hah i saw that the other day also! couldn't believe it....thought armin would of been in there and thought deadmau5 would of been higher tbh.. but seriously this wanker dj pauly d.. wtf, who would pay to see him..

Pauly D doesn't do concerts, he just does gigs at iconic nightclubs for excessive appearance fees. I know this because every 6 months some retarded club sends me an SMS trying to sell me tickets to an event featuring him...you couldn't pay me to go to that shit.

That seems like a very good set Martin, might need to save up for one.

Anyone here prefer to use metric instead of the imperial units???

Depends what you're working on, Imperial are pretty useless for Jap cars unless you have a f**ked bolt the right socket just won't go onto right as everything is in metric. If you're working on old school Yank tanks all the time though you'd probably find Metric are a bit useless instead.

The amount of cheap tools I've gone through...

Sidchrome set has not failed once in the now 2 years of having it

Kinchrome are great though cus dat lifetime warranty.

what he said.

Metric for Jap cars, eg Nissan

Imperial for USA/old cars eg mustang, thus why I need both.

if your only touching the stagea you can get by with just metric.

Kinchrome are great though cus dat lifetime warranty.

depending oh when you bought sidchrome has lifetime.

they dropped it for a while but brought it back last time I checked (ie when I bought some)

broke one of dad's sidchrome extensions years ago, had massive breaker bar with a pole on a converter extension.

walked into local store got replaced no receipt needed. awesome...

that said the old man had the best set, every socket from 2mm to 1 inch drive 100+ mm (used for taking tractor rims off)

and some Kunt stole the lot one night.

heat makes metal expand, then when it cools it contracts a tiny bit and it breaks free.

just dont do it with an industrial blow torch directly on the CAS to remove it without asking the customer then tell them they will probably need a new crank when they pick it up like a certain workshop did to a member here

please explain?

<3 my Stanley tools. It's a basic set, but you could take apart a car with it and only $200. I love it because there's no useless tools I can't see myself using, like the cheap 200 piece sets for half the price. Plastic handles = easy grease wipe off.

Ha good read. Odd that shm would split when being in the top 10. Will see how they perform in their separate ways.

My main tools are:

56(???) Piece Metric/Imperial Kincrome 1/2" Socket Set

8 - 19mm Ratchet Spanners ($60ish from Repco)

6 - 19mm Stanley Angled Ring Spanners

They've never failed to get the job done...

Sometimes one set isn't enough, eg undoing an exhaust bolt when you need 2 x 17mm spanners at the same time.

?

Yes. One million times, Yes.

Hell I'd be happy with just the top section with a few drawers ^_^

my Stahlwille spanners are the bees niys

got sidchrome sockets for everything else, but could do with some ratchet spanners.

the Total Tools home brand ones do break if tested, but (depending on the warranty) will just give you another one right then and there. no paperwork and no receipt.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
