So, I got the bad news today that my ViPec needs to be sent to WA to be repaired and could take 4 plus weeks.

This puts me in a sticky situation as I need a car for work

Until..... I hit a goddam Kangaroo.

Oh the humanity.. Beep Beep Booooop.

Is the shitta still drivable or was it a big roo?

Damn man, thats some bad luck!! Guess you can only be glad it was the shitter and not the line..

Got a new key deliivered, my old one is quite worn so I had a cheapy cut first, it's REALLY tight to turn! is this normal?

at first I didn't think it was going to work, but noticed a little movement so used more force. do I need to get it trimmed down a bit further? do the lock barrels need fixing?

It was just a glancing blow.. Bit of a ding, the bumper dislodged which I screwed back into place, bit of trim gone and the headlight hanging out which I got back into place. Very lucky.

Yeah not suprised your Jelly of the Barina :woot:

Try wd40 on the key.

Graphite powder is also good for new keys and locks.

wd40 made no difference. is it likely the powder will be much better?

today, the key won't work at all in the boot (just like the 'spare' key i got with the car. But i presume its meant for valet. though the valet key has different valley size)

Light sanding as suggested to take burs off then Graphite powder on key and Ignition barrel.

some things shouldn't be WD40'd. (locks is one of them)

In other news replaced steering wheel in the GTR this morn with a newie :rolleyes:

old one is in top cond but was tempted to onsell to a mate. (and had the other sitting on the shelf taking space)

Sometimes money trumps having spares.

I hit a small one on the GDE one morning, cracked the bumper, proke a headlight mount tab, and a couple small dents. I stitched the bumper back together with cable ties.....PERFECT.

Also, you can't even begin to imagine how jealous I am...

on topic and maybe of of interest - a full new set of R32 GTR locks including ignition barrel is $240

thinking I may buy a complete new set and get the NIsmo key cut to suit Sin.

Cant see myself selling the car or the key so seems logical they should be "locked" together :P

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
