N12 Turbo Forums

Thanks Baz, i've bought most of the things you mentioned. I'll probably fix the brakes and get the car registered, and then take off the gearbox, flywheel and clutch to look at the rear main.

about to start working on the ET again, it's been off the road since the new year and before i pump a bit of my first paycheck into getting it running sweet wanted to double check a few things. plan so far is to: -replace timing belt -replace timing belt tensioner (has rubber lumps from a previous b...

went to replace the exhaust manifold gasket the other day as it has been blown for months and finally pissed me off enough to do something about. the custom manifold was a right c*** to remove, and when it did come off, turned out the middle exhaust stud pulled out a previous owner's poor attempt to...

that sounds like the same problem i'm having at present with my exa - ultra low idle at 560rpm and a terrible squeal from the alternator belt when taking off. i've got a blown manifold gasket so maybe that is the reason?

finally got around to rebuilding the rear calipers, god they were filled with an almost unimaginable amount of crap! need a new master cylinder now, as the car is not safe to drive anymore... so many things to do, so little money given that rego had to be paid on the exa last night

I got quoted 200 to 250 to get my ET one re sleeved and rebuilt from brake pro in Parramatta

i was waiting for someone to pick up on that, it'l be a great way of upsetting people i meet and showing them my fully sick, unnecessary piece of metal in the boot.

series 1 tail lights were replaced with series 2 ones, as well as JDM front indicators front and rear strut braces were put in this afternoon as well http://imageshack.us/a/img191/9766/20130120161659.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img545/9229/20130118213107.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img837/74/201301221...

car got reregistered yesterday which was relieving, plus sorted out a few knocks coming from the intercooler piping and other things. got the little brother to paint the rocker cover and fit a new gasket yesterday as he's keen to learn about cars having just got his L's. turns out the ignition coil ...

made an impulsive decision to take the ET from sydney to melbourne after xmas lunch, and ended up going as far as lorne. clocked up over 2300k's in the space of two and a half days, and met up with a couple of mates off PGA that i had sold parts to from my old N13. only drama was when two bellhousin...

replaced the harmonic balancer on the exa, as the old one was visibly wobbling, and making a great squealing sound, but the new one still makes a slight squeal every now and then. the new one was in excellent condition, any idea as to what i can try looking at to fix this?

mate i have a garrett t25 which was sold to me as in good working order, although i haven't tested it as i have a t28 as a spare now. you are more than welcome to have it for $50, give me a call you got my number in your inbox

how difficult is getting a road worthy in the ACT? can you find a nice lenient mechanic to help out?

picked up a heap of parts from Dave (Spiff), including: -JDM indicators -series 2 taillights -series 2 seats in great condition -t28 turbo on a custom manifold (will likely use the manifold on the ET, as the Exa is externally gated and I don't want to have to rework parts of the exhaust as it means ...

yep i have the cash in my wallet ready to pay you
