It compares well with my other comp tester (I got this one as the tester that I had didn't have a small thread adapter) that I tested against a calibrated gauge when I worked for the national Measurement Institute.

Just did a quick browse. Metabo it looks like sell for $680 or so and 210nm max torque, the IR sells for about $800 but aroubd 1000nm max torque. For the sake of $100 or even $200 it's a MUCH better tool...

Just checked pricing on both for another guy

$816.75 for the IR W7150-k2 and $506.14 for the Metabo SSW 18 LT, both with 2 batteries and charger and case.

add about 15 in freight for either to me here in Canberra

Bloody hell that must be close to their AIR powered wrench torques! I'm finding my 160Nm Bosch impact a bit lacking at times. Did someone mention a group buy?!!

Looks like there is a salesman up here who sells IR gear. Apparently, $799 and they have one in stock. Otherwise I might even risk a stateside purchase. Anyway, enough of me derailing this thread.

That's not bad. Get tools direct quoted me $860 but I can get one from a distributor in Sydney for $800.

Noticed the Kinchrome tools have changed a bit in style and dont seem to be as good as they used to be. (Have the new 14mm one compared to the old 14mm one I have)

Also the craftsman tools in the US look to have moved to be made in China and no longer as good as the old made in US ones.

Dunno about that. He also said the warranty in Kincrome's are a headache to process as the rep guy has to come in to take a look.. Whereas KC ones, the shop itself can replace the item the same time..

Guess what boys 'n girls? Went to Costco today and found this. $158 for 150 pc kit imperial & metric. 1/2 & 3/8 ratchets with lotsa sockets.

Spanners are pretty rubbish to be honest, but still worth it for to socket set IMO.

I also picket up this little 1/4 drive set for $30 cause it was so cute I couldn't resist.

Really wish I could have bought this but no money and no space.

    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done? 
    • Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.
    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
