Make sure you keep a couple of packs for Giant. He rates them highly for those long Brisbane to Darwin drives he does so often.

will do. got some for you and some for our telly tubby look-a-like mate, rusty. will even throw a few berry's way though he's baby making these days and may not need them. not sure we want russ driving one handed from darwin to brissy though. he is bad enough of a driver with both hands on the wheel!

Beer!

BTW, Queenslanders, we're road tripping it down obviously, we'll be taking a dual cab tilt tray with my car and a dirty big f off Snapon roll cab.

I'm asuming we'll head off Thursday AM?

If you need a hand with your car Marlin let me know, stacking tyres whatever, I work for free.

also, there should probably be some form of Karaoke ? LOL

Coop, bring it down mate, the thing is a weapon!

Haha righto. Pull some strings for me in the tyre department and I'll do it. Otherwise I'll just pit crew for you. I'm a machine with a tyre presure guage.

Mate I think I'll be actually Purchasing tyres!!!! Rare I know!

I sold my old falcon last week so I've got a bit of play money for tyres and brakes and was talkin to the mrs last night and she seemed half keen to tow the junker down there. Never know.

Well, looks like I am out for the 3rd year in a row. Been trying to convince myself to do this...but bugger it. But deciding will do Zandvoort on the 4th August instead :) Means I can sneak in the Hungarian GP as well rather then spend 4k on entering Superlap. One year! :)

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
