  1. I have always used Meguiars fine cut cleaner (wash, fine cut, glaze and wax actually) - what exactly is the 'Scratch-X'?? Also, not many many maunfacturers put clear coat on their wing mirrors, necessitating extra care when cleaning.
  2. Hey, which PCYC? I work at the Lota club :uh-huh:
  3. AON Risk Services (brokers). By far and away the best quote I got from anywhere and no nasty fine print. They are not as small and dodgy as they sound, they specialise in commercial insurance. BTW 33t, rating 1, average risk suburb in Brisbane = way less than a grand with a couple hundred for the excess.
  4. As a 'rule of thumb' there are not too many 1000hp skylines around. The 30% general number is one that is easy to work out and possibly should be seen as a minimum number for loss in a drivetrain (because there is always going to some loss) - not as an extreme maximum number that is exponential or without limit ( in obvisiously extreme or high horse power applications).
  5. I think Neil (old bastard?) has a harness in his 4 door - anchored back to the child seat restraint. Seem to remember him saying it was only good (read legal) for track use, and for CAMS certification that the harness had to go the child bolts... Correct me....
  6. I don't know about actual calculations to work this out for a specific car. However, as a rule of thumb, 30% seems to be the number generally allowed for loss in a drivetrain.
  7. Is that an air horn in the boot??
  8. Shotgun on the centre console bin lid! You have mail
  9. Specs? RMS? Nevermind, looked it up all by my lonesome... 4x 40w RMS @ 4ohms 4x 80w RMS @ 2 ohms 2x 160w RMS Bridged mono Built-in 2 way, 18dB/octave electronic crossover, Bass controls
  10. I've been told that the 33t had the 32R brakes.
  11. Unfortunately the insurance companies don't really care how many doors you have....although judging by peoples responses on some insurance threads in here, I got an excellent deal (or they are paying way too much!).
  12. The four door is marginally heavier, like 30kg or thereabouts. This is a way small penalty to pay for the extra conveniance of increased access (yeah, yeah, dosen't look as cool, rah, rah - I have people in the back all the time). The boot is also a touch bigger I believe. Oh, and I love the fact most bogans can spot a Skyline, but the four door usually throws them
  13. Price indicator would be good (33t). I dont need them just yet, but if the price is right...
  14. Me thinks everyone is watching the cricket.....
  15. Is there a reason why I should have owned a yellow VL? So whats happening in Rocky on a Sunday night? (as little as in Brisvegas?!)
  16. Nope...?! You in Brisbane?
  17. You lot are on about your eleventy billion posts each. That was my fifth post on this thread.
  18. Thats 5 for me......
  19. BTW I used Meguiers professional fine cut cleaner (the same stuff I use on the paint). Worked well....
  20. How do you get the front cover off? The short answer is 'you don't'. They are sealed and if you can actually get them open by removing the gooey gunk, you will never get them back together again.
  21. Meggala is de man. He got all sorts of useful stuff on his site .
  22. Possibly interested in the wing.... Got no idea on the $'s - PM me with details and dollars if you dont get any other interest. Cheers.
  23. Don't see that it would be problem, you can get aftermarket kits to do this. Perfectrun have an 'eastbear' one for a mere $186.... over here I would also be interested in any pointers on a DIY jobbie, let us know how you go.
  24. Not going to argue the value of a good ABS system, however some of the early systems were a bit scary - as in not very well calibrated (especially for OZ conditions). I know this first hand from some of the old company cars I used to beat about in during the early nineties (in the days of my youth...sigh). My speedskyzer does not have ABS, is the system three channel or four channel, who has it, and used it? How effective is it?
  25. Shotgun on the center console bin lid! Will PM you
