  1. i may be interested and i live close to you. can i come look at it?
  2. hey mate i want to replace the radiator of my 32 and this will make a great guide, thanks. Do you think you could repost it though with the pics again (the pics don't show up anymore). I think the hosting of the pics muct have expired. Cheers.
  3. Hey guys, simply I need a good working 32 gts-t air con compressor and the air con cooling fan that goes on the fron of the radiator. I'm in Adelaide but can pay postage. Methods of contact: PM Email: [email protected] Mobile: 0422107997 Cheers.
  4. dont worry about it mate. i couldn't wait, paid $9 extra for the one on ebay, couriered out to me. Good luck with the sale.
  5. is the pillar pod for the A-pillar? if so how high up does it sit?
  6. Oh yeah I forgot to mention right before checking my spray jets and demister he DID also get me to open bonnet, boot and fuel door to check they're all in good working order. Plus he did also make me buckle all the seat belts so he could yank on them and test they all retract properly. If you're worried about yours not retracting fast enough or properly, try spray lube. Thanks for reminding me about that though
  7. (cont...) 5) Turn on demister and check air flow going to glass. 6) Turn car off and wait while he checks suspension and wheel bearings for give. He'll use a crow bar not just his hands so make sure your suspension is tigher than your mum's sphincter (edit: tighter). Wheel bearings, castor rods, control arms and their bushes don't cost THAT much to replace. 7) General check in engine bay for leaks (both air and fluids) so keep it clean, trust me just clean the engine bay of everything. Last night I changed the coolant and spilled coolant so I was frantic about cleaning it up. Also, some of spilled onto a fan belt which then squeaked a little so I had to run the motor til it cleaned itself out. *TIP: Use degreaser on anything under the car that doesn't look good or natural (stains, old leaks even if they've been fixed- clean up the mess). It costs a couple of bucks a can so go your hardest. Again, make it look good! 8) Gets you to drive it to the rollers and checks your front then rear brakes. Now a tip is when he says to apply the brakes f*cking slam them. He's making sure you have enough braking power (top up all your fluids prior, obviously). I didn't slam my brakes but I have ABS and brand spanking new discs and pads all round... That's it! If he did however find anything not right or even suspicious he will investigate further. So if the car looks good like that then you're looking good too. All up it was 25 mins, scheduled for 45, which allows for investigations as mentioned above. Good luck to anyone out there about to go through. Let me know if you need some help
  8. Alright guys so I JUST got home from regency park...................I got through!!! First go and everything! To be honest, I was meticulous about making sure the car was up to standard and above all clean. I didn't even get one of the young guys that apparantly are way more leniant, I had an older dude who was fair all-round. My right castor rod bushe is starting to crack but have no give (yet) so need to get them changed. If anyone wants help and/or tips through the process I'm all ears and definitely up for helping out other skyline owners. What he checked and when: 1) Drove the car over the pit which has a concrete slab to 'hit' anything that's too low. I think the legal requirement is 110mm for any part of the undercarriage. 2) With car on, he got me to 'rock' the steering wheel slightly left and right continuosly while he checked steering rack and front suspension (in the pit) 3) All indicators and lights individually checked (parkers, low-beam, hi-beam, brakes, etc). 4) Spray winscreen washers- this is to check that the spray jets and also that the wipers clear the water properly (I bought new blades before going just in case)
  9. Items: R32 Front left guard/quarterpanel in BURGUNDY. Extra Info: Wanted in good condition with no dents, bends rust, paint peel etc. Couple of scuffs are ok if they can be buffed out. Contact Details: PM. Price and price conditions: $50-$150 depending on condish. Will swap for a brand new hybrid style intercooler, never used, includes end tanks size: 600x300x3" (I think) if guard is mint condish.
  10. Thanks mate! I'm sure I'll need all the luck I can get. And thanks everyone else for your help and everything
  11. sweet! i wasn't sure so i'll just leave it and see how i go. everyone wish me luck!
