Third, but I wouldn't have the torque to get it moving in third unless I rode the crap out of the clutch. Your torque converter helps a lot with that. So that's probably close to what mine will run.

Yer kinda, it's only a standard stall ATM (and its really bad putting that much load on it as u can ballon it lol) so it literally wasn't even off the converter forever so it was just a pathetically slow half track followed by it weirdly starting to pull hard from half track. Would of looked messed up from outside, weird sounding skyline that only has one gear lol

Indeed very interesting. Join us!

I did last years drag day, my first and only so far. my car was dead stock other than a cat back exhaust, no mad weight reduction. best I got was a 14.3

Now that I've done the usual cheap bolt on mods I'd be very interested to see the difference.

Launching is key to a good run, especially in a stock car.

I'll see if i can find my time slip :)

Yours isn't the white r33 with the Lmgt1/2s on it that was roliling around at power cruise last year?

Ah ok man they shouldn't be to hard to find, just look for the yellow bloody 34 making all the noise/flames lol. But yer that'd be sick ill see how the day progresses its been over a year now since I was on track at a powerplay/cruise type event there. Was good fun lol (was also in a boaty old xd falcon with all the go and none of the stop/brakes/grip :thumbsup:

No that was my mate with that car, plates were HYPD UP.. Nice car made 450hp at the rears, motor was capable of a lot more though. He has since traded it. This is mine. Was at powercruise last year and powerplay back in FEB.

I'd give u a lift but Im not going and couldn't take u home, but if u spray hairspray on a pen stain before u wash it the stain will be removed easier so you see that's 2 non helpful things but one helpful therefore I beat zeke :P

Oh nice :). I'm in Petrie.

However, unless you change your mind about the lift home, or unless someone else offers me a lift home, I'll have to pass.

For a gobbie I can probably give you a lift home ;)

    • 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)
