Hey all quick question I got my car back from the mechanic after he replaced my turbo gaskets and the next day I was driving home and my front bar fell off and a ran over it.. So what I wanna know is do you have to take the front bar of to replace the gaskets? Because its never fallen off before and when I asked the mechanic if he took it off he got pretty nervous and denied it but he said he noticed it was loose...

I can see how this question can sound dumb..i know the turbos come from the "top" but I don't think it can fit straight up between the engine and the strut Tower so wouldn't it have to get dragged forward past my pods and hard cooler piping?

This shit is the reason I do everything myself even on my daily, I don't trust the dodgy kents.....

Yer bad if I could do it myself I would...and it doesn't help after driving out of the shop it turns out one of my turbos are blown but apparently that's pretty common after gaskets blow :blush:

"I asked the mechanic if he took it off he got pretty nervous and denied it but he said he noticed it was loose..."

He noticed it was loose? What a champ, be nice if some mechanics to go above and beyond and tighten some noticeble bolts/clips up geez

Like one i had simple thing as a vaccum hose told me my boost gauge had stop working (stock one) get it home and the vaccum hose had split and broken dangiling around near my thermo fan...

    • 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
