I do love that place. most of the stuff is chinese cheapy....but hey that's what brings it into my price range.

I recently picked up drill press, grinder, sandblaster and parts washer there.

And this is why I need to move my car to your house... :P

Here's another bit of kit I picked up at Hare & Forbes (Machineryhouse).

pic of sandblaster?, i've been looking for one for 2 years now but no one up here stocks free standing sandblasters... they all stock the little box ones. :/

I picked up their smaller freestanding one...still looks big enough for the majority of car parts, anything larger like wheels or heads etc can be done by a specialist.

The challenge with big blasting cabinets is that you need a hge/expensive compressor to supply enough air

I bought another cool tool the other day, and this one was damn cheap as well, $20 on ebay

nissan specific clutch aligning tool

there are a bunch of generic (and expensive kits), but this is a perfect fit.

Recently acquired one of those cordless Renovator power tool dealies.

Awesome. Used it to cut a Perspex shield for my Pod filter. 5mm Perspex with curves and straights and this thing loved it.

Wonder what else I can attack with it? :)

lol I said "clutch aligner" not "crutch aligner"!

BTW Hare and Forbes are on sale this weekend.....head down and buy everything!

Actually just got the flyer in the mail. Sale is from Thurs 14th to Sat. I will be making a lunch run to go pick up a few things :D

I find it absolutely amazing at what my son Mark has in Snap Ons - top shelf only shown.

Other rare bits on other shelves - and he took care of his tools - not 'tired' - never thrown around.

Used to be a BMW, Subaru, VW mechanic.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
