Re: Oil Catch Can

I ran a cheapie for a while, i found if you fill the can and even the inlet\outlets with steel wool, the stuff thats full of holes and is quite thick and abrasive, is enough to catch the oil like a good one with baffles and screens, if you want to save a little cash on a cheap one?

Re: Crashed into.. dodgy details given.

That sucks D:

Re: What did you do to your car today?

Nice score, mate. Its always nice to have OEM parts, even if they just stay under the bench for the time being.

Yeah haha, worst case they will be perfect for keeping the car rolling while its off the road getting worked on, and its current wheels refreshed, and maybe chuck on for the odd car ...

Nothing here in Invercargill, bar a couple of rotten altezza's doing laps with reasonably unsavory people at the wheel

Dunedin has the odd Skyline Owners club meet, I tag along from time to time, and the Charity cruise too

Re: 4AGZE Power loss at high RPM

if the knock sensor hears something it doesn't like at the top end and pulls timing it would explain why it falls flat on its face there, My corona will do that from time to time, but that's cause its *actually* pinging and the sensor is doing its job, I just need to run 98 as intended and it is ...

Then disconnected the return pipe from the oil cooler and kept topping up the trans oil and running the engine until it ran clear - 14 Litres later of Toyota Type IV ...
