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?

f**ked up hey

felt 20yrs slip off my life span

cheers

that sucks to hear Brendan. Wish I did have time to drop by yesterday. I'm at the hospital atm. Slight training accident. Waiting for xrays. :D
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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
