Yep. I normally go to Whiteman park and Malaga every year. 3 mins from home both directions. Followed every stage a few years back.

I was gonna head to the city for the morning and watch the riverside drive section.

Thought I'd quickly check my ute and how easy to block the EGR. Got too into it and ended up stripping heaps off it to reveal this

Yep, I've got the 2 fuel filters already done.

Catch can might get done next service

Finally got it all back together and running.

Thanks man. Jack and I gave it some justice today. Blackened was awesome. Punchy tight and deep with good separation. Not a show winner by any means but I'm happy with the results. Angles, maths, wood, glue, nail gun, staple gun, sanding, sealer, wiring, carpeting, insulation, brackets, nuts and bolts, soldering, helm holtz theory of resination and ohms law. I'm pretty proud of the boy. He built the p/s box pretty much by himself with some help from me. Great father and son project:-)


If you wanted to kick it up to the next level you can start doing individual channel eq, mixing and level control.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
