the complaince workshop is still waiting for dotars to come and complete an inspection of the CD's before they can be complied

funky had a knock on his door from two big maori guys from jpnz wanting to know where he got his manuals from and nobody has seen him since

some bad taste, about the wrong body being sent from kuwait isnt very nice, and the tassy miners, they have greaving families and u guys are making jokes out of em both :P

i think he is just too damn busy and totally forgot they were even meant to be sent :devil:

Here they are so far - keep them rolling in!

..and I don't think any have been in bad taste yet, ie it is very Australian to make jokes about bad things that are happening, it's part of the reason I think we have the best sense of humour in the world (when I was living in the USA, I had no problem talking sex, politics, or religion with my local friends. But humour, particularly sarcasm, was an absolute non event...)

1) "The guy posting them went home when the commonwealth games finished, and took them with him"

2) "global warming melted the stamps of the envelopes, so they have been returned to the sender, who accidentally put the wrong return address."

3) "an Australian Idol star has stolen them, as they were desperate for more CD's to record demos on"

4) "A miner in Tasmania has them, and he is having trouble getting to a post office"

5) A dingo stole them?

6) John Howard has ordered a parliamentary enquiry into their disappearance.

7) Envelopes were used as toilet paper in a time of crisis.

8) Cds were used by the kiddie & dog in a frisbee free-for-all game.

9) The CDs are now doing triple-duties as either a plate for meals, a mirror for applying make-up/brushing teeth, etc., or as a mirror once again for use to rack-up the current possessor's drug of choice for the day - all depending on the requirements of that particular time of day.

yeah but with an average post count of about 93 posts per day, i dont think he is gonna just stop posting on the forums because of this debacle... maybe im wrong but im guessing he's not back at work yet

if hes like me and he has this site as his homepage then if someone else turned his computer on and used the internet then that would count as a login I believe. so if someone lives with him parents or partner or roomate or whatever they may have used his pc

    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!
