Nah it turns too well. It is very twitchy up front. That and it bounces over the road with all the uneven surfaces in the mountains.

Sounds like it could have some epic toe out

think i might have to cut down my drinking.....

nnnaaaaahhhhh

It wouldn't suprise me if it did. I'm getting more circlip grooves machined into the bilsteins so I'll be able to lower to rear more once the suspension is in ill get a wheel allignment done.

dude its a 31 - lower it with an angle grinder

I was going to and I had everything ready to go on Sunday but when I got the springs off I found that they had the same circlip height adjustment as the GTR so I may aswell get it done properly. Saves it handling like a piece of shit and destroying decent shocks.

So the 31 has number plates now. I drove it home through the mountains

YES YES YES YES

Same as before. It doesnt go off the scale it just stays at like 3/4

just a thought - what about picking up an aftermarket water temp guage??

when my 180 decided to spit out its heater hoses at a track day my water guage jumped to 110degrees - whereas my guage on the dash was at like 3/4 - surely it should have been maxing out :down:

Oh is that all? That's only...90? that's no biggie :) just pretend it's not lying :down:

and is that running coolant or water to get so hot you can smell it?

On a 31 3/4 could mean anything from 45deg to 245deg :down:

Bah Colin DID get his licence back before i got my car back :( ha ha

Don't worry, he'll lose it again before you get your car back too :)

will be getting some gauges for eventually. I dont trust the standard ones at all.

Combination of both really.

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
