  1. Had this happen to me on various electric motors over the years I've have success with putting the armature into an electric drill and polishing it with 1200 grade sandpaper. This will take the build up of carbon and dirt built up over the years on the copper. Reassemble then see how it goes. If this fails then you will have to look at the brushes as they can, as well, build up gunk and oxidize and fail to take the current to the armature. If its the brushes then all I did was go to and electrical repair shop, for power tools, with a set of vernier calipers and went through brushes until I found the right size and soldered them into place. If this fails then you've got to look at the armature or the winding itself and an electrical repair shop is going to have a poke and a prod at it. My money says its the brushes
  2. Ah the same as the GTST ones ! I think I got three sets in my garage some where. Or at least two sets . . . . oh my oldtimers disease is getting baaaaaaad !
  3. Pics of these "wind deflectors" you speak of ? ? ?
  4. Your talking on a R33 right ? Had the same thing happen with mine along with the little plastic push clips/studs, that went to god, that secure it to the metal clips. In the end I went and got some stainless steel domed allen key head bolts and bolted it back together. Then stuck it to the window frame with quality double sided automotive tape
  5. Oh Johnny, Things are opening up now after covid and you know the cure to your woes . . . . . . . DRIVE BABY DRIVE . . . . . . . And you know where. Fix it fix it now . . . . . .
  6. Yes way! Put that money in any bank and see what kind of interest rate they will give you on it. That's one of the reasons why the value $ rate of climb so high as well ! People are looking for a high rate of return on their investment
  7. Is it just me or is there something really wrong with the wheel alignment on that 350z ? ?
  8. Seems you have sort of answered your own problem Hmmmm . . . In my opinion get rid if that cone filter and use and original one or multiples of one All it doing is sucking hot air into the engine for the hot engine bay What does the original air box look like ? It can be a starting point to re-engineering it. Basically you need to convert that entire guard corner to an insulated area for a filter to sit that is pulling cold air from the outside of the car. Here's an example of what can done on my R33 a while ago using the original cold air intake
  9. Dude you gotta give us more info like: Model of car ? Alarm ? Have you done anything to it recently ? Etc Etc The more info you give us the more we can help
  10. Oh no I made a mistake ! I wouldn't buy a 2021 BMW M8 Competition F93 Auto M xDrive ! Its the 2021 BMW M8 Competition F92 Auto M xDrive I was after ! ! ! Don't need four doors . . . . . But you, in the end, are correct. Got house buying priorities first at the moment
  11. Don't be dericulus ! For a $185 ? I got the BMW M8 Competition F93 Auto M xDrive
  12. Funny you should mention starter motors ! Mine went as well. Second hand around $150 Re-coed with warranty $185 ! Guess which one I went with !
  13. Have you checked the clutch pedal box is intact ? They are notorious for breaking the spot welds. Sometimes it can be hard to see as you've got to flip upside down in the foot well to see it !
  14. Man you gotta give that little tikes cozy coup an roof chop ! 10cm to start !
  15. I have, over the years given this advice as much as possible: Are you confusing the way the car rides or how the car handles ? Change the anti-roll bars ( that's sway bars ) FIRST. If you change the handling characteristics, from a body roll ( sway ) point of view, you may well find the present shock/coil over set up OK. This in the end will be a personal choice being affected as to how you use the car. Saying this, on my R33 I went for 27mm Whiteline (which is solid) front and factory 27mm R33 GTR rear (which is hollow) anti roll bars. Another bonus is you may well save by not having to buy a set of coil overs you never really needed !
  16. Bahahaha ! Fixed and modified for the neighbors kid this: Max Force Shadow Hawk 100 ! Replaced the two piece plastic barrel with an single piece aluminium one and rough spiral honed it internally to get a bit of spin on the projectile Replaced the air sealing mechanism. Replaced the air pump mechanism with a decent mountain bike pump with increase spring pressure. Now fires out to around 200ft( Im sorry 60m) but not very accurately though ! And before you ask it fires water soaked paper "bullets" that splatter when they hit. BLOODY COVID LOCK DOWN MADE ME DO IT !
  17. Man whats happenenen in the land of the maple leaf with the 32 ?? Its been like a billion years since you posted with progress !
  18. Is that because its the only bull-bar equipped Skyline in the world ? ? ?
  19. Oh you killjoy ! You took away the link ! We were just getting warmed up ! And I really like that aero package on that 34. Looks like the aerodynamics of a . . . . . . Lambo . . no no Ferrari . . .wait wait . . Maclaren . . no no that's not it . . . . ah got it - parachute
  20. Also a luggage boot rack for a R33 Series 1 please. The one that will fit over the rear spoiler because I don't want to change the aerodynamic down force by removing it.
  21. Now that's just ridiculous . . . . I was looking for a bigger boat !
  22. And a R33 tow bar that has the facilities for a bike rack as well for me please
  23. I think in NSW you cant sell them just a plates . . . . so how about a barter or trade . . . Soooooo . . . I got goats . . and approximate carcass price / weight would end up at around 65 goats or around $600 ! ! ? ? ! !
  24. Oh Noooooooo ! Does this mean I've got to throw my RB25DET Pro version into the bin now . . . . . Damb ! I gotta start saving up my little lunch AND lunch money again ? ? ? 2 minute noodles ! 2 minute noodles ! 2 minute noodles ! Save Save Save !
