yeah im not going now also :D have to decide do i goto dyno day or bring daughter home and to bed so i can take her to the royal show again and see the fire works

me thinks take her twice her mum will only take her once :D gooooo dad :(

hahaha... Not only the box but the clutch flares also. :D

You going to get the muppet bus on the rollers Darren?

I seriously looked in to an auto conversion for a little there, MV had an auto for $350 + 220 for full manual $300 something for shift kit.

UNTIL...

I stumbled upon an Rb25 5speed out of a crashed series 2 gtst for $950 with tail shaft included.

I had to rip the box out which was a nightmare due to the tunnel being compressed slightly. The box is in perfect nick; so I will be staying with manual and having some fun with the car around Mallala AND the drags once/when it opens back up.

Keen to go halves in a pair of slicks when the time comes Darren? :D

yep more then keen.

and yes i will be there.

But we will need to have a set each to run each other,

unless your happy running on street tyres.

Each have a run with street tyres. See who gets whooped worse. :)

2 slicks aren't too expensive anyway.

BIG thanks to Madaz for popping around and giving me a hand to get that damn box out!!!!!!!

i would have traction issuse up to around 100kph where you "may" get in front.

hahah.

As long as you don't do something silly like bolt on a water/meth injection kit I think it will be close..... for you. hahah :)

im guessing by that you have a WM kit on its way?

Me Silly?

what should i bring to the dyno day?

my wifes skyline or my atv?

cant bring both, and i would find it rather amusing my quad having more power then some of the cars there.

damn, i thought i did oright finding mine for $1200 and i still need to find a yoke.

Found someone to do the tailshaft mod yet?

Yokes can be picked up for ~$110.

Haven't sorted the tail shaft mod yet.

Just sorted the speedo drive and will be dropping the diff ratio down again to help prevent wheel spin in the first 2 gears.

Prior when I ran the 4.08 ratio second gear felt lazy as there wasn't quite enough balls; first felt great much more usable; now third has issues depending on road surface and how hard/quick I flatten it. So I think the 4.08 will be welcomed, if not more boost. ;)

I am running 225's though so thats to be expected; but the 225's do hook a little better than a mates set of 245/40/18 Nankang NS2's.

Peoples...

Anyone that registers for entry before the event will get to dyno for $35.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
