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.

    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though 
    • HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
