on the weekend i went drifitng and managed to do the front LHS (passenger side) lower control arm/sway bar and also the stabilizer arm (i brok eem right off). Went to the local import halfcut place and found out these were the same identical to the r32 gtst ones and got em for 300 bux.

I also noticed teh tie rods were also teh same size as well.

Hahahahaha!  I didnt find that funny until you quoted it!  HAHAH!  Classic, made my day!

hahaha.. yeah was funny till i coulnt counter steer in time (lack of damn power steering didnt return the steering wheel in time) and my car landed on the kerb. :skull:

The undercover copper was right there when i drifted around the bend. He saw the whole thing. HAHAHA

CC rocks around the corner behind me to find the car on the kerb.

Told him it was a "mechanical failure" that i somehow managed to go sidewayz around the bend at 70km/h in peak traffic and land on the bend. Still he was a top bloke thou let us go. Heck he had no proof anywayz.

Lol ceffo -

you have a bad memory :tool: :P

He suggested that "noone else was involved, no property damaged, if you can get it towed I dont have to call highway patrol."

He was a top bloke and had PLENTY of proof. ie. copper being a witness is as good as 5 witnesses.

You're just downplaying how lucky you was.. if it had been me I would have been getting butt****ed right now. :whip:

Either way I'm glad it ended how it did now we can live another day and-

:rave:

bahahaham funny stuff.

A fair few months back we went drifting in an industrial estate in brissie. We had been hitting this truck turn around (hairpin) all night. I got a tad ****y, came out of it and kept trying to go from side to side up the street, ended up in a ditch on the side of the road.

Cops came and i said, my car broke down and i forgot to put my handbrake on and it rolled down the hill. He tried the "you can tell me mate, i am a car enthusiast as well, except i like v8's" I kept to my word and we got our names recorded and I was left to feel sorry for myself in peace!!!!!

Funny stuff!!! But my poor lil onevia need a bit of cosmetic work after that! lol, still needs some

Copied & Paste this from NS.com

s13 tierods are 12mm, and the shortest of the lot

s14 tie rods are 14mm and are slightly longer, but can be used in s13 but are around 10(ish) mm longer
s15 tierods are 12mm and are longer than s14 for some reason, tried them in a s13 but had monster toe in.
r32 have both 12mm and 14mm tierods, so you need to check before you buy, and SHOULD be the same length as s13

Surprised know one has actually stated that Cefiro's only use M14. Unless you are using an S13 rack of course.

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
