    getrag tailshaft on solid rear vs

    The change in length should come from the CV joint behind the center bearing. They can plunge in and out about 20mm

    Listening to Ross Lyons interview on SEN, he credited Richmond's pressure and defensive structure, and he also said last weeks Adelaide game had no effect on them

    Stuffed driveshaft center bearing.

    Anything up to VS were easy, but the VX is pretty tough to fix at home. You need to grab the shaft by the tripod yokes at each end and pull it apart with brute force. I've done them with a 15Tonne 2 Way Hydraulic press bench and some come apart easy, but others take a bit of persuasion. If you...

    Is this racist or is this another case of people being retards?

    That's not even a vaguely similar situation. Human Beings are all the same species, we evolved on this earth and share a very recent common ancestor. Since the earliest origins Homo Sapiens have migrated to any new areas where we can carve out a Niche to better our survival. Who's to say that...

    JC Political Thread - For all things political Part 2

    It will take quite some time before they can stand on their own two feet. There is some incredible wealth in Indonesia, but many millions of people living in extreme poverty too. One of my first memories of Jakarta was looking at a bunch of people sleeping on sheets of cardboard beside a railway...

    I'm in Indonesia at the moment and my passport is 1000ks away from me whilst I've got a KITTAS application pending.... Very very nervous times for a lot of people up here. Luckily I got my entrance visa approved over a month ago... I've heard from a few expats that they've stopped approving...

    VE Useable engine life...about 550k.

    The limo driver I use told me he knows guys who have got 6-700k from the VE's and they're still going when they update. But others have run into problems earlier. Just because yours was dead at 550k doesn't mean that's how long to expect for every car and engine. What where the unrepairable...

    Help opinions needed!!

    I want to remove my strips but I'm not sure how to get them off without ruining the paint work, and I'm not keen to try in case it all turns to Shyte and looks terrible. If you manage to remove them cleanly let me know how you do it!

    The Beer Thread.

    Just moved to Indonesia so my choice of beer now is usually between Bintang and Anker. Bintang is fairly terrible but Anker is not too bad. I lashed out and spent 45 Aussie dollars on a case of Heineken the other week just so I could have something decent. It tasted suspiciously like Bintang...

    Death Trap Vehicles banned in Aussie.. sold in NZ

    In the past decades the road toll has definitely dropped as cars have become safer and the roads better (and cars more powerful!). There's no question that all this technology makes the roads safer, but I think if these cheapie Chinese cars allows a someone to have an affordable upgrade from...

    First Time Buying From Holden Dealer

    If I were you I'd decide on a budget and work out finance/loans before even looking at any car. Otherwise you're half a chance to get emotionally attached to a car and sign up for whatever horrid finance deal the dealer's getting paid commission to flog off to people

    You might see one advertised for $5k but that doesn't mean it will actually sell for that much.

    wheres the mark 'chopper' read death thread aussies??

    You've been listening to too many of choppers stories. He was a standover man and regular citizens that crossed his path were scared too sh1tless of him to go to the police. He may have bashed and killed drug dealers and criminals in his time, but he did it for his own personal gain. They way...

    Muir is still MEAP, just the Victorian branch of the party seems to have fallen in a heap and doesn't exist anymore except for the senator elec. I've heard they'll be replaced and the party will kick on. Seems like a good move from Muir, he's definitley getting value for his vote by doing...

    wheres the mark 'chopper' read death thread aussies??

    I think he was a great story teller, and Aussies have a fascination with that type of anti authority figure which is why every kid can tell you who Ned Kelly was but few have heard of Edmund Barton. My perception of peoples reaction to his death is that people identify with the character of...

    VT V6 Supercharged Mystery Overheating Problem

    Is there any sign of oil in the coolant? There's a chance you're intake manifold (LIM) gaskets are gone and that tends to make you're coolant disappear. It's a common issue especially with supercharged models because they generate more heat and the plastic gaskets degrade over time. Most guys...

    I feel for politicians when it comes to this type of scrutiny. When you travel for work, expenses are a very very grey area and sometimes it's hard to draw a line between work and personal expenses when you're on a work trip. If I'm with customers or colleagues and away from home I feel like I...

    is this the right price?

