More updates for the diary Went to Kaizer motors early saturday morning to have the beast alligned, front went back to being fine but the rear wouldnt go any further back in than 2.5 degress camber also whilst there enquired about the rear subframe bush, Sly was confident it wast a huge job so got on the phone to Cougar store and ordered the Whiteline rear subframe kit and Eibach rear adjustable camber arms and toe bolts, booked in with Sly this week to have the rear subframe dropped and all bushes fitted along with the Eibach goodies and re alligned back to normal After visiting Kaizer (Very proffesional i must add and a lovely workshop! not to mention huge amounts of Nissan certificates and awards) i went to Surrey Vinyl Wraps to have my roof and front bumper bottom bar wrapped in gloss black, also had my front grill sprayed gloss black at works bodyshop to make it tie in with the bar. Here are the results Thinking of doing the mirrors and rear spoiler in gloss black to just waiting on a few photoshops to come back to me to make a decision What you think? Cheers Arran

Meant to keep oil pressure 30% better, mark at abbey uses them as standard and reckons they work so 14 is nothing really to give one a go. If it works great if not at least it looks cool

I paid 14 for my hks oil filter, today 42 for my silkolene pro s an don't need plugs just yet.

Seems cheap to me, normally 50 for silkolene pro s, filter 10 and spark plugs about 65

Excellent il ring before that, getting my roof wrapped in half hour so will call you when I'm there.

As above really Mitz/Andy Need to call you guys about some more parts needed for a big job next Thursday If your open il call around 12.30-1pm Cheers Arran

You reckon il be alright for a week mark? If I choose to switch them over beforehand

Look like silenced decats to me

Thats cool then, as long as its not detrimental to the cars health then for a week it will be fine. Contemplating just taking the cats with me and if i need to swap them over when im out there then i will

Cheapest i found was Cougarstore on here mate, 135 delivered. At least you know youll get the correct genuine product and a fast delivery time, worth the extra £12 imo

I got them from here a member was selling a new pair so i snapped them up quickly

Still have to meet EU emissions i believe fella, thinking of taking my decats with me, trolley jack and tools and swapping them over when we get to stelvio pass and nurburgring

Thinking I might just run the decats anyway, just wondering what would happen if we get stopped aboard though

Evening all Basically I'm going to be travelling through various different countries in Europe next month and am thinking of putting my cats back in, incase we get pulled over. Question is mine is mapped for decats so if I was to put them back on without readjusting the map how will the car run, maybe over fuel or run lean? Anybody know Cheers Arran

Cheers Yeah the coilovers make a big difference, still on softest setting for now though until theyre run in, then il play around with them

How much you reckon it would be to replace Alex? Labour wise

I think the front diff bushings are fine it's just the rear one then, If that can be done on the car that's a relief! Might see who can do it soon as

Noticed last night that theres some black fluid leaking from a diff bush, How much of a bitch is this to replace? Also how much do you reckon it will hamper performance? Its the bush pictures above the diff brace http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m15/z33_drift_king/007-27.jpg Theres some polybush or solid rear bushes ive seen, but need to get an idea on labour first as im off to nurburgring next month Cheers Arran

So another update for the books Put the HSD coilovers and Eibach spacers (25mm rear and 20mm front) on last week, let them settle for a week until after work tonight as i wanted to just the coilover height and make sure all the spring preloads were equal etc, removed all the suspension and measured everything and adjusted accordingly, the rear was left the same height as it was perfect from the first fit but the front i wanted down another 10mm roughly, found the perfect front height after adjusting them down 7mm, specific i know but now its perfect still got the damping adjustment set on full soft so the coilovers can bed in (100 miles) then il go and find a big space to play with the damping settings so i get it spot on before nurburgring, great thing about the HSD's is the damping is adjustable via a knob on the top mounts so its literally 30 seconds to adjust each shock Cant believe the difference both parts have made to the car both ride/height wise and cosmetic looks, really really pleased! Heres some pictures from this evening of how she stands now There we have it for now, This weekend il be going to Kaizer motors to get the allignment sorted then off to Surrey vinyl wraps to have the roof, mirrors and front bumper lower bar wrapped in gloss black. Looking forward to another transformation Stay tuned folks Arran

Excellent all I need, look like the £180 for pulleys is going to have to go on a new conti sport rear tyre nice big nail in it! If the set you keep in stock is still there next month mate il most likely have it

Il take two please Stu, happy to pay whatever for them

That's a lovely looking kit!

They're not going to upset the harmonic balancer in the long run/daily driving I take it?

I've got plenum spacer, velocity stack/hks filter, art pipes and exhaust with uprev so these are the last thing to do really I suppose. **** it 2.Arran
