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.

OUCH

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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
