who's doing it Eric?

Always good to know who will polish stuff :yes:

A friend Dan. He is a car detailer and is also doing metal polishing as well. He did someones turbo recently and it came up like a mirror.

He also polished and sealed my headlights. He did someone else's on here too but can't remember who it was.

If you want his details let me know.

Any one got access to a Ball joint Press?

probably, but not exactly sure what you need.

do you need to separate a ball joint from some sort of rod end, or do you need to press a ball joint out of a control arm.

if it's number 1 I can bring one down tomorrow, if its number 2 I could do it over the weekend (but I guess you could get any local shop to do it too)

Number 2. Press out and Press in Newies in the 31. I'll likely just get Pedders to do it but I'm replacing all the Bushes in the 31 aswell.

By the time I take it to them I'm hoping to get all Bushes done and Reduce their quote from over $500 down to about $50. :D

DIY FTW! :D

yeah I much prefer doing everything I can.....at least that way if a mistake happens I only have me to blame.

I've had too many bad experiences with shops over the years, they all make mistakes, and some of them are really f**king rude when they do.

you are doing this job right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOLVV7HYkZs. I'd take it to a mechanical workshop rather than pedders personally....like I said, if you get stuck I can bring it back and do it next weekend but a press is a pretty common tool.

I recently did all the bushes on the ute, the only ones that were really an issue were the front LCA inner bushes in the chassis, they were an arsehole to remove....couldn't press them out with a g-clamp (saw your cool tool :thumbsup: ), ended up burning and recipro sawing them out.

Yep, just like in that vid. And yeah I was considering using a Regular mechanic but thought Pedders being all about suspension etc could do the balljoints while they do the bushes.

Having had some good success with the LCA bushes, I'll have a crack at the Upper and lower trailing arm bushes and pan hard rod.

If successful, I'll just need to get Ball joints done somewhere.

Save a buck and learn a heap! Lovin' it. ;)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
