lookforjoe Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Did you give the head to a machine shop? You need to have it checked for trueness, and to get the valves reseated. You should stick with gasket intended for the motor. The S60R also has different plugs designed to go with the revised head, doesn't mean you should use them.

They are oil cooler lines that go to that side of the radiator. They're just like the transmission cooler lines at the other end of the radiator - one goes to the upper end, the other to the lower end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this car is a manual I didn't expect to find transmission cooler lines...are they only on a turbo model ?Just trying to work out if I need a turbo version radiator ! or can I get away with a non turbo one.

Tranny cooler lines would be on the other side fo the car if you had a auto . Also make sure to zip tie them or worm gear clamp them on after you install them on the rad. the clips if not new have a tendency to pop off.

These are seriously rare over here, and to find one in a junkyard! Just thought I'd post a quick one to let you know I have a sister-ship to your car , exact same everything and she's in great nick. I bought her down in Canberra 4 years ago after much wishing and waiting. I pretty much know it inside out by now so if you have any questions or want to see one that's completely original for ideas of parts and such, don't hesitate to give us a buzz. I live in Epping in Sydney. I've got a friend who works for Alto Parts who is real handy for O/E stuff you can't source from the states. What an exciting project though, can't wait to see another Saff on the road!!Best of luck,Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.loo Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 For second hand parts I found prices tended to be cheaper from wreckers in Adelaide and Brisbane/Gold Coast than Sydney or Melbourne. I rang around for a second heater/air conditioner fan motor (couldn't get one from the USA, as the mounting hole pattern is different between RHD and LHD). The fan motor ranged in price from $110 (A Allans in Brisbane) to $250 from a few Sydney wreckers. The local Volvo wreckers in Melbourne (Berry Motor Group) quoted $225. I ended up getting it shipped from City Dismantlers in Adelaide for $165 plus about $19 postage (COD to pay for postage), as they assured me it came from an S70 that had done about 80000km. It was well wrapped and works great so far.Good luck with the rebuild.from Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasw Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The thread is getting on a bit in age but I haven't been back here for a while and couldn't help notice some aussie R's appear!I was beginning to think there weren't any of these left on the road in Australia. I have only ever seen one more up here in Brisbane which was black. There are a few of the later body shape ones about though.I attached a photo of a track day me and a friend of mine went to a Lakeside as for some reason I have no other photos of it?!Have you had your's on a track? It was abit hairy being auto and all but it sat in the corners like it belonged there. It is bog standard and has since had the head done as we discovered an oil leak from the passenger (RHD) side rear corner of the head gasket. My guess is it was weeping before I coaxed it round the track at speed and then went out in protest. Oh well. Needed a freshen up anyway at 140K. Looking forward to colder temps coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
