hey peoples,

ive just got a job working on the big oil rigs, and i have to leave my girl in the shed for a long period of time. ive heard that there is a list of things u have to do to the car to insure that it will work when i get back.

i know about the battery and fuel going off so far is there any thing else

?????

Thankyou

all help is needed

talked to a m8 but the same issue n he reckons

u cld drain oil i guess, but wldn't drain ALL fluids such as coolant (radiator)

unless u are 500% sure there is no moisture in there otherwise, the slightest bit of moisture cld cause ur radiator to corrode from the inside out

just a thought

yeh ive thought of doing the last 2 things.....im thinking of selling it but then we i come back on breaks i wont have a car :D and i dont want to no poo goto have a line.....and i could try a friend.... cheers

I would pump the tyres up to 60psi. This will stop them from getting flat spots. Also.....do not drain the fluids. It is almost a must that it be started and run to operating temp once a month to avoid damage.

If you try to start it after one year of sitting....expect it to blow smoke for the rest of it's life.....but then again, you could be lucky.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
