What work did you do on your car today?

[PHIL069]

Well done

Looks like a great bargain.

[Technikhaus]

it's a GS, so 1.8 4Cyl, 4 speed auto. 16X,XXX KMs on it.

[silverGPX]

Can u post how it sounds man always wondered!!

[Technikhaus]

What part do you want to hear? It has an exhaust leak, so the exhaust is lol-worthy, and engine sounds meh, haha. But I'll see what I can do.

[Technikhaus]

The awesome GS in all it's hektikness, with smoke and exhaust leaks to boot!

Big brake upgrade...

Too bad I never did this to the FTO..



So for those not in the know.. We have:-

GTO 4 pot brakes
Nissan 350z 324mm slotted rotors

And the rear:



So you can see how it bolts to the rear. With the help of a freaky parts bracket.

[Technikhaus]

Nice!
And that's just on the standard FTO hub?

OCD kicked in as I was cleaning the spare engine.

[Sahin]

What did you clean that with? that came out amazing

[Vectose]

Soda blasted it.

[Sahin]

Yeah thought so lol thats nuts. might do it to my spare lol

[Vectose]

25kg of Sodium Bicarbonate for $37.50 + a gun from SCA.

[Sahin]

Did you do the cams as well or not safe to do them? lol
and just take the tappets out? lol

[Daniel2019]

Rotated and balanced tyres at work the other day with the help of my hoist (lol @ you plebs using trolley jacks! ) Put Dunlop SP Sports on the front and cheap chinese sh*t ones on the rear (one was also buckled so better on the back)

Now my steering is off centre though

Cleaned up inside my wheel arches, cleaned shocks and springs to get rid of brake dust and dirt and crap.

Put new wheel nuts on so no more 19mm, 21mm and lock nut rubbish on each wheel

Also washed it.

Bought oil temp guage, EBC red front pads and some tyres - Pair: 205/40R17 Federal 595 SSs and pair of sh*tty ones in same size.

The head is completely disassembled, took the rocker arms, valves etc. out.

Cams should be safe as long as you mask the lobes. The soda does dull polished surfaces.

Looks great Vectose

I was tempted to buy that setup when I seen it on last weeks SCA email.

[Vectose]

Cheers Phil.

My gun is a gravity feed sandblasting gun I bought a while ago. Bought the 25kg Sodium Bicarbonate from a pool supply store.

There's a 4kg bucket for $70 at SCA.
