Hi guys,

I have a car in storage which can only be there for a max of one month

On Saturday i need some help with parting a few things out of the car

I need some help to remove the 5 stud pattern on the car and put them on mine and then replace the other car with my old 4 stud pattern

change over my brakes to turbo ones

I also need help with taking the doors off and removing the glass (front and 2 rear quarter)

Also i want to remove the aircon system and other little parts to sell due to needing to pay off the seller ASAP

i would appreciate it so much seeing that i don't know how to remove these things

the place is out at gepps cross

cheers again

Gepps Cross is just up the road from me. I can help out if you wish ... but can only do so on weekends at this stage.

If the site has power, I have a compressor and rattle gun that can make short work of everything.

I could make myself free Saturday morning. I'll need to do work around my house extension in the arvo.

We can get alot done in the morning. Two people is better than one, and I can get you onto certain jobs to save time. :) I'll PM you my mobile number and we'll work it out from there.

If its got power, would it then have a bar fridge with beer? :w00t:

Anybody else want to lend a hand? :D

I might be able to free up a few hours .... will let you know closer to the day. I assume you want to change over all the rotors/brakes/lines at the place, so you would need AT LEAST 4 decent size jacks. I also have a compressor and lots of air tools.

Ahh what do you guys recommend?

I've got the whole braking system to play around with i think besides the rotors! im pretty sure hes parted the rotors..

WIll i need to change the whole thing over? Should i just do the brakes? forget about the lines and rotors etc?

He also said that i will need new brake pads which ones do you guys recommened and where abouts would i find them? i'm just after cheap reliable stuff at the moment

cheers

'Cheap' and 'reliable' don't really go together. If its mostly easy street driving, then any common-brand pad will do. SAU-SA members get 10% off at Autobahn if you want to go with Bendix or another brand. That 10% off would probably pay for your membership with the savings.

I'm going for QFM pads once I've upgraded my brakes (hopefully this weekend coming). Can be had for cheap on ebay.

:P

ahah thought so

i will probably just sus out and get some front and rear turbo pads

also with the rotors because they don't come with any on the wrecked car does that mean i have to buy new rotors to fit on the 5 stud conversion?

If you are doing a 4 stud to 5 stud conversion you will definitely need all of the rotors, as well as brake calipers, and you will need the whole wheel hubs off - it is quite a massive job.

No probs :)

Most bits are off, just the rear hubs next.

Thanks for picking up my extension cord too. Got into a bit of a panic about that ... kicking myself for being in a rush to leave :D

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
