About 10 or so years ago I joined a bike forum. I'll say the whole site is a nightmare to navigate and I rarely post there because it is so difficult to find any sub forums or even post a thread in the correct forum. JC is nothing like that, it is a dream and so easy to find threads and post...

I've been using the Nulon 10w 40 fast flowing for a while now. It's really good oil and it was a really good price. On special I could pay $7.50 a litre or less. I just looked and no one has it anymore. Looking for a cost effective alternative that is a good as the Nulon gear. Penrite is great...

Picked this up tonight after work. 2000, 955 Sprint. Have been on a short ride and compared to my RD400 this thing is a completely different animal. The RD is a bike that weighs 120kg with a full tank. The RD has tight steering and feels good. This new bike is a heap wider and a lot heavier and...

I signed up years ago but I am a Non-Insider, which gives me no rewards whatsoever. I have tried becoming an insider to no avail. I can not figure out how to become one? If I even can?

Anyone know how long before I can blow the 2k top coat over my 2k primer? Using Valspar 2k primer. I can't find the one I have on the net so it may be obsolete. I've always left if for weeks in the past as I took my time painting last time and did it over a few weeks.

Would it be possible to have a detailing section? There seems to be a lot to waxing and detailing. It would be good to have some knowledgeable members share what they know.

Seems like I forever need to adjust my handbrake. Is this normal. I adjust the shoes and they don't adjust up much, meaning I also need to do the cables regularly. Only did it a couple of months ago and now I need to do it again.

Placed a deposit on this today. Just the tent, not the trailer. We've decided that we are over tent camping and want something that can withstand rain and wind, so decided to do a $500 redraw and and start working on something, which will make life a lot easier. Meet the OZ Trail 8. Pick it...

Starter won't crank over. RAA seems to think it's the Starter motor. This is the first time this has happened. Is this normal on an L98? Stuck in SA. I'm on the ferry in a week so need it fixed. No idea of anywhere who will fit me in.

Anyone had experience with NEP gaskets? I've never heard of them.

Anyone know if there is a way garage can keep full memory for HAVAC and radio and facia kit for a period of say 30hrs? Had a new battery fitted today and he plugged a module into the code reader port, but I still came out with loss of steering wheel controls, a reverse camera view that stayed...

Can anyone with an Omega please measure the thickness of their rear sway bar? I've been told they run a thicker one than an SS ute does, but I'd like to confirm, before I try to find one.

Getting to the stage where I will need a battery, anyone know where the cheapest place to buy a Delco battery is? Holden no longer supply them for VE ute's and have said I need to go to R & J Batteries but they want $280 last time I enquired and have likely gone up since. I can get the best...

Found out tonight that 98 fuel is not the same fuel as 91 with an additive. I was talking to the tanker driver tonight and he said 98 is the most pure petrol Ampol sell to the public. I tried to find the thread where there was mention that 98 just gets an additive dumped in when the tanks are...

Anyone got one of these? I see SCA have them for $289. I've wanted one for a while but have been putting it off as a non-necessity. I could see it getting some use. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/bissell-bissell-spot-clean-turbo-auto-mate-carpet-and-upholstery-cleaner/609901.html

Forum seems slow last few days. People away?

Trying to figure out why I have a shimmy in my steering wheel at about 104kmph. It's not a vibration it's like a slap from side to side. Quite minor but might be a problem when I am around 160-170kph or faster. I'd like it fixed before I find out. All new arms, struts, sway bar bushes. I have...

Anyone know how to replace the firewall insulator? I had a look but it looks as if it might be engine out? Only other way I can see is if the wiper plenum comes off, whether that would be enough to fit it? And how do you get to the clips? Is this a massive job?

Anyone tell me if I work from the top or underneath if I want to change my balancer and seal? My manual says to raise it on stands but as far as I can tell that is just to remove the trans cooler lines, which I don't have.

https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=13535685&cc=1441142&pt=7532&jsn=865&jsn=865 Trying to confirm this is the rear lower arm bush that goes at the knuckle to hold the lower arm that also holds the strut in place, anyone know?

Are these really needed or not? I have one that is flopping around at the top and must be broken. As it is they have been cut down by about half their original length.

Is there any way of lowering the spare without the winder tool or angle grinder?

A mate tried getting me a new rear cable but they are spot welded to the fuel tank strap. Anyone know if this is a necessity? I don't really want to drop the tank so it can be welded on again, just to replace a handbrake cable.

Anyone know if I can use normal roof and gutter silicone on my cat flange gaskets, or will I need automotive sealant?

Picked this up this eve. Swiftcraft with 60hp. Needs a little tidying up. The photos online made it look perfect but it's not quite to my standard, but $200 and it will be.

Anyone know of any good sites that talk about boats, or is there anyone on here that knows about fibreglass boats and doing repairs at home?

Anyone know what the two locating washers on the rear suspension arms are called. One of mine is missing the other is squashed. They affect the rear camber so really need to be fitted. I just can't find them online likely because I don't know the proper name. If anyone has a part number that...

Wondering what I need if I want to have a go at the strip? So far I have done the trunnion upgrade, I have a Kaaz 3.9 diff built and will be replacing the rear coupling. Is there anything else I need to do? I don't want to blow my engine or 6060. I have a HD clutch already. I know I won't be...

Anyone know much about the new Nulon Apex? Is it any better than their regular full syn 10/40? I see SCA have both on sale for about $42 for 6L. I will grab one next week but wasn't sure if the new oil was anything special over their other full syn?

Anyone used Dex III as an engine flush? I have used the proper gear plenty of times. I have about a litre of Dex III, I have no use for and am wondering about using it instead of buying a bottle of flush for my next oil change.

So I have this occasional swishing noise from the steering now and then. It sounds like a bush rubbing but it also sounds like fluid swishing. Anyone had this issue?
