Re: kens GC 4g63 sedan - *lots of pics

ive always hated the red paint, never liked the turbo rims on my car either, and the tyre size was all wrong on them. its so much easier to drive and take off in with a smaller diameter tyre on the rear. i have faith in the guy doing the body work. explained to him what results i want etc. removing ...

Re: My GC Hardtop project

i want my vr4 rocker cover looking that shiny. the red is all chipped and flaky so looks ugly. any particular way of polishing them? was thinking just wire wheel on a drill to remove the paint but unsure of polishing techniques

Re: R31 front struts on a Sigma

cheers for the advice jason. yeh i didnt like my chances of having stuff miraculously bolt up. i could try steal my mates LCA off his 180 if they are the same as s13 which im assuming they are as same chassis? then can have a go.

Re: R31 front struts on a Sigma

i thought 15s should clear the SR brakes fine. so idea is to try fit the s13 strut into the galant. if they dont fit which im sure they wont i will see what parts are causing the issue ad try work out a way around it. then if can actually get the strut mounted up i will try source some CA brakes whi...

Re: R31 front struts on a Sigma

he agrees that if any are smaller it will be the CA ones. and he says the CA N/A and CA-T brakes are the same. his 180sx has upgraded to 32 brakes which are larger otherwise would just take my rim to his SR20 brakes :banh: im excited but have low hopes of actually achieving something other than bein...

Re: R31 front struts on a Sigma

my mate seems reasonably sure that atleast one of the s13 brakes should fit 14". assuming its the CA for the smaller size engine. i will give this s13 idea a try in the galant in a month or so and see what i can come up with. bit tricky without heaps of spares of s13, sigma, or galant parts to ...

Re: Rotary or CA18DET into 76 Galant Coupe?

CA is a 1.8 and the SR is a 2.0.... from all accounts the only good thing ive seen/heard of CA's is good bottom end torque. in every other way the SR seems beneficial. its a bit more expensive but worth it if your not doing the rotor. i personally know nothing at all about rotors except their loud a...
