genuine nissan top rad hose was $25

Shiet... I recently replaced my top/bottom hoses that had done close to 140,000km's I replaced them with Gates hoses shortly after I bought the car.

Considering they were aftermarket they have done well. Still felt quite good but worth while replacing while it was apart.

Gates top and bottom rad hoses cost me ~$20 each. Price isn't far off genuine. What was the lower from Nissan worth?

I also refilled with Nulon Green. Top stuff. 90,000kms since I had the stuff in it last. The head hoses etc were perfectly clean.

depends whats cheaper, genuine nissan or aftermarket.

dont wanna be wasting any money of my gay engine.

Ministry of bass has the 2 piece silicon hoses for around the $80 mark iirc.. dunno how much stockies are

-D

Heyyy computer smart people, im pretty clueless when it comes to this, but I bought a new computer just now, and i want to transfer all the stuff i have on the old one over to the new one. Now i know i can do wireless networking, which ive got setup now, but i cant transfer programs can i?

The main one i need is my photoshop program - does anyone have a copy i can possibly borrow otherwise?

you need to re-install all your programs flick =(

you can copy files, but not the programs... despite what ted says

yeh, sucks i have so many programs on this computer, dont think i have the disk for them all anymore tho. Oh well, good way for me to kill the next few hours transferring everything over. New laptop is pretty cool tho, has bluray and all sorts!

hey fish,

If u want i went and saw my mate today at Edwardstown custom body repairs, said u might come in and get a quote.

Speak to Mel (bold head guy) tell him Luke sent u there. Should give u a better price.

Was also saying if the paint isnt chipped on the quarter panel it shouldnt be that bad.

Look for the black Ferrari out the front.

Its on Bennet ave at an intersection.

<---------- nismo gearknob ftw :O

i got a new one of them sittin still in its package in the shed, catn decide wether to put it on or keep the Greddy silver one :s

might wait till i get new black leathers later this week and chuck it on

DESTROY.

When I dropped the rb30det in I also replaced all hoses. From memory total set me back around 400-500. Well worth it though for piece of mind.

--------

I went with the Nismo leather knob. Slightly shortens the shifter just right and is comfortable. The 25t box has a longer throw so the Nismo shifter helps it feel a little more like the shorter throw rb20t box.

cubes it's DSTROY lol

Luke fishpaste is coming to nene & bens on sat with me to pull the Bar off and have a look whats under there damage wise

Ben your always happy to lend a hand well done xx

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
