Re: x link and flex arm??

Getting the defect notice because of lazy cops isn't that same fighting the defect in court.
Keep the data sheets from the tire manufacturer in your glove box and watch the cop back pedel when you show it to him.

Re: x link and flex arm??

I see your point, but these arms are not legal to be fitted on a registered car in QLD. Neither are my now 3 inch coils and 32s. At least the dodgy cast arms I have are technically legal. Don't confuse me saying legal with stronger, the superior arms are obviously much stronger and much better ...

Your problem is that petrol and LPG require very different ignition curves.

ACL list a piston that is 1mm over. beyond that you would have to use a custom piston, or pray that a 3.5mm over bore won't kill it. They other option is to have the block sonic tested to know exactly how thick the walls are. In the end it would probably be both cheaper and easier to buy a TB45 ...

i doubt nissan would have put enough metal in the block to allow for a 3.5mm over bore and still have enough left to have any strength.

I'd say they would have revised the block to fit those pistons.

whats the biggest intercooler you are going to fit in the front of an 100 anyway? 300/600/75? 300/600/100? its pretty much the standard size every one fits to anything these days. I doubt you'd be able to fit a big enough intercooler to increase pressure lag to a point that it becomes annoying.
