Re: CAMBELT SERVICE, CORRECT TOOLS BUT CAMS KEEP OUT OF TIME BY VALVE SPRINGS FORCE!!
the standard tool does do that, hence my i have a large washer behind there to space it out a bit

You are correct, exhaust pulley must be undone
set belt tension and rotate backwards (make sure tensioner doesn't pass exhaust stud)
tighten up in order of inlet exhaust then crank
They're about $41K AUD with all the options (they call it a Trophy with cup chassis LOL! That's in LY too) which is about £22.5K GBP at the current rates
Cannot bloody wait to move there, V6 is going to cost £5K to ship over but it should be worth it...
Paul from RS Tuning has stated they make no difference and he's one of the best mappers in the country! You can't change the laws of physics, the engine CANNOT suck in more air regardless of what size thorttle body it has! (in simple terms)
IF its the one in the ebay link above DON'T bother, get your money back, they don't fit properly and whack off the subframe as you accelerate! waste of £240!!!
£1300 to replace an engine loom? its a 3hour job FFS! Sounds like the garage are taking the piss too, although you don't specify the EXACT damage
£1300 would get you a second hand engine/box/clutch etc FITTED with new belts etc
they use a PK6 (which comes in Renault van's!!!!) but the box in the V6 is actually specific to the V6 (different bell housing and ratios set, stronger selectors etc)
the thick pipe you're on about in for the brake servo, that connects to the "large nipple by the throttle body"
you have an air leak hence the reving issue, your car will need to be remapped back to standard also
the smaller nipple is for the carbon canister, both need to be connected up...
