but they are paying for it all yea? so why does it bother you? get them to pay the bill and it gets fixed, they dont pay it, it doesnt get fixed.

All because 2 Teeth broken off the crown wheel in the FWD Diff... And noone wants to touch it...

Man, if it was a skyline, it'd be like $300 for a new diff and it's good to go :P

bitch please, $150 will get you a complete 2nd hand diff in housing.

Probably wont buy new xbox or PS, I have both current gens and never ever use the things lol

probably like 30 hours all up on my xbox and like 4 hours on my PS, guess i use that for blurays sometimes though

I bought GT5 and a G27 combo for like $450 when it came out.. probably used it for like an hour lol

GT5 was shit compared to forza

Edited by UNR33L

Yeah I bought the G27 for like $450 or something before GT5 was released.... I've used it a few times, GT5 is more fun with the wheel, but definitely harder. Drift with it is awesome though :D

I'd sell my G27 in perfect condition for $250, it's been used about half a dozen times... just a little dusty from sitting in the cupboard for ages.

Extent of engine damage if anyone was interested:

hooray for engine rebuild and mi-goreng diet time!

Will be nice to sort out issues through and make it better than it was. Seriously, one adjustable cam gear and its set to 0 anyway *Jackie Chan*

Springs might not as been good as originally thought, cause theres not many left in 1 piece lol.

    • 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
