Australian 155 Q4

Hi. I posted a couple of pictures of this 1994 155 Q4 a few months ago when I purchased it from Japan. Yesterday it finally arrived at my house so I have had a day to give it a bit of a clean. I have been able to drive it on some of my driveways here - so I can confirm that it runs at least. It can't be driven on the roads here and will be used for club level racing only. I think its going to be a lot of fun. Thanks to all for keeping this site going as its been a great source of information for me!

Now that really does look fantastic!!!

You must have a hell of a driveway to be able to drive it about a bit - what a shame you cant put them on the road over there :(

Keep us posted on its track progress :D

looks good 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

It looks in a really good shape!!!

I´d change rim´s color and lower it a bit.

Congrats and enjoy your new toy.

Very nice looking car.
they do look after stuff in japan dont they :)

The Q4 needs a bit of a refresh in in the brake department, so I have bought it some new front and rear pads and front disks.

I cannot get new rear disks here in Australia - so I am going to use 164 rear disks - and simply convert them from 5 hole to 4 hole. I have an old 164 here so I can check that they will fit, but all of the dimensions appear to be identical (also the same as the 156 rears).

Springs / Shocks. I would like to get new shocks / springs for the car. Any ideas on "performance / sport" shocks and springs that are actually still available.

Cheers, jn~

HI,
for the shocks I have installed the KONI Sport (yellow) and for the spring I have installed the AB Spring. This is the best result.

Do you have a website reference for "AB Spring" ?

Thanks - JimN~

where do we buy these :)

I got my Koni Yellow shocks from www.alfashop.co.uk - not sure if they do international shipping but any Koni dealer should be able to get them :)

the local koni dealer offers me only red for the back, and yellow front. I want yellows for both

How strange :( I would contact Koni direct and see what they suggest - they might have a different distributor who can mail order them to you
