Yeh, my old R31 had these rocker covers on the the later model R32 engine it had. I left them the std R31 colour and just rubbed back to ribbed tops. I think they woudl look better if they were the std R31 colour rather than lipstick red...but meh. By the time they are covered in blow-by wont be able to tell :)

Well my 20G is going to be for sale once the new engine is tuned and run in. It seems 350rwkws is about the mark for a basic Skyline doing track work with E85 these days so need to go to billet or T67 to get there.

God that is a lot of power and going ot be painful to get oil and coolant temps under control :( Whole new suspension and rear end and diff about to go in as well so the car will be like new. Just have to decide whether I want alloy tailshaft or carbon

They are Tein RAs with custome valving and different springs. From memory they are 8F/4R or thereabouts. Need to check. New stuff is the same thing just that they are GTR gear so have the forks rather then eyelets so suit the new rear end I have. The GTR gear is being revalved almost the same as my current gear and I am throwing a bit more spring at the car as I have softer swaybars now that I went from custom Whitelien to ARC so needs a bit more roll control. I may end up going back to custom swaybars if the higher spring rates do things to the pitch that I dont like.

What are they worth. Well RussGTSt is selling very similar Tein REs near new and has had them up for sale for ages as he cant move them...so I guess less then that though my hoarding whore self may just keep them as they are near new and still shiney

Yeh, back in 2001 my car was the development car used by Whiteline to develop their Bilstein kit, swaybars etc. I kept that kit to around 2008 when I changed to the RAs. I almost got the Bilsteins rebuilt to be a little more racey but the Teins being alloy body pretty much sold me on them.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
