Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

What happened to the job at Indooroopilly? Thought you were meant to be working on the renovations there.

Also, if you end up working on road projects I'm going to hold you personally responsible for every pothole I hit from now until eternity :P

We still have the job at Indro but looks like I'll be changing jobs. Got a job offer that is pretty much twice what I'm on now 14/5 roster with 2 days for flying.

Find any TIs?

+1

f**kin unlikely you'll ever be driving on these roads anyway

Easy enough to blame you any way

sweet news on the job offer!

so is that 14 on, 1 fly, 5 off, 1 fly?

Yeah that's pretty much how it goes. Director wants to have a meeting on Monday to discuss it but I'm pretty set on leaving. Will be putting in my resignation on Monday and then probably be starting out there in the 22nd of May or something like that. Need to hang around to get completion stuff sorted on this project.

Mmmmmmm...

no parts to work on the leopard and too raining to work on the skyline

lazy sunday it is

I've got 2500 words to write and so far all I've done is watched Top Gear and Jimmy Carr...

After fitting the exhaust my coilpack misfire (or so i assume) seems worse. (although it only happened on track...not after i left lakeside)

there are plenty of threads on coilpacks etc on the forums, but i thought id come ask you guys personally. ive done the tape and silicone thing about 40k ago, and has lasted well since then. but now its time to replace. so my question is......(drum roll)

are yellow jackets, or the red coilpacks any good? or should i just go for the splitfires for a whole lot more folding cash? i wanna stay with standard location and fitment for the sake of keeping it neat underneath with minimal hassle (yeah i'm a bit slack at times)

I'm running yellow jackets, no complaints so far!

Straight fit and they are working like a charm.

Might be worth checking your voltage at the coil packs though, as my missing was caused by voltage drop in the wiring, fixed by a relay.

In other news, morning mangs, f*ck mondays. Did manage to get some work done on the leopard (re-fitted coil packs and replaced fuel lines), and the sun came out so I could at least swap the tyres back on the wedge.

Now definitely need leopard parts for more progress :(

cheers man, i heard you saying something like that the other day about the voltage drop. i can fix pretty much anything mechanical...but am entirely useless when it comes to electrics. So i really wouldnt know where to start. could prob find the right wires, but as for testing...thats where i get lost.

yellow jackets might be the go, my old coils have done 40k with the tape job done and that lasted a while (might even have another look)

    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
    • Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can. 
    • I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
