need to get a valve replaced in a Tyre when I get home, any idea on how much?

it either the valve or the rim...

had a slow leak but the tyre was getting old replaced and the slow leak still there, so assuming valve or fked rim.

Last time I got a stuck valve replaced on the skyline it was free... They came out with their valve replacement tool, took off the valve cap, unscrewed the valve, screwed a new one in... Took 5 seconds, didn't even jack the car up or anything. Just replaced the 10psi of air that it dropped during the changeover.

If its the valve stem not sealing though, then thats a tyre-off job.

Also, if its the valve, then you shouldn't be losing air if you've got decent valve caps on.

Have a look at the valve stem when you get home and see if it looks new, a lot of tyre shops will replace the rubber stem and valve when they fit a new tyre.

Def not replaced.

Should probably look into some blue rays valve caps

interesting...but prob cheaper to buy a replacement ute.

could be the seal around the valve or a bunch of things, last time I got tires on the 200 they checked and the vale steam steal was cracked and perished, so it got new ones at the time.

and yeah they cheap and nasty plastic caps

Replacement ute doesn't come with a Free Instagram account and a boyfriend though...

Buy the Blue Rays valve caps, you can have all of these things and more.

LMAO!!!!

So last night I got some immunisations and threw a post up on FB taking a jab at Anti-Vaxxers... This morning I spot a Facebook Message sitting in my "Others" folder from some ransom person (friend of an international friend) saying "You won't be laughing when your children become retarted due to the governments lack of due diligence!"

1. Yes, she went out of her way to send a message to someone she doesnt know.
2. Yes, she's in an idiot.

3. Yes, she's "retarted"

Dat great weather, prime time to go and start enjoying a car...

..shame I blew the head gasket/cracked the block/lifted the head 7000kms after paying 12k+ to get the engine re-assembled last night!

the cycle cannot be broken

I don't think this was caused by you being Greg, I think this was caused by that abortion of a sentence.

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
