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...

PWR was 'on sale' for ~$90. Funny thing was, he told me to go and look at the PWR web site, but the one he was talking to me about wasn't on there...

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?

Nismo PM35 cooler is only a couple of inches longer. I don't think it'll have to be too big. My biggest concern was issues from it being too big.

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

Nah, I'm more interested in getting something new. Probably this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130481576673?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

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.

Hmmm, bit late to do that!

Something tells me there's nothing much I can do...I mean, I couldn't park in my garage because another car in there...so the copper had a good walk around my car (parked on my property) and wrote up a defect notice...

Are you sure they cannot enter people's property at will? I understand they can't barge into a house, but front yard/driveway...

hmm interesting read: http://www.trafficlaw.com.au/your.rights.html

I think since I was driving on a "highway" and commited a crime with my "dangerously lowered and tinted car", the police have reasonably cause to enter my property to look at the car...well, I guess they could've just looked at it from the roadside...

So many lies in that ad it hurts me.

More over, isnt Dannys this one http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389382-had-an-accident-today-no-insurance/ ? The license plate starts with BE, it looks to have Brembo brakes and the exhaust has twin tips (Obviously different wheels). Id say its just a repeating ad they havent taken down.

[zei20l]

So, just bought the replacement for the stagea. Dont laugh!

Got it brand new, collect Friday.

147KW petrol with DSG. Mines a sedan, not a wagon shown in this pic. Same colour!

My girlfriends old man has the wagon, perhaps a slightly older model though (had it for over a year) - nice car though! Ridiculously economical to run too, I couldn't believe the mileage he gets on the thing

probably a dealer advertising cars they dont have so people will go there, when they ring they say 'ohh yeah it just sold'

A definite possibility.

He's never mentioned burning oil, it looks to be the same shape - wasnt sure exactly how new to the market it was when he got it The seats aren't anywhere near as comfy as the M35 ones imho though!

Bluefin re-tune

Work mate did this to his TDI golf, very easy to use- might be worth a look.

i have to admit the M35 seats are friggen comfy!! leather FTW

i couldnt stretch the budget to full leather, the standard leather/fabric trim is pretty nice.

Why the need to downgrade? Needs more killer wasps!

[zei20l]
