i see

your being lazy, but i do know how you feel. i had the same trouble when i high flowed my turbo....

man the worst nut is the one on the dumpipe connecting to the back of the turbo the litttle one in the middel away from the block... mine was a diferent size, and also trying to put the water lines back on....

but yeah Andy i can sympathise with you, so when are you buying the high mount manifold :devil:

Nah not being lazy..I am about to go back down! I just need a drink! A stubby spanner makes that middle nut way easier!

High mount manifold may come with the new turbo

LOL mike u must be excited i would reply to your sms but doing it here is cheaper :devil: congrats on the payout :devil: guessing you'll set a decent amount aside for a good alarm/immobiliser for whatever you choose this time?

yeah, i'll be investing in gps tracking for this one.

OH

MY

GOD

None of the guys could get that one back on ours either - they made ME do it. Took me well over 45 minutes. Had to go like 1/4 mm from the top, 1/4 mm from the bottom. ARGH!

pros of owning 50xf's

-one key will open and start them all...

(ive owned 2 xf's in my time, my dad had one and one key could open and start them all and strangley for some reason my mums liteace van)

-plenty of spares, retread tyres are cheap for them..

-you could annoy businesses by moving your army of xf's around and parking them in inconvienent locations.. eg: clog up the entire milton carpark.

-one set of plates and one rego would cover them all, cops expect the xfs are stolen/out of rego when they see them anyway

-you could start your own one make race series...

cons

-not that practical

-fuel bills

-not a fully sik car these days

pros>cons :devil:

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
