I've been saving up my 'out with the boys' time up for the coming events. You know how it is .... the missus only puts up with so much so I take a bit of time off then hammer the car thing - ie. drags Sunday (hopefully), dyno day in a couple of weeks then drags on the 31st.

Matt, where's my magic card? :P

Matt,

Happy b'day for the other day mate :D

Good luck on Sunday too. Probably won't make it (family stuff on - see Andy's 'out with the boys' comment) plus a few of my engine bits are missing & in the process of being made 'slightly reflective', by me (I have sore hands) :)

Whats this!!!? Couldn't put up with all that fast food heh?

Stick to the Herbs baby.You know you want too.

BTW - I am mourning the loss of my new R33 street car.the oil pump is busted & the engine is out again!!! Oh well, might get to cruise in it one day - in the meantime the race car is a priority so will have to concentrate on that in order to get to the 31st May meeting & try & get the title back from Keir.

See everyone at the Drags on Sunday - might just be watching for a change!

      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)
