Terry, I replaced mine with SMD versions, nice white light; so much more resistant to that kind of damage. They cost peanuts on eBay, and last forever.

Oh no; haven't you heard? Non functioning numberplate lights are a leading cause of serious & fatal accidents in Australia!

^^^^ This. Good job, much appreciated.

They were an option; only available on the 350Z track edition (with Brembo's), and were around $3800-$4000. I think I've only seen 2 or 3 sets EVER; so they're pretty damn rare.

Stagea has been running warm at low speeds, and at lights recently; but when above 60 km/h has no trouble controlling temp. Significantly less "passing aircraft noise" from viscous fan; yep, fan clutch has died. Screw buying a new clutch; I'm going thermo's! Had the bright idea to buy a set of AU Falcon thermofans; as I had it on good authority they were a good fit, with a bit of modding. Modding you say? I'm good at that! Measured up on a car at the workshop; this could be a very nice fit. Grabbed my old stock radiator, and a set of fans from the local wrecker; this could be a VERY nice fit! Set to work lightly trimming, until I was sure they would fit; stripped out fan shroud & fan from my car. Trial fit; not bad, just need a bit more trimming... FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! Due to the Kenworth truck proportions of my radiatior, and previous clearance issues; there's no way this fan setup is going in my car. And now they've been lightly chopped; they aren't going back to the wrecker either... Currently in the process of fabbing a sheet stainless shroud for a pair of 14" thermos, and waiting on a weld-in bung, so I can run a Toyota temp switch in the core to run the fans. In roughly the same 4 odd hour time period this morning I essentially achieved nothing on my car; this is what I did 4 hours on an Evo 9 in the afternoon. Fitted ceramic coated exhaust manifold, turbo, Invidia dump, Invidia full exhaust, cut & rewelded front flange of High flow cat due to incorrect alignment, reinstalled radiator, lines and cold side pipework. Filled and pressure tested cooling system, got car ready for a test drive. With Stageas, the win doesn't just happen; you have to have to earn it. Think I might buy an Evo... On a completely unrelated note: I may have a well priced, straight fit thermo set-up for a standard radiator fairly shortly; if anyone is interested.

Again with the typo's Alex! I hate having to pull you up on these, but I think you'll find it's actually Fujitsfubu Spellcheck Nigga! Do you use it!

I very nearly fell of the couch when I saw this Alex! Bane of my life...

You definitely don't want to know how they make sour cream or yoghurt then...

And you sell it so well. Why did you have a bottle on your head?

Are kudos seriously suggesting that Nissan charge $484 odd for a pair of ball links? Their prices are good but jesus, are we that stupid?

Nice work, good things come to those who wait.

Yeah, I've done it a bunch of times, and never had issues either; I think I actually caused my own issues this time, but anyway... I also have a decent slope; but I drive up it, and then reverse back down, so the air that collects at the rear could be finding it's way back through the system. Who knows? Might need to reverse up on to my ramps and have a bleed and see what eventuates. Definitely with you on the plastic bung though; I don't trust it.

Looks good mate, might have to go that way. I'm struggling to get all the air out of the block ATM; there's obviously a bit still in there, and it's finally making it's way out. I've bled the system in the past, and had no issue, but I had obviously never completely drained the system until the turbo went on. Being able to bleed the block properly first go has got to be a good thing; a cooling benefit is a handy bonus.

Originally, that's where I thought it had gone; much swearing was done. I saw pics of your setup; do you find the branch into the rear of the block simplifies bleeding? Feel like making one for me? Price?

Had a bit of fun today; started out bleeding some air out of my cooling system, and once I'd finished, dropped the bung for the rear bleed point down the back of the motor. Ended up having to crawl halfway under the car to fish it out of the rear undertray... I've also been waiting a week or so for my new HID globes, as one blew. Globes turned up this arvo, so I thought; why not? Passengers side done, had to pop the airbox out, but no biggy. On to the driver's side, pulled out the coolant recovery bottle; globe changed, but I was using a torch by this stage. In went the recovery bottle, and straight down went the torch. Did it drop into the undertray? Nooooooooo; of course not! Hit the undertray, and bounced up and magnetised onto the top of the oil filter... Had to drop half the undertray in the garage to retrieve it. TL/DR? Took 2 simple jobs, and turned them into epic displays of hamfistedness. Farkin hate cars sometimes.

Iced Vovo. I always preferred Golliwogs. But that's 'cos I'm racist.

My NM35 does 5-600km a week, I'd be happy to do some testing and provide feedback. If NM35's are a suitable guinea-pig; that is...

ADR compliant brake lines can be made by virtually any reputable brake specialist. Look for one that does performance brake upgrades. You'll be looking at around $80 - $100 per line.

What is this "Trolling" of which they speak? 200B's rule; I had a SSS. Bitchin'.

Friends don't let friends drive Crummudores. Not even family friends. Just sayin'.

No one says you have to have an awesome first car; but a Crummydore? I just saved like a mofo... Talk about your hypocrisy, pick on other people's cars, then get uppity when someone picks on yours...

Yep, this is what I've been saying too.

FFS! Is it painted yet or what? Lol, new wheels are porn dude; nice work. But yeah, are you gonna paint it?

Silly question; your mechanic changed the timing belt idler & tensioner at the time of the belt change? What about a water pump bearing?

Well, that's certainly conlusive proof. Humble pie currently being heated ready for eating... There's really no risk at all if they're already damaged; in fact anecdotal evidence suggests that when people who have synchro issues use Redline, they seem to have far less serious or completely eliminate the issue. But I can't provide ironclad evidence to support this. The only downside is the cost, which may or may not solve the problem. Better get a lottery ticket eh?
