    Hoons Cars Will Be Destroyed And Footage Will Be Shown

    in New South Wales

    Posted

    LOLLL i live on morris iemma's street and i can tell you its fu*cking annoying.. all these ass holes trash it up and down our street because its a long wide residential road. haha sometimes its me.. but seriously.. ass holes do it in the AM hours of the morning

    i duno.. i think it'd be kinda cool to see wat certain mods do to the crashworthiness of a car given that it's not my car obviously.. though i bet you they'd twist it out of proportion once it hits the papers

    General Service Info

    Posted · Edited by chinkeboi

    Hi, just starting this thread to answer a few of my questions, will also serve as a good noob info thread as well. I know some of this info may be out there but it'd be easier for us noobs to consildate all these questions in one thread. Plus some of the questions may be a little to noobish to even be searchable lol. My car R32 GTS-T has reached 100k and I need some info:

    1. How often should spark plugs be replaced?

    2. How often should (manual) gear box oil be changed?

    3. How often should Diff oil be changed?

    4. How often should the radiator be flushed?

    5. How often should the fuel filter be changed?

    6. How often should the clutch/brake/power steering fluids be changed?

    7. How many litres does an R32 gtst take?

    8. How often should the water pump be replaced?

    Please only reply if you are absolutely certain on the answers. Also feel free to include additional i.e. oil/fluid types and general info. If there are other questions you want to be added to the first post of this thread please PM and I will add it.

    Cheers, Ben.

    P Plate Turbo Restrictions

    in New South Wales

    Posted

    am i reading wrong? you got your green P's after the restriction was put into place?

    That means that your not affected by the new rules?

    The rule applies to the people who FIRST get their license after the rule has been put in place.. with was like 2-3 years ago around june some time.

    You can tell if your on the restrictions on ur license.. it has a y or some letter on the front under the conditions and at the back it says the restriction. If it is the case that you are on the restriction list: as above. u don't just get a fine.. you loose ur license as well in 1 go

    Crunching First Gear

    Since when ????

    Not since 1970s. My family's 1968 Falcon had synchro on first.

    chinkeboi, why don't you keep an eye on the lights so you can be in first gear when they change?

    Lol.. thats not really the point man, however bliss ignorance is.. something is wrong with the car and i want to try and ATLEAST source the problem. as for me being alert at the lights thats no problems..

    I'm getting the gearbox oil changed next service and i'll let u know if that helps or not

    Crunching First Gear

    well yeah.. that kinda doesn't really solve my problem.

    My problem now is crunching when quickly gearing into first: at times for example when i'm at the lights and it suddenly goes green. If I gear in slowly i.e. clutch in all the way to the bottom (slowly) then engage first theres usually no problem.

    From what I feel, it feels as though when i quickly step on the clutch pedal, the actually mechanisms (after the clutch pedal) are laggy in engaging the clutch. like the clutch itself has a slower reaction time into actually engaging.. For example if you were to as quickly as possible step on the clutch pedal. I.e. STAMP on it and then chuck it into first gear it will definitely crunch. Which brings me to question whether or not there are bubbles in my clutch lines/reservoir.

    How can you check for bubbles? I've tried getting someone to pump the clutch while i open the lid of the reservoir and see if theres any bubbles or anything.. (no avail)

    Blah.. hard to explain i guess.. if i figure this out i'll post up a proper explanation/solution.

    I was thinking it was more to do with the clutch.. because when i clutch in first then engage the gear it feels like the clutch hasnt fully engaged yet.

    I've had previous problems with my clutch before. Last time the slave cylinder blew and when i got it replaced, the mechanic didnt bleed it in properly and it was slipping like hell.. he sorted that out.. but yeah..

    maybe bubbles in my clutch line?
