Anyone out there will to let me borrow there pit or hoist for as little as half hour... even for a small fee. need to change my oil. i live on western side but will drive anywhere for access...

a workshop offering a pit to lend out for an hour would make a fortune...

ay rick i will ask a close mate of mine his in airport west off matthews ave..

if he isnt to busy i might change my oil aswell same time, but this will be a after 4.30pm thing..

will post in here 2moro and tell ya the times available, if available...

havent got a trolly jack, drive way or anywhere to do it really. and just moved to this so pit or hoist will come in handy. clus i can have a good look at the bushes as thers a bit of a clunk coming out of the car. just moved to melbourne area from SA and dont have money to pay for someone else to do it when ive always done work on my car my self.

when past 2day rick and as expected he is full.. he dont open sundays as he doesnt need to..

but if your still stuck by next week, he will call me and try arrange for something..

kaz he is on king street, lol and thats all im saying...

i could do it my self no worries if i had a decent jack that would fit under the car. we got rid of everything when we made the move over here... even my massive tool set.

as for people not lending there hoist.. that was expected.. i was just curious to see if anyone has thought of opening there doors to people on the weekends as im sure im not the only person. cheers though

Comes down to insurance, your not an employee so they are in the sh|t if you do something wrong (just something to think about)

Maybe you could invest in another trolley jack?

Would pay for itself after the first 2 uses id imagine saving workshop labour fees :)

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
