Go to Motor Traders, and start from there.

Ryco Filters, Z145a i think is the part number for your oil filter.

Do the Fuel Filter also. Gates Timing belts, maybe replace your thermostat while you are at it.

Gerbox and diff oil, yeah, i guess people have their own preferences.

Just go over everything, feel the swaybar and links, check for cracks in bushes..simple things like that.

and water pump! since the front of the engines going to be off anyways..

1 Gutted door :whistling:

Also been speaking with CAMS today. Got them to send me all the info i need on making my car a Race/Rally car so i can drive it on the street hehe. Straight from the document

A dedicated rally car can only be used on public roads under the following circumstances:

To participate in an official CAMS event.

 To drive the vehicle to and from all aspects of that event.

 To drive the vehicle to and from official promotional events, including media days and displays.

 To drive to and from maintenance/repair establishments. This may include testing and evaluation.

 Any other activities at the request of the SA CAMS office.

Yes im doing some testing to and from Villis on a Friday night haha

Rant,

Coming home from a mates place tonight. Coming onto north east rd from Kelly street. Look left look right twice and go. According to the policeman this wasnt enough and i didnt come to a complete stop at the stop sign. $332 fine and 3 points :whistling:

Unfortunately the vehicle must come to a COMPLETE stop. That means stopping before the line, applying the handbrake for a second (or 2, just to be sure), then treating the intersection as a "give way". Done too many driving tests (military especially) where thats an instant fail.

Anyone know how to find how many demerit points I got let? Or when they dissapear after a few years?

Cheers

They disappear after 3 years of the date of offence

If you've got 6 accrued (half) you'll get a "you're well on your way to losing your licence" letter that will show up what you've gained LOL

Correct, when I was learning to drive, my Instructor said to stop at the line, and wait at least 5 seconds before moving off, of course making sure no traffic is coming the other way.

Do fixed speed/red light camera know which car on which lane the vehicle was speeding?

Today, I was sitting at about 50km/h in a 50 zone driving through an intersection that I knew had a fixed camera then mid-intersection BAM flash in the left side mirror and corner of my eye to the right a car appeared out of nowhere and braked hard... so at the time the car would of been side by side next to me or slightly behind - hope my truck didnt get in the way of the moron's numberplate or the fine getting sent to me instead...

how hard could something be to find

i want an intercooler core. 450 x 300 x 75 (would prefer thinner but cant be choosy)

got one with outlets at either end, kinda want them at the same end for simplicity (like this)

cpdocooler45030076.jpg

however these ones have 3" outlets. bit too big for my application (2" max)

who else sells coolers with odd outlets like that, and reasonably cheap?

you can get a kit from Kudos Motorsport Dion, but i guess you dont wanna wait for it seeing as your doing it all tomorrow.

Thanks, I did see those but Ive been told not to use the genuine nissan waterpumps, because they are generic to the 20/25/neo and therefore have an elongated hole that leaks... :cool:

go to nissan for timing belts

Been told this too, apparantly gates ones are noisy??

and water pump! since the front of the engines going to be off anyways..

Yeppo :)

Cheers guys :)

does anyone know where the heck i can get some of these style clamps from today?

constant-tension-clamps_lrg.jpg

they are called "constant tension" , "preformed" or spring band clamps"

from my understanding, they are a factory-only style clamp, and are rarely sold aftermarket.

Tridon make them, as do a few other smaller brands.

need some 23 and 25mm ones TODAY, and have already tried the following:

sprints

repco

supercheap

universal fastners

motor traders

pirtek

enzed

CBC

any other suggestions?

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.

      Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.

      HK Premier with plans for slight mods, but keeping clean and simple

      By Christof · Posted

      First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions.

      I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
