Are the gas ones better than the Diesel ones im bunnings i see atm? I was thinking of buying a Diesel one as i thought the diesel might last longer than the gas cylinders?

Pros for diesel.

Easy to refill.

Smaller

Well, just fired it up. The fan was stuck on the shroud and it only runs true when you put some weight on the housing. hehe, will take a few little mods.

I've had an oil one in the US. When it clogged and got a blow out smoke would billow out. I don't think the LPG one will do that.

I just want to use it every now and again. Primarily to take the chill off when I'm in there for 2 or 3 hours at a time.

Don't be tight, rip up the concrete and install heater tubes in it :)

Can't wait to fire up this bad boy!

So I used it today. Worked great. Didn't smell that bad at all and sure took the chill off quickly.

Would be cool to find some biodeisel for it - ex french fry oil would smell pretty good :yes:

I needed a spare 1/2" ratchet for my "cruise" toolkit (the one that leaves the house) -picked this set up at Repco for $59 (I gather they're clearing out their Sidchrome gear).

They don't feel as strong as my older Sidchrome ratchets, but for the price I can't complain.

Also returned an old Repco 1/4" ratchet that I must have had for six or seven years. The bearing on the head was worn so sockets etc were just falling off; can't fault their warranty and service the bloke at the counter swapped it for a new one on the spot and no questions asked. Will definitely be recommending their tools to anyone who asks.

Really doing best to keep this thread alive lol

Snagged a set of Sidchrome 440 series spanners from my mates at Repco Chatswood today. The past couple of times I've been in there buying oil/filters/etc I've noticed these guys in the display case marked down to $119. Today temptation got the better of me. They had a few more sets and as I suggested above it seems that Repco as a brand are divesting themselves of Sidchrome stock so a good time to tool-up. Yes they have the lifetime replacement warranty.

If you had to buy a good price/quality toolset, which one would you get ?

Got a cheap and crap one a while ago and snapped a few tools already so I'll spend a bit more to get something decent but tool brands are different to Europeans one and not sure what to go for.

Stanley is the only brand I had before so if there is other good quality tools that are affordable for the Sunday kind of work, I'm listening :)

By tool set what do you mean? Spanners, sockets?

I find that repco tools are OK. A little higher quality than Stanley and still reasonable priced.

Update on the rivnuts. Got to use it for the first time with some m4 nuts. Worked great. Took more time to drill the holes than install the rivnut. And it really looks professional.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
