And yeah, you cant just burn out the bushes because they're contained in a steel sleeve that needs removal too, which can be an utter prick of a thing to do if they've rusted in slightly.

Its not hard.

The most commonly suggested method of bush removal that i have seen is to burn them out.

If you need instruction there are like 10 vids on youtube of people doing it.

I've done an SW20, an aw11 and a nissan safari truck and had no problems at all with this method.

I don't recall the AW11 or SW20 having steel sleeves in the bushes- but if they did i would have knocked them out as I did with the trucks radius arms- with a punch after first cutting the sleeve with a hacksaw. It takes about 30 seconds of cutting to get through it.

I assumed (maybe wrongly) that the 86 would not have this type of bush?

for some reason all chicks who drive beetles seem to be hot. I say do it.

Nope- a bbq will not affect the temper of the steel

Its a wonderful feeling when you come back to your arms and all thats left is a pile of steel with no bushes and a bit of dust.

effortless !

ebay. NZ crowds seem to charge far too much.

I put a set into my MR2 and the difference was HUGE.

Do you have an old BBQ a-ling? they work great for burning out the old bushes- just sit the arm in the heat and let the rubber burn out by itself.

Alternatively you can squeeze most bushes out using a 3 jaw puller and some imagination... but this is tricky and hard work.

OR just take all arms to an engineer and get them pushed out using a press. Just warn them that if they bend any of your arms you'll get the asian mafia onto them.

Installing the new nolithane bushes is EASY as they are usually all in two halfs a bench vice makes some of them go in easier.

keep paint handy as the bbq will burn all the paint off.

I am unsure how adjusting pinion angle increases traction........................... you dont adjust antisquat by doing this.

beep beep beep boner alert, boner alert.

More info is needed for sure. Very very very cool.

Andy- there are quite a few 86's in the world with 2jzgte's. None like this tho that ive seen!

holy crap man, huge pulley.

so so so so so cool.

You should chat with that fulla on here in auck who was wanting to do fab work for cash- get him to make you up a stainless heat shield. I'd help you out if you were down here- dont have a 4age near me unfortunately.

This is the best thread on OS.

Man that two door looks nice! Such a shame you are pulling it to bits to get the van going!

Sweet project tho! I'd love to find one with a v8 in it*

*that requires no work and which i can afford.

this is such a gorgeous car. Looks good lowered but I like it equally as much at stock height with the hubcaps.

It must be hard finding one of these this straight!

Someone should start writing the DIY tutorial for fixing a 4age head gasket now.

I can ride a BMX around while sitting on the handlebars facing the back of the bike and peddling backwards. Does that count as a trick?

It may just need some gentle persuasion to un-stick the pump housing as you said they used liquid gasket.

Try levering it gently with a screwdriver

One of my favourite cars on OS.

I concur. Hope you get the issues sorted soon!

Sucks only own one car! can't go anywhere now.

this is because you keep either pulling them to pieces or selling them.

just incase you were wondering.

good point.

bahahahahhaa.

Hey man.

Love your car! It looks great and you are doing all the right things to make it better.

Your name is not jeremy is it? Seems like 99% of nz's starions are in chch. Its bloody strange!

Is a Monza going to be your next unfinished project?

P.S. This thread is useless without pics.

u cheeky bastard.

next car purchased will be a runner requiring nothing done!

I just searched and found your thread- didn't even know they came out as a wagon- thats very very cool!

Post a pic of yours! plz plz

really? what kinda things, more info would be great. The cars im interested are modified to a moderate degree- bigger diffs and bigger motors.

Oh cool.

I'm starting to like them more and more and now that i have them in mind i keep spying them all round the place.

One of them might possibly be on the cards in the future. Prices aren't that bad at all compared to other american classics and they are a far more unique option than a mustang or similar.

So what about the vega? Kinda like a miniature camaro/torana looking thing

You are right. I am ashamed of my actions and will endevour to be less of a cunt.

hey people was after some help about setting up an external oil cooler to my mx73 cressida

how hard is it? and whats bbest way about doing it

if some one has pictures from them doing it it would be much appreciated

oh, my bad. Just assumed that if he'd wanted something fake ass he'd have been smart enough to poke the hoses through his grill and ziptie on the radiator without asking the question.

unless he actually wanted to cool his oil? in which case nobody here has answered the question.

You would need to smack the cooler with a rock to hole it.

Over cooling would not be as much of an issue as everyone is making out. It will simply take load off the water cooling system. Thermostat will stay closed for longer etc.

Extra oil capacity is a good thing.

Or- he could run a thermostat as has already been suggested?

But hey, all i know is that next time someone asks about fitting disk brakes to XX vehicle im going to say " do you really want brake disks or do you just want it to look like you have brake disks.. because these are really good value "
