and basically if i have air turned on so it shoots at the feet - its fine

if i have the air shooting at the face and feet - its fine

however if i have the air shooting just at the face it makes a clicking noise?

whats the deal there?

There is a vent in the heater box.. which is below the entire dash. Have a look at my "how to pull entire dash apart" and "how to replace heater core" to see how to fix it and how it all works. Your actuator for the vent down the bottom inside the box is broken. Thats what the clicking is. I got them off my old box if you like sitting around - $30 and yours.

Zoix: same problem.. just replace the little black actuator (motor) adn you're fine.. its just getting to the bitch which is the problem..

Hey Matty.. you got a place lined up for your paintwork? Do they want to do a skyline group discount?? ;) I want mine done in next 2-3 weeks.

G'Man

A couple of the 'parts' DONT need painting hehehehe :)

When I find a front bar im probably taking it down to this place in southport, they do good work... I'l let you know and maybe we can get some $$$ discounted... Keen?

definitely.. I am now working at Umart with Chris / Nexus9 at southport.. so will be down here a few days each week, and that will be just around the corner.

I just need to pick up my 400R skirts (next few days), then its ready to go to a paint shop.

cool predator and nexus9 work at umart. Me and my cuz buy heaps of pc parts from there, Hes looking at spending about 1.5k worth of shit in the next week or so at your store, can ya give us a discount ;)

we also goto gamedude the prices are awesome but the service sucks ass and they are a pain in the ass about returns so we only deal with umart now.

Well I just peddled my a$$ to GE finance and got $2k more to play with to get the car fixed. Talked to Gav's and he said be very very wary of buying secondhand lower control arms because the brushes are usually stuffed, but new ones he said cost ~$400 from Japan. But I also know Gav does not like to do things half assed, and likes to have everything done properly with good parts, but I dunno, I'd rather have it fixed at gav's but know it will cost a huge amount of mula, but I will have the piece of mind that it is done right.

Plus the bit that comes out of the rack, (tie rod I think??) is bent to the buggery and dont know if the castor rod is bent either, also there is a bit that i am sure looks bent, little thingy bobby, (gotta love my technical talk, hope you get the idea that i really dont know what i am talking about :D)

So here is the delma, do I:

1. Try to go the cheap option, try to get all the parts i _think_ are broken and replace them using the time generously offered by other SAU members, or

2. Take is to Gav's have him replace everything that is broke, plus everything that probably doesnt need immediate replacing, but will in the near future?

What would you do?

Yeah but what happens if we missed something that needs fixing and it ends up breaking and having to go to gav's because i didnt take it there in the first place?

Might just take it there, I'd rather know she's all good rather than wondering if we missed something, or who knows.

I suppose the good thing about gavin is he also knows about suspension parts and the like. So you won't be taking it to a mechanic that just "thinks" he knows what he's doing.

he's told me numerous times that if there's anything with suspension that needs doing to take it to him.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