    Seems a good price, but it's an 8 year old car so it's not ridiculously cheap. Cars are hard to sell right now so maybe the owner want it gone now rather than stuffing around with buyers for 3 months for an extra grand or two

    [VIC] P Plate V8 Exemption, Ways to go about it? How did you achive yours?

    In Victoria there are certain banned cars that can be driven with an exemption. I don't think VE V8's are allowed at all. To be honest it sounds like you started this thread to brag about driving a V8 rather than actually get good advice on the legalities of it. Vicroads website would be your...

    VT V6 Supercharged Mystery Overheating Problem

    Might sound stupid but was it bled properly? I've come across mechanics that didn't know there were three bleed valves or what the correct order was. It wouldn't hurt to top up the coolant then bleed it yourself properly just so you know it's done right

    I can't believe the opposition to Obamacare. The health reform sounds like just a very basic version of what the rest of the developed world already has and the Republicans are going on like it's some communist conspiracy. On the debt ceiling, the situation now will probably cause a rethink in...

    Vibration in the tail shaft

    Shouldn't need to be balanced unless the uni joint is changed. Just put the two halves back together they way they were so the original balance weights are in the right spot and it should be fine.

    Spark plugs.

    Why would you set the gap at 1.3mm?

    Vibration in the tail shaft

    I would pull out the tailshaft and inspect the rubber couplings at either end, the centre bearing, and the spline behind the centre bearing for any wear or damage. The centre bearing and rubber couplings are easy to replace

    Bikie gangs - outlaws or misunderstood ?

    The Bikie laws are targeting outlaw motorcycle gangs which engage in organised crime. They have nothing to do with clubs and gatherings of enthusiasts who just meet up to ride bikes. Don't confuse the two. I don't think it's the peaceful enthusiasts who are involved in the shootings in...

    I think in a year or two Jeremy Cameron will go past Franklin in ability so It could have been a difficult situation to have Buddy on $2M and his team mates on a fraction of that. Long term they're better off without him but short term he would be more than handy. Mumford to GWS is a good...

    Caught Speeding, Whats Going To Happen Now?

    I got pulled over for tailgating a few months ago. I think it was a mistake because I wasn't even driving on the road that he claims he saw me, and he said he lost me in traffic for about a minute but he just kept driving around the estate hoping to catch up with the bloke he saw :( Anyway, he...

    Crap game, typical Freo/Ross Lyon footy. Fairly close and low scoring, Scrappy with poor skill level and no ball movement, and hard to pick a handful of players who played well on the day. The prelim final against Geelong was the grand final we deserved with the novel concept of both teams...

    I think it will take a good 6-12 months minimum to see if Abbots measures are effective. Personally I'm a bit unsure exactly how it will work in practice: how much collaboration there will be with Indonesian authorities, how the intercepted boats will be treated, and what exactly will happen to...

    Great to see Ablett win his second Brownlow. Polling so many votes in a lower placed team is an insane effort. As always, it's a shame to see key position players not polling. 13 votes for Roughead is a joke, but I don't think anyone expected anything different.

    You are a ######## Jack was playing injured. He played on one leg against GWS and missed the following week Look up his score assists and F50 pressure acts and try your best to get half a clue about the game before commenting

    It's amazing that you can have the 3rd best defence, but not one defender is considered in the best 8 defenders in the comp. I think the problem is they pick attacking defenders, so guys like Steve Morris who take the best small forwards every week and concede 0.8 goals per week get ignored...

    Thanks mate. Tipping 19/22 on Richmond games helped my cause. Watching 14 games live and re-watching online, gives you a pretty good idea when they should win :) I'm in Jakarta at the moment and the Tigers aren't getting a mention in the media at all. No mention of finals, or the AA squad...

    The things I don't like about the VF...

    If you watch Clarkson review $200k+ cars on top gear he'll pick out little trivial things that aren't to his liking. Looking at your list it must be a pretty decent car if we're down to the feel of the gear knob and what the stereo does when the car stalls
