  1. this will allow you to use the R33 style key hole cover on a R32 too!!!
  2. Isn't the benefit of a F/I car that it can detect the pressure and temp difference and adjust as required the basemap? We were cranking 6000ft, or 1800m density altitude (pressure altitude adjusted for temperature) in Toowoomba the other day, that's not crazy unusual for here and cars run fine at the top or bottom of the range.
  3. I need to take the front drive shafts out of the hubs this Friday so it's easier to move the car and spray the engine bay, are there any tricks to this? looks to me like; 1.Take out cotter pin 2. Get someone to hang onto shaft tight and undo nut on outside of hub. 3. Hit inwards with a mallet. The motor is already out, I don't want to take the caliper off as I will feed the shaft into the engine bay. Thanks in advance
  4. did I share the bookmarked manual with anyone? the only copy I posted aint working and I had to format the laptop a couple of months back
  5. I feel your pain Lee, My sex life went out the window when the GTR went off the road, hasnt been the same since...
  6. super low res aint a good start point either
  7. a few of the boys at work mix it 50/50 and throw in in their motorbikes, saying that people usually take it from the slops tank, so make sure you drain for water content before adding to your tank. it does require a tune to run properly, i stay clear of it personally unless you can guarantee a sufficient supply to mix half half all the time and tune to suit.
  8. Put aside $120 and YOU can fly a 2 seater trainer on the day. Be warned though, if you start flying yourself, everything else looses meaning...
  9. Hey guys; On Sunday the 3rd of May the David Hack Classic Meet is going to be on at Toowoomba airport. I'm going to be working on the field on the day, but there should be a good selection of Vintage cars, trucks, military vehicle, some planes and more. Details and some great photos can be found on http://www.rotarydavidhack.org/classicmeet.php When Sunday, 3rd May, 2009 - from 9.00am - 3.00pm. Where The Aerotec Hangar, Spitfire St, Toowoomba Airport.
  10. a multi wing aircraft just allows more lift to be produced in the same wingspan over a less efficient aerofoil multi element aerofoils should be able to produce more downforce for the same wing span. fatter aerofoils produce more lift at lower speeds but more drag at higher speeds, skinnier aerofoils produce more lift at higher velocities though, now im thinking the shit planes we fly use very fat wings and we cruise around 160kph, wouldnt a car aerofoil which probably see's most its use around 100-200kph need a fatter aerofoil too? most the D1 style wings are just a slightly curved flat piece of carbon of firbeglass
  11. haven't read anything on car aerodynamics in detail, but im assuming the shape in the picture I posted, similar to a aircraft aerofoil would be most efficient, and i saw a couple guys once with maybe 20-30 degrees angle of attack on the rear wing of their car, in hindsight wouldn't this create a shit load of drag and not create any 'lift' downwards???
  12. yeah the even coating is a bitch, i let them settle for a couple hours then threw them in a oven for a hour at 100c ended up repainting the flat spots, then coating the whole lot with darker red caliper paint, looks good, not great
  13. the seal on the R32 comes out in one piece, just cover up and tape the breather holes and the underside. did you look in the paint code section? high temp paint has sweet fook all color options
  14. go back to almost the gear box, then again from behind the rear axle
  15. this is how the red crinkle came out, a bit light for my liking
  16. was going to buy main bolts for the crank cradle off the boys at Chilton, he called a couple ppl and said at 400kw i wont need them, they just distort the shape of the bearings
  17. Got the block back from the shop, had been cleaned but not painted, so wire brushed it down, tred using some high temp primer from the VHT range and had 2 cans of white explode on me, so resorted to red, with a aluminum colour finish, looks good i think block back from the shop taped and primered first coat of aluninium finished, two coats, tape off decked head smint
  18. thanks craved, closer inspection after you message it does look very fixable... what is a good cleaner for the parts after they are painted to take residue, left over sand etc off???
  19. gayness, hit the sand blaster tonight on some bits, but forgot to take the inside of the cam cover off and the mesh grill under the seperator plate is full of sand, do nissan sell new ones primer tomorrow, need to look for a red crinkle finish too
  20. i dont know what ur planning, but my 4" system was best for getting me pulled over and defected
