hey guys I'm after a 5/8 to 3/4 hose reducer for my heater (20 to 25 conversion) but I can't find one anywhere. I've tried pirtek, plumbing stores, hardware stores and a bunch of car stores but have found nothing. Does anyone thats possibly done the conversion know where I can find one (well 2 actually)?

i just used half of the original 32 heater hoses (ones that go through the fire wall) cut them off, fillted 2 5/8 straight joiners from bursons. them fitted 5/8 blue silicon heater hose onto the engine. they are fairly tight but with a bit of vaso they go on ok. I didnt use the factory pipes that go across the bottom of the inlet manifold tho.. i just joined them straight to the block if that makes sense lol

Ah so basically the silicon 5/8 could stretch enough to fit over the 3/4 outlet / inlet?

Seeing as your in SA, head to GRH supplies at South tce Wingfield (use to work there), ask for Laurie. They have an extensive range of brass fittings and should be able to make something up to do the job! :blink:

Tell him James that use to work there sent you and he'll look after you!

I wouldn't go streaching the hose, gives it a much higher chance of splitting as it makes the wall thickness thinner!

Yeah mate thats right, just have to get the "blue" silicon hose. Bit of lube and they go on piece of piss.

If you didnt wanna do that then id say enzed, pirtek, hartrite etc etc will have the stuff you need

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
