just a quick correction about a misconception about the shift kits that some of us have had fitted. having a shift kit fitted will actually lower the operating temperature of an automatic box. the faster shifts may cause a little bit more wear on some components, but seeing as the gear changes are so much quicker the box will spend less time in the gear change sequence and therefore less time heating up (slipping) the clutches which is what heats up the oil.

i had my kit installed at MV's and they said with S2 stageas and R34's they have to be set correctly otherwise they can upset the engine ecu by changeing gears to quickly which seems to pull the timing back to far. mine is set pretty spot on as flat out gear shifts bring on the traction control for a second and if the traction control is turned off it will chirp the tyres.

      Like a big hood scoop, and massive whiney boy supercharger? Think he'll sell it to me at my offer above? I could probably get it to $75 if he needs a little more convincing 馃槢

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a T脺V inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
