read this a few days ago..

what a dickhead - with a blatent dis-regard for the speed limit like this - id be happy to see people lose their licences for good.

all the people on the 'skylines are for hoons' bandwagon need to remember 'it's not the cars fault but the driver.'

also - welcome to SAU

though im guessing not a skyline enthusiast..

lol fact is she was in a cab..

you were in a gtr.

people who feel the need to yell things out to make themselfs feel better have already lost.

ive had bogans call stuff out before - obviously the smashing @ bathurst in the early 90's still haunts them!

ironic that so many are so proud to be australian yet they go and throw chevy badges on their holdens hey?

lol, yeah, but the chick was hawt though.

the gtr's a legend, but sadly i know nothing about the history of that car, not much anyway. All i know is, that its awesome.

Entirely correct. It is the hoons that choose the car they drive. Not that i can say anything, was going 110km/h today in 100km/h zone. But then again, the more power a car has, the more you want to squeeze it.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
