Still worth it if you only drive on weekends and car is 25 years old

Which was the point of the scheme before every moron with a car 5cm off the ground and a straight out exhaust made their own car club

I did this, it really doesn't stay shiny as long as you think it would (try 1 month...)

Yeah I don't think their products are that fantastic

Got 86 detailed there and the wax didn't last long at all

Definitely detailers doing the same thing for half the money

I take my car to Dave

+1 to Dave.

Got detailer coming over over on sat, charging heaps more than Dave and promoting unrequired products.

On topic, speaking to Mick from micolour and he doesn't endorse the use of protective coatings etc

Oh, I didn't mean final inspection (is that who you thought I meant?)

I meant the key doesn't stay so biuriful..

fyi for those that care,

club permit scheme is now officially f**ked.

RWC and VASS cert for modifications only way to get one now

Was only a matter of time, the amount of complete shit boxes I see driving around with club rego is a joke. Then there's the ridiculously modified unroadworthy ones as well

Soooooo I bumped into an Andrew Bolt "article"

It was just a massive sook about the ABC trying to destroy Abbott and the LNP. He went on to cry incessantly about ABC shows putting on more left wing guests than right and also speaking over conservatives... and that would be fine, as there is definitely a left wing agenda with the ABC at times...

BUT

I also watched an episode of "the Bolt Report" and lets just say he's not exactly in a position to complain about bench stacking or talking over people with opposing political views lol.

It's "womans day" quality journalism thinly disguised as political commentary.

By that token I also read a Waleed Aly "article" that was just as whingy, and equally devoid of merit...

The abc is completely left wing - q&a is stacked massively

It's as left as bolt is right. Makes sense though because greenie hipsters watch abc so it's of little surprise

Bolt can be as biased as he wants on his private-funded tv show.

However abc has an obligation to be unbiased due to government funded tv station.

As explained here, abc caught breaching guidelines.

"It is about an ABC that last week beat up Abbott for days for referring to a “holocaust of jobs” — he insulted Jews!, was the deceitful claim — yet didn’t complain when Labor’s Paul Keating referred to an “economic holocaust” and Greens senator Scott Ludlam to an “environmental holocaust”."

Oh I see

Yes I expect it will turn MATT soon...

But it's a hell of a lot shinier than the existing key and I only have one key lol

I also bought a cheap Nissan key to use on the daily grind

Shiny key can be for security guard meets

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
