That was ScottyNM35. He has done some fab work for me before, highly recommended :)

Also Leigh.. i'm sure straight pipes will help with that EPA you just got.. lol

Thats the guy that did Ash's chaser? Do you know the shop name?

And yeh the excuse is err.. twin tip will look more stock :P and want to get rid of the gay cannon. Then more low :)

Perspective. I took out a 20k+ loan which means I get a interest rate of 7.2% per annum. No fees as above. Over five years they're making less than 3k off me. I'm happy with my loan...I'm not desperate, but I'm not rich either. Got me my car when I wanted it in an affordable way. Or I still wouldn't have enough to buy it now. As it is in less than a year I've already paid 10k off

only if you know what you doing like u n me, its fine but think mohsen is too young to already hv a loan on him...lol...n for a gts...if u noe where i am coming from...thats all

I have loan, simply to keep me motivated to work.

It isn't that bad if you know what you're getting into and be able to budget accordingly.

Harsh, thanks for that, I plan to drop them a email and see if they're alive so I could try to find a time to swing past.

They're in Hawthorn Campus or?

$1k a subject eh? Will ask around (from memory accounting courses aren't cheap).

ya uni aint cheap..i pay 800-900 each subject on my hecs...so i think for a mature age student or non hecs placement would be more...thts y above 1k i say..but ya remind me on monday so when i go on tuesday i rememeber to try to get some info for ya.. :D

Yep that's the guy... He just does it at his house, send him a PM or something if you are interested

The import/export business and racing for slips is quite lucrative now days. You can easily make a million in less than 18 months!!!!!!

But operational cost for cars and drug runners and motivational speakers/spanker s with inflation will push this plan out by a good 4 months bearing in mind I am not in Jail with free food and accommodation by then!

Will do thanks mate

Got a quote from my exhaust guy for 800 ish he said so will see what this guy says

Something doesnt sound right with your maths there

Thanks, shall PM you Monday.

Someone once told me it's not wise to buy a house cash even if you can... Can't remember why but it made sense when they explained it..

I don't see why. Would be interesting you could find out the reasoning. Needs something very financially beneficial as on a 400k loan you will end up repaying over 700,000k

Guys - some feedback needed

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/351172-detailing-clinic-what-would-you-like-to-see/

SAU-Vic will be having a night/day with these guys soon.

So stick some feedback in there for them to give an idea, it'll be in feb or march once i get it organised :D

Yeah no idea...Not many people are in a position to buy a house cash anyway so don't think it's much of an issue.

I'd say that if you won a shitload through the lottery etc, then paying cash wouldn't be an issue as you have it there and then, and probably have a shit load more to spare after paying for the house...But in Virgin boys case, if he were to save up to pay cash for a house, in the time it'd take him to save up the money the price of houses/land would probably have doubled, so a loan as soon as you can afford it is the smarter option

Nothing wrong with getting a loan for a car I think people are talking things up a bit I mean few ppl have 50k+ sitting around for a decent car not a 20k car.

My Lexus is on finance but it works for me with tax deductions skyline is cash

Of course u would buy a house cash if u could the only time you wouldn't is if it's a investment

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
