Anyways enough of my rant, prefabbly SE QLD and if they are mobile even better if not thats ok 2 :P

Not bagging you or anything, why not just use some degreaser and clean the oil around the rocker covers? I just did it 2 days ago, pulled of a lot of old oil. Funny when I bought the car tho it got a road worthy and it was all still there. And if it indeed is not leaking, it should stay clean for a while. :P

Sorry I can't suggest anyone however I am also interested in recommendations.

Oh no this is not this time, this just happend to me a car i had ages ago and I just don't want the same thing to happen again.

Cant remember the prices, may have been $100 comming to the house, its more if he comes to visit you, cheaper if you go to him. in and out in 10 mins but ;-) . Also, I used coomera car care ($50) for my line and a friends oil tanker, both passed ok there.

Ok I need to explain my self, I think I may have give of the wrong impression with this topic.

When I said Cheap I litrelly meant, I want someone who does it cheap. My car is in fairly good condition, its not the problem. I just want someone who will do it really really really cheap lol.

dude pretty sure the going rate for a roady is around $50

unless ur trying to say u want a dodgy roady,

in which case i highly doubt anyone would share their contacts on a public forum, to someone they havent met...

Yeah going rate is more like $70 and a Phoneworthy is about $100.....no-one is going to give you a safety certificate for peanuts especially as it sounds like the car won't pass either.

Oh FFS I said that the car isn't crap or dodgey, doesnt anyone read before posting and I've already gotten the Roadworthy first time around for $75.

I bet I could find 3+ items to fail it on, most cars over 5 years always have 'something' that makes them unroadworthy :laugh:

And if you already got one, why would you create a post about getting a RWC, go back to the original guy who already charged you a very reasonable rate.

I went a day after I started this post. And there was nothing to fail, I even asked him to check everything.

Just call some of the mobile guys and be straight up with them, tell them u want the RWC for re registration and that you dont wana pay twice.

Every mobile guy ive used comes out to your place, looks at the outside of the car for 5 secs then writes up the cert and they normally charge about $100.

That's it end of topic! :teehee:

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
