Cool. Thanks for that. It seems quite stiff and as there was no locking clips I didn't want to rip it out and break it unintentionally :)

no clips. its just held in by the ends.

first times always tight :3some:

and where would one get this special blade and perhaps a part number

thanks

I normally renew the front pair, and cut down one of the old ones to use on the back; as Aaron says, pre bend it to suit the curve.

Plastic backed blades are shit; not flexible enough.

I only use the rubber ones with two stainless strips in them; over the counter at Repco is the only place I can find them anymore...

as Dale said. no special part, just cut it down to size.

i use the teflon stuff. had it for about a year now and it still works as if they were brand new!

Is the rear qtr panel on the M35 replacable? Or is it part of the whole body?

My wife cleaned out a brick fence while backing my car out...

Just wondering of the driver side rear qtr panel is replaceable.

Cheers...

EDIT: I think this is it?

fuuuuccck man.. even your light was gone.

i think they angle grind a section out if it cant be bog fixed. and weld a replacement and fix n paint.

Depending in the scale of the damage. You might be up for a new rear quarter.

Not a bolt on part; extends up to the roof at the C pillar, and all the way forward to the rear door...

Taken a pic?

yup, cut the spot welds and replace the panel.

if you were in sydney i can supply a 2nd hand rear quarter if you need it. but that will be gone pretty soon

As in someone is buying it?

I'm gonna just go thru insurance anyway...but want to see if they can just pay me the $$$ instead of having them repair it seeing its just panel damage. I know RACV allows this...

then I'll just hit up some cheap 2nd hand parts (already have tail light landed for $150) and get a decent import repairer to fit and fix it all.

You'd think choosing an oil wouldn't be so difficult, however it seems that choice of oil has the possibly broadest range of opinions of all.

so Iamhe, after 5 years of trying different oils have you settled on one or still are you still experimenting?

There are still a couple I'd like to try out (the new Royal Purple HPS sounds interesting and my curiosity regarding the NEO oil can only lead to one result :rolleyes: ), but since I have over 220,000kms on my car I will be sticking with what I have found to "feel" the best - Motul 300v Chrono (10w40) with either HKS, Power Enterprise or Greddy magnetic oil filter with 10,000km changes.

As a side note, I am only going back to Motul because GW Sougi S6000 is discontinued.

Didn't I hear GW are doing a Sougi replacement? I'm pretty curious about NEO and ULX-110, heard great things about the ULX, but it's not fully synthetic.

Bad luck on the car Ironpaw... pics? Is it bad?

How bad?

I damaged mine early this year... made be sick to my stomach, but it was repaired and not replaced.

Probably a writeoff if it had to be replaced :P

Doesn't look like much in this pic, but the rear quarter was split right through leaving a hole roughly 20x5mm.

Yeah, heard that a while ago, but no further info.

OUCH

I don't think mine is that bad...damage is superficial mostly and the dent is mainly near the fuel cap area...

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
