I never once said I did that on public roads. That's just stupid and irresponsible.

Just how I read it :)

Getting the car tonight. Compression check, spot on. Rego check - PASS!

I put the stock rims on, and all was fine.

Number plate lights are out, and so is the wing light, but it was passed - just was told to fix those - as they are things I'd get booked for if drove it like that.

So now can somebody tell me how to fix/replace the lights for the wing...?

The wing lights are LED's yeah?

EDIT: Ok pending pass, i gotta fix numberplate lights and wing light.

It may just we wiring. I'll get somebody I know to take a look monday.

Simple enough fixes.

Took it to : Premier Automotive Repairs, 5 Winchcombe Lane, Mitchell - 62428450

Great guys there. They replaced one of my wheel studs that was stripped on my Pulsar also.

Just how I read it :)

NP, I don't want to be thought of as a fool or irresponsible or get myself banned for something coming across wrong.

The wing lights are LED's yeah?

yeah I think so... might just be wiring, not at all sure.. Just gotta take a look and fiddle and see if can sort em out, asap. Least those fixes won't cost me a fortune.

Oh they did note "Advise: exhaust height at 100mm". Rear exhaust as it curves under the rear axle it sits at at 100mm, long as as I don't put to fat bastards in the back it's all good. Plus the suspension is stiff enough any way.

nononononono, wherever I went Andrew, it was about as close to the DIY car wash in Lanyon as you can get...

That's the place.

Thats what i thought the 1st time, google lied to me the bastards lol, its good but, like 2mins from my house :)

Hey, can you guys help me better understand the differences between S1, S2 and S1.5 cos this is a S1.5 and has elements of both together. I read the thread on the differences between S1 and S2, but still bit lost.

I think I read somewhere that s1.5 was just s1 with factory options that s2 came standard with, like ABS and airbags....I'll let someone clarify though

ah fair enough.

More or less, no difference. Coils are old enough that their original quality is negligible as they're probably about to fail anyway. CAS probably wouldn't make much difference if any. Turbo....well, same sorta deal as the coils - but if my series 1 turbo is anything to compare to, you won't have any worries running it at 11psi all day every day, which is just shy of hitting R&R anyway.

Thing is, this one has the S1 front grill, and lights, S2 rear lights etc, but S1 Grey bar with SKYLINE on the back.

Thats all I really knew for sure.

It has NO abs nor does it have either drivers or passengers airbags.

Not sure if actually is S2 engine or not (turbo, coils etc)..

I have one pending problem that discovered this arvo when collected the car back from the mechanics... They'd not hooked something back right and now it's misfiring.. So gotta take it back and make em fix it in the morning... Damn bastards. This is why I don't like going to mechanics.

We had a really good look and can't find anything, so gonna have to get em to strip it back to the plugs like did today for the compression check, and they better have it sorted for me. I'm so pissed off.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
