So I had a nasty clunk, bottoming out and rattle from my front left of the car.

Took it down to pedders and got a 28 point inspection, they said it was the glange nut and tightened it with a metal bar (free) this fixed it but it'll probably come lose again (want $140 to take it out and tighten it). Now I've got a track day coming up in about 3 weeks and there was a few other things that were busted.

He reckons my ball joints are worn, however I took the wheels off and went crazy trying to move them around and couldn't get them to budge, so I'm a bit hesitant.

The radius bushes are worn and the rear sway bar link rubbers are worn (clunk a little). How major is this stuff (def getting the nut fixed up), he seemed to reckon fairly so but of course its his obligation to say so. Recommendations?

Pricing they wanted for everything.

Tighten glange nut $140

ball joints x2 $80-120

rear sway bar rubbers $50-60

bump stops (front were mangled and missing) $87

radius bushes $40-90

what on earth is a glange nut?

anyway....looks like they're asking 450 to replace about 1/3 of your bushes with standard rubber stuff.

If you are interested in track work I reckon you should bit the bullet, spend twice as much and do everything in noltec or whiteline bushes. handling will be out of sight better.

I can't see anything dangerous on that list

Cause its not tight, apparently you cant get to it without taking it out, so they just smacked it with a metal bar or something, I dont really know what Im talking about thats just what they said,

Who would you recommend going to then.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
