Seriously, some of my best work. Farkin classic night.

Lol, if you had any idea what happened on FB a couple of weeks ago...

Not so much a Stagea spotted, more an owner spot, I think I spotted Fatz at the Lappo; held the door for you, bub, & your missus as you were leaving. Merry Christmas mate!

Saw a Silver AXIS driving up Lapstone hill this arvo, flashed, but no response.

Merry Christmas guys, great meeting more and more of you; a great community to be part of. Stay safe.

Bearing can be purchased for just over $100 on eBay from the US. I read the post as the LABOUR component of the task was $90 p/h, no mention of bearing in the price. Change the other one. You may have misdiagnosed. They've both done the same number of kays, if one is stuffed, the other on the way.

Well done mate, must put a smile on your face when you step on it out of those corners.

Getting a proper shift on there Scotty! Sounds great, lol @ beep of Informeter too. Top speed?

That's a nice R33 in the background.

With all the talk of sludge; I'd be trying a couple of very short change intervals in the next week or so, say 3-400km, with some basic 10/40w oil, then whip off a rocker cover to see just how bad it is. If the heads are heavily varnished or sludgey; they are the barometer for the rest of the engine. They cop all of the heat cycling, so if they are bad; you know what the rest looks like. Ideally there should be a light brown coating on the alloy of the head casting, but when you wipe it; it should clean down to the alloy. if it is gummy or black with gooey residue or even flakey bits; I wouldn't NOT use an oil system flush straight up. I would be really hesitant about using a flush on a heavily contaminated engine; you run the risk of dislodging large deposits, and potentially blocking a piston cooling jet or even the turbo feed. I think engine sludge is a bit like cholesterol, take your time to gradually break it down with very short change intervals, then start using very good quality oil, and obviously ensure that what you are buying is actually going in YOUR engine. It's pretty morally destitute of your mechanic to pinch your oil for his own use; and frankly, I'd be going elsewhere.

Rear mounted radiator? Glad you had no failures; you could always drive slower...

Spotted Brian (180fan) cruising down GWH again today; flashed, got a wave. Merry Christmas mate.

I don't know what you're talking about...

LOL, very good night indeed. And back on topic, that cruise was pretty much the final hurrah for my OEM turbo...

FYP.

Check boot for backpacker. Re-tie mouth gag. Dispose of body. No more squeak. You're welcome.

The good news is; you can put all of those problems behind you now, and pick up some more performance too.

Definitely turbo. I also had the tapping, sounded for all the world like a stuffed lifter. I shit myself when it started clattering as well as the turbo failure. New turbo time opens up a mound of options for you. Only use someone who has experience with THIS turbo. Edit; If you're in Chatswood contact Jetwreck. He'll sort you.

Spotted a PNM35 AXIS on my way home from work today. Hot rims, nice ride height. Looking good!

You sir; are an ideas man.

Port BOV into cabin. Done.

I reckon Pettett would make a special trip to NSW to sort you out.

I has found you a car. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/415588-fs-winfield-g-t-r/ I can has a drive?

Gotta clear it with my work roster, but it looks good. Would be cool to add another track to the list.

If you guys are going; I might have to make the pilgrimage on the bike. Carry some gear down for a bloke?
