Was thinking last night with all the money we spend on our cars it would be really good if we could help each other out financially.

Now personally i'm a fully trade qualified boilermaker/Welder and could probably help some of you guys out with welding up smallish jobs (don't necessarily have to be to do with your car)

So if you work with computer gear and can get that cheap or maybe a tyre place cause we all need tyres, whatever you think you can possibly help someone else out with please post it in this thread and hopefully we can get this thread stickied if everyone thinks its a good idea!

EDITED BY CUBES:

This is an awesome idea.

Keep it on topic and no requests as requests are pointless. Simply state what you can do for others. :wave:

At the request of some forum members I have gone through this thread with the edit brush - trimming the chat and so forth. Please keep any questions/requests to PM

I'm a website developer + graphic designer, can do a good price on that sort of thing. :dry:

Also can provide almost any jaycar product very cheaply (and even cheaper for group buys).

Can't really help anyone out with my day job however I am also able to help out with specialist print jobs.

My printer allows me to print in the usual black, cyan, magenta and yellow. As well as silver and white and soon will buy some cartridges to allow me to print in Gold, and chrome colours.

So if you need anything printed (small quantities) I will do it for a couple of dollars (as the ink is expensive)

I am an assistant manager in a hardware store. Can also look after fellow skyliner's with maybe 10% discount on general hardeware. Also trade quantities of timber for pergola's or deck's etc. :thumbsup:

I’m a full time software engineer, so basically anything you want done to a PC I can do it...even turn it onto a beer fridge! Something like this: beer PC :P

I don’t know how much I can help out in general but I MIGHT be able to score cheap hosting, and of course anything to do with software you want done/fixed/made..., I’m your man.

Also good quality two way paging car alarm systems fully installed I can help you out, PM me!!

Johnn, are you any good with or know someone who is profficient in MS Access?

I have a little relational database thats got me stumped. I thought my skills were OK, but this one got a bit difficult.

PS I teach at the Womens and Childrens Hospital, and look after the network for the school. If anyone needs some IT advice I am happy to help where I can. I also have some wholesale access to parts and systems through Protech. (can save you a few dollars on an upgrade or system)

I'm an electronics technican myself too, but I also used to do work that specialised in EFI & Ignition systems for 2 years as well as other stuff. I tested & fixed literally hundreds of ignition systems & engine computers injectors etc.

I don't have all the equipment to do all the work myself & admittedly most of this work was done off of the car, but I do have a good handle on the spanner work, do all my own servicing & have fixed friends cars on several occasions. My car hasn't seen a service centre since I bought it a year & a half ago.

I can do a lot of diagnosis work which I could do at a fraction of the cost that an Auto Electrican would charge & can probably sorce some parts at a decent price too. Auto electricans & mechanics would come to us, buy something or get something fixed & put their cut on before selling it to the customer & half the time we figured out the problem for them over the phone!!!

Advice on here I'll do for zip provided it doesn't get too complex :laugh:

    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
    • Yeah, the plan is to just put some black rubber vacuum line caps over them to "hide" them a bit I don't want to trim them in cause I need to put the OEM box back on at some stage
