Well the tranny just gave up today on the Falcon work car so dropped it off to the good guys at All States Transmissions in Edwardstown. Thought it may have needed a service and a new solenoid but found a handfull of shavings from the clutches in the pan. Without a tranny cooler and towing a caravan, I think she cooked..........$2K for a c/o tranny. :w00t:

I suppose someone out there is going to tell me that I could've saved $500 elsewhere......then you'll see a grown man cry!

id get adjustable shocks, if u get super low king springs, it will be too low, and if u get normal kings, you will either sometimes want higher or lower. if you have long term plans of track racing or track work, invest in some ISC coils, i have ISC N1's and i love them

Kinda noobish question here, but whats the difference between springs and adjustable shocks and coilovers?

springs and shocks are seperate items: the spring is fitted to the sock absorber, whereas coils are the single item. basic answer, an expert can go into details.

got the week off so started by taking of my timing belt cover and coil pack cover... painting it in gold engine enamel..... its getting minor orange peel effect :w00t: but who cares it will look better than the chipped black

    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
