The fitting in the side of the block is a tapered 3/4 BSP thread..

Nobody (that i can find) makes a 3/4 tapered bsp fitting with a AN -10 or -12 male on the other side...

To 'jam' a 3/4 BSP parrarel thread into it is just plain dodgy, and you always run the risk of the damn thing leaking,

not to mention that most of the thread will not be used and looks terrable hanging out.

Does anybody know where I can get a fitting, otherwise,

I guess I'm gonna have to buy some tooling and make up a few and sell them to cover the costs.

Yea, I looked at that..

But I was totally stumped when I spent over an hour on the phone and a few hours on the net and NOBODY listed it!

I have seen lots of people who have done this mod, and I was shocked that I cant find a fitting.

I can make the fitting, I'll have to buy a few bits to do it, but it looks like I gonna have my own little market for this!

That is just the tip of the iceberg however, while I was looking, I also couldn't find a single fitting with a tapered BSP thread that has an 'AN' fitting on the other side of any size.

that means that I couldn't find any fittings that join an 'AN' fitting to anything that bolts into the engine. Oil or water..

All the 'AN' threads I found were parrarel.

Proflow make one that fits. You can get it from www.vpw.com.au i was at our local brake place and they have two sitting there and i matched the thread up with the bung i pulled out of an rb30 block and it has a dash 10 fitting on the end of it. Im goin to get the fitting for my motor on monday and ill post a photo of it up and let u know how it fits into the block.

What I mean is, I get my hose guy to use crimp teflon braid, not AN stuff.

They can cut and silver solder the hose tail off the factory fitting, then make the rest out of crimped braid. Works every time.

Stick to banjos for the water lines, it's easier to keep everything away from the exhaust too.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
