I had intentions of going down again tonight but fell asleep watching the news and only just woke up now when the mrs called my phone!

Should be good, I can't next Saturday because of a wedding but I should be able to if you're going next Sunday

Yep, it'll probably be the sunday. Im leaning towards ardrossan simply cos I know they have tonnes of blueys up there

-D

Three nurses were talking. The first nurse said, "I was cleaning in Dr Johnson's office the other day and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines." "What did you do?" the other nurses asked. "Well, of course I threw them in the trash." The second nurse said, "Well, I can top that. I was in Dr Johnson's room putting away some files and I found a bunch of condoms!" "Oh my!" gasped the other nurses. "What did you do?" they asked. "I poked holes in all of them!" she replied. The third nurse fainted.

Hey Luke (and Jenkies)

You don't need to remove the front diff housing - with a couple of lever bars / big flat head screwdrivers you can pop the shaft out in no time at all........saying that well done for succeeding anyway!! Never give up I say!

Cheers,

Andrew

ahhh cheers luke and andrew.

finally at that point now.... all ive got left is the front drive shaft , front half shafts and the bellhousing bolts right at the top(any hints??) ive removed heater hoses from back of engine but it still seems nearly impossible... all this is so much ahrder than putting an rb20 into a vl hahhaha but soooo close. even picked up an engine crane tonight.

since going over the car pulling it appart ive found 2 loose idler pulleys that havnt been locked, injector clips that havnt been fastened propperly and my front turbo feels loose on the manifold...... man im glad ill be reassembling everything myself.... have alot more faith in taking 4 times as long and doing it properly myself

One more before bed ...

Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a

pleasant little picnic by the River Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is

in the air. Marie leans over to Pierre and says: "Pierre, kiss me!"

Our hero grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie's lips. "What

are you doing, Pierre?", says the startled Marie. "I am Pierre the fighter

pilot! When I have red meat, I have red wine!" She smiles and they start

kissing.

When things began to heat up a little, Marie says, "Pierre, kiss me lower."

Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and starts

pouring it all over her breasts.

"Pierre! What are you doing?", asks the bewildered Marie. "I am Pierre the

fighter pilot! When I have white meat, I have white wine!" They resume

their passionate interlude and things really steam up.

Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, "Pierre, kiss me lower!"

Our hero rips off her underwear, grabs a bottle of Cognac and pours it in

her lap. He then strikes a match and lights it on fire. Marie shrieks and

dives into the river. Standing waist deep, Marie throws her arms up and

screams furiously, "PIERRE, WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK

YOU'RE DOING?"

Our hero stands up, defiantly, and says, "I am Pierre, the fighter pilot!

If I go down, I go down in flames!"

ahhh cheers luke and andrew.

Hey mate, to get to the top 2 bolts u need to undo the gearbox subframe, so the gearbox is hanging, raise the car up alittle then u will need roughly a metre long extension on a rattle gun to reach the top two. Make sure all the speed sensors and connectors are undone.

Just random thnig that f**ked me of tonight, got pulled over by the popo and after taking a look at my car not noticing the carbon bonnet or the car being too low the cop tells me i have an illegal liscence plate holder on my rear bumper :rofl: ??? I asked wtf becoz clearly its just the stock r34 liscence plate thing where its meant to be but nup the officer continues to persist in telling me its illegal and that i should get a defect, and after about 30 mins of arguing he tells me to rev the engine and says im getting a defect ;) for an apparent bov that doesnt exist! But yet no mention for anythin else didnt chek rims, height, exhaust or anythin.

Things like this just shit me of! And worse is the whole time i was bein nice as i could with the 2 dudes wasnt givin em attitude or anythin hoping they would let me go!!!!!!

No BOV, but you must of had a pod filter making the whoosh whoosh noise or a blocked BOV making some sututututu therefore making the cop think its a BOV of some sort.... heard of that happening before and witness one with the latter.

I'd take 1 point over public transport/push bike any time of the day

@Ben - A couple of the guys that work for me were at Ardrossan last week and said there weren't many crabs around and then most were undersize. They reckon they had a better chance catching crabs in the local pub, next to the jetty/caravan park!

I was at ardrossan 2 weeks ago and we pulled up around 100 crabs, but most of them were undersize. Out of all of them, 6 were legal, and only barely. We were scooping 2-3 crabs up per retrieval of the nets... maybe I should try the moonta bay colony instead... there certainly were tonnes of crabs at ardrossan but not big ones. I was using redbait too (not supposed to but I didnt have any squid handy)

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
