howdy guys and gals!

wow, fair bit happening, james a mod, GOR cruise pics and shit, been missing out on some stuff.... stupid uni, and i'd just like to state that RMIT is THE shittest uni ever!!!

anyways, sunday arvo was on bluff rd, just about to cross over south rd when a beautiful sparkling Silver (i think pewter to be more exact) R34 GTR slow turns right from south rd into Bluff rd as if he was giving me a good look :D But... it had FULL race decals, stickers, sponsors, the works. I think i saw a "New Age Motors" or something like that stuck on it. Rims weren't OEM GTR, they where either Silver TE-37's or Nismo GT-4(1's maybe??)'s? (the one's Mario has on his Blue R34 GTR). Looked REAL mean, had a Nismo Front bar as well, cos of the side vent thingies. It's the second time i've ever seen a R34 GTR and i think it's the same one i saw the first time as i've seen it twice now around Hampton/Brighton. Does anyone know who this is?? Or where it could have been racing??? I'd be really interested to find out, would love to go watch it if it's possible. Maybe a GT production class somewhere??

Anyways, just thought i post this in case someone knows what the hell i'm crappin on about.

oh and hi all, haven't been on for a bit, too much uni work.

cheers.

EDIT: just lookin at the GOR pics, there was a black R34 GTR! i didn't know there was on here who has one... this a SAU member? awesome car.

ah, so ice has a few GTR's, very nice.

New import dealership?? hmm, sounds interesting, i know that the one on Nepean Hwy packed up shop a few months back. I thought that was called Success Motor Imports, not 100% tho.

Well today is today :O see anything??

Any chance it could have been down at Phillip Island for the Pro Car series? (pro car?? not sure) I heard there was like a GT Production class, like Common's vs STi's, Evo's etc.

      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)
