock from down south has a twin charge system on his skyline :D

For your mate, $30k. It is regarded as the best looking IS in OZ. And is maintained to that high standard.

Fark that sexy but no i cant help you out he was looking more in the 20K market lol.... but if i show him he will still be drooling.... cant hurt right :D

Ahahah lee you are one sneaky bastard, i love it! i need some housbricks to steal the rims of the landcruiser across the road :D

but seriously that would still cost a bit to buy rims, then special tyres to clear the defect.

Maybe i could seal the boot and pump the car full of helium :D

lol dude you hav another option....

depanding on how much you have to raise it... get your self a set of old rims and put high profile tyres on them this will raise the car.....

eg... 225/45/r17 was 11cm swaped rims and tyres 205/65/r15 ride height changed to 16cm, just do this to clear the defect then put the old rims back on.....

not special tyres it think its like 500 for a set with steel wheels and retreads...

but i'd go get the stocko's from shanes place, i'm sure you and John could work something out... like say you take them and he can go get stuffed :(

isaac, i have john's old stock suspension at my place u can use to get by. let me know when u can get out my way and ill whack them in for you :(

thanks for the offer shane. Could solve my problems, but heres the problem. I fly back home on a monday - 19th, must present car for inspection to cops by 23rd- that friday. Can you do it on a weeknight? (assuming you have one of those cushy 9-5 jobs :D wish i had one :D ) I could obviously bring the car to you.... guess it wouldn't take long to install stock suspension?

The locknut is busted on the coilovers on the right rear but as the adjusting nut is siezed i dont think its ajusting anywhere atm :D ... i hope :D guess if that goes when i'm doing 110kph on the motorway i'll have some brown trowsers lol

its 10cm unless things have changed. My car passed inspection at queensland transport at the height it was, yet i got defected by the police a year later go figure? The only point of my car that is lower than 10cm is the rear part of the exhaust, its 8cm off the ground.. the bodkit etc is 13cm at its lowest point (i know cos i measured it aaaages ago).

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
