After seeing the above, I got this one for $30 + postage.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

Also bought this about 12 months ago from Germany. Great for rivnuts in hard to get at places, does both nuts and threads.

Not sure if the address is the same business, I just found it and used it for the photo etc.

Yeah I ended up going the same one, the only frustration was it doesnt come with M5 or M4 mandrels which would have been an obvious inclusion for such a compact tool. Who the hell uses rivnuts to hold an M10 bolt??

So, I'm not sure if this actually classifies as tools but I'm really happy with these. The transition between my garage and driveway sucks. Without some boards, it scrapes the front lip even at stock ride height it ruined my OEM lip.

I have to get rid of the old board and cut a 4 x 6 on angle to replace those old boards.

Half moon obstruction ring spanner - Take that you pesky inaccessible fourth turbo nut you!

It's not quite perfect, still jams against the turbo front outlet, but better than nothing...

Brilliant! Just ordered a set and I'll give them a go. Thank you!

Me, used the M10's for attaching my Grundfos water pump to a welded up pedestal which in turn is SS dyna bolted to the pump shed floor, now I can pump water from my bottom tank to my top one....hehehe

Also, what does everyone use to get to the water drain on the block, the one behind the turbo?

I tried a few different spanners and sockets and just cannot get a purchase on it, one thing I do know, when I finally get it out I an going to make one up with an extended head like 40-50mm hex bar and 50mm long as well.  Its a PITA to get to with anything decent.  Needs room for a breaker bar!!!

I cut a spanner in half then got a larger spanner on the back of it for leverage. Just enough room to turn it with the cut in half spanner after you break it loose.

Sort of; in that I have one in boxes on the shed floor.

When we moved out of the old place I've had to leave the hoist behind because

1/ I can't get 3 phase power here, and

2/ the shed roof is about 0.5m too short for the hoist I have.

So as this is kind of temporary (for a year or 3....), I grabbed one of these. Not unpacked or used yet, I haven't had a job that needed it so far but will have to change the sludge/oil in the bush basher soon enough and replace the water in the brake lines with brake fluid, both of which will give me a reason to give it a go.

Without having used it yet, thoughts from me are that it is very expensive (a full hoist is the same price or cheaper) and obviously won't let you stand under it but this is easy for clearance, has no install cost or requirements, is portable, and has no overhead clearance issues.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
