RACV classic car insurance rejected me because I've had 3 speeding fines in the last 2 years. thats cool, theyre insurance is shit anyway.

Insurance equivalent of calling a girl a slut because she wouldn't put out for you

Insurance equivalent of calling a girl a broad minded person because she wouldn't put out for you

if she was from any other Aus state sure, but in Vic where the girls crack the shits for under 5km/h is a bit harsh.

Simon became a sparky since he has the unearthed one.

Indeed... I now have 6 of these, since I made the ebay seller send me another to replace a "broken" one... then I refused to pay return postage, so got to keep it (works fine)

When I was under the car the other night doing suspension work, had one of these sitting down on the floor shining up under the car... as they put out no heat its got all the brightness of a 500W halogen, but none of the "I'm going to set things on fire if you don't keep at eye on me" annoyance. No dicking around with little LED torches or light bars either.

So going to keep 2 of them portable (will just wire up an extension lead onto them) and mount the other 4 around the walls.

They're a bargain at about $25 ea... but yeah, they aren't particularly safe straight out of the factory :| And being 240V they may not be suitable for your needs if you want one to be used away from a power source (or powered by the car itself)

yeah thats the deal breaker for me. portable so i can use it at work plus in tight spots.

those magnetic LED torch/bar things are super handy for cars, kinda like: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/72-LED-Powered-Mechanics-Magnetic-Hanging-Trouble-Work-Light-Bar-Lamp-Useful-/231295295853?pt=AU_Sport_Camping_Hiking_Lamps_Torches&hash=item35da46216d

Leroy, you'd want a rechargeable one though. That linked one uses AA batteries.

you're right. the one i have is 12v rechargable battery. comes with powerpoint and car charger, cost me $48 or something.

Hmm... do I stay with 3rd party or go comprehensive with JustRipsoffs?

Honestly it depends how hard you drive it...

If you're doing twisty cruises and hills runs... Full Comp right away...

If you're driving it twice a week to go to your mums place for tea, I'd stay on 3rd party fire THEFT until you can afford it.

Also, if you've got the money sitting in your account, you just don't Want to spend it... then go Full Comp.

bought nissan key thinking it was a gtst key, not a gtst key.

Oh Noes, Moh got Moh'd...

Googling for Skyline GTST Blank Key doesn't actually come up with any images of the key that I've got with mine Black plastic with an S imprinted in it.

Mine:

Mohsen's new one:

Does my one have a separate part number, Mike?

Theres about 10 different Nissan keys available for all the skylines, they're mostly under $5 each. I've always planned on ordering one if each to find out which is which and which may be nla but never have LOL

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
