It was just this side of 1k. But obviously there's a lot of extras that aren't necessary. Like the mirrored, anti fog, multi layer visor, that was $200 on its own. I got a bit carried away in the end, clicking 'add to cart' on most of the available accessories. :lol:

It's only the ML Blue. The place I ordered it from did me a package deal but they didn't have the iridium visor. And to be honest, its killing me. The fact that I forked out all that money and that I didn't get exactly what I want...first world problems. :whistling:

I went the KF3. I was very hesitant about ordering a helmet online, but after going to my local (2+ hours away) Revolution Racegear, I was able to try on the KF3 in two different sizes that they had in-store. I would recommend you do this, if possible, prior to ordering. Otherwise http://www.racedeal.com have an excellent returns policy with postage paid.

Haha. :ph34r: After going in to RRG and waving cash in their face, the deal that they were going to give me was more expensive than ordering it online elsewhere. It's not my fault they weren't competitively priced enough. And after taking to the guys at Racedeal.com at WTAC, they were very helpful and I was much happier to give them my hard earned.

I'm not a great believer of taking advantage of shopfront businesses to make online purchases.

If you are buying online you shouldn't be taking advantage of local businesses to use as a "fitting room" for your online purchase. They spent time with you, and yet you had no real intention of buying through them. They saw you as a potential customer, and treated you as such.

Imo, the savings from buying online, come with an element of risk; people want the prices, but none of the risk.

If I buy online, I do all my own research and if I get it wrong its on my own head, but if the saving is significant, it is worthwhile.

I don't believe you can have it both ways, but I guess its more of an ethical argument than anything.

I agree with you in part, but I did go in there with the intention of buying it. Thus, going in there with the cash. Hell, last time I was in there, I bought a pair of Willians harnesses. I have no qualms with RRG, they've been good in the past. However, the helmet I wanted wasn't in stock anyway, they only had flat black, w/o the hans posts. Being 2+ hours away, ment it was going to have to be ordered in and sent out anyway. I asked them if they were negotiable on price at all, and they barely budged. I said I would think about it over a coffee and it was only then that I looked up how much cheaper they were elsewhere.

Yep, fair call Tim. :thumbsup:

I'm amazed at the number of people who do it with no intention of buying.
They are also the first to complain when the local supplier isn't interested in helping when they have a warranty type issue.

Cheers, Dale

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
