  1. Gidday guys i brought my datsun and the paint job was a heap of s%^#. Someone had got a brush and grey paint and just covered it in it. i am looking at prepping most it my self and then getting it done the factory blue u can see.

    I've never done this to a car before and need to know the do's and dont's about sanding and what equipment to use n how.

    heres a pic of what it looks like

  2. I would try pay it but they havn't given me any intstructions or what not to pay..its being dealt with lawyers gonna be tough as i am still at school.i believe they will wait for me to get a full-time income and sting me.. no1 to blame but myself though i sure have learnt my lesson :)

    reason it cost so much because it was attached to underground cables

  3. It was my first car that started the obsession with x7 toyotas. Me and my dad had been fixing her up for around 6months, had the beaut for 2-3weeks??

    i was only 15 at the time thought i was mad mike behind the steering wheel, went fora cruise then decided it would be wise to rip the handbrake at 60kms haha stupidest thing i think i've ever done. started to get sideways then panicked, lost control locked up the brakes and thought i was going into a ditch nek minnit a stupid power pole appears i smack into square on luckily for me i only had whiplash, not so lucky i snapped the power pole straight in half and i had insurance but they decided not to cover me cause i was being wreckless, Get a bill in the mail .... $16,950.00 i think i fainted. i am now 17 going on 18 and i still havn't paid a cent..yet ill be in trouble when i've gotta pay for it.

  5. Performance is normal if you stomp on it though?

    yeah sure is still responsive and thermo is working all sweet

    Don't know much / amything about these engines in particular. but bad fuel consuption can be caused from a burnt out O2 sensor & dirty airflow meter etc.

    Assuming this is EFI.

    i will check that out today thank u and yes it is efi
    What do you call bad fuel economy? What did it used to be?

    The obvious question has to be asked - its not because the cost of fuel has gone up?

    well i used to get around to work/school on about $30 a week. not travelling to much now its $40-50 the price hasn't gone up too much in this period

  6. 2.8l 5m-e cressidas arnt known to be good on fuel.. :? but lately its using so much more than it ever used to..

    we replaced the bearings about 2months ago after i heard a knock for about 3hrs or so

    the air con belt snapped after doing it up too tight same day.

    they are the only two conclusions i can come to as why it using so much more fuel.

    any advice or opinions would be much appreciated
