M35 Info

[Sunkist]

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

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

thanks

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...

Q.What dows on/off button do on the lower part of the dash near bonet release??

So much to learn... with Stagea...

Thanks

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!

Thanks now I can fix my rear wiper blade. I pulled on it (wiper blade) 2yrs ago and it didn't budge so I left it until now. I will go and have another play tonight.

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.

[zei20l]

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

[Daleo]

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?

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 ), 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

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

OUCH

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

[zei20l]

they will probably beat it out then if its not crumpled or anything....... youd be surprised what they can do!

[wht510]

Depends on the repairer. Some will just fill it full of body filler!

Got any photos of the ding? I can tell you whether it's going to be easy or hard!

[ironpaw]

Here ya go

[zei20l]

that will pop out and they will fill the rest

not all that difficult
