Haha okay cheers scotty well in the mean time it all seems to be going well *touches wood* I'm not after massive power, I play with plenty at work, just wanting reliability/no issues with the mods i've got.

Anyone live near blacktown and want to be my plan c?

trying to grab a bargain and i'll be coming through sydney in about 10 days

so if either of my two friends can't get to it who would want to pick up some suspension for me and pay for it (its retardedly cheap at $100) and i'll give you the money when i come down plus something for your troubles

hey tom, im near blacktown so any problems send a pm or if goldzilla cant do the pick up. :action-smiley-069:

Ok suspension is now in my friends possession, misread the add so instead of $100 it was $200 but the guy gave them to me for $175

So now i have a full set of Bilsteins (to suit gtr, so not 100% ideal but i can deal with it) with king springs (not perfect but...)

Plan is:

Get shocks from friend

Drive to TAS

Source some strut tops (only thing missing from the shocks as the mechanic who installed the guys coilovers took them off for some reason)

Create a set of shocks with Eibach springs (currently on the car) and Bilsein shocks

and another set with my Impul shocks and the King springs

Set Bilsteins to lowest setting

Win at life (hopefully)

Also, the Bilsteins are yellow to match my car :)

So anyone with some applicable strut tops, sell them to me please

You going to get them serviced before putting them in? I loved my bilstein setup with Nismo springs.....was awesome!

Nice win btw!

Yeah pretty stoked at the moment, how much does getting them serviced cost?

Unfortunately the tops will be missing for a reason. Many suspensions sets don't come with tops and you have to reuse the existing ones.

So if you are swapping your standard ones over just reuse the tops from those. If you don't have the standard ones....they are very hard to find because everyone needs them! Sometimes the easiest way to get a set is to buy some second hand standard shocks just for the tops :(

Put some tyres on my 18's as I was running stockies.....changed those over then installed my system alpine splits and tweeters with a alpine amp also hooked up my spare cadence sub and mono block.... Also washed it lol.....

I actually asked fatz on fb and he has some!

Any chance of an r31/states owner combo super mighty lowball fatz?

Installed and set up my shiny new boost controller

Will need to change my spark plugs now I think, feels like spark is sometimes breaking down between 3-4k rpm, think its because my current plugs are gapped at 1.1mm

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
