did you replace it??

i dunno why they have to be oem, i had a look at the handle when it snapped and their weak as shit, so i made a stainless steel ring that i would weld onto the pin that the handle sits on. but noooooo has to be oem

no need to replace. I just cracked the handle off the cable sleeve. Just screwed it back into place and works the same. The handle is still attached to the metal cable so works. Its just broken off the cable sleeve (which is what the nut joins to)

What crack have you been smoking? The going rate for labour is normally $80+ per hour, they probably pay their workers less than $25 per hour but I don't know any stupid enough to charge so little.

lol don't get your knickers in a twist. I'm used to paying $25 an hour cos I just pay the mechanic's wages for the day. Mind you I have to tee up with the mechanic about 2 months beforehand cos obviously they don't make a profit on any work they do for me so other jobs get priority.

I pay whatever it costs the business for all the consumables, fluids and parts, and the mechanic's labour for the full day, i'll usually get lunch and brekky for the boys as well. They ring me up whenever they need cars or parts imported, or they need help troubleshooting a skyline. Plus I go in on the weekends and do all their invoices, ISO certification, insurance and all that shit for them, so I make up for it in my own way.

I only get em to do major work anyways. I do all the minor services at home.

I know that car. Had a chat with the owner when he was walking back to the car in the carpark at Alice Springs hospital. Offered to buy it off him about 3 years ago for about $800, but then CBF'd when I realised that I needed to drive a clunker from Alice to Melb.

Virgin boy you're a deadset dropkicked retard if you buy something that old. You have enough issues with a car that's 20 years old, you think you'll be any better off with something older?

www.revzone.com.au for a second quote.

Did my 200k service. I was down there last week and they had a r35 GTR with the engine pulled out. Engine has to come out when upgrading turbos as the manifold is attached to the turbos

Will do thanks

Wonder which will be cheaper I'm stingy / poor :D

well none will be cheap per se, as we were discussing earlier all up ur looking close to 2k no matter what. If ur brake pads need changing a bit over. All depends on if there are any issues with ur car further to the standard checks, fluid changes, filter, spark and belt changes etc. There's no way to know for sure till uve started and sussed it all out :P

      I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet

      Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.

      No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.

      I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
