Hi @davidf and any others interested, Happy New Year! I have been having some of the same issues with my GDU which was fully rebuilt before I drove my car for the first time in ager early last year. ...

@rojid There is definitely no need to buy a spare compressor unit. As others have also said I have never had any trouble, and I haven't heard of anyone else doing that either. The normal issue that ...

G'day Dan, I recently replaced my 1500cc Long Stroke engine with a brand new unit from the factory. While I was refitting the headers I noted that there was some areas where they were close to other...

@rojid - I’ve done it both ways, and checked ball/hitch weight…. but now always load ‘front first’ … It probably depends a bit on whether you carry anything else on/in your trailer and where that is l...

@raider89 … G’day Dan, I’m not sure if our cars are different, or if I’m missing something from your posts….. on my car the two countersunk head socket cap screws that are in the middle wear strip go...

Posted by: @charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com These improvements look fantastic. I wonder if the new cast uprights have replaceable bearings? … and hoping they can be ‘bolted in’ to RSX’s as w...

@davidf …thanks David. It’s obvious we were on similar paths. Have you tried tilting your main trailer bed by jacking the front up vertically off the tow hitch? (While you have the trailer brakes on)...

@rojid … that’s definitely a BIG part of the answer…. I was worried you had missed that point when reading your initial reply above. I purchased one of these that bolted directly onto the trailers A-f...

G'day Rojid, I agree with almost everything that David outlined in his post above. It seems like he and I have been on parallel approaches - albeit that I went through this about two years ago. I'll...

@raider89 .... I can confirm that the top sealing washer (oil return fitting from the cooler) can be reused many times - probably for the life of the GDU between rebuilds. Because it's on the top of ...

G’day DIY’ers I've just installed a new RPE 1500 engine and completed my first event. Car ran faultlessly and I managed to Qualify in P1 then 4 wins from 5 sprint races. All up the engine probably did...

@teamlorenz … G’day Chris. I only saw your latest DM this morning. I’ve paid as via PayPal per my previous DM ($507 including the tow hooks and freight to Australia). Let me know if there’s a problem....

@rlm-dan - G’day Dan, A quick update on the water thermostat and how it works with the direct immersion heater. Today I added the new oil and coolant after finishing installing the new engine. After ...

Hi Chris, If still available I would like to take the following; - The 2 New Wheel Nuts - The New Air Lance Wand - The 9 New Upright Bolts - The 4 New Wheel Tow Rings My Address is as below; Rod B...

Interesting!... "Alfie" was having a crack. Noticed that the 'Temp' dropped through the session (the lower one on the video overlay). I suspect that is Oil Temp. Much lower than I normally like to r...
