I would do that but I believe I have to go back to the same inspection station. Is that right? I going to Blacktown tomorrow mid morning.

My NM35 failed the rego check today Going OS in 2 weeks so will have to pay out some dosh to get it roadworthy. 1) It needs a new exhaust as the join at the factory dump has almost perished, well the metal mesh covering it has almost parted. Also the main muffler under the car has big holes due to lots of scraping on a rural property I refrequent regularly. No don't ask..... So no problem as I'm planning to replace it anyway. It's just the plans have now been moved forward. I contacted Charleston Exhaust this arvo and they can have a look tomorrow. 2) 4 new tyres due to too much negative camber wearing out the insides. Only 24K on them. The car is lower than standard so having read the "whiteline swaybar group buy" someone else had issues with too much negative camber looks like something more to be done here. Though it might have to wait until I return from OS. 3) The right hand front inner rack end is worn. Kai garne - Nepali for "what to do?" So I'm up for about $1500 for the exhuast, $1200 for the tyres and alignment and whatever for #3. Number 3 is the real issue here. Help!!!!!

Hey there N, Yes, they do flip forward so suitable for a two door car. Cheers, Russel

Spotted grey C34 on GWH at intersection of GWH and The Northern Road traveling into High Street Penrith, NSW around 11:50 this morning. I was waiting in the front of the queue at lights heading towards Windsor.

Selling due to purchasing a set of Brembos and thus won't fit my car. I purchased these in Feb. They came of Bis-e-Bee's written off wreck. They have done about 5000kms. In good condition. Some gutter rashes. See photo 0457. Some scratches and marks from the accident, but should clean off with some buffing compound. See photo 0455. They are original OEM 17x7JJ. Tyres are Prodigy brand size 225/55/17 95V. Asking $350. They can be viewed or purchased from Chatswood on Mondays only or upper Blue Mountains any other day. Phone: 0425-231-966. Russel

I purchased the driver's seat (photo 0374 and 0377) in 1988 for my V6 Capri. Never installed due to the low seat belt mount points and didn't want to install racing harnesses. I then installed them in a TE Cortina in 1997 and removed when I sold the car in 2002. They both still have the custom mount plates. Passenger seat purchased from my father, who had installed it in his tipper truck and had written off. It has a small tear on the rear and one large tear covered with cloth tape. See photo 0381. Also has a shoulder cracked due to sun exposure in the tipper. See photo 0385. The passenger seat has a DMT approval plate. Please note this indicates how old the seat is. The driver's one does not have one as it is much older. Approximately late 70s. The driver's seat is in good condition for it's age and the passenger seat will need reupholstering. Dusty from being in a shed. Price: $600 for the pair or will consider separating. $400 for the driver's seat and $200 for the passenger. Pick up either in Chatswood on Mondays only or upper Blue Mountains on any other day, Also can be viewed in either place. Just either PM or phone to arrange. Phone: 0425-231-966.

I have a grey Stratos driver's seat for sale. It's in excellent condition. A little dusty from being in the shed. It has a lumbar pump and a rear pocket. It has recline option only. I purchased it in June 2007 for my Magna TJ Sports. I sold the car Sept 2010 but kept the seat hoping to use it in the Stagea (NM35). However, because the airbag connection to the original seat is an issue, I've decided to sell the seat and not risk losing my insurance due to playing with the connection. Paid more than $1700. The receipt is in my archived accounts somewhere. Will accept $1100 ONO. Can be picked up in Chatswood on Mondays only or the Upper Blue Mountains any other day. Phone: 0425-231-966.

Hi Sage, The OEM ones are Cibie so they'll cost a packet to buy. I think you can get them via Import Monster. There was a set a while back that went for about 19500 Yen. I bought a cheap 3" set from Ebay recently but not installed yet. Try http://cars.shop.ebay.com.au/Car-Truck-Parts-/6030/i.html?_catref=1&_fln=1&_ssn=bigboystoys_au&_trksid=p3911.c0.m282 These may do the trick. I have a standard bar and the outer plastic grill component has a big enough area to fit them. Russel

I'm pleased I can get it sorted. Andy, you're lucky to find a trailer with those kind of lights. The manufacturer of my trailer doesn't even have a computer so there's no way was he going to have LEDs for the lights. Dale, I had to resort to hand signals. Brings back memories....

I had mine fitted there too via Japlink Motors when I purchased the car. BTW, I was in there today as my indicators don't work when the trailer is connected. all other lights work fine. Apparently, the trailer requires LED lights so as not to draw too much current. Not sure whether this is true or not.

My fleabuy of Brembo calipers turned up from the US on the 5th. The rotors that were shipped are lost in transit. Lucky they are insured so I should get back the money. The calipers came with the lines and bolts too. Just need time to install all my goodies

Definitely was not me as I was in Penriff in the morning between 9:30 and 10:30. Supercheap auto, DSE and PetBarn. And the only time I see your car Dale is when I visit

I run 38-40 front and 36-38 rear. Definitely makes a difference to both handling and economy.

Surely, with it being the other party paying for the damage, you keep the car even though it's a write-off. Their insurance is paying for it nor yours. Or am I mistaken???? Also wouldn't accept anything less than the value on your policy. After all it's most probably agreed value not market value!!!

Dale, That'll probably be the one from JapLink I mentioned a few weeks back. I dropped into Japlink on 6th Feb and spoke with Adam. He mentioned there was another one coming our way. He thinks they live in Springwood, NSW. Rosella.

Hi all, I've just purchased from the US via ebay a full set of brembos from a 2005 350Z anniversary edition including brake lines. Shipped Monday via UPS. Three boxes in total. One box weighing 45lbs containing the calipers and 4 rotors in 2 separate boxes each one weighing 40lbs. There is a new set of ceramic brake pads included and the existing pads have about 2K on them. According to the seller, all in excellent condition. I've got Advan T7 18" wheels so should fit with no problems. Now just got to find the time to install them. What with the sway bars and links from Daleo also. I've got some busy times ahead. Rosella.

I don't need the bars as I have the Selby ones but I'm interested in the links when they become available. Great work Dale

Bugger, I'm away that weekend :-(

White Stagea ARX? turning right from Railway St into Help St Chatswood (NSW) 8 mins ago. Nice )))

Yeh, me and the missus were having brunch at "Fresh" in Leura. The Indian restaurant "Tamarind Kitchen" was closed hence our parking location. You were definitely exploring.

Here's another one for our cars: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/nissan-skyline-350z-Gtr-Brembo-rear-Calipers-Discs-/280630794605?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4156e6196d May consider these ones then look from front ones. :-)

I had a kakimoto on my R33 and it sounded excellent. Not noisy but gave a nice gurgle. The tail pipe was soooooooo big you could service the motor from it.

Adam@JapLink tells me someone in Springwood purchased one through them, though it's still in Japan... Got to be someone else and they're not on the forum. There is a bloke at Jax Tyres in Haberfield with a red C34 and he didn't know about the forum either.

Any time before April as hockey starts and not the last weekend in March either. 20th Feb is also out.

Saw a silver with black bonnet C34 on M7 near Richmond Road about 7pm and silver Axis NM35 on Great Western Highway at Blaxland around 7:30pm
