RACV classic car insurance rejected me because I've had 3 speeding fines in the last 2 years. thats cool, theyre insurance is shit anyway.

Insurance equivalent of calling a girl a slut because she wouldn't put out for you

Insurance equivalent of calling a girl a broad minded person because she wouldn't put out for you

if she was from any other Aus state sure, but in Vic where the girls crack the shits for under 5km/h is a bit harsh.

Simon became a sparky since he has the unearthed one.

Indeed... I now have 6 of these, since I made the ebay seller send me another to replace a "broken" one... then I refused to pay return postage, so got to keep it (works fine)

When I was under the car the other night doing suspension work, had one of these sitting down on the floor shining up under the car... as they put out no heat its got all the brightness of a 500W halogen, but none of the "I'm going to set things on fire if you don't keep at eye on me" annoyance. No dicking around with little LED torches or light bars either.

So going to keep 2 of them portable (will just wire up an extension lead onto them) and mount the other 4 around the walls.

They're a bargain at about $25 ea... but yeah, they aren't particularly safe straight out of the factory :| And being 240V they may not be suitable for your needs if you want one to be used away from a power source (or powered by the car itself)

yeah thats the deal breaker for me. portable so i can use it at work plus in tight spots.

those magnetic LED torch/bar things are super handy for cars, kinda like: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/72-LED-Powered-Mechanics-Magnetic-Hanging-Trouble-Work-Light-Bar-Lamp-Useful-/231295295853?pt=AU_Sport_Camping_Hiking_Lamps_Torches&hash=item35da46216d

Leroy, you'd want a rechargeable one though. That linked one uses AA batteries.

you're right. the one i have is 12v rechargable battery. comes with powerpoint and car charger, cost me $48 or something.

Hmm... do I stay with 3rd party or go comprehensive with JustRipsoffs?

Honestly it depends how hard you drive it...

If you're doing twisty cruises and hills runs... Full Comp right away...

If you're driving it twice a week to go to your mums place for tea, I'd stay on 3rd party fire THEFT until you can afford it.

Also, if you've got the money sitting in your account, you just don't Want to spend it... then go Full Comp.

bought nissan key thinking it was a gtst key, not a gtst key.

because.....

mohsen.

Oh Noes, Moh got Moh'd...

Googling for Skyline GTST Blank Key doesn't actually come up with any images of the key that I've got with mine Black plastic with an S imprinted in it.

Mine:

Mohsen's new one:

Does my one have a separate part number, Mike?

Theres about 10 different Nissan keys available for all the skylines, they're mostly under $5 each. I've always planned on ordering one if each to find out which is which and which may be nla but never have LOL

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
