i pm'd Beer_Baron and he said he will discuss with the other admins about our own section and get back to me, hopefully we get it.

and just for everyone elses reference, the oil filter code is Z436

i put almost 5 litres of oil in and i will check later if its full or needs more/less.

here you go Kristian,

the fronts have been in for a few days and i just put the rears in so they should settle a bit. will be ok till i get coilovers. the handling is heaps better now, the shocks look to be in excellent condition

also got my tinted crystal side indicators so will put them in sometime soon.

my parts car has arrived. Virtually no damage at all. Definately no front or rear accident evidence like i thought it would have.

My plans are to have this car's engine and transmission swapped into my black beast. Then the black's engine will be put into this car without a gearbox.

My plans are to then sell it as a complyable car for dirt cheap with no gearbox. I have access to a 300zx so for 10K you could have both cars and throw the 5 speed into it and have the worlds 1st manual cedric for under 15K total.

Anyone want a cedric and a 300zx?

"Iron Chef Imports - where even the crap cars they buy are half decent" :)

Added: actually, given that coilovers and other bits are readily available, you could turn it into a half decent drift car...

Edited by Iron Chef

i wonder if they would drift as smooth as they drive, would stay sideways forever ha ha.

would like to convert mine to manual but stuff trying to fit the clutch bits in the engine bay. will wait for the C35's to come in and get one as a daily and convert that to manual, then pimp around in the gloria on the weekends

ok guys, quick question,

i got a cable for my ipod to plug into the AV inputs behind the center console, only problem is that the music only comes through the left and right front speakers, where as when i have a cd in it comes through all the speakers. have any of you guys tried using the AV inputs yet?

seems as though my audio has moved to the front 2 speakers... so i was trying to get to the screen today where you can adjust where the sound comes from and i cant figure out how to get to the screen. i have had it up before when i first got the car but i cant find it now.

the translation book needs some sort of ladder diagram so people can see what screen leads to what.

if you could help me Ben, that would be great :banana:

yeah mate. Press the sound button. Then scroll completely over to the right and you'll see an option for front speakers, rear speakers and all at the bottom. Im pretty sure after that you adjust fad and balance further along as well. I'll have a look again tomorrow for ya :(

ha ha nice work Ben, will your black one ever get back on the road?

how many km on the parts car?

they shouldn't have even made the spoiler on them an option...

They shouldve made that ass end an option, so that you could have something nicer :/

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
