just take spe spark plugs out and crank it for a minute or 2 in a couple of intervals, then their is no compression on the bearings. put them back in and fire it up

sounds like abit of a headach just to go for a drive but oh so worth it..

i guess i'll just have to leave the coil pack cover off to access the spark plugs.

I was a bit more padantic with my old RB20. it had only been sitting for 7 months but I still to the rocker cover off and added a lil oil to each cylinder before starting it. Then I changed the oil..

me and a couple of my mates had a old gz10 soarer that hadnt been driven in like 9 yrs...it took us ages to get it going, the fuel pump ended up being stuffed, but we replaced alot of stuff ,event ot the extent of pulling the fuel tank out and cleaning it out, when we went to drive it and as the clutch was let out it disintegrated ......on pulling the gearbox out we found a steel case twin turbo supra box, worth alot more than the car was acually purchased for :down:

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
