    Who Got Hailed?

    no no nothing doggy, maybe i worded that a bit wrong. The choice was I go ahead and claim the insurance or not. If I went ahead with the claim - it would be a write off from then I had 2 choices: a. settle everything now, leave the car, sign the paperwork and money would be in the bank in aprox 48 hrs b. return the car within 48hrs and settle everything then I had already ripped everything out, so I didn't see any point in hanging on the car any longer. Since I had agreed value I got a good deal out of it. I was just surprised at how quickly the process went.

    Who Got Hailed?

    just got back from the 'just car' assement place in the city my gtr has been writen off - the whole process tool less than 10 minutes, even got a cabcharge for the ride back to work. They had a 'Pickles auction' sticker on that car before I could say a word, and by the time I got into the taxi the car was already gone. : (

    Who Got Hailed?

    my GTR's in taters: cracked front windscreen dents everywhere was visiting friends in Rowville - damn should have just stayed home. and I only increased the excess the other week to reduce my premiums - F$%^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rowville area looked like a disasterzone. My mates aircon looked like someone sprayed it with machine gun fire!!! Holes in peoples roofs - incredible.
  9. been looking round to get my leaking brake master cylinder repaired. One place told me this: "New brake master cylinder for your car is not available. We need to resleeve and rekit your brake master cylinder with a stainless steel insert bore which will end up being better than a new one as the new ones come out with aluminium bores. Price to resleeve and rekit the brake master cylinder to your Nissan R32 GTR 1993 is $420.00 this price includes the resleeving with a stainless sleel insert to the bore, brake master cylinder kit, labour and gst." Has anyone done anything similar? should I go for this or just get it repalced with a Nissan genuine one?
  10. I took the wheel off, as it just makes it easier to work in there. just undo the screws inside the surround, I think you also need to remove or loosen the plastic front panel, can't remember now as it was a while ago I did it. It isn't hard, just take your time doing it. as you start to pry it appart you'll find all the other conectors and screws that you didn't see before.
  11. When I look at the compressor with the engine running and no belt it seems to be turning
  12. is it easy enough to just put on the compressor belt myself? I thought if I try that and see if the aircon actually still works, that way i don't have to fork out cash just yet. Any good places out there in Melbourne that have experience with replacing skyline air-con compressors?
  13. Driving home from work today on the eastlink freeway with the aircon on, the compressor belt must have snapped during the trip. I did hear a noise while driving but didn't think much of it at the time. Once I got off the freeway though I noticed some smoke coming out from under the hood. I pulled over and opened the bonnet, and it seemed smoke was coming from where the compressor would sit. It smelled like electrical wire overheating or similar. Have I killed my compressor? Where in Melbourne can I get this looked at and fixed? car=R32 GTR

    spotted a VW Jetta on Eastlink with SAu sticker - 'got the nod'
  17. Yeah, I quite like the noise too Maybe I should just build a cold air box.... Are the pods illegal though? I thought you were allowed one mod for the intake and one for the exhaust?
  18. My R32 gt-r is fitted with Apexi twin pods. They are due for a replacement as they are very dirty. I don't see much benefit in them as I believe they just suck in all the hot air from the engine and would much rather prefer a standard (modified???) panel filter box as per the way the GT-r must have come in stock form. Should I go down this path? or should I invest in building/buying a cold air induction box and replace the apexi pods with new ones?

    spotted as well, hope no one was hurt.
  20. Wondering if anyone else has this problem and what they did to fix it? Basically when starting the engine from cold it takes about a minute or 2 before the thermostat opens. During that time the engine feels really rough, when pushing the accelerator the engine starts to stutter when going beyond a certain rev range, until the thermostat opens (ie the temp gauge starts to move). Then it is fine. It doesn't really bother me too much as it helps me warm up the car slowly. Car is R32GTR with apexi pods and catack exhaust+cam gears. I've also started to notice that it pings as well until the thermostat opens. Is there something going on I need to fix quickly?
  21. looking for part numbers for R32 GT-R vspec brakes (front and rear) ie the brembo ones
