  1. That looks hawt! Nice side exit exhaust.
  2. Nice work Leon!
  3. Without wanting to offend you; the price is far too high. I'm not disputing your outlay, but an off the shelf set of universal polyurethane swaybar rubbers is $20. They will do exactly the same job as an overpriced OEM set, and last just as long. Cheers, Dale.
  4. Not really, just thought your thread needed a cat with ripped abs. But then I though of this! They must've been separated at birth? Weird huh?
  5. Winning! High temp paint will be better than Powder coat; P/C is only rated to 200ish deg.
  6. Just look at the Japanese dereg certificate.
  7. Exactly, that's what the forum is here for. It's an easy fix, if that's what it is. An unforgivable miss by the brake specialist though.
  8. Free odometer windbacks?
  9. Just give them a rub; Plenty of poke.
  10. These actually only have the one bleed point, but the internal porting ensure the air from both sides rises to the bleed point. Best of luck, it's easy to miss the simple things sometimes, and the brake "specialist" doesn't sound like much help either...
  11. A 32 GTR rotor is 32mm; min thickness would be around 30mm. Rotor width won't stop the calipers from working, there is more variation in piston extension with worn pads (6mm approx) as compared with new pads. The pistons simply push out further to make contact with the rotor. You can run the pads down to the backing plates, on a min thickness rotor; and still keep the pistons captive. Good suggestions from 3Katz, and normally they are quite easy to bleed. Did you push the pistons all the way back into the caliper to remove as much air/fluid from the calipers before starting? Obviously the bleed nipples are at the top on both sides? Silly question, but I've seen people fit Sumitomo's upside down, then go mad trying to bleed a caliper that will always be full of air. Once 1 piston pops out, compressed air won't work. I found it was necessary to lever the pistons out gently with a pair of levers in the dust boot groove. If you protect the caliper and pistons well, and the shafts of whatever levers you use; there is nothing wrong with doing this.
  12. Maybe get a set of these; it'll draw peoples attention away from the dogs balls.
  13. I'm on it bro, hopefully get a bit done this weekend.
  14. Looking forward to seeing these results.
  15. To test the BOV; cut a piece of sheetmetal the same shape as the mounting flange, and clamp it between the mating faces on the pressurised side of the intake. If the noise changes, or idle/ response improves, it was leaking.
  16. They definitely sound like they're trying to make a sale. Split the calipers & check the internals out; it's not hard to do, and if the seals are ok, you can just reuse them. The sandwich O-ring can't be bought new anyway. Just mark each piston & seal & put them back where they came from.
  17. Tez is using an Eonon Double din in his Evo; maybe you should have a look and see what it is like? Sounds good, but he was still working out some of the functionality when I was last in it.
  18. You did a cracker of a job last time Theo! A Harry's monthly meet could be a great option. A mate with an Ex Street Machine cover blown XB Coupe gets down there with his club sometimes, seems quite family friendly too.
  19. Good to hear you found the pieces for your wheel mate.In Aaron's defence, he's not actually on this forum; nor has he ever been. When he stripped the car, his father kicked him out of his home, and had the partially dismantled car removed by Simsmetal and immediately destroyed. I'm not saying you shouldn't feel hard done by; but I can assure you, he had far more important things to worry about than some covers for your steering wheel. If he'd had the pieces, I believe he would have given them to you. He is a stand-up guy, and a good friend of mine. Glad to hear it's getting toward the end, you must be pumped.
  20. That's a great result Nick; I love it when good engineering produces good results. You must be super pleased that you went the extra way to finish those details.
  21. I have one of these ones Duncan; as long as you lube the screw and ramps it works great, & will last fine for home use. You can use it in very tight spots, which is why I ended up with it.
  22. Wallet is not full enough. That's where I keep my cable ties & Backpacker ballgag. I never wear pants; had legs & tockley tattooed with jeans pattern; Epic skinny jeans.
