Hi

I missed out on Sydneykids kit but he was good enough to refund the money

Bit of a mix up with courier arriving and me away. Wife too.

Hope to get some of his other gear later.

Sydneykid has some great posts

after selling us shit engines..maybe he doesn't wnan show his face ne more.

Did you ever recieve or go ahead with the engine? I remember hearing/seeing you saying something about wanting an engine, but it took ages to get done (could've been someone else).

You say 'shit engines' so I assume you got it?

Sydneykid has contributed heaps to this site.

yeah Felix got dicked with his engine, 1 year wait then POS :)

Infact Felix paid $8000AUD, he could've converted that to NZD last year and go just over $10k :action-smiley-069:

which is the starting rate for a RIPS forged package :S

RB30 Bare forged bottom ends (short block), start at NZD$10,450 (suit minimum 750hp and 8000 rpm) Ripsltd.co.nz

oh well, you live and learn, could've paid a bit extra and gone to RIPS for an RB30, as for suspension and brakes and other things SydneyKid definitely knows what he is doing, I can definitely see why Felix is pretty pissed, that's a lot of money :S

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
