you have a choice. either cut the lip off the new plastic panel or trim 10mm off the steel lip on the car. i know which is easier...

I cut the lip, but that's only because I want it to look like the normal battery cover and I have also been known to lean on it when under the bonnet so I need the support under the cover. Cutting the steel lip is extremely easy, probably easier than cutting the plastic accurately

To make the whole thing look like it has been there since day dot, you will want to cut the metal lip. If you start cutting the plastic you will have to remove a fair amount and probably ruin the cover.

mine has cut plastic. less than 10mm taken off. when its under the rubber seal you cant see the edge. just sit it ontop of the lip then trace the steel edge with a white pencil. cut inside the white line. perfection

Nope, I am still waiting on a couple of payments to clear so if you can transfer it tonight that would be great.

Will PM you the details Glen.

For those that haven't, I will also need your delivery address via PM and also contact number for the parcel.

I have your money and am disappearing into the sunset :P

I was waiting until today for the last payment but it doesn't seem to be coming now.

No matter, I am placing the order today via PayPal so should be shipped out from the US either today or tomorrow.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
