Hey Macca and Eli, what was the rising Sunday event like?

Nice too meet you Pal. The gt-r is a beast. Low km's awesomeness!

2 at the back 1 in the middle hangers and the flexible side mount goes over the front of the cat cat flange and picks up the 2 bolt holes. So?

Were going to custom cars and coffee at the Motorplex not rising Sunday at barbs:-)

Are you entering or spectator. how hard is it to enter without pre-registering? Like if you just rock up, Never been to this before?

Leaky exhaust both sides of the cat. Who the f### made that! Oh it was me. Tail between the legs. Just redone it with 2 new gaskests and copper permatex both sides. Hope it works?

100 divided by 2 is 50 nudge. Nudge wink wink.

1 minute if you run there! So are you going to have a look?

Can't really see a reason to weld the dissimilar metals together? That would be highly specialised. One is a aluminium based alloy, The other iron based. I've repaired a few cast Ali/iron heads for cars/drag cars before. Fully F/G clamped the head to a 2" thick cast iron milled table. Pre heated with the oxy gently/the entire head gradually. Grooved out the crack with Ali Burr on the die grinder, down to where you can't see where the crack started, welding well before where the crack started and finished using cast Ali rods and pure argon. Post heated the head gradually to a cool down. The heat transfer properties and molecular structure of the materials are pretty much a polar opposite. Alloys are loose softer and dance freely, high thermal expansion and contraction. Irons are tighter don't dance and have low thermal expansion and contraction. Alloy's s are a/c welding with tig for castings. Iron's Are d/c - welding with tig for castings. They both have a tendency to spit the filler material out if you weld it too hot, that's where the pre and post heating comes into it. I crank the hot start up a bit because you will create a weak point if you hang around to get the weld puddle pooling. Easy on Ali harder for lower amps on cast. Nature of the beast. The pre-post heat is more critical on the alloy than iron. Just a thought? Our new Kempi tig has a mix setting that combines Ac/dc current and has a synergic setting as well? Can't beat the old analouge Hobart welder so far as I'm concerned. Digital, high low high low, analouge higgghh lowww, higgghh, lowww. Makes for beautiful pulse welding! Alternatively you could mash a heap of bird shit into the corner and hope the flux and slag sticks it togetherB-) bronzing, brazing, solder, pop rivets, silicone. Nuts and bolts etc:-)

Hey Dean got a few little jobs to do on the car tomorrow but if your definitely going jack and I will head out for a look?

Hey Pal are you still going to coffee and cars. Dead keen to check out the beast? Boss from work is taking his caddie down aswell apparently?

been working on this stuff the last few days. Catch can with stack dual 2 " inlets to 3" outlet. reducers 10" nom from manifolds with bellows up to dual 12" nom exhaust pipes, dual 10" aluminised air intakes and all the engine coolant tubes for a M.T.U. Or (mostly troubled unit.) power generation. The 2x12" exhaust pipes run to a dual side inlet silencer 4' diameter 18" outlet with stack mounted on a frame outside the engine room. Show us your diesel!

Yeah hardox is wear plate it comes in different higher tensile strengths and is common for use in load bearing/abrasive applications. Loader buckets, mills etc. More R+D from the master! Did u stick weld it?

Yep that's a jib alright! Any pics of your handi work?

What was the jig/jib for?

Show us your jig!

You made a jig. A jib is the front sail off a yactch? I like pretending to be a service technician as well! You know what they say, a change is never as good as a holiday!

Suppose backing vocals don't match minor power chords from the Warlock?

Only Macka I've ever heard of with out a hzj75 diesel or VT commodore. Awesomeness!

How much? If you don't mind me asking?

I'm in [emoji7] faster because it's a red one!

Party in the the drive train, spectacles up font. Business in the back. A versatile Japanese mullet!

I love the stagea's, wife said do not bring one home? She's a weirdo! Had one blow the doors of the xr8 on tonkin one day and she still didn't like it!

Karaoke would be perfect for a crew sing? If it's khe-san I'm busy!

25 extra hot Nandos birds. Or 60 Woolies chooks :-o!
