Project Dittohead Red
Just double checking myself as I'm sure I'm binding on the FUCA tonits mount. Have I cocked the instal up on these? I know there's a set way to fit them (which I can't find) I'm sure I researched it but you know...

Who is REO for that area?

Turbo Rebuild Thread
That really depends on what turbo it is, few hundred each side for a journal bearing turbo. If it's a BB style turbo I'm afraid most of the time that's a new CHRA which is more expensive. Sorry.

Engine Rebuild - Need advice
What do want to achieve?

Local Turbo rebuilders
Having a pair of rebuilt stock turbos I wouldn't bother next time. Much better options for similar price or a bit more.

Local Turbo rebuilders
Are you rebuilding stock turbos? Unless you find a very cheap price I'm not convinced it's worth the bother.

Recommend a good set of lowering springs and spacers.
This is the case for Euro/UK and US spec cars, JDM cars had a square set up even on the TT. I believe there was a reason for this, something to do with Japanese law... something to do with tyre profiles I think. JDM twin turbos didn't have all the same stuff as UK etc which were a higher spec.

Project Dittohead Red
Just trying to make my mind up wether to pull the trigger on 15 or 20mm spacers for the rear, I needed a minimum of 10 for the fitment I wanted and the clear the brakes, however I currently have a camber of 0 believe. Think the 20s would require a slight flare as my arches are already rolled. I had the alignment done a spring or two back but didn't correct the Caster as they couldn't do it and it turns out they set it up as a Z31 :taz:

Idle control valve adjustment
I can't remember, you do it the engine running anyway so you will hear. You can turn it quite a bit before it goes mad.

Idle control valve adjustment
Unless you've checked recently I almost guarantee you will have a small leak somewhere.
-
Snow ??
Maybe up north, down here it's still pretty mild. Been local (by my standards anyway) today. Bit of cold wind but you've got to be used to a breeze by the sea. Perfectly comfortable in a tshirt today and needed sunglasses on the way home from work.

Idle control valve adjustment
You need to warm it up first then unplug the connection and set it to iirc 600rpm, upon replugging it will pop up to 750rpm. You should check the throttle position sensor, timing and for boost leaks first. Mine sits about 850/900rpm, but I know my base timing is wrong for idle as such due to the neutral switch buisness with the conversion.

Swb bumper on lwb
I've been thinking recently about the proportions of the swb bumper in comparison. Nissan for some reason added a few inches to the bumper itself creating a fatter ass. To me the SWB rear bumper has a much more appealing effect profile. It appears that Twinz rear bumpers have the swb style to them. So has anyone and how would you even start, grafted a swb bumper to a lwb. For those who don't know what I'm on about; And the Twinz on a 2+2;
