I have another 33 clutch to do tomorrow, an auto in a camry and a timing belt on an astra but I reckon I could squeeze in another one if you like.

Plus I'll be out too if you're out. I can't get a helmet from anywhere. My mate is not contactable so I was hoping that maybe I could borrow yours.

Anyone else willing to lend a helmet?

You're welcome to mine... and you've seen how boofy my head is too :P

Only problem is that you'll have to pick it up from Toowong, as I'm working late tonight and I have the car so Karen can't drop it out :ermm: If that's OK and/or you can't get hold of another one, you're welcome to use mine.

lights in the dashboard area (speedo, rpm, etc) aren't working.

looks as though i wont be going until these are fixed.

All dash lights are out? From memory they're on the same fuse as your taillights, check that, it might be a nice easy fix :P

you dont need dash lights to race at willowbank.

check your fuses and your dimmer, occasionally those things die simply cause compliance mobs use cheap shit.

though if your driving a fair way you may want to follow someone back into town, just in case there are any friendly constabulary patroling.(and most of the time there is at the very least a speed camera just past the Flinders View/Ripley overpass)

Nobody wants to loose double demerits.(or was that just for easter period?)

Timeslips 4 of my best but only 1 is OK really.

Practice OH practice.

Took my car to tuner yesterday and it was running sweet, so its all down to technique now.

By the way Hardcore have changed management now, Pete still has the dyno but it's a seperate business now and is going by the name of

"protorque" performance tuning, I recommend him highly,

some of the old staff are still there but all the salesmen are new and have no record of any previous work, so if you have any of those type of quetions talk to Pete and he may be able to help.0438876649

Nice work terry. I was almost certain I was going to pass you on the line lol. I was going about 30k's faster by that point. Bit disappointed in my result but I'm talking with my turbo supplier and hopefully I can have the smaller A/R housing donated in the name of research....rofl. Should shave a second and a half off my time.

    • TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.
    • Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.
    • Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).
    • Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.
    • Liking the new charger, battery all good (I think).   Also like how you can put it in power supply mode too. Will troubleshoot with that sometime soon.
