Hey guys,

Gotta do a service on the s13 (hopefully on the weekend) but i don't have a jack or stands or ramps or anything....

Can someone lend me some? There'd be a 6 pack in it for you.

I'm located in Kellyville

Cheers

Nick

I would reccomend finding or buying some proper stands and jack. having seen the number of people who die from putting the car on bricks, or up on a ramp, or up a gutter etc it's not worth the risk.

from a report on jack related deaths.

"There were 27 incidents identified where a vehicle killed a person who was working under it. Of these 27 persons killed, 20 were carrying out home duties (car repairs) and seven were regarded as being at work."

yeh,i always remember to throw a spare wheel under the jacked up car.

and when on the lawn,place a thick piece of wood under the jack so it don't sink into the ground.

Had a neighbour crushed to death because of a sinking jack.

Hey mate..

What do you have to service you can slide under the car for the oil and dont need to jack her up. Just get a 8L oil drain and yours set. put down some cardboard tho.

Filter you can do ontop, all the rest of the fluids your fine minus transfluids.

If you jack up a car on grass your an absolute idiot. I did a whole exhaust on a stock jack and a set of 9.5 rims just think before you work. Dont let people be hanging around. saying this i advise car stands or at least ramps

what are you doing mate, just an oil change?

you'll never get a s13 up car ramps so you'll need jack and stands. don't worry about it not being level 99% of the oil ill make it out OK.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
