Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any tow companies you guys could recommend around the Northern Beaches- need to get an unregistered car from Hornsby to Manly.

Yes, I've checked the yellow pages and found plenty, but thought I might check if anyone here has a preferred option or a cheap option as there are a fair few Northern'ers round here :D

Thanks,

Rick

Yes in theory you should get a ONE DAY PERMIT (like $22?) and the cops can screw you over if they wish to but in many cases they can call up your mechanic to check or they may even follow you to the mechanics.

Just be polite and be nice to the police. Most of the times they don't know the law to the very letter.

T.

Yeah, I hadn't actually considered driving it, especially as its not actually my car... could get into some trouble :rofl:

Turns out the location to which I am taking the vehicle is equipt with an in-house transporter - makes my life easy :D

Thanks for the tips guys, might be one to save for a search

How much is NRMA Roadside though?

Going by their website, either their Basic Care or Premium Care packages offer the free towing for upto 20km (with unlimited callouts).. They are $77.50 and $140.00 per annum respectively.

That's the same, if not LESS than what you'd pay for a towie once off.

Ahh VIP towing.

Simon Symons :) hes a champ and will DEFINATELY hook you up.

Hes prolly the most well known towie on the northside. I know an absolute S$$$load of people with mod cars that Simon has helped.

:werd:

helped me out heaps :D

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
