Yep, sure was! I didn't see you. What were you in?

Insurance! want a better deal/better company: 3rd party fire and theft current is $300 mark for racv......... GO Just car seems marginally cheaper but requires more info on modifications which may stuff u up right? what are people experiences with claims and slight mods or things being worn ie: brakes were on the border line and ran up arse of some1 else did insurance pay?

It had a slight miss in drive ~ 2 weeks before this happened, was idling at 700-900rpm, I didn't think much of it, ran injector cleaner, new batch of premium and disconnected battery, all was sweet. When I was told coil, it connected the dots. Others on SAU have suggested u cant really test coils, whats your take on that?

Hi guys! I have a problem with my r34 gt-v (non turbo 2000 model)where the orange engine light comes on and stays on after 4 mins of driving(now it comes on after a minute) a mechanic got the fault code which is 21- “ignition signal primary” after taking $44 from me he told me it was a coil pack and the next day took em apart and tested them and said they were fine and charged me another $120!!! (labour) done some of my own research and some ideas of what it could be is: COIL PACK, IGNITER UNIT/switch..... although i think the igniter units are on the coil packs in the r34’s. so..... what would u guys do from here? How much for new coilpacks? Spitfires? Pay another mechanic to test more competently? If so who? Keep driving it until the problem is easier to find? Will this do “Warning damage to the manifold!” lol i mean engine. Thanx in advanceJ! Slinky

Hey, have a miss in the engine of my skyline gtv:( its very intamitant and only happens when in gear at idle. any suggestions? we have disconnected the battery incase its electrical just to diagnose. my partner thinks its spark related : coil packs, plugs, leads. it does it whepleasen its cold and hot........ suggestions of what it could be and jhow to fix and diagnose it please thanx

Yep; sure is. I found out they are a smidge different (nothing you'd see with a naked eye so I've been told) Most quotes are around 250-275 for sedan

Thanks guys, I'll give them a ring Chantalle

Someone I know got frustrated with my P plate falling down off my windscreen, and attempted to force it to stay up but smacked my windscreen with there knuckles, now I have a huge crack that starts in my passenger side top (where the P plate sits) down to my rego label (Bottom passenger side) Can't be fixed as it's a 'spider web crack' not a chip. Is slowly getting larger. Been told it'll take 7-14 days to get one in Bendigo as they don't keep them on hand (unlike the commo's and falcons) Question is: 1) does any one know someone good and cheapish in the western suburbs (pref St Albans/Sunshine/Cairlea ect) that I can get it done at? 2)Will an R34 take another windscreen? I've heard they'll take a Ford Falcon windscreen...true/false? Cheers Chantalle

Hamish - Yeah I do. It was posted as a conversation point to get people posting and interacting. Do you think before you reply??? - Chantalle

+1

I'll take the whole truck I spot sexyness

Totally agree if it can be fixed road-side it shouldn't be used.

On one of my recent pull overs (P plates on a Skyline, I get pulled over ~2 times a week in Bendigo) the cop was trying to defect my car and failing, so told him was wasting his time and mine. He then told me that tecnically he could get me for the huntsman spider that had just wandered across my windscreen as it was 'in my line of sight' That provided my LOL for the day.

In recent times I have realised how many bull shit technicalities you can get done on. Here are a couple of examples, please feel free to add to 'The bull shit list' *Empty wiper water bottle *Blunt Wiper blades *Air freshner from the rear view *Not having matching front tyres (found this out on Monday when I had my tyres replaced) *Xenon headlights (stolen from another thread)

Thanks Juliette. Knowing my luck it'd be one of those things the painter would forget and I'd assume they would know or not think of.

Bike chain for a car??? Is this what you had in mind??? (See Below) I'm totally suss of any sort of tow truck with no signage....and anything without plates. When I started working for City Link I started looking at people's plates (have no idea why) and have just kept doing it.

Lol I noticed, the paints code thread lists like 10+ different whites

This might seem a tad paranoid and all but has anyone else noticed the disturbing trend of SAU forum members having their cars stolen???? We advertise on the forum what we drive, what it's spec's are, what we've got under the bonnet, in the boot and underneather; Lot's of us even advertise where we live down to the suburb, and where we work (without even noticing) perhaps we need to stop sharing so many details publically. I don't think anyone on here would do it but it doesn't stop someone signing up and just watching our posts and virtual garages. Chanz

Sh!t. Yet another Skyline from the Western Suburbs :S

Alvin- LOL! If U speak no engrish, why you write and read engrish??? Was definatly a scam. I'm selling my BMW 318I on Carsales at the moment and i get about 2 scam emails/sms a week...in comparrison to my 1 genuine enquiry a month.

Hi, Thanks for your help. I totally overlooked it (Was actually looking at that plate) so the answer to my own question is KV2 (Athletic Silver)

Hi guys, I may have finally found someone to fix my giant ugly ding (thanks to an idiot with no insurance) however the next question is.... Which silver is my car??? I have had a scout around under the bonnet and can't seem to find a paint code on any of the placards. There is 3 possible silvers listed for R34's (Thanks N1GTR for the Paint codes thread) KR4 - Sonic Silver KV2 - Athlete Silver WV2 - Sparkling Silver I'm guessing that KR4 would be 2 shades darker than KV2, if this is the case I believe my spoiler might be KR4, as there is the slightest colour difference (smidge darker than the car) 1 Photo added (Will add more later, when I can get to my computer) Any help with the paint coder or suggestions on the ding would be appreciated.
