g'day guys

as a continuance of my 07's ny resolution, i am trying to nail some savings this year

as much as i have a full time job i'm keen to put away even more

before i go looking for a shitty casual job, i thought i'd ask if anyone here needs a hand

as of a fortnight's time, i'm available evenings or anytime on the weekend

i don't have rsa or rcg, so definitely no bar jobs :mellow:

nighttimes or weekends either is good

be it labour, folding boxes, well, anything i guess

pm me if interested

cheers, mark

don't bother pete. i don't think mark even has the common decency to give a man a reach around.

I can attest that mark is a hard working man. so be it packing fudge, or lifting shirts he's your man.

on a serious note, someone give mark a job. it keeps him off the streets and stops him pulling B+Es and bag snatches for a while.

mark, are you back in the city yet?

hehe for f**ks sake, anyone who might have been serious will be not be after reading the contents of this thread

anyway, back in the city on feb 26th after doing 11 months in a fish and chip shop

10am-930pm tuesday-saturday for 11 mths. f**k that, never again. serving absolute arseholes. my stint in the shop has taught me that consumers in this day and age are unbelievably demanding, and rude as all f*&k! and secondly that there is not much money in takeaway. i take my hat off to the greeks!

anyway, back to my comfy public service role feb 26th. bring on the rissole.

oh, and back on topic, available any evbenings and weekends for shitty labour :)

cheers, mark

mark, were you running the fish and chip shop? or were you working there?

Damn it, I thoguht you were volunteering to help me wiht my turbo install on the weekend :D

just working there mate

the owner is a mate of mine who i used to work with in my cushy p.s. job

he left the p.s. to buy the business.

i tell you it's an experience to work in a tiny business

absolutely no room for stuffing your boss around, and no flexibility when it comes to leave etc

and the hours

f**ked

absolutely f**ked

mate lemme tell you i'd be no help with your turbo install, those who know my mechanical prowess can attest to that! but i'm willing to hold your beer for you!

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
