No point splitting up PM and PNM Alex. Might as well split up AWD and RWD C34's if you are going that way... and manual and auto configurations.

I reckon keep it simple and have it split into engine types.

C34, 260RS, NM35, PM35.

Do like the idea though

I wasn't going to split up PM/ PNM, I just couldn't find a way of writing it without looking like I was splitting it up!!! Did you think I was being special

Anyways, I think s brief note of the cars mods would be needed too like - C34- GT3076, nistune, Manual AWD - if you get my drift.

I'll work at getting this sorted when I get some time, a mod might have to update, but I'm happy to collate info.

what ya get done for ?

[ironpaw]

what ya get done for ?

ride height and tint...

Nothing I can do about ride height...I dont think my coilovers clear the 100mm requirement even on their highest settings!

have to go back to stock???!

Funny thing is, I saw the HPU car ahead, he was busy issuing a ticket to someone. I drove at the limit and parked home (it was about 500m away). Next thing I know the HPU is in my driveway, lights flashing and all.

I guess he was "gracious" enough not to give me a fine...apparently I was going to kill people because my ride was too low and windows were too dark...

Interesting that when I was pulled over by HPU last May they had a peek under the car and didn't say anything about my height...and my car was even lower back then!!!

you modded the car, dont blame the cops

lol attitudes are different in the stagea section.

do you actually have tint on the car? the c34s came with "privacy" glass (not tinting) on the rears and cargo area that is very dark - but is legal

It was tinted by the previous owner....I've been pass so many RBT stops without any hassles I don't know why this douchebag had a hard on for my stag.

The rear glass had the factory privacy tint, the previous owner tinted the front to match. FFS it even passed roadworthy when I rego'ed it in Vic...

I guess someone needed to make his quota...

Typical holier than thou reply I'd expect from you...

Soooo, sittin' watching Resident Evil; Apocolypse (obviously couldn't spell Apocalypse) the bit in the church with the "Brain Critters", and I hear a funny noise outside.

Flicked on the floodlight, slip on the pluggers and head out to the patio. Shit! Left the BBQ on; that was a lucky one.

Turned to walk back inside; a frog jumped on my thonged foot!

Shit myself, jumped about four feet in the air; squealed like a little girl and nearly fell over in a puddle.

Meanwhile; the cat is sitting 10 feet away watching me dancing like Peter Garret on PCP...

If cats could laugh...

Now I'm all

f**kin' nature...

hahah good movie. just watching it myself

Didn't you lose your licence? Did you get it back?

Bad luck man. You still got the stock suspension?

[Daleo]

Been looking around at power steering coolers. Not keen on running a second hand one, rather just buy a new core and be done with it.

Figured I'd try the local guy, in my case Repco, and see what they had available.

First guy at Repco wants to know what the particular car is, then can't find one in his computer. Apparently Repco don't carry the stock power steering cooler for an M35...

Then I tell him to stop looking for that particular one, and just a generic one, he passes me onto a second guy, who first thinks I'm asking for a power steering 'core', and then tells me he works on race cars and no cars come out standard with factory power steering coolers. Then when I correct him, he starts back peddling.

After treating me like an idiot, then tells me he can get PWR, and quotes me an outrageous price on it.

And these people wonder why we shop online/overseas...

What did they want to hit you for a PWR cooler? Even the repco "V8" auto trans cooler kit is only $110 and it uses a PWR core.

Everyone who works at Repco reckons they work on race cars; especially when they can't find parts for your car.

Ebay is your friend for a little cooler; trust me...

So how small can we go to do the job? I'd reckon it doesn't need to be half as big as the trans cooler to be OK, considering we don't have one at all.

Then i started wondering if a larger one (trans cooler size or even bigger) mounted out of the front airflow (a bit tight for space there) would radiate enough heat to be effective?

I'm not sure if things are different in Vic (well, we know they are in many respects, lol) but if I drove into my driveway & the police were more than 30sec behind, I'd already be in my garage with the auto door on the way down.

The only way he would be checking out my car is if he turned up later with a warrant ! Not sure about the law here if it was parked outside in my driveway tho.

they arent allowed on your property for any reason, unless you have performed a criminal act and they are arresting you. im sure there are other reasons too.

AFAIK you cant be breathalised on your own property too

[dasic1]

I find that very unlikely

You can be breath tested on you property. You can even be tested upto 2 hours (pretty sure its 2) after a accident. So if your involved in a crash and go home and drink you could be in a bit of trouble

I'm running an Falcon EF transcooler for my power steering with a thermostat....will be fine.

So in Jethro's case.... driving past with low & too much tint... a criminal act?? I reckon he had a good case to tell them to get of his property.
