no, turbo will be from Hypergear (TR43 - G2 trim) thinking an intake manifold/fuel rail from CPC and ecu from nistune. Rest of the setup is what i got lying around, intercooler piping will need to be sent out and made. I'll make my exhaust myself

True. I might ebay spec mine if I get the urge later on.

What pisses me off is that Jessica Watson chick, why do I have to pay my good hard earned money for her welcoming party? Imagine how many police, security guards, portaloos, etc were hired for the event. I'm going to work out how much it personally will cost me and withhold it.

But right now I have Becks and the people at liquorland must have left it in the sun for too long, it tastes flat -_-

Everyone is getting upset over this Jessica Watson chick I don't get it? I think it's pretty awesome what she did props to her. I only found out today who she was lol I was hoping it would be Emma Watsons hot younger sister but apparently not.

Fail

Anyone have any advice for getting seized bolts off calipers/wheel hubs? I've used every f**king socket and breaker bar I have + gone and bought new shit and still can't get the f**kers off... used heaps of the degreasing shit that has worked for me before, it gets in and breaks up the gunk. But not on either of these 2 bolts on my LF brake caliper. Gonna stab a kitten soon if I can't get it off.

Orrrrrr anyone wanna lend me a compressor + air tool kit? :):(

I'd use a hammer tbh. Big one.

Hmmmm it's crazy, I've used hammers on spanners/sockets/breaker bars.

I've tried the old jump up and down relentlessly on breaker bar. All that did was move the car, even with the wheels chocked and handbrake blah blah blah.

My best looking option other than a rattle gun is to get another caliper from a wrecker, and angle grind the bolt/caliper off lol. But I'm not terribly confident that it would work 100%, and I'm not sure I wanna risk damaging other parts in there (the disc etc)

You show me you ring spanner I'll show you mine :(

You sly dog, you know you don't have to ask :)

ravi i have air tools and cordless rattle gun

Dannnnnnnnnn that would be well sick if you'd wanna help a brother out... It seems you're the go-to guy for everyone hahahaha. How does the cordless rattle gun work? Is it essentially a cordless drill? Cause it would wanna have a whole shitload of torque behind it to get these f**kers undone...

Hahahaha hollllllly shit.

The wheel hub is 30mm, I have the socket for that on a ...... 1/2" connector I think.

The caliper is around about...14mm or something... I've got the socket as well on a 1/4" connector.

Is that of any use to you?

i'll have to bring my selection of sockets. Most likely will destroy standard sockets with this tool. PM your number. tomorrow arvo ok with you to do this? i'll be there around 5pm or so.

That rattle gun has nothing on my air powered one. It has a little over double that power

Hahahaha jesus titty f**king christ...... I WANT THAT POWER

*that's what she said?*

Yeah sick I'll send you my number... I'm gonna go have another stab at it now and just see what happens

Yesssssss! Got the left front caliper off! Hahaha so that's one thing off the list.

Still need to replace both rear drum brakes and the stud on the front right... then it's everything I need to do.

Is there anything special about taking the hub off? Have a look at the pic, just socket on and rotate to undo? Or is there some kind of cap there that needs to come off first? I can't tell?

Dumb question - how does it remove? Pry the squashed bit up with a screw driver.... then what?

bring the two "split ends" together with screwdriver/pliers whatever (so it's straight again), then pull it out from the non split end

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
