You been drinking???

My children's uncle in the USA owns his own garage in salt lake city, just thought id share a few photos of the cars he had in this year.

well she should get maternity pay, you can also claim working tax credits and when baby is here family tax credits. But check anyway as its wage dependant, word of warning about the tax credit system, if your wages change, let them know in writing and keep copies, if your circumstances change, let them know in writing and keep copies, if they think they have overpaid you due to you not telling them something they will want the cash back.

quite a few locations, we used a high pressure airline to not only pressurise the system, but also to help the flow, we did both pipes of the heater matrix, that cleared out loads of crap, we ran it through the rad, both rad hoses. then did it with a partially closed system, going in through the water pipe at the back of the engine. i have bottle of flush to go in on Saturday next week, then on Sunday we are going to give it another hose pipe flush and get everything out thats in it till the water runs clean Need to get another Temperature ECU sender though, still think its giving false readings as my after market gauge is about 10degrees lower than it when fully up to temp.

Walker? :lol::lol: Could be.....could be :whistling: lol

i agree, sorry bud, not too keen on any of them names so cant really say what one to go for. Charlie, just reminds me of the cat from that bloody old advert, or drugs. Olli, just reminds me of a old friend and hes a w..ker... and Tyler doesnt do anything for me.

bud ive got a spare starter motor and a gearbox already off the car, it really isn't that hard a job, ill get photos of where the starter motor goes and what it looks like if you really need it, but trust me, when your under the car, its on the drivers side of the gearbox, mounted by 2 bolts, with the thick positive cable from the battery connected at the rear by a 12mm bolt, and a wire coming off it that connects to a bit of the gearbox loom, you really cant go wrong.

one of two things there bud, either your flywheel has a bit that has worn teeth on it (like mine ill get a photo tomorrow) or the starter motor needs a good clean as its not engaging the drive gear. Easy way to check, next time it does it, with the engine off, and foot off the clutch, put it in gear so it moves the fly wheel around, then attempt it, if it still does the noise it could be the starter. they are easy to change anyway, unplug from the loom, undo the bolt at the back with the + from the battery on it and move the big thick wire out of the way. undo the the two bolts holding it to the gearbox and remove. its a little heavy so dont knock your self out lol oh and its a peice of pee on a zed, you can get to the starter with out moving anything, its bolted to the gearbox bell housing on the drivers side.

OOoooh i so wanna drive down that at night lol

yeah need to sort out that temp sender, looks like my after market gauge was actually reading correctly, when i thought it was reading too low and had a sticky needle.

thing is im still a bit wary at the moment, need to get my confidence back in it, haven't driven it above 50 yet, think ill do that after the next flush next weekend. But yeah, felt good to be able to drive it. Also been moaned at by Santa pod management to ring them up and get the club booked in for some meets at the pod, we will have the best security there as well lol

Well Santa pod flat bed arrived, always nice to at least have the zed on a truck with santa pod down the side rather than looking just like a recovery truck lol the santa pod dragster ideas crossed our mind of fitting this in it lol right anyway, got the car there, had some help from one of the guys in the Lotus F1 team who works on the gearboxes who popped along with some fancy equipment to accurately measure engine temperatures. the low down is, i managed to drive the car home with the temp reaching a scorching 85 degrees. we gave the engine a really thorougher flush and you wouldn't believe the amount of crap we managed to blast out of the heater matrix. refilled the system and started the engine, with some technical gadgetry we found out what was going on, the temp sender on the main top water pipe was reading the temp as 98 degrees, about the same time as i turn the engine off due to not wanting it to over heat. The temperature equipment was showing the engine at a poultry 58, which is not enough to open the thermostat, we decided to let it get hotter using the equipment to monitor the engine and pipe temperatures, soon as the engine got 73 degrees the thermostat opened and the radiator just emptied, it took another 3 liters of antifreeze :blink: i got hot air in the cabin and the temp on conzults rocketed from 109 to 84 degrees, we left it idling and kept topping up as necessary, another liter later and a good 45 mins, the car was stable on 84degrees, not only on consults but also on the temp equipment. at this point it was time for a test drive, so took it for a quick spin around the block, temp raised to 85 but no higher, still had hot air, got it back let it idle and it settled back down to 84. So looks like my problem is the temp sender on the front of the car not reading the temp correctly, making me and the ECU think the car was overheating when it wasn't, thus me shutting the system down before it had got to the correct temperature to open the thermostat thus not letting me bleed the system correctly. Next weekend we are going to re-flush the system again, and get all the crap out, refill with antifreeze, also need to change that sender unit on the top water pipe so its reading the correct value so i don't sit there panicking and turning the engine off when its not even up to temp to open the thermostat. And one for stellaz, we had some help with some rubber piping from our little friend, Jenna the ball mastiff.

R34 is the skyline id own, and it would have to be bayside blue But god do they keep there value.

happy birthday bud

Mrs's dads got hold of the lads at santa pod, so got a flat bed on the way to get the car up to his, going to strip the front of the engine and get a high pressure hose in it and give it a good effing flush out and go from there.

the parking spot its on raises slightly towards the front of the car, but i always bleed the system with the nose raised anyway.

holly valance bud, holly valance :lol:

ive changed the rad cap twice, second time was for a brand spankers one, rad filler next is clean as a whistle.

108" projector screen + this thread = win.

nice of wikipedia to point me to that as the first on the list of searches :blink:

my complete exhaust is hung by the down pipes and the brackets at the back where the bumper is, and it doesnt move for anything or sag. if its done up tight, it shouldn't move.

didn't you know, that if you want instant enlargement, get a woman with small hands :oops:
