as far as I know it will be Brent.

I haven't checked with hermey 100% but Brent is the one doing all their tuning, and he originally rescheduled to fit it in so brent could be there.

Why is everyone asking for a spin in my coilovers? Has someone started a thread I missed?

Yes everyone who wants a drive in my car can jump in . Greddy type s'sssssssss

Since Dave asked for a R33.. He misses out :P :P

Damn, i was going to give you a drive of my freshly tuned monster too......ah well ;)

Hey all,

New member here but I'll be there just got my R34 GTR so wouldn't be bad to find out how much power my gtr's got and see if its running ok. plus i can ask a 100 questions to all the other gtr owner.

That's the idea. It's a very social day out.

Dont you want to see your handy work in action?

Gotta get Mark down to tune it though...thats the only issue. If not we will bring Dave's car and give it a run. Will be there either way...will be good to see your beast tearing up the rollers.

    • 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.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • 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)
