  1. I used a kit from Autolign when I had factory struts, very similar looking to the generic image here http://www.autolign.co.nz/catalogue/alignment-parts/camber-adjusting-bolts with a cam mid shaft

    Unlike the previous posted picture that appears to have a zinc finish the appearance is sort of of a sandblasted grey, I was told they are hardened, or that may have been written on the box

    Bit of a pain to install but no issues and could achieve at least -1deg on factory GC rear

    Might still have them around since I went to adjusties, haven't seen them for awhile though

  2. whats that Mike? personally i have no idea what differentiates 'forged' from 'semi-forged' or even if its a real thing. i just know cast ≠ forged

    care to link the sales brochure?

    the cross hatch pattern is produced from the sand casting process... it indicates a cast part. youtube has some great production videos

  3. I would recommend jacking the car up and using axle stands on the rear of the car. If you raise the car from the front the gearbox oil can drain through the hole left by removing the reverse switch. If you clean instead of replacing it as suggested above, it would be a good idea to test it is working electrically before refitting.

    Rossub's diagram doesn't look like a 5MT box, if your car is a GC8 the switches are on the left hand side of the transfer section of the gearbox

  7. In lieu of a new Technical board structure being implemented soon, here are the workings for the new FAQ posts to replace all technical stickies, and hopefully most of your searches.

    This is a temporary post because it isn't helping anyone locked away while I'm too busy to finish it.

    Please post additional useful links as a new post for a Mod to add to the list.

    Mods, I've tried to categorise things logically and keep double-ups to a minimum. PM me any questions.

    Cheers,

  8. Haha I've never tried to ruffle anyone's feathers for fun. Can't dispute anything said these days without being called a troll eh.

    I'm talking about visible component damage. Its LIKELY you would see that. Its UNLIKELY a resistor has permanently drifted with no visible damage, and that putting it in the fridge would temporarily fix it for enough time to see it working.

    Lets have a look at the board (pinched from another forum)

    6d79f69b.jpg

    f8269642.jpg

    667b34ab.jpg

    Solder joints do fail. As I mentioned, chilling might temporarily help in this case and this is usually achieved with a chill spray

    -> The display is lit and otherwise working. So the heater circuit OK, and the filter caps are likely OK.

    -> Some segments are unlit. It is plausible to expect an open circuit from a bad solder joint, as opposed to a damaged (low) current limiting resistor

    I'm sorry if you replaced a bunch of parts without success. Maybe the vacuum tube can become damaged internally?

    I want to argue as well but I don't like to think of myself as a keyboard warrior. No I never said it would fix, it would allow the resistor or cap to work for a short amount of time before it was restored to normal ambient temperature where it would start to fail again. Not all 'buggered' resistors are 'burnt' out, they do slowly begin to fail, losing there intended rating.

    I don't mind an argument.

    In my experience resistors generally fail due to prolonged heat damage which is easily visible. But correct, I've seen resistors in HV situations degrade or go open circuit with no visible damage. I'm just not expecting that possibility in a clock display circuit.

    Caps are a different story altogether

    Any details on the parts that failed on your board? Pics?

  10. i want to argue that chilling resistors and caps isn't going to magically fix a fault in this case. chilling a hairline crack in a solder joint might restore a connection due to thermal expansion but thats about it

    if your resistors are 'buggered' you'd know about it, as they would be burnt out. failed caps would also be an unlikely cause of a display dropping some segments

  11. lol yes Jared that's a last resort trick used for surface mount and BGA reflow when you don't have the right gear and don't ever want to use your oven again to cook.. don't bother

    if you don't care about it, have a go with the soldering iron but chances are low if you're new to electronic repair. if you do care, find someone competent to have a look :)

    or spend the soldering iron money at pickapart? edit- oh BP5 :/

    I'll just add one thing... to loosen the hub nut, I just remove the center cap from the wheel and loosen it before taking the wheel

    off or raising the car... that way the wheel stays still without messing around with the brake pedal or getting someone to help.

    valid point but this only works if the nut isn't seized like all of mine have been.. sometimes they can be %^%#ing stuck
