Yeah it's weird, permanently sticky like chewy. No wonder it dropped with a bit of heat.

Just lucky I wasn't parked on the gravel or a harder surface. (or Driving)

Might have to do both mirrors as the passenger side has always had a little bit of white goo exposed too.

Is it true that at Compliance the mirrors get changed from concave to flat glass?

Dodgy Compliance Glue!

Wankers.

looks like the stuff used inside the doors for the clear plastic dust covers

that stuff is always gooey.

Personally I'd use a good Wurth double sided tape (auto)

oem replacement glass uses double sided tape

Its horrible!

Like real soft wet chewing gum. :yucky:

Find some guys cladding an office building and get some of that tape, holy sht its good.

Bunnings have a Sikaflex assembly adhesive, black, nasty and messy, real good at sticking. Flexible, so it wont crack.

Problem is its expensive and once opened it goes off over a few weeks, no matter how well you seal it.

I have a now solid tube of it in the shed. :rolleyes: Original battery tray, i glued with that, needed a prybar to get it off.

was working on a mates S14 which has been off road for more then 2 years due to defect.

nothing wrong just wide body kit and way to low so getting it ready for inspection but the coilovers are jammed.

Does anyone has a s14 coilovers or Stock absorbers to get rego passed or he can buy it

Anfanee drove like a granny all the way. I had planned to stay behind Anthony but couldn't. My nanna drives faster ... (RIP nanna)

In fact no-one topped 120kmph on the way there, 98% round the 110kmph mark.

da big police presence on the way out of ACT stuck in my mind and I didn't hit over 120 there and back.

(I lie - only once did I go over that and got covered in fuel by the EVO :P )

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
