After seeing the above, I got this one for $30 + postage.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

Also bought this about 12 months ago from Germany. Great for rivnuts in hard to get at places, does both nuts and threads.

Not sure if the address is the same business, I just found it and used it for the photo etc.

Yeah I ended up going the same one, the only frustration was it doesnt come with M5 or M4 mandrels which would have been an obvious inclusion for such a compact tool. Who the hell uses rivnuts to hold an M10 bolt??

So, I'm not sure if this actually classifies as tools but I'm really happy with these. The transition between my garage and driveway sucks. Without some boards, it scrapes the front lip even at stock ride height it ruined my OEM lip.

I have to get rid of the old board and cut a 4 x 6 on angle to replace those old boards.

Half moon obstruction ring spanner - Take that you pesky inaccessible fourth turbo nut you!

It's not quite perfect, still jams against the turbo front outlet, but better than nothing...

Me, used the M10's for attaching my Grundfos water pump to a welded up pedestal which in turn is SS dyna bolted to the pump shed floor, now I can pump water from my bottom tank to my top one....hehehe

Also, what does everyone use to get to the water drain on the block, the one behind the turbo?

I tried a few different spanners and sockets and just cannot get a purchase on it, one thing I do know, when I finally get it out I an going to make one up with an extended head like 40-50mm hex bar and 50mm long as well.  Its a PITA to get to with anything decent.  Needs room for a breaker bar!!!

I cut a spanner in half then got a larger spanner on the back of it for leverage. Just enough room to turn it with the cut in half spanner after you break it loose.

Sort of; in that I have one in boxes on the shed floor.

When we moved out of the old place I've had to leave the hoist behind because

1/ I can't get 3 phase power here, and

2/ the shed roof is about 0.5m too short for the hoist I have.

So as this is kind of temporary (for a year or 3....), I grabbed one of these. Not unpacked or used yet, I haven't had a job that needed it so far but will have to change the sludge/oil in the bush basher soon enough and replace the water in the brake lines with brake fluid, both of which will give me a reason to give it a go.

Without having used it yet, thoughts from me are that it is very expensive (a full hoist is the same price or cheaper) and obviously won't let you stand under it but this is easy for clearance, has no install cost or requirements, is portable, and has no overhead clearance issues.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
