Sounds like they weren't interested in lying to themselves

Could I go back to 18 I would have picked up a trade and invested while living at home, or gone FIFO at 20-21 for those years that I was single and didn't do anything spectacular with my time

  • Like 1

Or the Govt.

The amount of hassle involved in having 1 (one) standard (emphasis on standard) drink and then immediately being forced to go home.

We're talking hours and hours of meetings and negotiation here, to move it from 0 to 1, it was previously going back a few years something like 4-5.

At least this is where your taxes aren't going ?

Nothing worse than wasting your youth doing FIFO

 

Except maybe getting addicted to drugs or something. At least it's be fun for a while.

 

Trying to time my re-entry into TLX... Looking good soon, but all stocks on my watchlist been nothing but dropping for weeks now

from what I have seen those are not mutually exclusive.

that moment you find a fun unusual daily.

1997 Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 JN15 Manual $2K with RWC in vic

(for those not aware the VZ-R N1 was a homologation special with a 1.6L 147 KW in a 3 door pulsar Import only..)

then you click the link

and back to the search.

 

 

 

Yeah nah not gonna get an N1 in half decent condition for 10x that.

There's a small group of people who treat the N1 as some huge investment. And it's quite hard to get cars or even parts in Japan for them...

I'd like one, but not bending over backwards for one

 

 

Happy new year lovers!

Current 33R carsales bottom = 45K

Catching up to and in some places surpassing 32Rs...maybe the yanks' love affair with the 33 shape will realign the models by age vs price?

How long before we surpass the 2009 R35s in Australia? Which now seem quite old, and a lot of money for a car of that age...not that they wouldn't be worth it. I wouldn't mind trading up on one at some stage if I can get some money together...

Birds, that’s only if yours are running and driven :P

R35 grown on me

I'd miss a manual gearbox like hell...but no way would I be prepared to enlist my own private security for events with the previous model.

That’s true.

Alternatively, grab your gym buddies to act as security guards.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
