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.

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!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
