Went to the Hare and Forbes sale today and pickup up a thread insert set and a bush driver set. Could have spent a small fortune...

I was in there today as well. Bought that llarge HSS drill set, some 125mm soft jaws for the vice and also that nice step down drill set. It was very busy today, lots of wide eyed adults looking like they were kids in a candy store.

At the risk of taking my own thread off track.....

I'm a huge supporter of china shit tools.

Basically having the right tool for the job is always better than having a top quality wrong tool and using it in the wrong way. For me a good example is that I could afford a H&F press, drill press etc that I would never to be able to afford in a quality brand. And frankly if I use it once a month it really doesn't matter if it fails on me quicker than a good quality one. I wouldn't look at it the same way if I used it every day for business

That rule doesn't always hold for me of course; in particular common things like spanners, ratchets etc that I use more regularly I buy mid quality to save my knuckles....

This, except for stuff that tends to break - circlip pliers, quarter inch drive sockets, easy outs....

I was looking online and Masters have a Felo Ergonic Screwdriver Set 6 Piece for only $40

http://www.masters.com.au/product/100884747/felo-ergonic-screwdriver-set-6-piece

That is really cheap

Went and checked them out today. The exact same ones but a 5 piece set was nearly double the price.

There was two sets left after I grabbed a set if anyone was interested. The chullora store.

ive had a few sets of felo screwdrivers, they are definitely worth the money. i used them everyday as a sparky with no dramas. only ever had one break and that was the terminal flathead and only after a retarded apprentice used it to lever a 2mm thick bit of tin out of a 20mm holesaw.

Made another simple Cool Tool today for the purpose of removing and fitting Lower Control Arm Bushes in the R31.

Not my idea but it works well and hopefully it will be just as good for the Trailing Arm Bushes. We shall see...

Piece of pipe, Threaded bar with nuts, Washers from some R31 Castor rods. Priceless.

    • 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.
