its all sitting in the corner of my shed.

no lines cut, the whole thing, come and take it away if you want it.

only problem is if it dont fit then you have a big pile of sht in your shed to get rid of.

are ya feelin lucky?

Went for a nice drive out of town to test out the new radiator.

Success! Overheating issue solved ==)

Now just to find the rattle/knocking at 120kmph... :wacko:

Private Roads... Gotta love 'em!!! :ninja:

So what Radiator did you end up getting? What coolant you using? Did the fan shroud fit? Thermo sensor? Still using the Clutch Fan?

Check for Stray current that may cause your radiator to eat itself in less than a month? So many questions... :laugh:

I got a 42mm chinese ebay one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190700402072?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

fit straight in perfect. stock fan, shroud and sensor no problems. didn't check for current (forgot)

Using Tectaloy 50/50 premix with glycol (or whatever it is. i'm tired and cant be bothered to think, lol)

Gave the pod filter a good clean. DAMN that thing was filthy!!!! and made a new bracket. to hold it in place nicely..

Now just waiting for boost gauge to start next step =)

I think the only issue that would arise would be capturing other people's info like car, rego. Privacy Act is a touch and go thing in AUS. Hence why when cops pull you over with recording devices they say that they are recording you as a pre warning.

Are they allowed for insurance reasons, if given the police officer in question asks about it? Not real sure how to avoid other people's privacy but given it's a public place, recording and taking photos is allowed generally.

Record everything and let the courts worry about it

This.

Also yeah Jeremy I'd think being in public, you're right that there's very little 'privacy' against photos etc...

A myth/rumour I'd like to know the truth behind though, is the one I always hear about it being illegal to record conversations with police officers (sound or video) when you're pulled over for example - even if you advise them you're recording. Anyone know the go with this?

From my understanding and not sure against Feds but, you have to advise whether or not you are recording video/sound (or not). The police officer will then request for you to either turn it off (Which you have to) or he will acknowldge and proceed with defecting you :P

Anyone have any cop m8's? My m8 has a cop friend. Might get him to ask him. Also, becareful, you can be arrested for not having more then $5 on you at all times (True law - but not policed :P) Infact, a guy in Melbourne got recently questioned for not having any money on him - mind you he lost his wallet.

Funny laws.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
