No need to explain why you had that photo handy Dale... We understand... :P

Only chicks I saw at Golburn were you and Craig, Alex.

Guess I had that coming. :unsure:

receptionist....?

Forgotten that, or was that Artz?

That was Artz drooling. :)

Yep. :P

On topic, have there been any strange noises under your bonnet yet Dale? Swearing and the like?

Lol, how did you know? :whistling:

It's all fitted, and I'm pretty sure it's leak free now. Entirely my own fault; I should've known better, I re-used the OEM clamps on the Bleed block. :domokun:

Rookie error.

Ended up stripping right back to the valley, as I wasn't 100% sure I didn't have a leak on the bottom AN fitting. Ended up the coolant was sneaking down the inside of the Fireproof sleeve and pooling behind the plate in the valley.

Hose was perfect length, and with a tiny amount of detergent and a cup of boiling water to soften the hose; went together without issue.

EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I took has somehow been deleted from my camera, (4 year old camera aficionado to blame here), and I'm not pulling it down again. :no:

I haven't had a chance to drive it far yet, so I'm not sure of the improvement, but going by the slug of air trapped in the valley; it can't be worse.

no love? that's ok i got under it on the weekend. front right wheel bearing needs replacing

Have you had the CV boot replaced recently?

Mine failed after it was disturbed when I had the CV repaired.

sorry, have not been on a while yes it was bov , all sorted :yes:

thats pretty scary.. yeah had a CV boot replaced about 10 weeks ago.. i watched the guy do it.. seemed to do it well.. have checked it its still intact..

I think pressing the shaft out of the wheel bearing is the straw that breaks the camel's back (so to speak) on bearings right at the end of their life.

Amayama is the best source for replacement bearings; buy a pair & make it worth the postage. ;)

I think pressing the shaft out of the wheel bearing is the straw that breaks the camel's back (so to speak) on bearings right at the end of their life.

Pretty much at any time of their life. Front (Flat) roller bearings require sufficient clamping force (the tightened driveshaft provides this), for correct operation. So, any excessive pressing/hammering/bashing of the shaft to remove it from the hub, will most likely kill the bearing.

If, for any reason, the car needs to be moved with the driveshaft removed, the outer cup needs to be removed from the shaft, refitted to the hub & tightened, or bearing failure WILL occur.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • 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. 
    • 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
