best place to get rocker cover gasket.... main north nissan since they a club sponsor?

Ive bought a shitload of parts from main north nissan of late, and they are very well priced - some cheaper than what people in the eastern states are getting, then we get an additional 10% off!

Also bought parts from this place before, $93.50 for the kit (both sides and the half moons). >>Kudos Motorsports<<

What's everyone doing tonight?

I thought I might try having a go fitting up the Blitz LM FMIC I bought ages ago.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to fit without cutting the reo - which is something I really didn't wanna do (specifically bought the Blitz cos I was assured I wouldn't need to cut reo).

... pondering taking a pass on it and selling it on now ... *sigh*

On an even crappier note, when I went to fit the FMIC found someone has what looks like punched my front drivers-side guard; Guessing it was earlier tonight when I was parked at shops, came back and a bunch of young punk-types hanging around their cars just across from mine - all laughing between each other n gave me shit when I drove off. Wish I'd realised at the time.

So - anyone know anyone who does cheap paintless dent repair?

Crappy night has been crappy.

I did the same thing when I tried fitting my Blitz LM FMIC (been sitting in garage for 6 months!). 50mm needs to be taken out of reo and I was thinking this is bullshit and will void insurance.

I phoned Shannons and talked to 2 different people on 2 different days and they both told me that as far as their concerned it won't void an insurance claim so long as I tell them it's on there. I explained to them that cutting the reo will have an effect in a front end accident but they told me that because it's an import then likely it's going to make repairing the car expensive or a write off anyhow. When I eventually get around to fitting mine, I'll get one of those radiator cooling panels which should disguise the cut reo at least when looking from the top.

Hey mate, give this guy a ring, I've used him a few times before. He is fast and efficient and reasonably priced too

Im in need of an car electrician.

Adjusting my air con makes like a buzzing noise, radio / dvd player drops signal and "seeks" a lot. I didn't wire it, but i did have a look and its a horrible job. Plus there are other wires and looms everywhere with electrical tape that I have no idea where they are going or what they are for (after market im sure).

Anyone help me out?

The air con noise might just be the actuators are partially seized up, just operate everything each time you get in the car and see if it frees up. Thats what I got told to do.

Is it a Jap radio or an Aus one?

your only a young man yourself to early for heart attacks unless its because you just cracked the lap time @ mallalla or something

how frail the human condition really is

yeh I know

4 weeks ago I wouldnt have worried about it - state of mind at the time, but now more positive after seeing headshrink / new antideps so figured I better get to the hospital

always had a heart murmur (faulty valve) and an irregular heartbeat but never been concerned about it, more on the mind re: knees

was what youd call a 'small' cardiac arrest, perhaps stress as Ive been stressed out with lose of house, marriage breakup etc

seems my heart is irregular like its got a gummed up spark plug, not sparking correctly

they can go in and cauterize areas where the electrical currents are 'shorting' and fix up that way, so tests to see whats up this week

      My 3.8 kW system (when new, not so much nearly 20 yrs later) will do 21 kWh per day (best few months of the year), and that's with an afternoon shading issue. So it really could/should be able to do maybe 24. So a 6.6 kW system probably cannot fill a 40ish kWh battery from scratch, but then it is very unlikely to ever need to. Let's presume that you use 10-15 kWh during the day and stash the rest. So long as the battery isn't drawn down below ~50%, it'll be fine. And that draw down presumes using 20 kWh overnight, which is a reasonably heavy draw. So that seems reasonable. The 40kWh will be good for extended outages, and very bad days where you get almost no generation for a day or two. Might struggle to top it all the way back up after it gets pulled all the way down though. I'd think you'd probably want about 10 kW of panels to make life a little easier, wrt keeping a 40 kWh battery charged. But then....does it really need to be at 100% every day? Probably not.

      Am I wrong in thinking that there is a hell of a lot of battery storage for a 6.6 feed into it Your battery is around 4 times bigger than the battery that is going into my place in a week, but I have nearly twice the feed Will the batteries actually ever get fully charged?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
