Are these JDM ceramics ?

Heres the mkiv.com one for the headlights.... http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/headlights/index.html

Just to let you know that it was indeed the link pin and my car is now as tight as a ....................drum So, I had many knocks which were sorted by new shocks and this ARB link pin. Hope you sort yours. PS. Not 'taking the micky' but it is usual to post follow ups in the original thread, makes it easier to follow and keeps it tidy Welcome to the BBS

I tried it the pipe method. Didn't like it at all. (On a 6 speed). No low down power. I think it's mainly good for track racing, when you keep the revs highish, smooth power delivery. no good for quick starts. and not supposed to be good on an auto without stall. Main thing......no dump valve at 2K ! I know you're not into this but I just love it

Have you checked the anti-roll bar link pins. One of mine is shot making a knock, that I can feel (!) over uneven surfaces at low speeds. I ordered a new one 48 + vat. I'm pretty sure it's this anyway, as it is well gone. I'll soon find out.

Glad you got it sorted . Sounds like a top bloke.

Is your gutted cat definately clear ?

You did scroll along Ash ? I see all of you and another couple of cars beyond.

Wow. Thanks pal. That's made my day

I have to say, that black r34 gtr was an absolute b**tard ! of a car ! Nice pics Peter

Great meet. More pics here...... http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=25&t=6388&st=0

Martin, I did enquire with a couple of people. Thing is the nuts, which hold the spring up (?!) were also corroded/rotten and actually came apart in my hands. So it would have been a lot of work to get them sorted. I was also told by our resident suspension expert that they were probably bin fodder. I still have them if anyone wants them ? They are a bit of a mess (95k,10yrs). I'm gonna chuck them soon, so let me know. I'm well happy with the H&Rs though. I think the Teins (when new) are more suited to track driving (speculating). btw. They are the Tein HRs which are not damping adjustable. Cheers

I just want to throw in my recomendation for the height adjustable H&R Coilovers. Had them a couple of months, went from knackered Teins. Very impressed. Wouldn't change a thing. Firm but not harsh........ Cost around 800 from Ibrar. I think the Whiteline kit is possibly stiffer though (just an impression I get), but just about anything would be softer than the teins I had. Also I think the Whiteline kit is more than just shocks and springs. The car doesn't seem to needs anything else suspension wise though. She has done 95K.

Fellas, I'm finally about to get my wheels fitted and wondered if anyone might know what wheel nuts I should use. I know somebody on here has a set but I can't find them (via search). Any help appreciated, Cheers, Gordon.

Daneway, I had clonking / knocking as I went over speed bumps / poor road surfaces. I replaced the shocks (with H&R coilovers) and it's more than sweet now.

Nitro's (?) car looks fantastic

Just to add. I had knocking for ages. Replaced the shocks and voila

I didn't attach the shielding to anything and it works fine.

I've just replaced my 100k mile teins with some height adjustable H&R Coilovers from Ibrar (http://www.pro-alloys.co.uk). I'm very pleased. The car now feels like the 40 grand luxury sports car that it is rather than the knocking, rock-hard, old race car from before. Firm but comfortable. Just took a bloke for his ride in a Supe and he was surprised at the comfort and handling.

oops........

Green Rat Jizzum ! And it doesn't taste nice ! Funny that !

Excellent. Cheers I'll give it a go

Fellas and Fellettes (?!?), Has anyone had any success in blackening the stock bumper splitter / trim and maybe the active spoiler ? I don''t really want to spray them, unless I have to. I've tried the usual Back to Black stuff without any real joy. Cheers. G
