Help needed for a member on hard times.

[Bloodyaussie]

This has not come easy and have spoken back and forward to others about this but I know no other way?

We have a member and many will know who I am talking about who has had a run of shit luck and has made a few poor decisions that has lead to where he is now in respect to his car.

He has had serious lung cancer and is not able to do what he wants for work to provide as insurance will not touch him for 5 years.... he has a positive up beat attitude but I can tell it is really starting to weigh him down and now with another baby on the way and his wife soon not being able to work the budget will get tighter and with it the pressures on him.

He made some bad decisions with the purchase of his new car and it has turned into a money pit with so many things wrong with it.... the latest being the clutch.

Now this member and his family enjoy nothing more than getting out there and enjoying the bush and 4wding and is one real escape for them I feel I must help where I can.

The members I have spoken to are pissed at the situation and were more than willing to chuck in some coin to help get his rig back on the road.

Now I am not sure 100% what is needed at this point but thought if we could throw around the hat to help out and get them mobile again... not asking to put food in the mouths but to help with there car.

I myself will chuck in $50 as will another member (up to them if they say who they are)...

Also a suggestion by AB was maybe a workshop day to help in that way?? I know we have a few smart mechanics on here that would be willing to help.

Ab even offered his house to party at!!!!!!

Now I dont know if many of you are willing and it is not like this happens everyday but I feel this is right!!!!

I can set it up so I use my paypal or something .. not sure??

I'm not rich but I know I have it good and I cant sit back and do nothing,every little bit helps.

Payment via Paypal with User name as your reference to : jpgpz at bigpond . com

I'd be more than happy to throw in as much as I can spare at the end of the pay fortnight. Gotta help a fellow 4wder, and patroller none the less.

Look into it.... still need to work out all that is needed to get the car going again??

Be happy to chip in with a few bucks, be best if I stayed off the tools, would go smoother that way.

[Clunk]

Workout what's needed and I'll chip in once I can

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[lorrieandjas]

Hey BA - my work (as in I :)) am in for $500.00. I think I know who you are referring to but PM me mate and I can arrange the payment collection straight into yours/his account..... I'm kinda lucky that I have some coin to spare and have been helped out by so many in my life I would love nothing better than to give some back.

Or maybe let me know what needs doing, arrange the mechanic and I'll fix it up.... within reason of course but let me know.

Jas

[Stropp]

Mate I got an idea who it is I am happy to chuck in as well, just let me know and it will be done as soon as I get bank details, we all need a helping hand from time to time and I am sure to lend a hand where I can even tho it is only monetary help I am sure you will put it to good use.

[Yendor]

I will also kick in some coin to help out.

[Cbates]

Yea I'm in too, time and money. My skills are not great but I'm more than happy to pitch in some labor wherever I can! I'm not sure who it is either but I know if we can help him out and that gives him some joy and peace then I'm all in!

[BigRAWesty]

X12.. send us your PayPal and ill put threw some cash.

And I big hand for Jas and everyone. That's tops mate.

Well I woke up this morning unable to find the thread but when I did wow you guys are such beautiful people (I mean that in a non touchy bottom way).

I will get my wife to handle this as she is an accountant and of very high morals that she will make sure this is done right..

I think paypal would be the easiest but not suited to all... would putting my email address on this thread would be a bad idea?? a lot of PM's otherwise??

[MC97GQ]

BA,

Mate if you decide to use your email address make sure you have something like bloodyaussie at isp.com.au

It should stop you getting spammed, otherwise just put up with the PM's and then give those who are interested your email address.

Mate also when you get it sorted count me in to help with some coin, not sure how much I can do at the moment as things are a little tight, but happy to help out when I can.

Good luck with it all

Thanks mate... I dont know how to do the isp thingy??

Every little bit counts even $5 helps...... thanks!!!

[MC97GQ]

BA,

What I mean is, if your email address is bloodyaussie@bigpond.com.au write it like this

bloodyaussie at bigpond.com.au (bigpond being your internet service provider-ISP).

See how the second example isn't a clickable link, should stop the spammers

Hopefully that makes more sense.

