They do custom? Are they anygood? I thought kmac did dodgy shit that VN owners bought?

Well with a heating torch & a pipe bender you can be your very own custom sway bar manufacturer... Have a look at the current whiteline cattledog. You will see that there isn't alot of science in it.

Yeah Kmac do custom...i have them on mine....27 up front atm...and 20 at rear. But they f**ked up the oreder first time....took me 3 months to get the first set. and they were totally wrong, so i sent my original down with the set and they remade them, i still havent recieved my old ones back yet. As for performance, they seem to hold the car well, need a thicker back one i think, but shit house service, and an good bar, i havent used whiteline so i cant compare them.

Oh and i just got non adjustable swaybars too, they do, do some really good adjustable ones apparantly.

Whiteline can make the cars for you, just depends if they want to, in their catoluges they have up to 34 or something mm thick bars. 24mm is the biggest standard line they do though.

Steve can go f**k him self, for legal reasons I will not make mention of what happened over the internet, however he better think himself lucky I didn’t take the matter further.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      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.
