which one, the side windscreen?....... ;)

We calls thems "win-duhz" around here.

I got a call from o'briens just today actually. reckons into the 'thousands' to make a mould for my car, then get windscreens made.

so, basically, what you're both telling me is, the guy doesn't know what the f**k he's talking about? prrooobably should have picked up on it when he said "hmm, i've never heard of a ze-fire-oh". then he lol'd. pretty much put my entire mood into the gutter all day. el douche-o-matic. i'll call perth centre tomorrow and inquire. we have an o'briens agent here so das coo'.

rightey. cheers :P

Surely cant be that much? Ring around, tell them all you have 2 Ceffies with f**ked windshields, they can have a crack at getting either one out intact to make a mold and produce 2.

Mine would be easy to get out, no trim, the clips are unbolted, there's no water seal, it's just glued in...so just heat it up and gently tap it out, be carefull with it, and brace it around the outside to prevent it cracking anymore.

OR, ring O'Brien, and tell them to ship 2 in from NSW or Eastern States...after shipping costs it'd be cheaper than 3k like you said.

i stated 'side windscreen' because you didnt state whether it was front or rear.

they dont stock rear windscreens. thats $1500 straight from nissan :) ......... :D.

if its front all they do is ship wat eva is in there warehouse in nsw to your local shop and shipping is free as their just moving stock

      Removing Charcoal Canister

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.

      Purchase new air conditioning condenser, and receiver / drier

      If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.

      Boxes of oil?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.

      Import insurance in 2025

      Yes, and since RAA insurance essentially being swallowed up by the same monster that is NRMA insurance and all those other clowns, they are no bloody good now either. We dropped RAA insurance for the house a little while back because they lost the plot.

      I can tell you now, good luck if you're with NRMA (NSW equiv of vis RACV and QLD RACQ). Because NRMA are freaking horrendous to deal with for claims, even with a normal road car. Not to mention even more BS when they're in the wrong and didn't cancel a policy etc when they were meant to and make you jump through hoops for things.
