And Skip to the end... work log FAIL as I ended up doing whole car in 4 days and forgot to take pictures along the way but I'm pleased with the result. Plus rego'ed for another year and first new set of tires in about 6 years!! 40 years here we come!! Old girl looks pretty tough and surface is also ...

In the spirit of having fun and evolving me daily driver it's been 4/5 years since I sprayed my car on my driveway... so it's time for a change. This time internet told me to bed-liner/armour/linex/rhino line specifically for this job its Dupli Colour Aerosol Bed Armour. https://drive.google.com/uc?...

HI Guys, Having trouble tracking down a rear oil seal for my narrow Jap 5 speed. Just want to make sure I get right seal Kelpro have no listing and the closest I can see is P/N 97102 but this is listed for GH up and I think they went Borg Warner?.?.. On ebay there is another oil seal listed P/N 4007...

Greets All, That moment of relief when Rego is out of way for another year plus this is probably the best my car will look all year... so time for a quick snap shot! http://users.tpg.com.au/djsadsl/REGO%2015-1.jpg http://users.tpg.com.au/djsadsl/REGO%2015-2.jpg Will try and get some more arty shots ...

Up for Cruise Mid July 11/12 or 18/19 weekends was going to suggest Penrith Panthers as their is a Harrys Cafe their now for evening cruise or still keen on Putty road/Wollemi tavern if its a day trip we are after.

Try a specialist Nut and Bolt place... I used Bolt Master in Penrith, NSW but they have branches elsewhere I think or just Google or Yellow for your local. Take example bolt with you and they should be able to match thread plus strength, head was a little larger as I remember but if you use/replace ...

+1 for the unicoils been using them for my heater hose on the sigma for two years without problem... Even carry an extra unicoil with a length of hose just in case something blows.

My GE Sigma has developed a large amount of slack on the drivers side wiper arm and no longer really clears the windscreen enough. I have traced the problem to the connecting rods under the dash but Gregory manual has no info on fixing. I have got my arm up in there but am unable to feel a solution,...

Just for further reading this site links with thread http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html
Has some good calculators for rolling radius etc and tyre fitments.

Good Night out, plenty of cool stuff to see and automotive idiocy to keep us entertained. Highlights where a stock straight Galant which was in near mint condition bumpers and dash... Merv setting off car alarm with an enthusiastic exhaust note... Rx22nv's weapon Yellow Galant shame no room to lay-d...

I'll be along wanna check this out, any particular spot good to head for once inside?
Dave

Will be coming down from work which is in Katoomba, so probably won't make Penrith before you leave for Kurnell... I'll try and catch you on route. Watch out for the fly by on the M4...

I say lets slap a date on it for Sunday 30 March. Had a thought it might be funny if we all descended on Northern Road Wreckers as a meet point and checkout whats there maybe pick-up some parts... but not sure if they are open Sunday anymore. https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Northern+Auto+Wrecke...

End of march sounds good April is always a bit of a grid in retail. location Penrith is great but then again never been to Harry's Liverpool.

Dave

Interested... Was thinking about putting up a Western Sydney Meet possibly at the Harry's Cafe de 'wheels outside Penrith Panthers but this would just be maybe a quick night meet, as I never see any SG's in the area anymore. Would like to see the something like the Parramatta Park from way back happ...

I had multiple attempts at completing a auto (borg warner 35) to a manual Jap box... The tail shaft length is fine its the number of splines in the yoke you have got to watch out for, had to swap yoke out and get new universal joint to get it to mate up. From memory it was only the difference betwee...

I can actually say this works... old guy who owned the car before me would poor fish oil into the doors to prevent rust! Even after 7 years of me owning the car there are still traces of it there toady but no rust... a bit gross when you have to work on door interiors.

Not owning a mobile phone (I will resist as long as humanly possible) is probably the reason I have such a large tool kit... Always been a bit of a self sufficiency kinda guy plus don't like it when other people touch my car! Last towie that picked me up when I smashed it said "Do you want me t...

Hi All, I have come to the realisation that I carry to many tools around in the boot of my car... lets face it am I really going to need a torque wrench on the side of the road... no. Plus with fuel prices on the rise hauling around an the extra 30kg (it's a big bag) is probably not advisable from a...

Yep in the mountains all be it a little lower than you at Warrimoo... Hope to be working up your way soon when they finally open the BigW. As for the speedo haven't stumped up the cash for one yet as I have only just re-registered my old girl and that depleted the coffers quite a bit. I just have to...

A bit of an off wall suggestion is a GPS Speedo... Due to inaccuracies in my speedo created by wheel and gearbox changes came across this: http://www.speedhut.com/ This seemed to be best option for stock look which is basically new technology behind a traditional dial speedo. It's also independent o...

Great info guys... my block doesn't have o rings, although I was told it did when I purchased it...the higher compression ratio's work well with my straight LPG set-up thanks to the higher octane levels and I actually find using a "Hiclone" to induce swirl in the intake manifold helps. The...

Got a couple of quotes back and it's looking like the guys at Ridgecrest gonna get the business with a very affordable figure for a 1mm thick gasket, plus the recommendation from Cheater sold it!! Further investigation has relieved a standard head gasket is 0.8mm so 1mm should be perfect in the shor...

Just looking for insane reliability... engine came out of a rally lancer so higher compression ratio (how high not sure) also on straight LPG, so a little drier in the combustion chamber. Want to have a go at supercharging in the future, so just getting some ground work done in advance.

David

Hi all,

Looking to invest in a copper head gasket... engine is a 4G52 2.0ltr, Question is what thickness... forum search reveals 1.5mm to 2mm. Recommendations...

Thanks, David

Random technical brainstorm... use water cooled by the refrigerating effect by the LPG vaporizer in my fuel system as a air cooler in the car via some kind of radiator fan set up... possible? Background is installed a straight Gas Research LPG system in my car a few years ago which required the remo...

Had a set of Yokohama 352s on my GE sigma for a while 205/60/14 on the front but they rubbed pretty bad on full lock on the back had 215/65/14 with no problems on a 6" rim. Yokos are no longer available but they where probably the best tire I have owned. I have scrounged some 15" stockies ...

Great to see another garage find to strengthen the GE ranks in NSW... Look out for those faded rear indicators my GE failed rego because of them, a couple of options on the cheap are orange globes or dismantle them and spray them with lens paint. SE models never had left hand mirrors you have get on...

What this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1AxO6Bt-kk

Looks awesome... really annoyed that I missed this one great to see the GE/GH Sigmas out would have loved to have added mine to the mix, gotta get mine back on road.
