Yo Chookie chicken, you keen for pies on the weekend? We may need to scout this 21st cruise route as people are concerned about the ferry so i am thinking we repicate the run and see for ourslelves before i post up all of the details in a thread.... Let me know if your keen? I dont wanna post it up without knowing what its like!

See that truck thing coming up Wednesday on One HD? Looks alright!

No but I'll check it out

On a different topic I dropped the truck off to get some work done under warranty. Mainly a new headgasket as the bolts have streched and it leaking coolant

I ask the service person if they got new headstuds for the job and they say no we will use the old ones they should be alright

I thought all headbolts were a single use thing these days so will see what happens

Looks interesting! I like seeing shit built :D

I would be replacing the head studs if it was my car but depending on what the workshop manual says on those things will determine what is replaced under warranty as its all by the book!

But seriously IF the leak is due to bolts stretching why the f**k would you re-use them? lol :no:

Wow, thats been a while man! I would PM one and ask if everything is OK?

I am sure mine went through pretty quickly.... Its copped a hiding today :woot: Pic dump followed by chat......

Its odd that you've had no reply, the guys are normally pretty good.......

Ash is up to his eyeballs in SAU Nats so not sure how you will go there, although he is generally awesome too :D

Oh and the job on the truck turned to shit as well

I wanted to get it done in a weeks time when I'm on holidays so if anything went wrong it wasn't a problem but for whatever reason the boss wanted it done today and pick it up tomorrow

I get a phone call that it won't be ready till Friday and the boss hits the roof, en result was it got put back together before the head came off and will be done when I'm on holiday

Is everyone's car under cover

Looking nasty weather wise

Yeah, it's been under cover for too long :/

You should see the pics Sean posted up in the members thread!! Snow/hail :blink:

Damn

Where's he at?

Oh and I would come with you guys on Sunday but unfortunately I'll be outside fishing

On a unrelated note I went to the BP near work this arvo for fuel and the young bloke behind the counter says

"I was wondering who owns that car. I've seen it in the car park and a mate of mine owns 33"

Was a bit surprised as I don't think the car gets noticed that much

Anyone think the below is too much stretch? Looking at the same tyres as the wheels on the left, which are the same width as mine...

Thoughts?

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
