Group Service Day

[CerealKiller]

i'd be up for this. I need a service soon and I'm interested in learning how to do stuff and save money.

[T0nyGTSt]

I'd also be interested if people road around in each others cars to get a feel on where the problems are, lagging, response etc. where things can be improved if you know what I mean?

[Sumo]

Tony, you mean, so people can get a feel for different combinations and make opinions on how well different setups work?

[YRL05S]

People,

I was a mechanic, so i can offer my services, i will lend a hand, as long as it's nothing major like cambelts, waterpumps etc.

ok, this looks like enough interest to me, i'm going to start looking at getting bits and setting a date, i'll keep you all posted.

If anyone feels that they could lend a hand (be it on the day or just in an organisational manner) feel free to let me know.

This sounds like a really good idea to me..So im in for sure..

Have you thought about tools yet? Should we all bring our own doeas this workshop in Silverwater have tools we can use??

eitherway im in for sure...

[raz0r$harP.UK]

I'm sure it'll be a big success. If someone gets the ball rolling (ie place, mechanics) I'm sure the interested parties (myself included) will come flying in.

[Marsss]

Top idea! Question now is when?

[Jimbo2000]

Yo moddies, Sticky this

(please)

[Messiah]

Bump....

Oh and sticky too please.

Just a further note... Does anyone here work for a garage or parts supplier? i thought i'd see if there is anyone in house who'd like to sell us the bits.

[Jimbo2000]

hornsby nissan might be the go for that.

??

[Tosh]

yeh go hornsby nissan... if you join the SAU NSW club as well as a financial member you will also get discounts on parts

JOIN THE CLUB!!!!!

[Messiah]

Ok i'll check with Hornsby Nissan asap.

Next big thing is what to get. Ideally i'd prefer to get a whole bunch of general stuff in bulk then let people source any special bits themselves.

Heres what i'm thinking of asking for (everyone who pays in advance will get this)

1. Spark plugs (good ones too)

2. oil

3. oil filter

4. fuel filter

5. belts

are all pretty straight forward. but the next group

1. Leads

2. Brakes

are all kinda varying.... some people have good quality leads that dont need replacing, others dont, and as for brakes.... thats just kinda shakey cos they are damn important and things are bad if its done wrong.

Anyone have any additions for the list, the more specific you are the better, if possible i'd like to get brands/types that everyone would be happy to use so i need a good general consensus on parts if possible.

As for tools i'm thinking byo. that said there may be some tools that none of us have (like a wrench for an oil filter etc etc). Can anyone think of more of thesde, and if so, does anyone have any spare they can bring with them.

heh.... this day is turning out to have alot of variables.

[Jimbo2000]

ps our son of rajab and messiah has joined, is just waiting on the membership pack

[T0nyGTSt]

Also I'd forget belts.

It's a 100,000km job and it's big. It takes 2/3 professionals just under 2 hours to do it.

[Jimbo2000]

Also I'd forget belts.

:werd:

[Hiroshima Screamer]

ill bring my bucket of bolts

[gtst-mspec]

I'd definately be keen. I need spark plugs (NGK Iridium - agree?) and general service. Would like to replace all hoses with silicon. That might be another straight-forward job that could be done in a day.

I will have a chat to UAS and see if I can convince them to bring a truckload of parts down. Any idea what date / how soon?

[Jimbo2000]

go coppers, do a search for sparkplugs.that conversation brought an overwhelming copper over platinum and irriduam verdict for skylines.
