Oh and another impulse buy off a fellow forum member last weekend... TIEN springs! just finished fitting them today! 3 late afternoons and evenings to get it done - was a back breaking fun time consuming learning experience!

I got one!

R31 drift pig: I got the ebay version of the seat that your selling! I've turned it into an office chair :domokun:

nice glasses vu

3 days to do springs LOL. hey, but ya gotta learn somehow.

Ta! They're actually goggles... I dont want any random bolts taking my eyes out haha

It took something about 12 hours all up I reckon... the first 4 hours on the first day I didnt have the right sockets had to wait til the next day to get it so I spent that 4 hours removing the shocks the springs came with as well as removed the backseats + parcel shelf and factor in time sitting around admiring how sexy the car is. The next day was spent doing the first corner... did a few things wrong which was time consuming to undo and redo again! Then today the rest was a breeze!

Thats pretty impressive Vu.

I'd never attempt something like that myself on a nice car.

Also how'd you change your username?

I like to get hands on down and dirty :domokun:

You can have your username changed in this thread:

Ill reckon most people will pass. Double Demerits this weekend and the 5-0 will be out in force. Same as next weekend too.

And bollocksing woot to finishing @ 11 on a long weekend! :banana::)

Just got a clean xf s-pack auto, 4.1 efi with 230,000 im the 3rd owner and its always been parked under a car port only paid $1200 :D its a daily and tow car but already im looking for 17inch AU XR8 mags and putting my 2x12inch subs in and dropping her 1.5 inch all way around.

You will need spacers for it if you use AU+ rims because the offset will be wrong. i have a NC fairlane and tried to put a set of rims on it and the offset was way off.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
