will get me out of trouble, where the f**k sells these things???

i have stuff at work but nothings really right.

will probably get away with air fittings if i use enough thread tape.

Dude don't be a tight ass as you will regret it, if it comes loose or fails you can not only kill the engine but dump oil all over your rear tyres and put it into a wall.... Sorry for the lecture, but do it right man :yes:

Matt, just read your comment on the jb clutch.

Haven't driven with my yet, but engaging/disengaging = worlds of difference. Just more feel to it already with the modified spring.

I haven't driven it properly, just cruised around the streets to bed the suspension in ready for the alignment tomorrow... Cars running like shit :/

Clutch is amazing, flutter is hektic uleh and gate is loud :D

its not a matter of being a tight ass, its that id be paying half of what i paid for everything for something worth 5 bucks. its a simple piece that should be common as. i think ill check out a few other places on wednesday as he only looked through like 10 boxes of stock :S

Ok so the sandwich plate goes between the filter and thread that the filter screws onto. There's a hole in the sandwich plate for the original thread to go through. The hole in the plate is also big enough for a round fitting to screw onto the old thread, that centers the plate and tightens it at the same time from the hex that is between the female and male threads.

The male thread is on the other side of the hex that sticks out of the sandwich plate for your filter to screw down to

As seen here. So f**kin easy yet no one has one :(

It's just a female to male extension of the same size and I bet my old workshop would have one :(

    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
