NEWS FLASH - Gemini Down for the Count!
My brother Ian has just reported to me that I quote:
"THE GEMINI!"
"Kaboomie"
"timing chain or something"
no compression anymore"
"Dad was driving, and bang, it stopped running, tried to turn it over and it has no compression, which could mean that squikey noise on startup was no infact the water pump but could have been the timing chain, and when the timing chain goes, the cam shaft that controls the air going in and out of each cylinder, stops dead, the pistons com up, and exaust isnt open, so compression to the max, and boom, hole in piston."
During this time of Grief, I ask for your prayer... I hope that the old Girl can make it through this, but... I fear that the end is upon us...

As hard as I laugh, I once had a gemma too, briefly. A purple one. It leaked when it rained...
On the upside, this is your chance to make it into the ultimate sleeper by slipping (or wedging) in an SR20DET or similar. Think about it, I think it's not too far from a dam good idea.
Anywho, I'll leave you to sulk.
nonsense ... nothing could beat that motor ... nothing ... untill dad came along :P
My condolences Nut.
The tragic demise of the "mighty" *heavy sarcasm* gemini, I think, will touch us all.
Perhaps you should invest in a banged up old Nissan Pulsar, you just cant kill them
A PULSAR!!???!?!?
All the Pulsars that I know are only barely held together by the dirt that has accumulated on them!!!
aaah the old gemini fiiiinally bit the dust hey.
i remember young andrew nye putting a dollar of diesel in it and it running for a month.
*sniff sniff*
the ramming of a certain person's wheelie bins everytime he came to visit at schoolies.
oh and whoever reckoned a pulsar would be better
pulsar = rice mobile
gemini = a classic :)
and why the hell would you put in an sr20?
throw in a 2.6 rodeo motor, which you only need to move one engine mount if memory serves, or failing that, one of those delishious new all alloy 190kW v6s from the commodores :)
mmmmmm
its almost enough for me to wantto buy a commodore...
almost
ooh ooh ooh and while you're at it, cover it with neons and a huge wing and lower it and paint it purple, and put frying pan wheels on, then you can be a complete wanker.
There you go, See the post on my Tag board... My father... the culprit explaining it...
