here is a picture I took, Jelly beans here we come

From what I can guess ( because I am just not that good) the new wheels are plus 25mm off set, I do know that they are 14x6 which should add 6.5mm of track.[/img]

Funny you should mention that because as of next Thursday, I will be getting a set of Pedders Springs to bring the body 2 inches closer to the ground, with this upgrade I am also purchasing VL shockers for the rear.

For those wondering the Monroe part number is 15-3137+ . The only mod to fitting these shockers is trimming the crush tube a couple of mm.

are the VL shocks stiffer or something?

The VL shocker is 27mm shorter which is particularly more suitable for lowering 2 inches then a standard shocker.

Well I did a full service since having the Exa on the road, and lets just say it runs much better then before.
I am now also some $200 down in funds as a result, with the most costly pieces from Nissan, being the dizzy cap and rotor.
With a bottle of Redline Oil's injector cleaner and the car runs like a million dollars.

I can beat Commodores again YAY!!!

its well worth it. i paid $40 bucks for a second hand blinker lever from the wreckers... I was also tempted to buy a new one from nissan... but they were asking $270 and that wasnt even the full unit. i also paid $70 for an idle adjustment and new BOV spring once before... i could of almost done it myself with buying 2 cases of beer and a spring

good stuff mate, glad your happy with her again...

Cheers,
Dex

Well the subs are out now, too much weight for me, I have sold the subs to my brother who is putting them into two different cars. In return I have began to weld brackets to mount the sub and amp securely in the car, I will try and get pictures soon.

Ok so the audio rack has been on hold for this week.

I have had some problems with general running.

- Earlier this week I change injectors and did the valve clearances.
- Wednesday I dropped my original injectors to be cleaned and flow tested at Carby Tune & EFI Specialists - They came back all good.
- Relocated the fuel pressure regulator from under the intake manifold.

Today
- Change injectors for reconditioned ones, change O rings too as the old ones were leaking under boost and vacuum.
- I replaced the cold start sensor which locates in the Thermostat housing.
- Bought and used a recoil kit for the T25 compressor housing outlet, as one of the three was stripped of thread.
- Changed rocker cover breather and various other lines.
- Made a new turbo outlet gasket which has been bolted down and sealed with silicone.
