   Hi Guys, Just wondering if any of you have done any suspension work to your cars to help them handle better on the road/track. I have some real concerns that after i do my RB25/30 swap, the front is going to be a lot heavier and understeer a lot more (that is... if the car ever gets traction) So far i have the following (suspension wise) Front: height adjustable shocks (C210 i believe) Whiteline BDF33 swaybar Whiteline SPF1224K bushes Rear: Munroe GT shocks Whiteline BDR5 swaybar Depending on what size rims that i get (hopefully 15/16" watanabe if i EVER find some), i will lower the car accordingly. The swaybars go on over christmas, i will make sure …

   Hi Guys, i am slowly trying to get some more content up on my site, i am sick of trying to make the site work through asp, so i am going back to a basic layout for now, and just try to get some content up. anyways, here is some pics of the whiteline BDF33 install that i did on the weekend, the swaybar is a little thicker than the original, but i am sure it is much stronger.. not too sure on the remaining stock bushes though http://road.project240k.com/suspension/front/swaybar/frontswaybar.htm i also have some picks of the rear swaybar kit and their instructions up http://road.project240k.com/suspension/rear/swaybar/rearswaybar.htm it looks "interesting", might get…

   Gday, Im having a bit of a dilemma in getting new brake pads for my c110. Im interested in some EBC green-stuff pads, but as far as i know, the closest thing to the C110 they produce pads for is the 240z. Does anyone know if pads made for the 240z's front calipers would be compatible with the C110's? How about for the rear too? Any response is greatly appreciated. Regards, Tom

   Just wondering.. i was planning on trying to get a set of RS Watanabe's in F16x8(0), R16x8.5(-6) as according to watanabe, this is the max for the KPGC110 now, i figured that since i had the guards, that those would be fine, but now i realise that the KPGC110 had a different rear offset to the KPGC110, so will that through out my idea? the wheels have to be legal as it has to go through engineering according to the site, the GC110 has F/R 14x6.5(+14.5) and the KPGC110 has F14x8(-6) R14x8.5(-13) out of the factory (well i assume that is what it is according to the table) http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/index2.htm Kent

   Hi Guys, desperately need some advice! Today, i got the front brakes back on (i had taken them off, cleaned them up, seals are okay etc.). Previously i have removed the rear brakes, and again cleaned them up and seals are okay. I have bled all the lines, running about a litre total through the complete system, so it is free of gunk etc. as much as i know.. The brakes were still very spongy even after 10 minutes of pumping! As soon as you turn the car on, there is absolutely no pressure! we even tried pulling the master cylinder apart and put it back together (it was sticking a little initially, but seals etc. look ok). At first we tightened the locking screw on the m…
