Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has had a leaking problem on the attachments for car? mine has had this problem since i got it but as i park underground and it only seems to happen when its parked in a big down pour it hasn't been an issue but i wouldn't mind fixing it anyways.. Any suggestions?

Yes.

Suggestion would be to silicone the hell out of it or remove them and bog up the holes (what I will be doing).

This only is an issue on non-Northshore Prestige cars due to lazy workmanship when installing the roof anchor points.

Why not use the other points on the floor?

Thanks mate, i was wondering if they were something added here during compliance. And i know the guys who complied mine were super dodgy. So many things i know they are meant to do that they didnt. Guess this weekend will include this job now.

Still trying to get a reasonable price on the replacement panels so if you are removing them I will let you know what I come up with (my Nissan dealership couldn't believe the price their system came up with :()

I removed the brackets and used silicone to seal the holes, no leaks now.

Definitely dodgy compliance, and even worse, you pay them to rape your car in the name of safety. lol.

I'll pulled mine out, sent em back to Canberra anonymously telling them to stick it up their cake hole. I then cleaned up the holes, rust proofed them, siliconed and replaced the plastic trim. First mod I did on my previous Axis and this one.

Yes because you'll be using them now Cam... :yes:

The ones in the floor are cargo restraints, not the child tether/latch ones.. Please, please, please do not use them... If you are in an accident, the legal ramifications are not worth thinking about... Same issue as using an isofix or EU approved child seat in AUS.. Please just don't do it... It's like the ADR's BS regulations to protect "Australian Interests"

However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and potentially the EU regs will be allowed from 2014.

I loved the ISOFIX mounts. Had it in my Mazda 3 and worked much better then the stone age ADR approved anchor point/belt combo...

Protecting local interest sounds about right.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!
