The Sa Wasteland

go to nissan for timing belts

[Import S13]

Go to Motor Traders, and start from there.

Ryco Filters, Z145a i think is the part number for your oil filter.

Do the Fuel Filter also. Gates Timing belts, maybe replace your thermostat while you are at it.

Gerbox and diff oil, yeah, i guess people have their own preferences.

Just go over everything, feel the swaybar and links, check for cracks in bushes..simple things like that.

and water pump! since the front of the engines going to be off anyways..

Ooooooooo ARC

Yes you can see 2 pipes going into the cooler, One for each turbo

1 Gutted door

Also been speaking with CAMS today. Got them to send me all the info i need on making my car a Race/Rally car so i can drive it on the street hehe. Straight from the document

A dedicated rally car can only be used on public roads under the following circumstances:

To participate in an official CAMS event.

 To drive the vehicle to and from all aspects of that event.

 To drive the vehicle to and from official promotional events, including media days and displays.

 To drive to and from maintenance/repair establishments. This may include testing and evaluation.

 Any other activities at the request of the SA CAMS office.

Yes im doing some testing to and from Villis on a Friday night haha

good work luke

just had a bit of fun on RHD Japan and with Streeter

The Starlet better like all this Cusco/ARC/Bride and Carbing, ah well at least it will all be here by autosalon

[Aberax]

Have a look at this to see what you should get. I got belts and water pump from Motor Traders, and then the seals from Nissan, however some stuff had to be ordered in at both places.

Rant,

Coming home from a mates place tonight. Coming onto north east rd from Kelly street. Look left look right twice and go. According to the policeman this wasnt enough and i didnt come to a complete stop at the stop sign. $332 fine and 3 points

Unfortunately the vehicle must come to a COMPLETE stop. That means stopping before the line, applying the handbrake for a second (or 2, just to be sure), then treating the intersection as a "give way". Done too many driving tests (military especially) where thats an instant fail.

Anyone know how to find how many demerit points I got let? Or when they dissapear after a few years?

Cheers

They disappear after 3 years of the date of offence

If you've got 6 accrued (half) you'll get a "you're well on your way to losing your licence" letter that will show up what you've gained LOL

[Luke_ENR34]

Should be fine Matty, I lost 3 when i was 19 (speeding) and now im 22 so i should have 9 left.

Correct, when I was learning to drive, my Instructor said to stop at the line, and wait at least 5 seconds before moving off, of course making sure no traffic is coming the other way.

Do fixed speed/red light camera know which car on which lane the vehicle was speeding?

Today, I was sitting at about 50km/h in a 50 zone driving through an intersection that I knew had a fixed camera then mid-intersection BAM flash in the left side mirror and corner of my eye to the right a car appeared out of nowhere and braked hard... so at the time the car would of been side by side next to me or slightly behind - hope my truck didnt get in the way of the moron's numberplate or the fine getting sent to me instead...

yes they do, theres 2 extra pads in each lane. Even if you did obscure, they wont ping u

[Matty 31]

how hard could something be to find

i want an intercooler core. 450 x 300 x 75 (would prefer thinner but cant be choosy)

got one with outlets at either end, kinda want them at the same end for simplicity (like this)

however these ones have 3" outlets. bit too big for my application (2" max)

who else sells coolers with odd outlets like that, and reasonably cheap?

[BIT SUS]

matty, buy that one, we can customise it for you

[Matty 31]

matty, buy that one, we can customise it for you

may be a consideration yet

Nigel, where's your shop?

PM if your prefer, may come around and check out what you do one day if I'm snooping around that way.

you can get a kit from Kudos Motorsport Dion, but i guess you dont wanna wait for it seeing as your doing it all tomorrow.

Thanks, I did see those but Ive been told not to use the genuine nissan waterpumps, because they are generic to the 20/25/neo and therefore have an elongated hole that leaks...

go to nissan for timing belts

Been told this too, apparantly gates ones are noisy??

and water pump! since the front of the engines going to be off anyways..

Yeppo

Cheers guys

[Madaz]

when i was looking for my kits nissan was actually cheaper than gate and since there is nothing wrong with OEM might as well use it

people like Steve Camp (Manta Racing) only use genuine parts

[scandyflick]

oem nissan > 3rd party. pretty simple.

[Nightcrawler]

I'm not sure Steve Cramp would appreciate you calling him Steve Camp Steve .... he's not very camp at all (unlike yourself)

[Dohmar]

Ive only ever heard that from you. Been running gates belt for over a year and never noticed any difference in noise.

[BIT SUS]

does anyone know where the heck i can get some of these style clamps from today?

they are called "constant tension" , "preformed" or spring band clamps"

from my understanding, they are a factory-only style clamp, and are rarely sold aftermarket.

Tridon make them, as do a few other smaller brands.

need some 23 and 25mm ones TODAY, and have already tried the following:

sprints

repco

supercheap

universal fastners

motor traders

pirtek

enzed

CBC

any other suggestions?
