Meh, its an amazing car, absolutely. I would argue i have more to say about it than most but even then, i couldnt get a reply from Martin. And im pretty sure he saw the posts. :D

No stress...

I still prefer my Italians. :(

Got some plates you might very well be interested in, by the way if you read this...

Pete, the blokes name is Michael, he has posted on here, mitric is his user name or something to that effect (has a couple of numbers after it) He's a dentist and was lucky enough to see it on the track last year, it hammers, and looks 10x more stunning in person!

Those plates are NSW...

Surely it was registered in SA, no?

So can we ask who the owner of the beautiful 34 is and what's been done to it..........or is it classified info :(

yeah Pete, as Luke said the owner's name is Michael.

FYI it is Paul Rogers' old car (ex-Adelaide 36s basketballer) and has full on red leather interior.

Car was standard mechanically when Michael bought it, but I think he has been tinkering with it. Looks and sounds pure porn!

      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)