Once again a testament to such a good forum and great bunch of ppl. You know I am in for some $$$ and will be more than will to help out mechanically

[Bloodyaussie]

WOW......... I have now been offered a workshop and the mechanic to install the clutch for free if the clutch is available by Easter Saturday...... the member wants remain anonymous and says this is his way of helping out.

Now if we can get this side of it done then the other things can be done on a separate workshop day, having a workshop to do the clutch would be a massive help as it is a mongrel to do while on the ground as many of you know!!!

I also need members to please leave there username when donating as I have no idea who John Smith is???????

I can vouch for Clutch industries, had a drama with a clutch for a vy ss ute they sent 2 faulty ones out the third i went to their warehouse and they gave me a a flywheel thats worth over 1g for nothing ( fault being the flywheel was drilled wrong) and they even gave me a poster and a footy haha best customer service i have come across in a long time !!!

I'll speak to him about cutting a winch mount to suit for "the cause"

Looks like the standard Nissan bar. My mate has a winch on his and has used it many times without a drama.

[NP99]

Does this help27269

Where would the mounting points be?

[Stropp]

yes thats the nissan winch bar made by arb, mounts to the plate in the pic with the two holes in it the other two holes are not in the pic but mine has four holes, maybe down the bottom covered by the metal in front

[Bloodyaussie]

Ok I know of issue with this bar and will arrange to have it looked at but for now.... I finally stuck my big fat bottom inside the car and I must say the transfer box is stuffed (I though these were unbreakable)

As I have had a few beers did not want to go for a drive but seem to select all gear no problem but the clutch is rooted, no doubt about it... now I am hoping as with mine that the problems with the gear box are just clutch related??

Now can anyone tell me for sure whether the transfer box is the same as GQ????? as there is one available ..

Next issue is the rear LSD... 4.3.......

I really hope the gearbox is ok as this is a major problem... I will know more later as George will pop round tonight and go for a drive..

Hey guys - since I've seen the responses on here over the last day or so kinda felt guilty I haven't chipped in more - so happy to say I will throw in $1k to the cause. Now - before I get hit with the saint thing again - I'll be perfectly honest and let you know I'm writing half off it off on tax thanks to the ATO and the charitable donation thing! This kinda thing is better than EBAY and makes you feel a whole lot better too!

Jas

[lorrieandjas]

Actually - since BA's missus is a bean counter I'll match all donations up to $2k dollar for dollar until Friday 5pm. Soooooo BA - let me know how much I'm up for by then and I'll send it over. Hopefully if this mob get it together I'll be out of pocket $2k! And - for the forum member who is going through this tough time - mate - I hope it gets better and gets sorted. This forum is behind you mate and hopefully this helps a tough situation better!

I think you need legal documents from a solicitor i know when we did a fundraiser for my mrs dad when he had his accident we collected a lot of doh but for everyone that was donating we had to get something written up, one of the prizes was worth 10k. But i'm not entirely sure how it all worked coz i didn't organize it but i'll see if the mrs knows anything about it in the morning.

Mate you are seriously a top bloke and i'm sure the respect for you is growing across the forum!! Hats off to you, BA and every one donating!!!!

[Alitis007]

A. I'll get some coin through tomorrow - wife has a PayPal account, so that should do it
B. Not 'unhandy' on the mechanical side, and Matty is a mechanic, so we'll try to organise to come down - just for the work of course ... ahem ..
C. Definitely put up a list of needed parts as I have a fair few spares here collected from previous workshop days

Hey mate - all good - as a couple of people know on here I have a couple of tame lawyers on the books! Not blowing smoke up my own you know what - but to be honest - even if I can't write it off - all good here. Not made of money - but do have enough in the business to cover it - and like I've said before - hopefully if I am in ever a situation of need then I would like to think it would come back. Mate - I'm just a normal bloke like everyone on here - but when I see a story posted like BA's - well you just gotta muck in and help out yeah? :) Thanks for the comments mate! Appreciate it but just want people to know I am doing this for a good cause - not for the kudos!

