What is a really good spray on wipe off product for a cars exterior? To give it a good temp shine. Heard of it but can't recall what it was.

Meguairs Quik Detailer for quick clean outside

I got a cleaning product from meguiars for every part of your car Ruby :laugh: ill have it all with me later.

I thought I might try having a go fitting up the Blitz LM FMIC I bought ages ago.

Unfortunately, I can't get it to fit without cutting the reo - which is something I really didn't wanna do (specifically bought the Blitz cos I was assured I wouldn't need to cut reo).

... pondering taking a pass on it and selling it on now ... *sigh*

I've spent most of this week off sick, and got frustrated driving my other car all the time... Thought I'd rip the reo off and size up how bad the situation was.

So, removed reo, mounted the FMIC up, making sure it was high enough that the the bottom return pipe fits under the undertrays. So, assessing the reo, there's no way it can even fit no matter what I do - it hits on one of the top mounts. Sits perfect on the passenger-side, but drivers-side - not a chance - even if I moved the FMIC across as far right as I could. I'm bloody confused and exhausted :laugh:

No way that it's gonna fit under that mount:

Fits perfect here:

I'm just about ready to give up - anyone have any ideas..? :/

Gotta love bogan chicks in jap cars!

Heading up Greenhill Road in the middle lane (west bound) a car in the left lane is turning down a side street to Wayville, and the chick in the Liberty behind it swerves into my lane, forcing me to brake and swerve into the right hand lane. I'm on my horn and my brakes, then after she moves back into the left lane and I move back into the middle lane, she's giving me the finger and mouthing "f**k off" to me???

Cars all stop at ETSA corner, so I hop out to have a word with the bitch, and she runs the red light almost hitting traffic coming out of the city!!!

Hag :laugh:

IIRC that kit comes with the middle top bracket for both R33 and R34, are you sure you've used the correct top bracket? Have you got a pic of the top bracket mounting to the bottom of the hood striker?

I didn't get any brackets - ahh the joys of s/h kits. This is why I've had to try and guess about positioning and make up my own brackets :laugh: .. I think maybe it might fit if I mount it about an inch or more lower, but then I'd be worried about whether the lower piping is gonna fit. It seems like a very precise/tight fit to me.

This is turning into way more trouble than it's worth.

that jack is only 1300kg very cheap though proly cost you $100 to ship

normal cost is near 200USD, and being alloy it's lighter. even my supercheap special lifts the R34 rear end or front end with ease. so this one would be even easier since its a race jack it lifts with a few pumps.

sure these cost a pretty penny in oz in alloy ?

I shipped two huge sub woofers from usa for like 60 bucks insured. they weighed a shite load too

is it a return flow kit?

Im with Steve, different kits with the top centre mounting bracket mount in different holes - there should be two holes available from memory - def try the lower one. if youre making the bracket yourself it'd have to be a precise length ,as of course if it's too much over/under size, the FMIC piping won't line up with the standard piping properly

Yes, it's a return-flow kit.

I don't have much choice but to make my own brackets - it's turning out to be lots of trial and error - I think I might have it - i'm persevering!

I just hoped things would go a lot smoother than this!

So, had to remove the rear leaf springs from an Isuzu Tipper today.

The guy thought it would be ok to leave his 6 tonnes of wet sand in the back.

What should have taken an hour or two including setup for stands, unbolting, removing wheels etc, turned into an 6 hour job.

God i hate people sometimes.

He called us up 10 minutes after he dropped it off. Hoping that it wouldn't matter.

He was flying out to Syndey then onto a 10 night cruise ship thing.

Old bastard he is. Too slack to buy a new indicator stalk, he uses a condom on it to make it work, also his stash of porn in the cabin is something to be scared of.

    • Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.
    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
