thats awesome info Pete!
thx so much!! Will hitup NE Mitsi & Cahill's on Monday
Yes, been a long time mate. Too caught up with Uni commitments. Middle of exam period right now (just knocked off my 3rd exam this week, got 3 more in 1st week of July), then straight off to Launceston for 3 weeks placement as a student Radiographer. Exciting times
edit: Cahill has some good prices vs kms on their website. cheers again!

Thanks Nathan, thats exactly the sort of info we're after. Much appreciated.
Krishy/Dohmar - a few things. a) need to do it "quickly", without the messing about of going all over the place to see private sales, b) potential warranty offer from a caryard as a sweetener on a deal is a piece of mind for my partner, 3) yards have many brands & types of vehicles for sale, which needs to be considered as she has no idea what kind of car she is after at this stage (suv, wagon, hatch, new, demo, 2nd hand, etc).
-
Hey guys, havent been here for a long time.......
Quick question. - Does anyone have any contacts with a car yard for good 2nd hand vehicles? Not a performance vehicle so to speak, just a run of the mill "normal" car.
Missus is looking to replace her written-off car in the next few weeks (house breakin, stole keys to her Mazda 3 SP25 sedan, wrote car off at end of street when it was smashed into a kerb. The chassis was bent, and the engine was on the ground!!).
No idea what kind of car she is looking for, nor price range. What we are looking for is a trustworthy dealer who wont try to pass on a lemon, pressure to sell a car that has been sitting on the lot for ages, a flood damaged car from Vic/Qld, etc. if you get my drift.
If you know of an 'honest' dealer who sells quality then please post up the details. It'd be appreciated. Honesty and Service is the key here.
I think she just wants to go look and get it over and done with.

Shaun, I certainly dont believe that MW will ever take the WDC crown, but Im hoping that he comes in front of SV in the points by years end.
Also, Id be pretty certain another 'decent' team would arrange a seat for him for a year, but most likely scenario is retirement at years end, yes.
-
Just read the news.... ouch.
In soccer, individuals & teams (clubs on the whole, from top to bottom) get into serious trouble for match fixing. Q: Why is F1 so different?
Time to follow a new team I think; Lotus? Where's Nissan?
But quietly hoping MW fires up, does his own thing (ie fuc* orders!) before moving to a different team, and smashes the Tool in WDC points by the end of the year.....

Hotdogs or resonators do sweet FA, you need a proper mid muffler.
Im sorry, but in this instance I just cant agree with this comment ^
Speaking from experience with my Stag
without hotdog = drone
with hotdog = drone (mostly) gone.
Not talking about a decrease in noise volume, rather the sound it used to make pre-hotdog within the cabin at a constant rpm @ cruise.
I wouldnt recommend it if I hadnt seen a positive result myself.......
-
Ok so I removed my last stock muffler and welded a pipe in its place now it's straight thro to the rear blitz muffler. Sounds really shot and drowny now haha best muffler for drown? Still want it loud tho
Magnaflow mid resonator. ie Hotdog

Intake:
Apexi power intake pod filter
Z32 AFM
Metal hard pipe turbo intake kit
Exhaust:
3” JustJap stainless steel single dump pipe system (bolted to GT3076r)
3” 100-cell cat
3” cat-back exhaust system with Magnaflow mid-muffler (straight through 'hotdog' resonator) and Kakimoto GTR Racing rear-muffler (straight through)Magnaflow made all the difference to quieting the "drone"

ATS Adelaide turbo services highflowed mine.
Stock nissan V45 front compressor housing, ported out to the max.
Garrett gt30 ball bearing core, internal wastegate
Avo .73ar skyline exhaust housing
Very happy with it. Owned for a few years now too. Was nice at 250kw at 16psi with leaking rings, now forged motor but not power tuned yet. Expecting at least +270kw on around 18psi.
-
Been faultless since installing. A good option as a piggyback if you've got access to a great tuner.
Will finally do a power tune mid year with the forged bottom end.

Perhaps a new Blitz (se?) return flow cooler might be worth looking at, around $600 delivered.

I went from ~76kg to 108kg in around 3years at the gym, between ages 19-21
Then added 10 more the next year doing weights at home, but that would have been mainly "weight" & not muscle

Not entered, so will park down one of the streets, but will come out and have a look with my kids.

Hes to thick through the abs/oblique area for my liking, but son of rajab knows he's an animal
No he's not - he's my height @ 2metres tall, and obviously has wide hips.
Males arnt meant to have an hourglass shape, like women.

Honesty is the keyword here Sam. Better to have a contact, ie Nathan and Pete, so you can be slightly more assured that you wont be pressured towards a lemon.
Ads dont always shine the correct light on a business.
ie the "fix your air" advert for A/C at a mechanics business (name withheld) suggests you'll be looked after & get your a/c regassed, but if you dont research youd never know that the business advertising their services charges you double the going rate
Word of warning for your Insurance. If your insurer is a well known company starting with A and contains 4 letters (in capitals) be VERY wary. Service is shocking (none!) if your car is written off. They've treated my g/friend like a piece of dirt.