I didn't get stuck into it that far but for the time being what BA and i saw we need as a definite is a clutch ( a forum member is pulling strings for the parts) a LSD ( either rebuild kit or GOOD second hand) and most likely the hydraulic side of the clutch ie master and slave. The next chance i get i'll go have a better look with BA to make a final list!!!

[Alitis007]

Yeh that sounds right, spot on mate!!

[nissannewby]

Ok so Scotty and I will need dates then we can organize our end and all good.

If in fact it is a h260 rear which would make sense being a manual 3.0, then I have a centre that came out of the girls ute when they put a locker in so have parts here.

I would also like to know the cost of the clutch if the member chasing this up could let me know please, as George knows I can get some alright prices.

Jas if you can remember how I had them you can mix me rums while in there.

Also if there are any tooling requirements just sing out and I'll see if I have anything

Cheers.

[Alitis007]

Ok so thats the Diff, your a Champ Matt!

[nissannewby]

I will investigate exactly what parts I have when I get home. Others may know more but when the air lockers go in everything is changed bar the pinion

Umm - 1 part bottle - no part coke? :) You last left here at 2am so I *think* I remember - or do I! :)

Jas

[Alitis007]

We can salvage the crown wheel off the original center, my main concern is the clutch pack and adjust the back lash coz i don't have a dial indicator. When we drove it before i couldn't hear any over run from the teeth so thats a good sign!!

But i'll continue tomorrow coz its 1.30am here and i need to get up in 4hrs ffs lol

Well this thread went Nuts!! Nice one guys! Jas your a legend! Newby and Scottie great effort guys! George, Well George! you do good mate!

Is the clutch going to get done on the hoist by the mechanic who volunteered? certainly the safest way by far! Very bloody heavy!

Sounds like this is going to be huge! If its not a H260 then i have a Very good LSD here that i took out of a diff on the weekend but it is wrapped in a 3.9 centre. your welcome to it. happy to strip it out but dont have the skills to rebuild it into the new diff. If it fits its yours!

Given the state of the car, is there value or consideration in doing a front end overhaul? Swivel Hub and king pin rebuild? I have done a few and would be happy to get very dirty doing that. If the kit is there i would be happy to do a side (sound like there will be a heap of blokes)

Nice one BA, great effort mate. I will try and make a deposit in the coming days to.

Recently Purchased 2001 ZD30 that basically blewup on the way home from buying it privately. Owned since before Christmas and unfortunately the family has not had a single holiday in it since. It has been one thing after another and each time more money out of pocket. Very disappointing for the member. Its a Train Wreck car.

When the boys have finished with it though it may well be a good thing with years left in it.

The Clutch kit, I can get a 4Terrain kit with Solid flywheel for $875+ GST, my cost price. If anyone can get it cheaper or the equivalent or better, for a better price please let BA know ASAP. I need to order this and BA can even pick it up direct as Clutch Industries are only around the corner from him.
I hope someone is bringing the video camera along on the 6th so this event can be filmed. Truly an epic event and hats off to BA for his efforts. Plus as far as I know half the NADs are done. Dawes and EGR plate are fitted.

Well done every one it's awesome how much of ya's have gotten behind this cause couldn't be happening to more deserving ppl.

C'mon to those that are sitting on the edge jump off and take the lunge even if it is $5, I am sure you have some change sitting in your ashtray in the car, it's almost the cut off of 5pm today.

How are you feeling today BA, hope all is good and it is nothing too serious.

[Bloodyaussie]

Cheers Kev..... yes even $5 via paypal takes 2 min of your time!!!

Any vendors want to help by throwing a bit of stuff this way...or at a very discounted price....:)..... I know!!!!!

[Alitis007]

Threedogs is throwing in Front and rear recovery points so come on guys get behind it!!

[Bloodyaussie]

Just spoke to Tigerz11.... will see?????

[fracster]

Listen up mate. If this is making you Ill, then spread the load fella.

I`m sure some of the good guys on here will help with sorting the day, take some help if people offer.

No point doing all this from a hospital bed Johnathan.

Either way,what you have started is a bloody good thing, but you take care of yourself as well pal.

[NP99]

Ambulance? Hospital? In the door?

Heres the front
27318
And heres the rear
27319

Not only will they assist in safe recoveries they also make the truck look about 30% tougher !!

