Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock.

f**king drywall. FFS!

I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?"

Then the photo made it clear enough.

I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard.

Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.

Well now we all see it!

I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.

I thought about ditching it but I was worried my bonnet would sound like a 90's Swift GTi sub-filled boot.

Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

Still haven't found the headlight washer? 😂 

No. I think it's gone. 😭

I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

I never noticed a difference between mine being on or off in terms of sound etc. It isn't on the bonnet like dynamat etc. The main difference I can see it "potentially" doing is keeping some of the engine bay heat off the bonnet on the outside. So really, at most, it might be protecting the paint the tiniest bit. 
But there are plenty of examples out there where people have removed it, and it doesn't hurt the paint work.

Some of the BMW community feel it offers a fire resistance of some description but I'm not sure that's accurate.

Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites.

PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.

 

Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it?

It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

I put PPF on my new headlights which was easier than I expected. I have some for the X5 too because it's headlights are pristine for some reason and I dont think they'll stay that way.

I also put some silver wrap on these number plate holes. The colour is not a match by any standard but I think it still improves things, what do you think?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
