alex, maybe dale can turn something on a lathe for you?

Good idea. I hear Dale's doing nothing these days anyway...

Lol, I'm a freaking bludger; all I do is sleep & whinge... :yucky:

We can have a look on Saturday mate, we just need to find how much room is needed from the back of the aperture.

Might be able to knock up a trial & see what works. :thumbsup:

yeah dale doesnt do anything except fabricate stuff for stagea people. isnt that his fulltime job??

Lol, AND I've been working for my Ceramic Coating mate in his workshop doing some performance fabrication; currently stuffing a 4AGE Turbo into a KE10 Corolla, and just about to start a 20 valve into a Sunbeam Alpine...

The Corolla is nearly finished; most of what I've been doing is modifying pipework to run a full plumb back blowoff valve setup (engineering requirement), and mounting an airbox under the passengers side front guard; as there's no room in the engine bay for anything at all.

Some pics of the KE10;

Lol, tonnes of room to the brake master. Hope the engine mounts are stiff!

Would be fun. What's the chassis like in those, stiff or soggy?

Yeah, I know; I wasn't involved at that stage, but it has very stiff engine mounts, they're based on a 4WD leaf spring shackle bush in a custom mount.

The front has been modified from a transverse leaf spring :blink: , to coilover struts with big brakes, and BIG swaybars front & rear; but I don't plan to go anywhere near it when it's finished.

It's going to be deadly.

Nice. :)

I fit a 1J into a T18 Corrolla for a mate a couple of months ago. No engineers cert required for that over here apparently. lol.

The T18 was a pretty ordinary handling car from the get go; must be a bit of work to make one go 'round a corner with a 1J...

I do like the way they sound though.

1J's that is... :whistling:

So less than 24 hours after getting the new wheels on, actually did some impromptu tarmac rallying...

Coming along a suburban street at night, in the dark, doing the posted limit (60), and all of a sudden the car hit a dip and got what felt like pretty serious air - felt like it cleared the second dip, and landed down on an angle, drivers side first. Classic rally style.

Wish there was photographer!

Car looks fine, no obvious damage. Woman and I were ok, I just had a headache from where my head hit the roof pretty hard.

Turned around to see why there wasn't a sign warning of the dip to see there was, but the council hadn't pruned the tree in front of it, and the sign was completely obscured when approaching from the direction I was approaching from. Other direction is fine, both signs are clear and obvious.

Will try to get it up on the hoist next weekend and have a proper look, but it feels and looks fine, so I'm hoping it hasn't done any damage to anything I can't see.

Far out! hope everything is good.

Anyone watching the streams of the LeMans 24hrs? shattered the deltawing got put out early. Never was competitive, but would have been good to watch it go round.

The sideswipe that put delta wing out was interesting. As was Anthony Davidsons back breaking crash. Poor guy.

What stream are you watching Alex?

      Starting again

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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)
