Your ride height is far from low

if i had stiffer suspension it wouldnt bottom out.

these bilstiens, while being hard compared to std shocks, are spongy

writeoff can attest that when i was going to moonta last year, we'd hit a dip and my entire exhaust would bottom out on the tarmac and shoot a tonne of sparks, so much so that it ripped apart one of the welds on my muffler

its not about how low it is, its about how the ride height interacts with the suspension - i'd be fine if I had totally stiff suspension but thats not the case

-D

Need coilovers

would be nice, but i need something thats street legal - got any tips on something that

a) rides nice on the street

b) is legal (or can be engineered)

c) is firm enough to handle well

d) doesnt bottom out

I got bilsteins atm but theyre the basic version (and probably getting long in the tooth)

If it wasn't an issue of legality I'd just buy the ISC coilovers and be done with it

-D

*plugs antenna back in*

Safe to assume an 02 sensor shouldn't be doing that an its probably farked?

/noob

Thanks!

Well actually yes that's what a narrow band O2 sensor will do when the engine is in closed loop mode. If you look at the voltage output from a narrow band sensor there is a big difference in the voltage between 14.6 and 14.8 and all the ECU does is aim above till it gets a low voltage and then aims below until it get's a high voltage, so by constantly going above and below it averages 14.7 which what we are looking for.

Just buy my Teins man, awesome awesome handeling, ride height was fine and never bottomed out on anything, legal, and is easily streetable - Ticks for every box :laugh:.

Like I said I'm in no rush to get them out of my garage and your more then welcome to put them in to see if they're what you want :(.

ahh brew ur twisting my arm eh brew

ok, are they off your car? I might see if my mechanic can fit it next week for me to test - I'll take it to and from loxton with your permission

-D

manage to find all my stock parts for my suspension. Hopefully i can get it cleared by the end of next week.

Main thing im worried about are the gauges, and fitting up a brake light to the rear window.

Yeah they're from my car man.

I don't see a problem with you taking them to and from Loxton, I'm sure someone has some details about you incase you do a runner - LMAO

*points to trader rating*

and sled knows where i live haha

can I ask what steering wheel you had and what reason theyve given for it being illegal?

I have a rear window brakelight out of a 32-R that you can borrow if need be. Ive been too lazy to put it in mine. Only need power and double sided foam to make it work.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
