Rather than making a new tool thread, any comments on this for getting off flywheel bolts? Would it be up to it? $169 on sale for jap made rattle gun, 425ft/lb (so about 575nm?). The $40 supercrap ones are 310nm....

transquip link

should be fine Adam - as long as you have the air pressure for it

there is a tool out there, but i cant find the name - its has a 3/4 inch fitting for a socket with a small arm attached to a swivelling long arm

you hit the long arm with it setup like an L so the down force from the hammer blow cracks the nut.

if i find it i'll post up

For flywheel bolts I've always just used a 1/2 inch breaking bar and socket...

How did you hold the crank still? With a rattle gun i can just ignore that issue. And its a good excuse for buying new toys!

Hey, you guys might be able to answer me.

Cylinder hones, whats better the flexible ones (with all the abrasive balls) or the ones with 3 straight stones.

Ive used the 3 stone ones before with pretty good success but never tried the flexi ones.

Cheers

You can get a tool that bolts onto two of the bell housing spots, and it locks into the flywheel.

I believe the Volkswagen one fits.

I also just had some piece of steel around that fitted the above job perfectly.

3 stone hone will take alot more of the bore out

ball hone is just to de-glaze the bore or to remove surface rust if oil ran away from one bit

You're talking about one of these; right? post-61153-0-84460800-1307628247_thumb.jpg Sidchrome Impact bar. Only ever seen 1/2" drive though.

Features

  • • Creates impact to shock frozen nuts loose
  • • 8 x torque multiplication with a single hammer blow
  • • No compressed air required
    I have one; Best. Tool. Ever. Well, except for ratcheting ring spanners...

You might do better, but at least an indication.

~$30 of awesome

Tie-rod end/pit-man arm puller, long gone are the frustrating hours of hammering the crap out of, prying, heating, WD-40'ing etc. Put it on, wind in the bolt, CRACK, done!

Want!

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
