Spotting drills for deburing drilled holes, perfert chamfer everytime and it looks like it was done on a cnc!

Air rivet guns, makes light work when you got eleventy billion rivets to pop!

This drill kit is is a must have,,,remember the last time you broke a drill bit and then needed another. Not anymore with this one. Just have to remind my self to buy replacements.

had to use yhis the other day to cut the trans tunnel out of a vn then cut the tail shaft in half to get a wreck off the trailer at work... Had no key and was in park... The selector on the trans was also rooted....

If you are serious about getting the most accurate torque settings consistently, virtually maintenance free.

Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench

323500a.jpg

dual-signal.jpg

Capacity - 20-220 ft.lbs / 30-300Nm

Drive Size - 1/2"

FEATURES:

- Dual signal ( see and hear when the wrench has reached the selected torque.)

- extremely accurate (+-2%)

Or if you want something more 'high tech' this one flashes, beeps & vibrates

If anyone is interested in either of these PM me, I have a pretty good hook up & may start a group buy if there is enough interest.

Or how about these, find that squeak in your suspension or useful for listening for knock whilst tuning

No....not that kind of tool.....

The "how do I get this old rubber hose off" thread reminded me about this idea.....so here it is, the cool tool thread.

What are the odd/unusual/invaluable tools you use!

Here is the opening item....

What: Hose Pliers

For: Saving your knuckles! Gets most hoses off, and after 20 years they can be damn hard to budge! Vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, breather hoses you name it.

From: Got mine from the tool guy that came to the show n shine....probably need to find a specialist tools shop

Cost: About $30

Used a set of these on Tuesday. Absolutely awesome and saved my knuckles.

Talking about torque wrenches I had to buy this bad boy for my centre lock wheel nuts. I think it goes to 700nm's.

Cheers

Thats pretty awesome, haven't seem too many of them around, I bit overkill i would think for a wheel nut?? The wrench below is used on tank tracks & to tighten the bolts on the west gate bridge.

Capacity - 200-1000 ft.lbs / 260-1340Nm

Drive Size - 1"

Length - 140cm

Need a flashlight for working on the car? This is a CREE LED 330 lumen and runs on rechargeable lithium batteries. Thing is absolutely awesome.

<cut>

Nice, I use a Romisen RC-C6

Mainly because it floods a huge area when you use it, which is good when you want to look over a broad area.

Problem is the battery probably only lasts around 1hour, but the batteries are smaller than a AA so its not exactly hard to carry a couple around :)

Dunc I will be keen for that, one day. Lol street r33 or track car, whichever is working well enough to race with! Im secretly keen on the street car though. God im hoping it delivers the results im expecting! Im gonna blow everyone away! EVERYONE!!!!

Those torque wreches are huge! I believe they use that size to do up truck wheel nuts also!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
