Lucien, I can't believe you bought a house in leichardt without off street parking. My girlfriend lived on Norton street for 3 years and when she moved there made sure that the place had two secure car spaces. I just bought a place in stanmore, about 2 minutes from leichardt and it has a lock up garage and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you can't build a garage on your property I have to agree with nxtime. sell it up and get a place with a nice garage. parking in wollongong is a bit extreme! and I don't know that it'd be any safer there.

hmmm, maybe I could rent you my garage for a while? either way parking it on the street is bad, and I don't know of any insurance company that will cover you for a GTR that is not garaged. It certainly is a tough problem...

Maybe ask someone in the forum if they'll rent you one of their spots? or ask me nicely if you can rent my full brick, lock up garage in stanmore for a while? :(:)

appart from all that, the car looks great. can I ask where you went for the steam clean?

I didn't buy the house, the parents did, and it was bought a 10 years ago when the issue of offstreet parking wasn't a ... errr.. issue :) Love the house, love the area (except for the fsckers who mess with other people's cars), don't want to move. :)

Thanks for the suggestion re: your garage. At the moment I will confine my search to Leichhardt and see what I come up with. If I get desperate, I might PM you :) My search really hasn't started in earnest as there isn't much of a hurry: the car is in Wollongong so I can work on it off street with the fatherly figure (you know, bonding, blah blah blah) and still has some stuff that needs doing.

Car is insured through NRMA at the moment: I don't think there will be any problems at all ;)

As for the steam cleaning, it was done somewhere in Wollongong (father organised it). I assume you want somewhere a little closer ;) I know that Nathan recommended some guys (who are apparently also on SAU) that do detailing: they might have steam cleaning facilities? Otherwise, just check the yellowpages as there are a tonne of detailing places.

Lucien.

Fair enough. I'm lucky that my parents place is only in chatswood and has 3 lockup garage spaces, and the place I bought in stanmore has one too.

You are very lucky that they will insure you without a garage. very lucky.

i ask nathan this arvo the name of the place.

now I need to stop whoring my own thread :Oops:

so where's all these pics?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      eBay "Hella" oil level sensor

      By PranK · Posted

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
