lew777 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Where was it leaking from ollie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mine was the flange that sat on the turbo, the flange was warped or something and didn't sit flush so pissed out everywhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Forgive me for asking but did it have both copper washes on the banjo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It wasnt the banjo bolt that was leaking, there was copper washers on it but it was the pressed fitiing to braided hose that was leaking through, just not a tight enough seal on it.As said on FB glad you got home ok and hope you get it all sorted soonGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry i didn't some over and say hi, didn't want to disturb you. Glad you made it home safe!Nah I wouldn't have minded if you came over at all. I didn't realise you were "you" until I saw your FB pics earlier today It was you that was asking for Steve at the services right?glad it was spotted before you went on track then, still annoying though glad you made it home all safe. damm thats a shame knew you wanted a blast on track so badlystrange about the oil feed though Race-tech ones are normally top notch mines always been fineHmm I'm gonna speak to Ricky about buying a new one and see what he says about warranty etc, switched the old OEM one back on today so not crucial at the momentJust about to book track sessions for JF2, I'm not giving up on this brat just yet! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 bad times mate! but as you said it was a blessing in disguise! also i hope your going back to the arseholes who fitted your rear suspension! that could have been nasty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah I was pretty lucky man!To be honest I don't want them anywhere NEAR my car ever again! They also bodged something as simple as changing speedo bulbs; the speedo cable popped out when my uncle went for VIC with the car! It goes to show why I've always been reluctant to let anyone work on or drive my cars but myself lol*Bit of news*- Ricky has offered to repair the Oil Feed, so its a good job I didn't throw it out lol- I have pulled out of the Dyno Day meet because I've booked two track sessions for Japfest 2! (11:48, 14:18)Which means I need/want to buy:- a new clutch (one which will eventually handle a TD04 reliably)- Better brakes, I've fitted some used YellowStuffs but I should be buying some grooved 3G discs and another set of YellowStuffs to tide me over until I can afford a GT4 brake conversion- A set of PI springs to get rid of the comedy suspension setup and give a modest gain in handling- Perhaps a rear strut brace/RARB should I have any money left! Or I can just borrow the NA kit for the day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Tbh mate it may have been a good thing you didnt track it then, at least you are looking forward to the next track day and making it right for then Gonna be awsome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
