  • 2 weeks later...

i have been suffered by a stupid engine problem (killing spark plugs) for over a month and have spent around 250 on the plugs as well as some amount of money spent in another workshop (they are good but i guess they are just too busy to look at my car properly)

finally, holidays are all over, so i wake up early today and gave Ben a call see if he is available. Anyway, i was running late and dropped the car in around 3.00pm...i took 1 hour bus trip back to monash uni plus 1 hour walk to McDonald's and back home~~~!!! Guess what~~~!!??? as soon as i got home, i got a phone call from Ben...all fixed...unbelievable right~~~!!!

All i want to say is Ben you are the best in VIC and thank you for your help~~~!!!!

Its not a question of "other" workshops being busy or anything mate.

They just simply dont know what they are looking at.

Ben will work it out, and it wont cost you the earth like other workshops who just p|ss fart around for weeks on end taking pot luck guesses at what the problems are.

There are too many average joe workshops in Vic, especially in the western suburbs. 99% of them have no idea

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
