Yeah I'll look at getting it done when I get back to Darwin! Wheel alignment is made such a huge differences also This afternoon put the new filter in and bolted up the front pipe (still standard from cat back) It's amazing! Throttle response is up! Standard boost gauge is now reading 7 (is this Okies) definately gonna try to make back to willowbank next Wednesday! Also managed to lock my 1 1/2 yeah old daughter in the car :( stupid auto locking! She didn't mind, got in after a little bit! Need to get a second key cut

Haha, thanks mate.

I'll be a bit disappointed when this is done as I'll have nothing to to rib you about, lol.

Oh, I don't know; I could always revise my stance on paint colour in the meantime... :whistling:

haha can you post up a DIY with instructions for others with that issue?

I removed the faded and cracked rain shield/wind deflector thingies. Unfortunately the weather strips under won't clean up OK, I think I'll need to replace them sometime.

1) Go out in wet weather.

2) Wait for dodgy driver to follow closely behind

3) Brake suddenly & get rear ended

4) Boot latch now works*

* Individual results may vary.

Haha I was waiting at a intersection, lady behind thought there was a gap I should of gone for but didnt see the Ute coming. So she went thinking I was going to take a gap, but ended pushing the lower left bumper in a little.

Dont know how but im happy the boot works.

Just be careful he doesn't involve you in his product test procedure.

    • I know there's been no posts for 3 years, but figured it wasn't worth starting a new thread for my question. The nice Japanese lady in my V36 occasionally/randomly speaks to me whilst I'm driving.  Of course my Japanese is very rusty, I'm guessing it's to do with the Nav system? Anyone have knowledge on this?
    • there are probably many ways to do it for my bosch motorsport abs we used a r33 gtst abs front knuckle and modified the rear knuckle to allow sensor to sit and read understand time, effort and $$ but reading from anywhere else  you get diff chatter etc where you lose 30% ish in signal clarity compared to the above
    • Little more work!  Did some body work on the rear wheel arches and since the paint was a cheap spray job before figured I’d do something to tide me over until I wrap the car.    Colour might not be everyone’s choice but I like it and it’s only temporary, just hate having primer from the wheel arches standing out.    Keeping an eye out for a decent set of wheels to throw on now. Wheels and tires on the car are junk
    • Its likely to be 70% road 30% track usage, track usage will increase if anything. Decided not to fit it as I cant be arsed changing the bushes on my LCAs again 🤣 I did get the below back from GKTech though so they should work together     The anti-squat kit and roll center adjusters work independently since they change the rear lower control arm's angle in different ways. The anti-squat kit adjusts the angle from front to back, which impacts anti-squat values. Roll center adjusters change the angle side to side, mainly to correct geometry on cars that are significantly lowered. They might affect each other a tiny bit, but overall, you can think of them as separate.
    • What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.
