You'd wanna chop chop Eps, I'm having drama's with both Ceffies at the moment, bank balance is dropping fast and I'm 4 weeks away from my next pay day (I'm meant to be on 4 week arrears pay cycle, but work f**ked up, and paid me mid July, so I'm on a 6 week stretch for next pay this time)

okay guys it's all organised and being picked up on monday afternoon..

Nic, what's going on with your cars THIS time? you worry me.. :bunny: do you not work in the big smoke? i'm situated in east perth if you want to pick parts up during work hours... or you could just GO to the shop with me on monday and take them from there!

Jason - that's great news man, how do we get the parts up to you? are you able to come pay me a visit? or shall i maybe bring them up to you when i do my windsheild... no way am i posting those parts to you - that would not be worth it..

esky - your headlights will be in the post this week... i work near a post office so i'll organise this during my lunchbreak. don't worry - i'll pack them up really special-like.

now guys a spot of bad news about this - KYP will not (trust me - they will not) come down off their $450 price, i tried my best - basically this just means that your parts will come up to $112.50 each

so 12 bucks 50 more per head

if this is going to cause you worries financially - let me know via PM and we'll work something out.

Rowan out

Nic, what's going on with your cars THIS time? you worry me.. :bunny: do you not work in the big smoke? i'm situated in east perth if you want to pick parts up during work hours... or you could just GO to the shop with me on monday and take them from there!

I work in Welshpool, so very close to KYP, however, I do work, on Mondays, sadly.

I knock off at 16:30 so I can meet you there about 10-15 mins later ? They close at 5 I think/

Having drama's with spiggot bush removal. I have tried every trick I can find on the internet and the little f**ker still hasn't moved 1mm.

I've already wasted $650 into it shit to get it running again, and it still doesn't like me. I don't have alot of budget left. I should normally be paid every 4 weeks, but work f**ked up my last one and paid me mid July, so I'm on a 6 week stretch between paydays, this leaves me incredibly vulnerable, so I am trying to keep spendings down where possible, if you don't mind holding onto the bumper and relying on good faith that I will actually buy it off you as soon as easily possible, that'd be muchly appreciated, you know, with how much of an awesome guy you are and all...?

i'll see your awesomeness and raise you - you take your toys and just pay me later on - but PROMISE you're gonna pay me! :P

and... i knock off about 430ish too but about 10 mins drive to KYP... so i can meet you there but if you're not planning on taking the parts then you don't need to bother meeting :bunny:

as for spigot bushing.. have you tried just fking BLASTING it with wd40 and just LEAVING it for like 20 minutes?

have you got multigrips? you can borrow mine if not - but it is wat you need man

give this link a try if you feel like a read

I actually have a place in Canning Vale now =D so yeah it won't be too much of a problem. Plus, I'm alright for transport regardless. I'm not moving for a week or so anyway.

Post is ridiculous, keep it at yours if you can mate, and if you send us a text with your address I'll figure out a way to get down like later in the week sorta thing.

Nic, is it possible that you could damage the old spigot to get it out? like, drill holes in it and shit.

I don't understand how the hydraulic method isn't working for you. It by all rights SHOULD. So, yeah wtf man.

Drill that sucker out... i did and it worked fine. the crank is tough, if the drill bit does go haywire it'll just lean against the crack and cut the shite out of the spigot bush....which is what you want.

eps, let me know how you want payment, also need to give you my details

Edited by esky_mad

I've tried hydraulical lifting, brute force, grips, WD40, and every trick I can find on the internet.

I don't have sufficient room to weld anything on, and yes I have tried destroying the old spiggot on removal (hacksaw, and welding something on the big lip which the auto's have in front of the spiggot for the torque convertor).

Won't

good going, top bloke!!! =)

miss youuuuu

oi everyone. parts are now at my house waiting pickup by you all

NIC - good news mate - your series 3 bumper has that lower black plastic "chin" lip that eveyone faps over

attn all - parts are dismantled and ready to be picked up / posted...

eskymad i've taken one of your headlights to work... that way i can get an approximate quote from australia post...

...i'll be honest man - these are heavy i'm thinking it may work out cheaper to get a quote from a logistics company? i'll get back to you on it... i just don't want to make you pay through the nose!!!!

then again - people on ebay send headlights all over the country all the time so it CAN't be THAT bad!!!

    • Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
    • 75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive. 
    • Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof
    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
