daniel was at home ironing his blose as usual

ha ha tee hee :(

as the vehicle is up for sale at the moment it is pretty much living it's remaining days under my ownership in the garage. It's being cleaned, fussed over and polished, but not really driven.

I've been down the GOR once with the 34, actually stayed at skene's creek (the place up the hills in the trees) - some amazing roads that's for sure... too bad when i went down some of the worst storms in many year passed through the area and Vic (april '08 i think, lots of power outages all across melb and down that way as well) - candles and fireplace were needed at the accomm. Car loved it down there though, ate it up.

Grant, great to hear it was a simple fix. Told you you took it to the right place :rofl:

Yeah the reason I'm going to Trent cos he is very easy to talk to and always helpful with my questions unlike many places.

so there were no metal shavings in the block? that's awesome!

p.s. merowyn say's hi :D

Yeah about one bit of metal shavings on top of piston 3, Peter and I suspected it is spark plug but I'll drain the oil just to be safe. I still have oil pressure which indicates the motor is tight.

Hi Merowyn :D

Will,

Yeah but I had to fork out $680 (2 x towings) for this damn thing.

When I'm going to put the HKS 2510s I've got sitting in my R, I'll replace the rest of clamps just to be safe.

Cheers

i got sick of the cooler pipe blowing off so i went nuts with hose clamps like this. http://www.norma.net.au/norma-gbs.html NEVER lost a pipe since! :blink:

dont use them.... worst clamps ever (read attached link... i bin about 30 a week). T-bolt clamps are a terrible trend started by autosalon dudes who like shiny stuff. Norma make some killer clamps which actually work see this link.

Trent,

That is quite a rant, these clamps are too chunky for my liking anyway. And you bin about 30 of these a week?!

Will have you to replace the standard ones with the one you put in my R other day when I'm ready to shit my pants with more killerwasps.

Cheers

Wouldn't bigger turbo happen to be one of these 'few things' you need fixed?

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
