Bling

Yeah was a bit of crap, however, I didn't bring anything home that didn't have rust on it. Excluding hot chips / donuts. I prefer if there is a bit of rubbish there though as you can always find something useful in amongst it See the tarp covered in probably 3m2 of tools for $1 each? Bargains galore! Found it a good mix of people selling items at bargain prices, fair prices, and more than new prices..... wtf

Today / Tomorrow, incase anyone didn't know / forgot. Heaps of the usual stuff there, including oodles of motorbikes / parts

As far as dodgy solutions go, I'd certainly say bog will be safer than grinding!! Still in date is it? I got a cylinder off Galpro Stylex (i'm guessing that's who you mean?) Was like $330 delivered to chch from aucks. Mind you that was CO2 so I guess argon may cost more for the cylinder/ dunno. Legit is also another good option which is less hassle.

haha fuck they masnt have liked you How much did you pay? Was for work and no complaints from the customer, so would trade again. Don't recall exact pricing.

Something like 40 for first can and 25 after that. Been a while though.

Pretty sure they have to disengage like they do normally, so a switch wouldn't work. If in doubt, read the VIRM on www.nzta.govt.nz. Also take onboard what 4AG_Addict, fix it properly and you'll not regret it.

Going by the photos although that 'arm' might be damaged, pretty sure its only to limit the door from opening too far. Compare hinges / area they bolt to, to the other side and go from there. Just taking a guess, photos don't show hinges. So that's where i'd start. I don't recall if the hinges are the same left to right or not. If they are, swap the passenger side hinges over and see if that fixes it. If it does... then you know what to replace.

Shit they laid the marketing on thick on that amp!

Narva light bulb models: eg http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/h4 All the same watts I think, just better light from same power. Other pages have the specs of the bulbs.

Sugar / sand mixed into the fuel/oil of the other cars and you'll have a good chance No.1 for me would be stickiest tyres up front on the lightest wheels possible. Then just launch like fuck off the line and hope you get one run before you break something

Just got a couple of sets of Narva +100s, beat the pants of what I previously had in there.

I'd get about that mileage with the stock 2.4L petrol motor in a loaded up hiace, so that can't be too bad.

These guys took mine: http://www.metalcorp.co.nz/welcome.html they are local to me, so not sure if that made a difference. Next one i'm going to chop up and take on a trailer so I get some $$.

I know bugger all about nissans, but pretty sure turb = 5 stud, na = 4 stud

Didn't see this thread right at the top? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1167

You could flick bubblegoose a PM, he seems on to it with painting.

1) tank size is only one part of the equation, how much air the compressor can deliver to the gun is what matters. Just my2c, but find someone local willing to do a cashie. Nothing against DIY, but if you have to ask those questions then it might be a stretch to pull off a good job.

That it does, might need to sack the front out to match the rear though Richie

No one has probably done it as it's not worth the time and effort. By the time you mess around (ignoring any pitfalls of just welding in patches, and grinding it all back flush and trying to get a nice finish) you probably could have spent that time earning some $$ and got some steels widened properly. Might be worth the effort to you though, so go nuts. If you care about the legals might want to look into that first as I doubt it would be legal.

Let me know if you do head out to race, I will come and watch / check out your sweet ride!

As mentioned above, the only ones complaining will be the tryhards with their 'fast' cars still parked up in the car park. All about having fun. I got grief about my times back in the day, but only from one guy that was too much of a pussy to actually race me..... he would have had his arse handed to him and my car is slow too

Did you look into the rules? I'm just going by the rules you have to follow to get a WOF. Not sure what else you can go by really..... the internet is NOT a reliable source though. Only mentioned it as the post further up almost implies cut springs are sweet as even without a cert, which is not the case. Last thing we need is people giving out incorrect information IMO. Have a read: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/virm- ... g-v4a2.pdf Fliboy probably should too. Not sure cops / wof inspectors / insurance companies will accept "but someone on OS said it wasn't "illegal" to do it..." as a valid excuse. In any case, the fellas over at www.club-k.co.nz will know every known combination to lower your starlet if you have no luck here.

Do this before anything else. If it's reading more when its running than when it's not, eg 12 when not running but as you say 13 while running the alternator is doing something. If it drops to like 8/9V while cranking though, above mentioned applies.

Not illegal to cut springs no, but you do need a cert.

Hilux could be pretty brutal. What spring setup you running?
