Private health insurance ftw. $87 check up and clean cost me about $25 by the end.

Private health is great. had it for years.. but when you need shit done, its still f**kin pricey

i get free checkups/cleans. but everytime i go.. i need something else..

Mine are pretty good.... all original, no fillings, wisdoms out years ago.

I wish they were straighter though, I had braces as a teenager but didn't wear my retainer as much as I should and they moved :(

Used to go for 6 monthly check ups & cleaning religiously but got lazy and haven't been for ages. Should do that again. I only have Extras cover but got most of it back.

I think my parents spent like 10k on my teeth.

Had jaw expanded twice, braces, wisdoms out few fillings all white and a permanent wire on my bottom jaw but other than that I think they are pretty darn good.

I'm a bit anal when it comes to dental care. I could never go out with someone with yucky teeth.

Ummm..., how about that article on Today/Tonight Corinne, where they showed "Snapon Teeth"???

Pretty impressive! You'd never know if there were yucky teeth underneath until after the wedding day!!! :ph34r:

it's basically like a wearing a cap/hat while you are sweating alot..

bacteria grows

and turns acidic causing problems over time

and during the 12 hours whatever you eat and drink increases the acidity around the snap on and gives more food for the bacteria> eventually leading to more problems

as u said it... more perio problems and caries

if you were to CLEAN after everything you eat and drink? may work but "may" is not good enough haha

I get a government fund every 2 years worth around 5k. Covers all except cosmetic ie. bleaching

Protect your gums as poor gums leads to bad infections, gingervitus and then leads to your teeth decaying; ultimately periodontal disease.

I've got side impact wisdoms that will eventually need to come out... 4 figures to get it done fml!

i had the same shit... cost me 2.5k. had all 4 wisdom teeth out at once. my face swelled up like a bitch. couldnt eat nothing but yoghurt.

i had braces on as a kid and then the wisdom teeth decided to come up on the piss and push my bottom front teeth into eachother so got them out real quick. still have a wire in the bottom behind my front teeth to keep them from moving tho.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
