There was a sticker on eBay not a long ago which I can't no longer find of a sticker figher man walking his Godzilla with a rope around it's neck and the words "my family..." it rocks...hahaha

Yea it's a bit rude I would say, I have My tuner across the top of my rear window but I asked for it..

I was thing about getting "destroying V8's since 1989" in the lower left corner of my rear window just to stir some shit heh heh heh

I'm not big on decals at all, and my tuner has just jammed massive decals of his business on my GTR.

What's the general consensus about this?

Should I give him some advertising time or rip them up like a fat chicks phone number?

... You can't be serious.

I'm generally happy to offer "advertising space" to clubs like SAU (as above) because it enhances the enthusiast community and can even help build friendships when you come across someone else you otherwise didn't know was a member.

I'll allow stickers from tuners etc if they've offered me a discount or I'm particularly happy with their work. Other than that I can't stand them. There's a large chain of tyre stores (Tony's) in NZ that put a sticker on every car that comes through them but I pull them off straight away because I can't stand that I've had to haggle them down on price to start with rather than them just giving me their best price up front. Also, their wheel alignment skills at the local outlet suck balls.

But if you're after a maximum aggravation sticker, go with something like "IF ITS TO LOUD YOUR TO OLD", complete with spelling errors. Guaranteed to annoy 94% of people with an education.

I bought a car from a dealership years ago and as soon as the paperwork was done I walked out to the car and peeled off the decal on the rear window advertising his yard. He looked like he'd just stepped in dog shoot but never said a word as i jumped in and drove away.

Stickers on cars are stupid. having said that, I once had one on my ceffy with those stick figure family members being hung and it said "F**k your family". And more mechanics seems to help themselved to advertising on people's cars. They did it to my on my 33 once although it wasnt a massiv sticker, just a little one.

    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
