Dunno if im barging in on anything, but i've had a 32 gtst for a few months now... Keen to cruise with the locals as im in Rothwell....

On a brighter note, I was in Peninsula paint today n "saved" some poor sod who thought he blew his turbo on a twin turbo supra.... Turns out he should check his intercooler piping more often.. Fished out the slipped hose clamp and with a trusty 10mm I never go anywhere without, saved him a trip to the workshop. Wish all my mechanical problems were that cheap or easy :)

Im Troy by the way. If anyone filled up at the caltex on deception bay road just up from the rothwell roundabout, chances are we've already met

Hey Troy. Welcome. My missus just works behind you at the child care centre and owns a marine blue 33 4 door. I have a white 32 4 door. I know the owner of the servo for years and years. Top bloke. One night boys I will organise a meet, just been very sick lately and haven't had much time of a night to hang around. Hang in there as it will happen I promise.

spotted Brad in the 32 4 door heading up Buchananans Rd. just now. nice clean looking car :thumbsup:

finally got the new engine in the little ladies Beetle. once its run in and tweaked properly I'll have the liner back in my hands more permanently.

Wednesday at the BP's sounds good this week. but i think we should give somewhere around northlakes a go maybe?? should be parking and some eats there somewhere. gonna look into a good spot some time soon...when i get a moment to think in between doing stuff.

clean is the under statement of the century... :D

its (ummmmm cant find the words) super duper clean...

Ultra shiny?

I have badly damaged my back so someone is going to have to drive me on wendsday night. (I can barely limp atm)

for sure.

ive done many a large amount of Body work in my time, but the older brother is normally the one swinging the spray gun when we paint cars......but hes in Wagga atm doing his military thing...soo chances are that wont happen for a while anyways.

What were you in???? I have morning face on and everything is a blur. Some mornings I don't know how I got to work lol. So if you had waved I apologise man. I have seen a black 32 coupe along the same road every morning. Very clean as well.

LOL Col. I'm a clean freak YES. Bit pissed off with the rain this week. Made the car look rather shitty. Spent close to 3 hours cleaning it this morning.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
