i got pulled and defected oh wonderful 3rd time in the last 6 months i got done for all the usuals which i can get cleared the one that has stuffed me is they got me for missing exaust mainfold bolts.now since i m upgrading to a hks gtrs in the next 6 months i planned on fixing the snapped off bolts then when i take the other turbo off, but with limited funds atm i cant afford to do that.

i need a QUICK FIX dodgy solution which will keep them in place for when i take it to get cleared.

any ideas ppls that wont look too dodgy? and i thought i would add that i m only literally 1 min or so away from the place i get stuff cleared at so i m not ruling out superglue at this point or a lil bit of high temp silicon but the silicon may look a bit red hot.

any ideas would be wonderful:):P:):P

Depending on how deep the bolts have snapped off,try tapping a thread into the manifold and cut some new bolts down to size and screw them in with some loctite stud lock adhesive ,this will last untill you want to change the engine.or buy one eazi out of the right size and replace them propperly they are not that exspensive.hope this helps you

+1

If it takes time to get this done, then get the return date for vehicle inspection extended.

Pointless to spend $$, time and effort just to do some half-arsed "fix" that isn't. You might beat the authorities, but really you're only cheating yourself.

Third defect in 6 months suggests other more major issues to attend to?

another dodgy idea... measure the hole size in the manifold and get a metric tap and tap it out to suit a bigger stud, and just cut the new stud in half and screw it into the manifold and attatch a nut so it looks as if its there... if they ask just say it f**ked the head so u drilled it out larger and put a bigger size thread into it.

But i highly recommend spending 100-200 dollars and get someone to do it for u. Surely you know someones mates mate who will do it for a carton or something? Do it once, do it properly

it will cost ~60 for each bolt a mobile stud remover to replace, try find someone who will do it with the manifold on.

if you know of someone that does it for around that price with everything in place, PM me :blush: paleeeeeeeez.

Heat resistant super glue and bolt heads FTW!! It will hold if you baby it to the place and do it from a cold start so engine don't heat up too much.

Or just wait till you have the funds and the new turbo and do it properly :blush:

LOLZ at this thread!!

alright ppls and no its not the driver to the person that said that i have full points and one speeding fine which was in my mums for KA when i first got my licence cops in newcastle dont muck around they out defecting every weekend.

since there snapped off inside the holes i have got new bolts which are going to be cut down and i m going to machine them at work so they fit nice and tightly and fill the hole with high temp silicon and let it mellow for a day to go off properly.

this stuff is good for 300 degrees it works best when creates a seal i ma boilermaker and we use this stuff on flanges on sites and its a real bastard to remove them cos its sticks real well.

i understand the manifold is going to be hotter then that but i can only hope that it will hold.

i m hoping who ever blue slips it looks and sees the new bolts and says ok thats very nice then they can tick off the other defects with my engineers certificate which this workshop does wish me luck ppls

most of the dodgy blue slippers up here have been wrapped over the knuckles.

what other mods have you got that get defected??

everything else that was defected a had an engineers certificate for so they bloke just ticked them off on the engineers advice.

there was nothing to dodgy about the guy i went to is he really going to try and test whether the bolts where in properly when the car is red hot he would have had burns from a$$hole to breakfast, but indeed he didnt even look in the engine bay he stamped the notice too 18.20 off me and sent me on my way,

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
