My Gor Mishap.

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

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.

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

There once was a lass called merowyn...

Always good when you suspect the worst but find it's far less .

[willL]

ahh good to see all is good now.

[Count Grantleyish]

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

[arep3]

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.

as soon as i sort out this stupid idiot insurance claim ive got going at the moment and get some extra cash i might come stir you up Trent. i gots a few things i need fixed! lol

[Count Grantleyish]

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?

[arep3]

AHHH that is the million dollar question my friend....

[Sarumatix]

Tomei... droolz.

[llama_au]

Those t-bolt Norma jobbies seems to be the only ones that stay on in my car. Found Repco's stock of them slightly larger than Autobarn.

[Count Grantleyish]

Tomei... droolz.

You reckon we could 'borrow' this motor without Ron looking?

[Sarumatix]

All RBs look the same.. shouldn't be too hard IMO.
