^^^ I was under the impression that dish wash liqiud was no good for the cars paint due to PH levels and such. can anyone confirm this?

Hi all Planning on detailing the line before the SnS. I'm going to clay bar the car to get the paint clear of impurities. But want to remove all the old "products" that are on the paint first. I have never givin it a thorough complete detail and I'm sure that over the years its accumulated a nice layer of polish residue and wax's etc. So what should i use to remove all the old products that are on the car? normal car wash good enough? or is there a specific product? Any input / recomendations would be great. Cheers, Corey

Hi all i have my fishing boat up for sale. It never gets used so needs a good home. It is a 3.2 metre fibreglass boat with 2 seats, side trays, front storage area. it comes with oars and rollicks as pictured. my father (a fibreglasser/boat builder) and I built this boat and we put extra reinforcement in the transom to enable it to carry a motor up to around 5hp. I ran it with a 3.3hp and it never had a problem and due to its weight was quite fast across the water Note. motor not included in sale.. Its reasonably light and can be put ontop of a ute/4wd or a trailer by two people no dramas. The boat is in excellent condition and only has a few minor chips and scratches on the hull from general use. Come on people dont let it go to waste. Get yourself a Great Fishing boat for use over the summer. SPECIFICS..... ITEM : 3.2m Fibreglass Boat Condition: Great Reason for sale: doesnt get used and needs a good home Price: $500 ono. Location: Central Coast NSW Contact: post up here for any more details or Pm me on here if genuinly interested and ill give out my mobile number.

I'm in have to get the whale detailed though can anyone confirm my paperwork and money has been received? sent it last friday i guess by the blue NSW MEMBER banner i now have that the gear was received just wanna make sure im on the list. Cheers,

LOL at those mates. i have 2 aswell now wishing they got their license as soon as they were eligible... suck to be them and will always have a hilux as a camping/work hack, just prob a 4wd next. no matter what i do to it, it just keeps going and wants more. it's a very solid machine

Try searching the forums there are a few threads kicking around about trackday prep. they were fairly detailed too.

Hi all i have a front mount intercooler on my r33. it runs the cold side over the radiator fan to meet up with the standard cross over pipe. currently my boost conroller takes its signal off a line running from plenum to charcoal canister, its just t'd into it. I want to get a nipple welded into the cooler pipe to tidy everything up abit and i think my slight spike issue is related to it running the way it is. my question is where should i run the nipple up near where the cooler pipe meets the crossover pipe or closer to the turbo outlet on the way to the cooler? I heard running after the cooler is better due to pressure drop across the core but am unsure can anyone confirm this? all advice welcome but real world knowledge would be best.. Cheers, Corey

EDIT : stupid double post

Can i get confirmation that my fax / money has been received? Cheers, Corey

form faxed friday ( with my mebership gear ) money transfered friday also Corey,

Paper work faxed and money transfered friday... i sent my show n shine details n money at the same time.. i think sl!m was going to give you the heads up on this shell. Cheers, Corey

yeah ive had a few with the old changing of a cd or reaching around the car to get the cd wallet. fixed all that with a dvd player that takes usb input 8gb of music and a remote now.

me hopes the OP owns a good quality flame suit

^^ well said.. If she has indeed saved that money from the current job of a few months it would be in her best financial interest to save more and buy a car outright. if she sets up a dedicated savings account with a bank or credit union offering the highest interest rate she can earn a little more and actually use some of the banks money to purchase the car rather than them purchasing her by way of interest and locked in contract for x amount of years. If she hasn't saved it from the current job and she is in a situation where a loan is her only way then shopping around and learning as much as possible, as has been said would be the best way. atleast make a good informed decision. just something to think about. Corey,

33GTR FTW they were comparing handling and the 33 probably handled "too well" which made it feel a little dull to them thus lowering its rank. clarkson loved it - nuff said.

First car, the car i had on my L's was a 1989 nissan pulsar -1.6L of fury, great little car cheap to run and took a flogging. carby FTW. 2nd - 1997 Mitsubishi magna on red P's faster then the pulsar sure but FWD = FAIL 3rd - 1995 R33 GTS-t on the last year of my green P's (weekend warrior , still have it and still love it ) 4th - 1992 Toyota Hilux ute - daily, work, camping, paddock basher (faithful as hell though, they are tough little buggers) I was lucky and missed out on those nice you cant drive turbo super v8s on your P's laws they came in the year i bought the skyline and i used to get pulled over and the officers would look confused cause i had a smile on my face when they asked for my license then realised I was eligible to drive turbo.... was fun.. Next will be a GTR33 series 3 in 6months ish hopefully.

hey keen on a few interior pieces and front fender and door.. what colour and series ?? Cheers, Corey

^^^ as above skylines somehow manage to look so much better without the yellow canary.. probably perform on the street abit better too

Hey all Have sent the email to the insurance company and they replied with an acknowledgement and that they were investigating the new information i gave them with the other party ... still waiting to hear back. I'll give you all an update as things happen for those whom care.. who knows my experience may help some fellow sau'ers out in the future.. Corey,

I like the 400r side skirts when matched with the 400r front bar.. I like your original ones better as they suit your car.. if your looking to offload the 400r side skirts PM me im after a set Cheers, Corey

Hey all thanks for the input.. a little update for your you.. i spkoke to the general insurance ombudsman and a mate whom works for law access and have been advised to put details of my series of events and that the damage qouted doesnt match damage caused and to ask for proof of damage to take to a 3rd party repairer for a second opinion.. i have done this and await a reply.. Cheers, Corey

Thanks for the replies.. The accident was at about 5km/h max and all the was done was the very corner of my ute tray put a small "slice" for lack of a better word in the flat bonnet panel on the front of his tipper truck.. we both looked over the damage and agreed only the bonnet was damaged ( we couldnt work out who was at fualt) he also told me he was having some other work done to the truck so he would get another qoute to fix the bonnet from the same mob.. he showed me a qoute for parts a few days later i agree'd then a month or so later i get a letter from his insurer. i go over the letter and i suspect he has had all the other work put on me.. due to the qoute having headlights, light surrounds, grilles various clips etc.. an extra 1500 bux worth in parts alone.. can i just call and ask for proof of damage or will this make me at fualt.. or should i tell them to prove i was at fualt. or that i only want to pay for damage that was caused by the accident ?? I dont know whats the best route? Cheers, Corey

Yeah i think i am but wasn't sure due to the fact the other party has already been repaired..

Hi all Ok long story short got a letter from an insurance company saying they are looking to me to recover thier costs from and accident ( of which me and the other driver couldn't figure out whom was in the wrong) Unfortunatley i was not insured at the time due to changing insurance companies ( just really bad timing ) so thats not on my side anyway the qoute sent with the letter has a number of things replaced/repaired that i stongly believe were not damaged in the accident and some which it was impossible for the accident to have damaged ( spoken to a few other repairers but they cant qoute without pictures of damage to be sure ). So my question is can i ask the insurer for the pictures as proof of the damage. and can they be taken to another repairer for second/third opinions. and will an insurance company take these second/third oppinions into account? What should i do?? Any info would be greatly appreciated.. Cheers, Corey

Is there any "Enter By" date...? should have the car back together early next month and if it is i'll definately be there.
