Hey man,

i got the same deal on my S2 RS4S :/ 5 year + 12 months roadside. (doesnt help tho as i already have Racv)

the 5 year covers mainly parts only (including the turbo though), but no clutch!

i've had it for ~4 months now and hasnt missed a beat.

it was complied AFTER i put the deposit on it. which included BOV, 3" exh, FMIC, POD, Carbon Fibre Hood, and Xenons :cool:

also had my timing belt done when i got an engine cover changed, and they supplied the parts and some of labour costs.

quite happy with the deal so far :down:

hope you enjoy it, cos i know i have enjoyed every moment of mine!

Tomas.

hey Tomas

according to the website, the 5 year covers parts and labour? i wouldn't really trust it though

as for clutches, i guess they could argue user abuse

did your ad specify any of the extras (i.e. BOV, exhaust etc.)?

cos the ad for mine didn't have anything listed really, so i'm assuming it's stock?

cheers

hmmm . . . looks like i need to make some phonecalls to save the xenons

should i find out who is doing the compliance and ring that workshop?

or should i be talking to the importer?

...

I would talk to all of the above; I don't know how the system works in your particular case but it's eventually up to the workshop doing the compliance whether to remove the xenons or not. So I would talk to them and make sure that you have a good understanding that the xenons are

- your property (you paid for them) and

- not to be damaged or taken

I guess that in an extreme case they may refuse to comply the car with the xenons on (like mine did), in which case it may be up to you to do the (temporary) halogen conversion. Just see if you can borrow a halogen bulb adapter plate or do like my compliance workshop did and cut one out of a milo tin lid with a pair of tin-snips (no I'm *not* kidding). It only has to see you through compliance...

I got my xenons butchered and I'm now stuck with crap looking lights which are focused all wrong and too high, are yellow and frosting up badly (and I can't take the lights apart to clean them because apparently the b*stards glued them together) and the sh*tty milo-tin-lid bulb adapter is hopeless - it doesn't locate the bulb properly at all - and as a result I am blowing a H1 globe about once every 1-2 weeks (sometimes they last a few weeks, depends on whether I replace them with a $5 globe or a $15 one). </end rant>

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
