What is a really good spray on wipe off product for a cars exterior? To give it a good temp shine. Heard of it but can't recall what it was.

Meguairs Quik Detailer for quick clean outside

I got a cleaning product from meguiars for every part of your car Ruby :laugh: ill have it all with me later.

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*

I've spent most of this week off sick, and got frustrated driving my other car all the time... Thought I'd rip the reo off and size up how bad the situation was.

So, removed reo, mounted the FMIC up, making sure it was high enough that the the bottom return pipe fits under the undertrays. So, assessing the reo, there's no way it can even fit no matter what I do - it hits on one of the top mounts. Sits perfect on the passenger-side, but drivers-side - not a chance - even if I moved the FMIC across as far right as I could. I'm bloody confused and exhausted :laugh:

No way that it's gonna fit under that mount:

Fits perfect here:

I'm just about ready to give up - anyone have any ideas..? :/

Gotta love bogan chicks in jap cars!

Heading up Greenhill Road in the middle lane (west bound) a car in the left lane is turning down a side street to Wayville, and the chick in the Liberty behind it swerves into my lane, forcing me to brake and swerve into the right hand lane. I'm on my horn and my brakes, then after she moves back into the left lane and I move back into the middle lane, she's giving me the finger and mouthing "f**k off" to me???

Cars all stop at ETSA corner, so I hop out to have a word with the bitch, and she runs the red light almost hitting traffic coming out of the city!!!

Hag :laugh:

IIRC that kit comes with the middle top bracket for both R33 and R34, are you sure you've used the correct top bracket? Have you got a pic of the top bracket mounting to the bottom of the hood striker?

I didn't get any brackets - ahh the joys of s/h kits. This is why I've had to try and guess about positioning and make up my own brackets :laugh: .. I think maybe it might fit if I mount it about an inch or more lower, but then I'd be worried about whether the lower piping is gonna fit. It seems like a very precise/tight fit to me.

This is turning into way more trouble than it's worth.

that jack is only 1300kg very cheap though proly cost you $100 to ship

normal cost is near 200USD, and being alloy it's lighter. even my supercheap special lifts the R34 rear end or front end with ease. so this one would be even easier since its a race jack it lifts with a few pumps.

sure these cost a pretty penny in oz in alloy ?

I shipped two huge sub woofers from usa for like 60 bucks insured. they weighed a shite load too

is it a return flow kit?

Im with Steve, different kits with the top centre mounting bracket mount in different holes - there should be two holes available from memory - def try the lower one. if youre making the bracket yourself it'd have to be a precise length ,as of course if it's too much over/under size, the FMIC piping won't line up with the standard piping properly

Yes, it's a return-flow kit.

I don't have much choice but to make my own brackets - it's turning out to be lots of trial and error - I think I might have it - i'm persevering!

I just hoped things would go a lot smoother than this!

So, had to remove the rear leaf springs from an Isuzu Tipper today.

The guy thought it would be ok to leave his 6 tonnes of wet sand in the back.

What should have taken an hour or two including setup for stands, unbolting, removing wheels etc, turned into an 6 hour job.

God i hate people sometimes.

He called us up 10 minutes after he dropped it off. Hoping that it wouldn't matter.

He was flying out to Syndey then onto a 10 night cruise ship thing.

Old bastard he is. Too slack to buy a new indicator stalk, he uses a condom on it to make it work, also his stash of porn in the cabin is something to be scared of.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
