Was thinking last night with all the money we spend on our cars it would be really good if we could help each other out financially.

Now personally i'm a fully trade qualified boilermaker/Welder and could probably help some of you guys out with welding up smallish jobs (don't necessarily have to be to do with your car)

So if you work with computer gear and can get that cheap or maybe a tyre place cause we all need tyres, whatever you think you can possibly help someone else out with please post it in this thread and hopefully we can get this thread stickied if everyone thinks its a good idea!

EDITED BY CUBES:

This is an awesome idea.

Keep it on topic and no requests as requests are pointless. Simply state what you can do for others. :wave:

At the request of some forum members I have gone through this thread with the edit brush - trimming the chat and so forth. Please keep any questions/requests to PM

I'm a website developer + graphic designer, can do a good price on that sort of thing. :dry:

Also can provide almost any jaycar product very cheaply (and even cheaper for group buys).

Can't really help anyone out with my day job however I am also able to help out with specialist print jobs.

My printer allows me to print in the usual black, cyan, magenta and yellow. As well as silver and white and soon will buy some cartridges to allow me to print in Gold, and chrome colours.

So if you need anything printed (small quantities) I will do it for a couple of dollars (as the ink is expensive)

I am an assistant manager in a hardware store. Can also look after fellow skyliner's with maybe 10% discount on general hardeware. Also trade quantities of timber for pergola's or deck's etc. :thumbsup:

I’m a full time software engineer, so basically anything you want done to a PC I can do it...even turn it onto a beer fridge! Something like this: beer PC :P

I don’t know how much I can help out in general but I MIGHT be able to score cheap hosting, and of course anything to do with software you want done/fixed/made..., I’m your man.

Also good quality two way paging car alarm systems fully installed I can help you out, PM me!!

Johnn, are you any good with or know someone who is profficient in MS Access?

I have a little relational database thats got me stumped. I thought my skills were OK, but this one got a bit difficult.

PS I teach at the Womens and Childrens Hospital, and look after the network for the school. If anyone needs some IT advice I am happy to help where I can. I also have some wholesale access to parts and systems through Protech. (can save you a few dollars on an upgrade or system)

I'm an electronics technican myself too, but I also used to do work that specialised in EFI & Ignition systems for 2 years as well as other stuff. I tested & fixed literally hundreds of ignition systems & engine computers injectors etc.

I don't have all the equipment to do all the work myself & admittedly most of this work was done off of the car, but I do have a good handle on the spanner work, do all my own servicing & have fixed friends cars on several occasions. My car hasn't seen a service centre since I bought it a year & a half ago.

I can do a lot of diagnosis work which I could do at a fraction of the cost that an Auto Electrican would charge & can probably sorce some parts at a decent price too. Auto electricans & mechanics would come to us, buy something or get something fixed & put their cut on before selling it to the customer & half the time we figured out the problem for them over the phone!!!

Advice on here I'll do for zip provided it doesn't get too complex :laugh:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
