Keen as :thumbsup: Last one was a good drive. Saturday is probably better for me, morning would probably fit in better but Im not too fussy - Id probably still show up for a sunday afternoon :)

keen as. but definately sunday, the missus and i work saturdays, any time morning or arvo. just not on the 21st, I'm taking my Dodge on the Yankallila chrome bumper street machine cruise!

hi guys, if im not working i may come up from whyalla :ermm:

going to pick up my 260RS on thursday from NSW :D

149-1060-2-1.jpg

i was posting prior to this under "thrashworks" but that was kinda a joint account... so now ive made my own :down:

would be nice to meet some other owners :ermm:

Yeah mate it is from Nagoya motors. :) pretty much standard except for zeal coilovers and exhaust and 42,101k's

too excited to pick it up...

and cheers :P

Good luck.

is this gonna be a north or south run Ruby. always keen for more hills run and less carpark.

should do a delamere run and open em up!

I had a chat with someone the other day about a north run. But I'm going to change my mind and make it a south run ... and I've got a nice route in mind too. May even cater for your Delamere run :D I may make this a 2 part cruise and the second part optional for those running out of time.

So far I'm thinking Sunday 14th November, with a meet around 10-10.30. Meet point to be advised by PM. Is everyone happy with a meet point south of the city? I live north, and I'm happy ... but its my cruise tho ;)

@Big Fella have you heard anything about Nagoya motors? First time I've dealt with them, hopefully it all goes well and I can join you guys biggrin.gif

Brendan, I've dealt with Nagoya Motors and they were awesome for me. I too flew to Sydney, picked up my stag and drove it home. :blink:

    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
    • Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?
    • Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.
    • Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
