  1. I'm sure the quality will be fine; all their stuff seems to be. The picture is a stock image; that kit isn't for an NM35. I did notice the listed rear spring rates are quite light; 5kg/mm. I'm pretty sure the BC rear spring rates are around the 9kg/mm. Something to think about if you like to load your car up, or tow a trailer. Cheers, Dale.
  2. Cheers Jase; pretty stoked to get the time too! Why yes; yes it is, dad spec is the new sex spec. The after sex spec, if you will. And given half a chance; my young bloke would've been along for the ride...
  3. His was contract based wasn't it? If he finished higher than 5th in the C'ship; he was guaranteed a Repsol ride. Probably never thought he'd make it
  4. I missed the first start; what happened? With Pedrosa out, I'm struggling to even care for his misfortune; is there anyone in Moto GP with less personality? Crutchlow however; I do like, wears his heart on his sleeve, and has a proper go.
  5. On it's way to a 13.8 @ 161km/h Thanks to Badger Photography; well priced & professional service.
  6. Universal harness. Pin it out, wire it in. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GREDDY-E-MANAGE-ULTIMATE-UNIVERSAL-HARNESS-KIT-15901500-/300412580135?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45f1fc3127
  7. It would definitely be worth checking that the drain from the aircon condenser hasn't fallen off, or isn't kinked or blocked; this could result in all the condensate water from the aircon running down the inside of the firewall. Water from your heater core should be green; this is the colour of the coolant you should have in the cooling system.
  8. Gotta start somewhere mate.

  10. I'm pretty sure one of the Adelaide lads approached Mr Donnon regarding tuning; and the answer was the same as most of the other channels. The issue in not actually being able to tune the ECU; it can and has been done. The issue is building a worthwhile business case for someone to actually set up the hardware to do it. My understanding is; that there are several series/versions (up to 12?) of the VQ25DET ECU; so even if you can read/program one version, you may not be able to the next version. So, if you own a car with the version that can be tuned; great; but if you don't; tough shit. The number of potential customers isn't large enough to justify the expense of developing the reader/programmer. TL/DR; Buy an E-manage or an F-con V Pro.
  11. Which cable seizes? Is it the one from the dash to the splitter, or one of the wheel cables? Generally, the inner sheath rusts and damages the plastic coating on the cable, which makes it jam. No amount of lube down the sheath will free them up. I know it's pretty obvious, but if you can work out which cable it is; there are companies that can manufacture factory style, plastic coated inner wire replacement cables. I'm sure Nissan replacement cables will be fairly pricey.
  12. The Nardi looks great on there; it's amazing how much difference a quality steering wheel makes to the driving experience. Wish I still had my Momo Tuner; loved that wheel.
  13. Maybe; but nothing ventured nothing gained. Someone has to take the risk every now & then. If no-one had tried K-Sport BB Kits, or BC Coilovers they would've been an unrealised performance bargain.
  14. At the shop?
  15. I think you've made a really good decision there Chris. As Scotty says, the Fastfit has a piece of profile cut 12mm plate the width of the rear, that picks up the reo bar mounts, and has a piece of heavy wall RHS stitched across it's length. The tongue is gusseted onto it, and also has a torque arm that runs underneath the wheelwell and is plated through the bottom.
  16. Lol, 1:25sec; "Should we clap?" Wish I could have come down...
  17. Ooooh; sooo close! Hygroscopic; Readily absorbing moisture, as from atmosphere. The rest is fine. Don't forget to work from the furthest point to the closest point; think rear left corner to front right corner. Now; back to your normal programming. Grammar Nazi out.
  18. Wow; it got to you quick! Enjoy mate!
  19. Sooooo; did someone say Haydn's awesome Aussie spec oil cooler group buy? Sucks that you had a shite experience; at least you had the good sense not to persevere and potentially damage a motor.
  20. Listen very carefully; I'm only going to say this once. Argue if you like; I don't care. Do not use that tow bar to tow anything. At best, you may only destroy the rear of your car. At worst, you may kill someone with your trailer as it tears the back out of your car and flies into oncoming traffic. That towbar is only tied into sheetmetal; not into any load bearing part of the structure of the car. You are concentrating all the force generated by the trailer (accelerative AND decellerative) on a structure less than 1mm thick. Even if you plated heavily inside the car, behind the piece of angle; you are not spreading the load anywhere near well enough. What will happen is; you will pull a neat section of sheetmetal the same size as whatever is on the inside, straight out with the towbar & trailer still attached. It will look like someone used a tin opener to do it. If it hurts or kills someone; you may get to see what prison food tastes like.
  21. Agreed.
  22. Maybe just one more.
  23. Bugger, I wish I'd included the word "up" now. Not sure how they'll help; but they can't possibly hurt. Pics of push up bra; as requested. You're welcome.
  24. I don't like where this is going.
  25. Yeah, I suppose; gotta start somewhere though. I'm interested to see what it looks like. I also encourage boob owners to jam 'em into a push bra; it's like putting chicken salt on hot chips. Just makes a good thing even better.
