scandyflick Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 ok guys, i need a hand with this. as some of you know, ive got a coolant leak for somewhere around my turbo, which i noticed while backing out of my driveway about half an hour ago, is getting worse. so im pulling apart that side of my engine, but i still think im gonna need a hand with a few things, so anyone out north with some level of mechanical knowledge (*looks at dale*), if you reckon you could help me out, that would be beyond awesome. i wanna get this fixed before saturday or else ill have to sell my dyno spot, miss out on an awesome day out, and not go to the drifts, fail. so yeah, would be hugely appreciated, will pay with reach arounds or whatever tickles your fancy if you wish. you can find me on 0408961657 cheers.

scandyflick Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 think ive found the culprit. couldnt see shit from up top, so i used my uber dodgy jack and had a look underneath, found this f**ker; gonna pull it off and see whats what... bit late though, everywhere that sells rubber lines like that are closed... a hoise at my disposal would be freaking sweet right about now. Title should be "Scandy needs a Handy " fark man, i wouldnt say no to one of those eiter.

scandyflick Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 SHE LIVES!!! got home about an hour ago, to find that my dad had infact swapped the coolant feed line, topped up the cooling system, and refitted all the heatshields. so i refitted the inlet pipe, airbox, hot pipe (which i removed twice again because id forgotten something), refitted the little boost controller dohicky whatsit, macguyver'd a couple hous clamps, crossed my fingers, and started her up. no leaks, no strange noise (aside from the usual sr noises ), and yeah, beauty. so stoked. fairly sure im gonna be doing the dishes for the next month though, lol. its a bit ghetto at the moment, doesnt have the stone tray fitted, and the outlet snout on the turbo hasnt been torqued up, but shes running and not leaking. so im happy.
