Most shops are not specialists in 31's or 13's. SOooooooooooo Chances are you'll pass easily.

You boys hsould just get a mobile roady guy to do it for you. They care not for such discrepancies

R31 tie rod ends into S13 spindles looks spectacularly dodgy. You either have a castle nut with no split pin in it, or an upside down caslte nut, either way you don't get many threads on it. Thats the sort of thing I would expect to fail a RWC, but hey, I may be wrong :banana:

be careful where you say that... that's enough to be stripped of your 31 club membership :P

Not if he re-uses oil and a filter from his GTR or something

Anyone who's not working/busy on Thursday and wants to come on this drive:

let me or Jason know. We'll be leaving from the BP at Aspley at 9am.

hmmm... might take a 'strayen day...

GTR filter didnt fit :P Had to use an old one of dads...

Yeah tie rods will look dodge. I'll see if I can find a rubber cover for the castle nut lol

looks like a decent drive, but I will have to sort out my camber a bit before i do any fun runs, as the tyres scrub lightly on hard corners.

Man up. My tires scrub heavily on light corners, doesn't stop me :P

so do mine. I usually just steer with the back end instead.

The noise drives me nuts though.

And having 225's on 10 inch rims, I really don't have much confidence in the tyres staying on the rim if I corner particularily hard

I might get some gtr guards though, so will be able to put decent sized rubber on the fronts

ps. still got the flu, so another day of ps3. got god of war last night, so will give that a workout. just gotta summon up the energy to go for a bourbon run...

skip the boring highway bit...

Go from Aspley up through Petrie, head to Dayboro and then over Mt Mee...

This will bring you out at Woodford...

This way you skip all the boring highway bits and Mt Mee is an awesome ride/drive...

As from Woodforf the rest is good stuff, out to Kilcoy down the back of sommerset and over Mt Glo & Nebo and home...

Looks like my average northside Sunday ride...

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