Help needed for a member on hard times.

G'day Trendsetters!

Count me in!

Farken busted my arse yesterday helping Steve (Astro) fit his new TD05 16G to his Patrol at my place. Started at 9.00am finished at 1.00am in the morning. Unfortunately, the previous owner had fitted different size nuts to bolt the turbo to the exhaust manifold. We drove around 6 tool shops in Coffs Harbour trying to by a moon spanner to no avail.

In the end my mate Rob from (Robs engineering) in Coffs Harbour welded a steel rod to a 13mm spanner that we decided to modify for the job.

I have fitted a couple of the Nissan Patrol 3lt dual mass flywheel clutch set-ups. Do we have access to a work-shop and hoist? If not what about a gear-box jack and a shed to work in?

I have enough frequent flyer points to fly down to Victoria to help fit the clutch with nissannewby. Jas all you have to do is make me coffee. lol

PS, I have to go back to the Wesley Hospital next Thursday to see my specialist. Let me know a date when you want to do the work.

Regards,

RLI

[Bloodyaussie]

The kit actually includes a solid flywheel. Dual mass units are prone to failure, we will be discarding the dual mass unit from the vehicle and replacing it with a single mass or conventional style clutch.

[nissannewby]

Clean your inbox mate i cant get thru lol!!!

Inbox Clean Mate send away.

Im will also donate the diff centre as I havent donated any funds. I will confirm what parts I have for this but I am pretty sure its a complete centre minus the pinion. I had a look around the other day and couldnt find much under 300.

Paul dont forget to make yourself known when your up here. I have a bit of time on my hands now that Im looking for work.

[chester]

Guys bloody awesome job,
Where is the car?
i can come down with a tandem trailer to transport the car to AB's if needed.

[mudski]

Is there any member that work in the automotive spare parts industry that is willing to help with organizing say a cost price on some miscellanies items for the cause could you PM me please!!!

Thanks again to everyone!!
Tell me whats needed mate. I am getting the clutch kit and deep cycle battery. what else is needed?

[Bloodyaussie]

Ok we have a plan in place but we will know more after tomorrow..

The clutch will be done before that weekend meet up at AB's as it is a bugger of a job it will be done the weekend before on a hoist.

Now at AB's we will be doing all the other work..eg: diffs hubs electrical and so on.. I dont want to go into detail yet as I dont know what we can afford yet.

The clutch has been taken care of as is the battery by Mark, Andrew is looking into some stuff through ARB but we wont know till next week what he can get so until some things that are beyond our control are confirmed we will not know our budget 100%.

I would still like to see some vendors come to the party with some goodies ... :)

Depending on what happens with magazines we might need a person with good camera gear there to take lots of pics and we will write our own story??

Andy will post up the meet at his place any day now and let you all know the sleeping arrangements.... bags at the end of AB's bed!!!!!

[mudski]

Jonathan. When I order the clutch you reckon you could go around to Clutch Industries and pick it up? I am away, again, all next week for work. The battery I will buy the week after and bring it with me to AB's.

[Drewboyaus]

Btw, what electrical stuff do we need to do? I'll bring my soldering iron and auto elec toolbox to AB's if you like to help out with that. Will need an idea of how much split corry I'll need to bring to do it right.


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

[Bloodyaussie]

Yes Mark I will pick the clutch up next week....

The meet is on the 6th of April and then the next weekend is the Tallarook meet!!!!! Then I dont want to see or talk to any of you bloody lot!!!

[DX grunt]

'Brove'. I love it.

Ya gotta love when a plan comes together.

Thanks to everybody, in every way, who's helped, or have our bro, in their heart.

27 pages in 3 days - enough said!

Take care out there.

[Alitis007]

Those hooks on the back are for towing - not recovery ... i.e. not for snatching off ... the pull weight is only held by the thread of the bolts.

Use the tow receiver hitch and pin (tongue removed of course), or other rated recovery hooks (like the slide in style with bow shackle).

Sorry, just notice this one ...

I am also not far from the airport.. as Andy has approval from the powers that be I think we are confirmed for the 6th.
