hmmm, I appear to be the butt of all jokes! :)

Damn that fence, costing me my cred :woot:

Oh and BTW Mr Pres, have waited a long time for this, it is "pp" in "Sapphire" :woot:

Easier to explain where my name comes from now, Sapphire Cosworth abbreviated is saff cossie and I just added a _ between them for good measure as one forum wouldnt allow spaces.

Gday aaron,

welcome to SAU, and finally another cossie owner i can mingle with and talk about 'REAL' cars :huh:

fyi, Paul was the guy i was gonna recommend to you. how are you finding his work?

it sounds like both cars have mild setups, with plenty of potential for more especially the RS500.

i'm in the northern suburbs of melbourne, we should catch up some time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
