So those who have water craft on here, who do you use for insurance and whats the sorta cost?

i had my 18 ft nerues with sgic valued at $ 25g and i cost about 550 a yr from memory i did it at the boat show once the 25g was broken down into parts ie so much for the boat and so much for the trailer and so much for the engine .

i think club marine is another populer one as well

drivers side, you cant really see it, but the nut there is completely rounded.

passenger side aint much better, its slightly rounded as well. oh joy of joys.

im guessing that at some point in the cars history, its needed new rear brake lines, and the "mechanic" that did it was actually a neanderthal and used a hammer and a club to undo to the lines.

so i guess ill be spending today hunting down a few new hard lines.

You would be surprised...almost all of mine are similar to that, hence why i haven't had the braided lines installed yet, purely because the bolts wouldn't undo, and began to round off.

Thats not to bad...We're looking at 2005/06 rxt s/c seadoo's atm need a new toy to play with :P

Anyone able to help me out? Need someone to go to JIS, buy me some R33 Tie Rod Ends - $175, and meet me somewhere, ie vilis, and i shall pay you back. I need the suckers in my hand by Saturday morning. If you are able to help out, send my mobile an sms on 0411876139 with your name and number and i shall call you back.

Edit: If they aren't in my hands by Saturday Morning, i will most likely be unable to attend the track day...there is also $50 in it for who ever does collect them for me.

Boost down to JIS yourself on Saturday morning? Leave early enough to be down there at like 8am when they open? Leave yourself all day to put them in

Wise Choice Tyres & More at Lonsdale are installing them, along with new rear tyres and front wheel alignment. I then need to get to work at 9am at Noarlunga.

What's the highest oil temp you can reach before it's justified to change the oil due to it breaking down?

In the extreme heat going up extreme hills (extreme... f**k yeah), my oil temp eaches about 105... but that's only in rare cases.

Most of the time it sits below 90... usually 80.

mine are like that

have to use a multigripper unit to grab them, one of the real good ones that claim to grip anything.

in fact, Im going to try to take the front r32 gtst rotors/calipers/a1rm pads and braided lines OFF again, same with stagea, and install the r32 gtst fronts to the stagea

I do NOT want to run bendix pads with 2-pots at the track. 40mins = no pads.

just that I AM a neanderthal with no knees

Ive been in the JMW GTR when its getting severe punishment and it sits on like 60 lol.

Brendan, want another set of R32 GTST 4 Pots??

Got discs and calipers.

cheers, discs are all good, got spares.

put the r32 gtr calipers fron the sedan onto the stagea just now.

probably sell the stagea calipers and grab some r32's to replace the track cars

so, the stag has 4-pots now and new a1rm track pads, got a spare set too. going to test drive now and bedin.

penrite sin 600 brake fluid

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
