Guyz guyz plz...

STFU OR GTFO!!

lolz..

Kiss and make up...

I don't think the goal was for any of us (aside from me) to get pissed and then work on the car... My impression was for everyone (bar me, who is by this stage, pissed), to work on the car, and then BBQ and drinkies time afterwards, which consisted only of a couple of drinks (which for me, consists of a couple of dozen..).. Anyway, yeah...

So anyways, whats goin on with this service thang? Maybe you guys should post dates so we can organize something ya know?

if that's the garage in your house man you have one massive garage lol

i vote for the 7th or 14th of June (provided they are both Saturday's?)

if i can't make one then i can make the other

what does everyone else think?

lol, hell no, i wish i had a garage that big, i can barely fit the astra in mine haha

I vote 14th o June as ima need that time to get some cash up, as i quit my job today...

but yeah, should be good to go by then i reckon, anyone got a place we can use, or am i still going to have to try and get a workshop?

who has no/lenient parents...

who has a BBQ

who has an esky

who can fit at least 10 cars from within their private property space

and who is patient...?

answer = party and service at their house...

food and beverages provided by those getting their car serviced = win win for everyone

okay, i need to replace my fan belt too... where do we get all this sh*t from?

i may... thats MAY be able to get all the 100k service parts from a friend at toyota... she can get them from nissan for $360... dont quote me on that though, ill let you know tomorrow if its true... someone has to have a big enough driveway or garage to do it in?

Didnt someone offer a garage in that thread you had about ya yellow Andrew??

I have a 2 car garage, plus room for another 2 cars on a VERY steep driveway, as well as room for 1 car on the lawn, plus about 4-5 on the verge. Its very spread out, but it can work. Oh yeh, and one down the back of the garage. You can access the bonnet if you reverse it in, but hard to get in or out unless you park it right to 1 side. We have a BBQ, few eskies, and my parents wont mind you guys coming over. Altho, if your car is lowered or has a kit, dont bother getting into the garage! Stay on the street.

But yeah, if that'll do, then your welcome to use mine

LOL 10 cars!!!

I dont think anyone got a big enough place for 10 cars... besdies im pretty sure theres no way u will get 10 cars done in a day....

Things will always go wrong when you working on cars, and take more time to fix...

Then plus the beer and food ..... Maybe 2 or 3 cars will get the full 100k service in a day... Theres a bit more too it then just changing timing belt... eg water pumps, all fluids as starters...

i personally got my timing belt done proffesionally by xspeed... Its not exactly something you want to stuff up on.

Although the rest i did my self.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
