  1. Clearly not. Anyway, gone.
  2. I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
  3. Why would you not fit the biggest possible brakes?
  4. My understanding is that UV tends to accelerate the aging process. If the car has been garaged, then you could probably get away with extending beyond 10 years. FWIW, in 2015, I had tyres on my 180B SSS that had a 3-digit code (2 for week, 1 for decade), ending in 0, so could have been more than 30 years old, but still worked fine. I did replaced them very quickly, though, once I discovered what the code meant!
  5. Free to a good home. RB20DET (GTS4) engine block. Has the reinforcing girdle. Pick up from Tarneit. Just need it gone.
  6. The gearbox in my R32 GTS4 (now with RB25DET) has just over 300k on it . Life includes some track time. Has had one change of oil in its lifetime. I rev match on down changes. I don't have any problems with synchros or gear crunching.
  7. Can I suggest a 15W50 oil is too heavy. Its a brand new engine - you should be able to run something like a 10W30. Shove some steel wool into your catch can - more technically "oil/air separator" - so that the oil vapour has something to condense on.
  8. That switch turns the tail lights on.
  9. Does the rear window washer work?
  10. WTF? What spark plugs did you use? Gap? Have you cleaned the injectors? Shouldn't really have caused your problem, but refit the cat.
  11. I recently replaced my speakers. I got a brand called "Hertz" from No Limit Sound in South Melbourne (nolimitcsv.com.au). DCX460 is a 6x4 two-way coax speaker for the door. A minor mod required to utilise the existing mounts. And DCX160 is a 6.5" direct replacement for the rears. (if you're not in Melb, then I believe some Autobarn stores stock them)
  12. Yeah, something like those. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
  13. I'm wanting to replace the pipe joiners on my RB25DET. Anyone know where to find appropriate sized silicone segments. (tried Autobarn, but they are too short). Also, the joiner from the crossover to the first pipe is a slight reduction. And one of the others is a 30deg bend (most appear to be 45s). TIA
  14. Just went and visited my local Nissan dealer. I have a new assembly on the way! Ok, $285 later, but available.
