What's the difference? :nyaanyaa:

I dunno, I just like taking photo's of gravel...:whistling:

also needs more low :P

lol nah kidding, looks good mate! im guessing with those wheels you CAN get big brakes under them?

You can fit Brembos; but I'm going a different way, if things play out right. We'll see.:ph34r:

way to reflective imo....what have you changed! :P

Looks unreal!!....not awesome though as it has no stripes or Nismo!thumbsup.gif

Thanks for the kind words; I'm not putting pink stripes on my awesome paint...:yucky:

The reflectiveness of your paintwork makes the rest of us look bad Dale. Can't you just let it get dirty!

Looks good with the aero bar, will look heaps better with foggies/spotties though :thumbsup:

It gets drity in about 5 minutes!:rant: But it's worth washing to see the end result. Black is hard work...

I should have a pair of blanking plates by next week; and some Spotties down the track, when Ironpaw is ready.:thumbsup:

I'm considering slotting the ridge on the blanking plate to fit DRL's; too ricey? I'm not sure...

i know what you mean with black, i almost dont want to drive it after washing it.

I wouldnt do DRL's, i tried with the LED strips under the lights. looked ok, until i started seeing them on commodores etc. took em straight off

Yep; my thoughts too. If they're not factory , it's just going to look like a 17yr old attacked it with a Supercheap catalogue.:sick:

Decision made.

which is why i took em off. lol

Dale, should've just had the grey parts on the original body work painted to match.

Would have looked better than the Aero kit

:P

And more cheaperer!pinch.gif

that unpossible!!

I would've had to punch it in it's smiley mouth. Man, I hated the stock front end.:down:

There were some C34s at the last SA Stag Cruise that I thought pulled off the DRL look quite well, but I can't work out where we could mount them on M35s without looking crap.

Hmmm I was gonna buy a set of R35 Brembos but the seller wouldn't ship overseas,....dammit!

Proxy shipping companies ! Adds a bit onto the price, extra shipping and handeling, but if theres a deal to be had - and you want the item.. get on it!

I think Jase & Rose have them on their C34, if memory serves. Looks good, but I think Im sufficiently riced out with my squid rings without going the DRL route. I havent the feintest idea where you could fit them on our cars either.

Was this in a car yard or were you just measuring some car on the sly? :ph34r:

Lol, spotted it parked in a street as I was driving. No one came over to ask what I was doing measuring stuff at the back, so all good.

Then thank you for almost getting arrested to help me Leon! :thumbsup:

Haha, where do you think I live? People round here don't care if someone is lurking suspiciously around the back of their car. If I was in Iraq it might be a different story. There was no almost getting arrested. LOL.

Way to ruin a good story :(

I have a better story... the two headrest monitors I ordered on eBay Sunday turned up today... FROM HONG KONG! :worship:

They look great, two 9" monitors with zip up covers to hide them from prying eyes. Can't wait till Brad and I get them installed Sunday.

Then all I need is the exhaust finished, and the Stag is ready for her big drive to Calder for Gymkhana! :thumbsup:

That is lightning fast shipping. I think they foresaw your imminent purchase & actually posted them last Monday, lol.

How many people are you taking with you?

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
