  1. good luck! :)
  2. haha, we bought vacant land, Ive gotta build the bloody thing and pay for it lol
  3. haha nah, i never get on the net for fun these days. it all ads up rather quickly, but 173 hp on 35's at the tyres, easy 200 on 31's. And i havnt turned the gas back on yet. rebuilt with a brand new GU turbo head on my GQ block with GU turbo pistons coated, old head was cracked in all 6 cylinders lol, cracked cylinbder 5 in the NA black top motor pump by diesel central, hiflowed and played with TD05 18G turbo from united fuel injection
  4. nah, if they quit their apprenticeship with all trades its a 12month lockout from rejoining your apprenticeship, and even then theres red tape if I sign him on, it's just shite, cause for what a 3rd year costs through all trades i could employ a tradesman. they get signed up in school without realising these things, and get passed around, and what could be a good kid just ends up confused and 3rd year know bugger all.
  5. yeah I have a mortgage now :oops: It will happen, although there are stringent guidelines around the level of mortgage repayment, ie, I said I could pay it out in X amount of time, which means she's gonna hold me to it now, so the car will have to get done around that, currently looking to ditch my all trades apprentice and get my own and save myself about $700 a week, a reasonable amount of which could probably be contributed towards this. I just need to decide on a brake package, so I can size master cylinders and buy a pedal box. I have the seat and harness here, so I need to do my homework re brakes, and I will be a big step in the right direction. a 15K rebuild on the patrol and a 5K canopy didnt help though :(
  6. sure is 8mm abbott, all toyotas are the same, any exhaust shop will be able to help you out, better yet, take a stud or nut in and get it matched.
  7. on a side note, what sort of pressure should brake lines be tested to?
  8. anything jap will be fine is usually the rule, anything chinese i would be very suspicious of
  9. mmm maybe the 4k doesnt come with the stamping, every motor ive put back together has had them, never really paid attention on the 4k cause i never planned on putting one back together ;)
  10. the caps are stamped on the sides what rod they go with, maybe you should be checking this
  11. 7 shades, thats the sort of mutation i need, where can i get this from? is it available for a discount rate on ebay? please elaborate, i care. ps. i am a BANANA!
  12. ring Luke, at turboshop/motorfab 0416 817 4 one one. tell him andy sent ya, hes flat out at the moment but would prob be interested in doing it in a couple of months or something? the engineer we are using is Werner from TIC, 0418 551 3 three one. see if they can help you out if you still wanna look into the 4 link idea...
  13. your talking to the wrong people, i know of a 64 falcon getting a 4 link at the moment thats going to be street legal with a 1J. Have you consulted an engineer? cheers, andy
  14. how hard are you trying to turn it? did you plastigauge bearings? did you use assembly lube?
  15. when removing the wheel, undo the nut, but don't take it all the way off, leave it on there a good few threads, then you really have to pull on the wheel, wriggling from one side to the other top and bottom, and if its really stuck, hit it off with a dead blow hammer or a nice lump hammer. You leave the nut on so you don't break your face when it comes off at a million miles an hour
  16. start taking iron, your immune system will love you for it.
  17. yep,. and nothings happened. cheers for reminding me :down:
