To answer happygut, nope not buying the ebay kit, was a price from the local auto store and not sure on what brand of kit it is. Have read to stay away from the cheap chinese crap. can’t afford to this this again both money wise and time wise. Wife and three kids, building a house, work etc…….. but I did get a reply from sms diesel, $1100 plus freight. That’s pretty dam good as far as I’m concerned. it came with their turbo rings so i'm pretty happy with that. UFI was price TBC for the rebuild, yeah knew they were busy. Lol. It’s what happens when you have a reputable company. Definitely go with them for the tune though, just not sure on their pump prices, dang. hmmmmmmmmmm
As for westy’s, havn’t been able to isolate wether its on the up or down. Not sure how I could do that but I’ll chase down some forum threads today and get on to it. I’ll start looking around for prices for a gu pump. From what I’ve read I’m chasing one from a series I or II gu and I’ll keep my eyes peeled on gumtree, ebay and the forums for secondhand ones. You never know. And yes popped the dipstick. Had a mini freak out when I lifted to hood and saw it hanging out, considering I was in port augusta with another 2000 odd km to go……….puffing like a steam train. And yes I’m still driving it as can’t afford a rental car to still get around for two more weeks, yes I’m the one in the slow lane and cruising off at the lights. Lol. Can’t believe it’s still going. good news is it's not seized or over heating. just dreading a bang
Huey_gq, I’ve read so many threads and I’ll be back onto yours today !!!! cheers dude. I remember this thread and I have based my rebuild price of what you supplied to the forum, thanks heaps and you didn't even know it!!
Firm351. I’ll be in touch. Even if you come over for drinks and yell abuse at me for not going fast enough!!!!!!!!! Lol. As for parts, you could be a life saver and thanks heaps for the offer. I’ll be in touch when I start buying parts for this build in a week, and thanks again for the offer to, great to know there are still people out there willing to chip in for fellow enthusiasts.
i'm sure there's more that I've forgotten. thanks all again for the help.
