  1. My bro had a similar leaking issue with a crank seal, couple of months after being replaced it started leaking again. Turns out the crank was damaged and chewing up the seal
  2. I did the calipers on my s14 with VHT caliper paint, the stuff is awesome. 5 years on, still no peeling or discolouring, plus the spray pattern is very even and doesnt splatter, unlike the cheap stuff First thing i did was strip them back with a dremel and a wire attachment, then carefully masked the pads, all the bolt heads at the back, bleed nipple, brake hose and disk/hub, plus the rest of the wheel arch and suspension. A good cleanup with wax and grease remover, then about 3 coats of silver, let it dry, followed by three coats of clear. The VHT stuff doesn't require primer and cures with the heat from your brakes Its about $20 a can so not cheap, but one can of colour and one can of clear will do the job with plenty left over, more info here - http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/caliperpaint/
  3. The Maxima's are pretty underrated and plenty of car for the money. The engine is great, plenty of room, build quality is decent and its pretty decent to drive. My mate has one with 190k on the clock and its running strong as, and I just did a service on my mother in laws car with 120k. Main troubles with them are door locks and drivers side engine mount. The front shocks will also go around 120-140k. My main complaint would be overly soft suspension though, they really need a decent spring and shock combo
  4. Yeap been there. Amsterdam is freaken awesome
  5. Euro stuff is always good. But I been liking Penrite a lot lately, my 35 loves the 10-40 everyday synth stuff for less than 50 bucks a bottle
  6. Back in stock at my local Costco in Sydney, just changed colour now
  7. Arcan jacks at Costco in Auburn for 150. Heaps here, in red now
  8. Do those wheels come with a snapback and some illest stickers??
  9. As far as I know, due to direct injection, the carbon builds up in the intake manifold and creates all sorts of performance issues. Doesn't happen with normal injections setup as the fuel helps wash off carbon deposits. Some late model Audi's with tfsi engines are badly affected as well
  10. 250 is fine for a runabout. I get about 600 kays/tank and performance is about the same as a base spec falcodore with less torque down low. Not looking forward to carbon issues tho
  11. Just get some 303 Aerospace the stuff works great on all interior plastics
  12. It's probably the sensitivity of the new speakers, lower than the originals and hence lower volume at the same input levels.
  13. For me, and a lot of pro detailers, rain is no reason to run and hide but a good chance to test the protection of the wax or sealant. Especially when its a new product
  14. When did Costco stop selling them? I thought it was pretty sweet for the price and picked one up when they had heaps
  15. An unhealthy obsession with the male anus?
  16. I read somewhere yesterday that a new GTO/GT3000 will coming out instead, with Hybrid tech. Similar to the upcoming R36
  17. Sounds like Elegant Skyline is back for more trolling attempts
  18. How To Suck at Trolling, written by Elegant Skyline 1. Think of an awesome trolling idea 2. Rush to post your awesome trolling idea on some random forum 3. Watch your awesome trolling idea fail, miserably 4. Try to act cool and carefree 5. Watch your awesome cool acting fail, miserably 6. Pull out a last ditch trolling idea, one that you saved for emergency purposes 7. Watch it crash and burn, miserably 8. Bail! 9. Fap furiously, then repeat the above steps on another random forum
  19. Where is your earth cable connected? I always extend mine and connect them to the metal frame under the dash, under a nearby screw. As far as I remember hooking earth to the factory loom was always troublesome
  20. I had a cheapass cannon on my auto r31. Big mistake it lasted half an hour before being ripped out and replaced with an xforce twin tip muffler.
  21. JETPILOT. or southern cross
  22. I was going to say the same thing, price is a bit high for a two year old car, but then checked carsales. Man these things hold their value something epic. Wont find many GTS models under 35k (only a small handful), some caryard is even selling a brand new one for 48k So in this case, price is fair
