What ended up being the issue?

New shed? How big ?

Something to do with one of the sleeves, haven’t been told exactly what yet, hopefully will find out when I pick it up and get the chance to talk to the them face to face 

yeah new shed, it’s only a 6x6.5 but for a suburban area is a pretty decent size

I have come to find my 9x6.5 isn't big enough...

Too many toys (tools)... I think it's time to wall in the car port bay and move some stuff... Hmm...

 

 

Brett, update?

How's garage build?

Engine rebuild?

Isn’t really much to update, 

the shed I’ve been trying to get the slab down but the certifier keep finding hoops for me to jump through, I’m hoping I’m somewhere near close now. 
 

the car I haven’t seen since November, the engine isn’t back yet and either is the sump. I’ve already written off gtr fest and am starting to doubt I’ll make any other event this year

Ok it amazing how much things can change in the space of 2 days. 
 

the shed is at the point where all I need to do is organize the concreter to do his thing and it’s off and running 

with the engine

Awesome!

So.....  Have they given you the FULL story as to what it was?  Warped sleeve, cocked sleeve, cracked, driver error 🤪...??

All I could get was it was leaking and they resealed it.

Is it back in yet? Chop chop😉

I don’t have the car or the sump, my aim is to get my shed built and then get the car in there and start working on it again

I decided to rebuild the throttle bodies because they didn’t feel smooth when you opened and closed them

them when I started

bit of heat to break the seal on the screws

press out the shaft

new bearings next to the old ones

cleaning the old throttle coat off the housing and butterfly’s

all clean

new bearing and the bearing locks which also hold the seals in place

new throttle coat applied and the new seals that I pressed in 

 

once it was all done the throttle felt a lot smoother to open and close and definitely a much better piece of mind

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
