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’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
