You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

exactly, but not one of you can do anything about it? lol i find it funny that the only person that can is the one that says "I dont get paid for it so you cant expect me to do it as pleased" why doesnt he give the authority to one or two of the other execs who will and "have the time"?

/end rant

Ask Richo if there is a spare role, not sure if there is at the moment. But I may be unaware

As for the above comment I agree, already been down that path brah :/

There's alot of stuff that goes on behind the forums re issues and complications that are always discussed that the general forum users are not always aware of

Not a lot we can do about it, SAU Vic is a seperate entity to SAU; Ash being in charge of the latter and he has never wanted to delegate forum power to SAU Vic execs, so you'll have to be patient :)

Lol I don't care about being an exec I was annoying you.

But passionate about people paying for shit to support the club, and not have a prompt return.

When u go to Coles to get eggs you don't pay for them and have to wait 10 days for them to become available.

There should seriously be someone else handling all of that if that one person isn't enough to keep up. It's probably half of the reason why people don't bother becoming a member

The Club has no say in how the forums are operated or managed. The forums allow each club a unique area for their club members, however forum rules still apply within those areas and ultimately the forums still control those areas, though the clubs do have some moderation control as well.

We make requests, just like any other forum member can. That is as far as we can go.

I do hope that the situation changes for the forums in the near future to improve the situation. As the last 2-3 months have not been great forum compatibility wise.

thats exactly right, but the fact that the moderators wont expand their teams within the Club exec's is pretty poor form, its nothing against the club itself, but more the moderators running the show.

its a simple task, I'm sure that it doesnt have to go before Julia Gillard to grant moderator access to someone such as yourself, it probably doesnt need to go before anyone for that matter, and its a selfish act for the moderators to restrict members access to something they've payed for because they can't be bothered doing it.

There are plenty of people trustworthy enough in the commitee team ie, yourself toby Dan etc, that wouldn't walk around like Mad082 waving their banstick around to justify their ego.

nothing against the vic club, if it was I wouldntve renewed.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
