  1. I have a set of 32 inch chrome rims just sitting here, waiting to go on an awesome piece of machinery like this. Do you reckon they'll fit or will I have to pump the guards?
  2. Never mind, found the thread with pics at the start of the thread, sorry So you had dramas with fitment eh? ok well that does explain why you would have trouble unloading them, though they are still a bargain. Might do a little more research and then let you know.
  3. You serious? You STILL haven't got rid of these? If they are genuine SARD 650s, brand new in box, have you got any photos to prove this is legit? Seems a little odd they still haven't sold is all....
  4. I had the exact same problem on the same side. I removed the plastic cover, removed the old sealant, and put new mastic sealer in there. But to no avail, it kept filling up regardless. A good way to find the leak is to use a spray bottle full of water. Lightly mist the problem area with water, INSIDE the car, then use something along the lines of talcum powder. Put the powder on a tray and use an airgun, or even your breath to blow a fine layer of powder everywhere around the offending area. Let it dry, then hose the shit out of the OUTSIDE of your car and you'll very quickly find the EXACT route the water is finding its way in, as there will be a clear run through the evenly spread powder. Helped for me anyway. Good luck
  5. As far as I saw on the Top Gear episode they never mentioned whether the Stig was using all of the electronic gadgetry that makes the GTR brilliant or if he was going "a-naturale", as he normally insists. Or is it simply not possible to turn all the gizmos properly OFF? I remember reading a Wheels or Motor article that talked about how when Schumacher drove (I believe it was the F430) around a track, he couldn't better the lap times of some of the mere mortals' times when they utilized all of the electronic wizardry that Ferrari had on offer. Martin, you likely have a better memory of this than I?
  6. You'll get what you're asking when a serious buyer comes in. The lowballers will ALWAYS try to claim it's worth $6.50. Stay firm mate. I paid $1250 and was stoked
  7. Which rubbers do you mean exactly? I asked Nissan for genuine for the front and rear windscreens during my re-spray and was quoted roughly $660. Told them to go f**k themselves. Politely. Used a universal rubber mould and took great care to make it look good, and I'm happy with the result. However my rear quarter glass moulds are a bit shitty and unfortunately they are encapsulated (part of the glass) so no chance of replacing them. Sigh.
  8. I have a set lying around somewhere in my shed if you want it. Got the box and everything. It's an Ebay set that required the removal of the needles to install but I simply left the front plastic cover off and set the speedo mid-drive. It reads accurately (as far as I'm aware) but the needles seem to "stick" a little in certain places. It's only marginally, and maybe some silicone lubricant would fix it, I just didn't want them anymore. I just put in LED bulbs behind the original and I'm happy with that, the white luminous dials are just too blingish for my tastes. And you can gradiate between a blue and green glow too, if that sort of shit floats your boat. PM me.
  9. Out of curiosity, why the hell do you want to sell the rs4? Are you planning on upgrading to the rs6 or are you just mad? I would give my left nut to own one. Seriously, one left nut Good condition One careful owner No STDs Only used to ride girls from church on Sundays
  10. Yeah I'm always tempted to modify these stickers when they're on the back of a falcodore ute. Real men drive utes. Real tools don't put anything in the tray cos it'll scratch the paint. And necessitate the removal of the hard tonneau cover. And it can't be heavy cos the carrying capacity is shite. Dropside trays are handy. Maloos are just silly. I still think a van is more practical.
  11. Are stickers for products I don't have a good way to make reliable power?
  12. Here! For god's sake man it took about 15 seconds to find this. Even less than it would take to find a mechanic or auto-leccy in the yellow pages Electric cooling fan stuff
  13. The more appropriate question is: is it really that HEAVY? Read around some of the other threads on this and you'll discover that it's not a real weight saver. Skylines don't typically have that much sound deadening to begin with, if you want to track it full time then that may matter but with a daily driver there's a hell of a lot more stuff you could remove to save significantly more weight. I'm considering adding more sound deadening to mine to make it more pleasant in the cabin, so yes you can buy sheets that you simply apply with a heat gun in a few key areas. Remember that it's also low in the car and well spread, so its kilo shedding benefits will be minimal. Just be sure to not add cheap, large rims and overkill sized brakes as this unnecesssary unsprung weight will be far more detrimental to your car's performance than the sound deadening. Feel free to call me wrong though
  14. Well Ben, you have officially been bumped to the top of my list of people who are legends. Thanks mate. Problem solved.
  15. yes! I wondered what the hell that box was! We removed the aerial completely and filled the hole and I thought that was part of the aerial system. I don't recall actually unplugging it, unless simply unbolting it has stopped it from grounding or something. Thanks mate. I'll try that after work. If I get my car back for the weekend I'll owe you one
