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.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
