ANF Posted 23January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 23January, 2017 The problem we have here gentlemen (well that's pushing it ) is that both of these are called RS wheels.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 24January, 2017 Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 Actually, no. Tiaan wouldn't put the fatty boombah RS wheel in his 964. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tit Posted 24January, 2017 Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 Actually, no. Tiaan wouldn't put the fatty boombah RS wheel in his 964.Lol. I'm confused. I thought you had a 964 RS Style wheel on your 964, which you swapped out for Mod07. ...not that 'newer' RS style which you just posted on the 928.ie...not so easy to buy online...

KGB Posted 24January, 2017 Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 (edited) Lol. I'm confused.Yes, you are. 964 wheel (RS 964-993 version) went into the 928 (as per pic), Protipo went into 964. Nomeclature, I guess.Where did the 4 spoke RS wheel come into my equation? Edited 24January, 2017 by KGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not the same as a standard wheel just with a diff horn pad? Certainly looks it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 24January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 (edited) rim is thicker too.Really? Looks the same as my 928 one?Unless the standard 928 one is to RS spec? Edited 24January, 2017 by ANF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 24January, 2017 Report Share Posted 24January, 2017 (edited) Maybe smaller diameter too.rim is thicker too.and more blacker. Edited 24January, 2017 by KGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 2February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 2February, 2017 Fun and games in 928 (fixing) land.... finally got all my injectors out of their intakes, they were extremely tight - needed heat and vice grips to remove the sleeves, now need new sleeves! This intake "refresh" is now costing a bit.... Also got my speedo gear after a longer than expected wait, but it fits and works!! My wife even commented that my 928 is becoming a money pit..... Catch up maintenance is a pig......Looking forward to hopefully soon driving it!! GUT and tazzieman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 2February, 2017 Report Share Posted 2February, 2017 My wife even commented that my 928 is becoming a money pit..... Catch up maintenance is a pig......You should show her a few posts about 986/996 and up maintenance. Just as complex , and less user friendly!

ANF Posted 9February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 The naked valley of the V.... it really is a big beast of an engine, photos do not show how massive it looks all undressed.... a bit of cleaning up to do but not too much accumulated oil and debris for all the years....A bit more clearing, a few new hoses and lots of new seals to go in, will see it running sweet again KGB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 13February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 13February, 2017 Some progress, finally putting things back together Inside throttle body was quite grungy! The black lumpy things are actually fly bodies!!Was pretty dirty all round inside.....Much better Pretty happy with the outcome really!!Anyone who has a car this old (or older) and has not done this needs to! Especially a 928... KGB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANF Posted 13March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 13March, 2017 (edited) One final piece of the puzzle to solve..... a plea to any 928 aficionados out there!!The metal vacuum line that runs from front of intake plenum to the transmission has a join in it above the start of the torque tube. This has come apart and needs a new hose joiner, I can see it and what I have to do but cannot access it from below (without pulling masses of things off!).Any tips from those that have been here before?Thanks Edit - now fixed Edited 14March, 2017 by ANF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchanan Automotive Posted 6April, 2017 Report Share Posted 6April, 2017 (edited) Its just a "push on " vacuum hose ( it gives vacuum to the modulator ) , its a bit tricky to get to , but you can do it from underneath , on a M28;21/22 or an earlier one like you're s ( same vacuum set up ) , I just loosen off the heat shield above the front resonator & move it over a bit & with ( Long ) long hose pliers & new section / piece of high quality vacuum tubing of the correct internal diameter , you just replace it First time you do it its a bit difficult , but after decades of practice its easy Edited 6April, 2017 by Buchanan Automotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a piece of spring steel (from an old wiper blade) to make the vacuum hose rigid and a little bit of soap, did the trick nicely.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 29May, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 29May, 2017 New Radiator purchased and very soon to be fitted Still waiting for my new injectors to turn up..... they have been at the freight depot in Sydney (Fastway) since 28th April.... on hold waiting for correct delivery address. They did not bother to mention to the sender or myself of this fact!! Apparently they will not deliver to a PO Box! Would have been nice if the sender or their freight company had advised of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGB Posted 29May, 2017 Report Share Posted 29May, 2017 Must admit to having been caught out myself a few times, now I read a vendor's website like a hawk in regard to shipping detail. Also name of courier/carrier usually indicates local POB practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
