SCOUSERS JOIN FERRARI

"The Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday."

This announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the australian government's 'Work for your Dole' scheme and employ some lonsdale youngsters.

The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from lonsdale were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high tech equipment.

It was thought to be an excellent, bold move by the Ferrari management team as most races are won and lost in the pits, giving Ferrari an advantage over every other team.

However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for! At the crew's first practice session, not only was the lonsdale pit crew able to change all four wheels in under 6 seconds but, within 12 seconds, they had re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car to the Mclaren team for 8 cases of vb, a bag of weed and some photos of Lewis Hamilton's bird in the shower.

We should be so proud of our exports :)

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Nope. the car went in to fix up the ratios from lean to normal, but im not sure what they are.

you should always ask for a print out of the air/fuel ratios which they can put on your dyno sheet graph and also ask how much timing its running

thats the mistake i made "not knowing my air/fuel ratios and timing" and 2 months later they leaned my car out on the dyno

bye bye piston 6 ring land after spending ALOT of $$ with them!!!!!!

Valiant update:

Drove it around the block today, and it over heated lol. Pulled the thermostat out and it was siezed up. The pipe was all blocked from corrosion. Cleaned all that out and got it looking nice. Changed the spark plugs and dropped the oil.

Tomorrow i will:

Fill up with coolant and put thermostat in.

Put new engine oil in

Hopefully find someone with a fuel filter instock

And give it a basic check over

Other then all that it will get a wash sometime before sunday.

hey guys...

anyone changed their brake pads (diy) before (specifically 4 piston calipers [33/34gtst])? got any tips for slotting those new pads into the caliper?

those pistons are tough to get past without special tools. Dont want to damage anything! Anyone got any tips?

Just seeing if there's a simple way to install. otherwise i'm going to put the old pads back in and hand it over to my mechanic!

looked at the DIYs but i'm sceptical about some of the methods, and want to avoid damaging anything at all costs

what would be the cheapest way to get a car back from vic

drive my mums car and hire a trailer for a couple of days n do an overnight trip?

I had a car freighted over using movingcars.com.au - the actual carrier they used was Patrick Autocare and from memory it was $300 something from Melbourne. It must be able to be driven onto the truck though.

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
