and where would one get this special blade and perhaps a part number

thanks

I normally renew the front pair, and cut down one of the old ones to use on the back; as Aaron says, pre bend it to suit the curve.

Plastic backed blades are shit; not flexible enough.

I only use the rubber ones with two stainless strips in them; over the counter at Repco is the only place I can find them anymore...

as Dale said. no special part, just cut it down to size.

i use the teflon stuff. had it for about a year now and it still works as if they were brand new!

Is the rear qtr panel on the M35 replacable? Or is it part of the whole body?

My wife cleaned out a brick fence while backing my car out...

Just wondering of the driver side rear qtr panel is replaceable.

Cheers...

EDIT: I think this is it?

fuuuuccck man.. even your light was gone.

i think they angle grind a section out if it cant be bog fixed. and weld a replacement and fix n paint.

Depending in the scale of the damage. You might be up for a new rear quarter.

Not a bolt on part; extends up to the roof at the C pillar, and all the way forward to the rear door...

Taken a pic?

yup, cut the spot welds and replace the panel.

if you were in sydney i can supply a 2nd hand rear quarter if you need it. but that will be gone pretty soon

As in someone is buying it?

I'm gonna just go thru insurance anyway...but want to see if they can just pay me the $$$ instead of having them repair it seeing its just panel damage. I know RACV allows this...

then I'll just hit up some cheap 2nd hand parts (already have tail light landed for $150) and get a decent import repairer to fit and fix it all.

You'd think choosing an oil wouldn't be so difficult, however it seems that choice of oil has the possibly broadest range of opinions of all.

so Iamhe, after 5 years of trying different oils have you settled on one or still are you still experimenting?

There are still a couple I'd like to try out (the new Royal Purple HPS sounds interesting and my curiosity regarding the NEO oil can only lead to one result :rolleyes: ), but since I have over 220,000kms on my car I will be sticking with what I have found to "feel" the best - Motul 300v Chrono (10w40) with either HKS, Power Enterprise or Greddy magnetic oil filter with 10,000km changes.

As a side note, I am only going back to Motul because GW Sougi S6000 is discontinued.

Didn't I hear GW are doing a Sougi replacement? I'm pretty curious about NEO and ULX-110, heard great things about the ULX, but it's not fully synthetic.

Bad luck on the car Ironpaw... pics? Is it bad?

How bad?

I damaged mine early this year... made be sick to my stomach, but it was repaired and not replaced.

Probably a writeoff if it had to be replaced :P

Doesn't look like much in this pic, but the rear quarter was split right through leaving a hole roughly 20x5mm.

they said the closest to sougi 6 is sougi 5000. although is a semi synth few guys on here said they didnt notice a difference. althought i think its discontinued aswell lol

OUCH

I don't think mine is that bad...damage is superficial mostly and the dent is mainly near the fuel cap area...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
