Well they do say the best gift to give is one you would like to receive yourself. :D

You will need the plumber buddy.^

It aint hard Shell - just take up to an hour to do the lot.

$20 bucks max if you DIY.

Richard, I never knew you cared. What does a plumber charge to change an Oh Ring? LOL

Shell, yep it's not difficult as long as you can turn off the water, have a good sized shifter and the correct washers but mixer taps can be tricky.

haha snap... yep the water is the issue. No mixer taps.

Yeah, apartments may not have an easily accessible water switcherofferer. Might be central not individual.

If you rent, I'd be at least be contacting the Landlord if in doubt.

Look for a small panel or door in one of the walls,

Its probly in the laundry, or hidden in a cupboard or wardrobe,

There will be a tap, you may have to look around with a torch inside the wall to find it.

Or if it has an underground carpark they may be on the ceiling down there.

I have most plumbing tools, includung the tap reseater you will want for this job.

Ps spend the extra 5c per washer and get the good ones

And...

Leave the taps open when you turn the water on to flush out the brass shavings,

closing the tap on shavings just puts a groove in the washer and they leak.

Hydroseal is a good lube for them, and you may need to seal the thread again with teflon tape or Lockseal.

Leaking spindles need replacing, they are cheap and its easier than refitting o-rings etc.

dads rule!

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
