KYB's and GABs are bottom of the range. stay well clear

ive got GABs on my car and while it handles well its very stiff ride. go for a local product - bilstein or konis, japs didnt have our shitty roads in mind when they designed their shocks/coilover systems

[Nizmo]

hmm yes im trying to get something decent in there - it k i'll sort it.

[adam 32]

john at wheels world normally has this kind of thing in stock. if you need it in a hurry hed be worth contacting if not for the work, just for the supply of the items. tell him what other places have quoted you and he will normally beat that price. hes very good

[Nizmo]

thanks

Hows your beast going - getting fixed?

[caminperth]

Adam - what did u bust on your R32?

[adam 32]

not yet. the head has to come off for inspection of the valves and thats a fairly big job. am trying to rally together a team of mechanics to do it in the garage at home cos i havent got enough money to pay a workshop to do it. will have to take it from there, hopefully its just a valve which needs replacing in which case i should be able to get it fixed fairly cheaply. theres just alot of labour involved thats all

[adam 32]

valve/s

[Nizmo]

yes im torn between wanting the best for my car and being a tightarse cos i cant afford the best for my car.

But i learnt from the ZX - mates rates are not a good thing! specially with these kinds of cars - its good if u have mates that actually know what they are doing instead of mates that have worked on everything but an import. hehe so im determined to do it right this time even if i have to save doubley hard to get what i want in the bloomin thing!

[caminperth]

bugger - expensive stuff alright...

[Nizmo]

i find it more expensive to fix other peoples mistakes haha e.g took ZX to service dept working fine but with fuel smell 3 weeks later pick it up because they had pulled it apart and did nothing with it - car barely worked just got it to another dept 20mins away. hmmm then it took $700 to fix the other depts mistakes and get it working again. refused to pay the other dept.

[caminperth]

not good... how the hell did they screw the ZX that badly? $700 is a hell of alot of labour...

[Boostzor]

Trying to buy a good car fro this price range sux, like alot. Ive been searching intensively for almost a week and i got nothing at all i like and can afford.

*sigh* should have kept the soup:(

[Nizmo]

they were so lazy putting it back together that some of the bolts from the manifold were left under the windscreen wipers. Nissan workshop but not one that deals with imports - dont think they had a friggin clue what they were looking at - in that case they should of told me before they proceeded to pull it apart. Then they tried to hit me up for $250 worth of labour i just was a wreck at that time so my ex sorted them out and went absolutely sick at the guy - classic. we didnt pay it luckily just the $700 to fix the mess.

[adam 32]

yeh well me macka shannon and paul are all going to attack it this weekend. along with tristan a guy i know from work whos rebuilt his RB25 and various other engines and knows his shit. fingers crossed it comes together alright

i prefer doing it myself, that way if anything goes wrong theres no-one else to blame but yourself. and if you take your time doing it its easy to do a professional job
