They really need to rename that car club, it's a terrible name that is hard to remember :P

My mate on fb today


CENTRELINE SUSPENSION: MY STORY
Just a heads up for anyone here with their pride and joy wanting to go Centreline Suspension, im not the first to be lied to or overcharged by this "premium" suspension company.
I ordered Hard Race camber arms (front and rear) and a wheel alignment.
i got quoted by Typre power North Melbourne at parts + $260 labour
I called Centreline and they explained the difference in their service compared to Tyre Power and always use the excuse "we cant give you a price it depends on whats involved but we are premium and can trust us with your car" ... so i got slugged $520 labour
When i went to pick up the car they said "the front is hardrace, rear is ZZS, same factory" i was a little annoyed at this as a courtesy call would have been nice. I like to keep things uniform and would of been nice to see same brand front and rear.
When i jacked the car up at home i find that the front is SRI and the rear is ZZS, nothing what he mentioned, and charged me prices more than what SRI is, thinking i wasnt going to notice.
I went back to him and explained how you cant just choose what you want for my car if i asked for Hardrace and you havent even called me to ask me if i wanted these brands. More the fact he lied about what he installed and overcharged me.
After arguing, his best resolution was to reinstall my stock arms and not reinburse my $520 on labour. How the f*ck is that any good to me?
Not impressed with the "premium" service they claim themselves to be, ive been overcharged on labour, lied to on parts, and overcharged on parts thinking i wasnt going to check.
Theyve made a name for themselves, and now think they can do what they please.
Just a heads up for anyone needing to get work done to there car

It is becoming more apparent by the day that Labor are simply choosing not to contest this election... will be interesting to see their financials post election and see if they even made it to $100 in campaigning expenses

They are probably keeping him there to ditch after the election rather than burn whoever they have in mind in an election they are likely to lose anyway.

They probably also don't want to inherit the budget in it's present state and further propagate the myth that Labor can't manage a budget.

It's actually probably a better long term strategy to lose thus one

you don't actually think its a myth do you? like seriously its documented concrete evidence factual information that labor are hopeless with the budget.

given the resounding failure of the PUP party i think people may be more likely to shy away from independents..

greens will always be there cos ya know people like ham are allowed to vote..

You know there are political positions other than extremes right?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
