Can we have it shipped/trucked up here?  And any idea how much that would cost?  

3:00am Ghostrider do you sleep? lol

1. You would have to get your cross member and rear trailing arms to SA.

2. After modification they would then be reshipped to QLD.

3. 0300, I am a security consultant and work a lot of nights.

4. American Beer? get a few GMD's into you, a six pack goes down like water, but it kicks like a mule.

Can anyone recommend a good Aussie intercooler?? I've priced up DNA + Hybrid + GCG and they are all roughly the same price. Im hoping to fit a GTR size behind my standard front bar (600x300x76 core size).

All the places I have contacted have not been able to give me an exact pressure drop

(I figure it will be about 2psi) or tell me if they have been bench tested. I think DNA will be my final choice, as I have heard good things about them.

I have thought about using a standard R32 GTR intercooler as many people recommend them, but want the w**k factor of a nice new, clean and shiny intercooler behind my front bar. I've been told that R32 GTR coolers only have 0.5 pressure drop across the cooler and that if they were S**t, they wouldnt use them on a GTR, but I'm not convinced.

Re the Shirts - I'd be keen for one - what colour and design????

i went with the hybrid as i got it for $600+postage brand new, i read on the powerdigger site that the hybrid 600x300x75 intercooler had "0.5psi loss at up to 40psi" and can cool around 500hps' worth of air flow. hope that helps!! had the piping made from 2 1/2" press bend mild steel for $450 installed, all up about $1100 fitted..

I would be keen for a shirt.

As for the adjustable rear, I am very interested, just can't be sure of it at the moment, getting a bit of work done to my car at the moment and a bit low on funds so it would be good to know how far away this would be happening.

Alright looking to put coil overs in my car. I see the easiest option to be an s13 setup, changing to a macpherson strut setup in the front using s13 hubs and so on and going to R32 style brakes at the same time. Anything wrong with my thinking here?

Also for the rear I remember reading someone has put s13 rear coil overs in a R30, I just can't seem to find the post, I was just wondering if they bolt straight in or is some type of modification needed?

I have only really had a quick look at a silvia suspension setup so I'm no expert.

Also interested in the replacing of the boots as mine seem to have dissapeared over time, but for a DR30

Cheers for any help

the S13 rear coilovers fit up all good except they are either 2 hole at the top at the back, whereas DR30 are 3. basically u have to drill an extra hole to line up the S13 coilovers at the top. pretty simple job though. just stick one thread in an existing hole, then drill a one that matches up on the other side. i havent done this to my car but todd with DR30 on these forums has, im sure he will pipe up soon to confirm what i just said :rant:

i mite be interested in a shirt depending on it's design and price i guess.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
