Weld then balanced?

Wouldn't just welding it throw your balance out and do more harm then good if unbalanced?

Probably would..

I didn't just take to it with a MIG in my backyard, a very competent machinist welded it up and machined it back to suit the gears.

I would like to see someone weld up a drive in their back yard with the engine in the car

And then take to it with an angle grinder to precision machine the drive flats :laugh:

So ran into a couple if problems, the place I bought the cams off have sent the wrong ones they sent Neo cams and don't think I'll get replacements by next week so will have to go with STD f@#king cams. Plus couldn't source a .82 rear housing so looks like there's ganna have to be cutting and welding of exhaust mani

Well some good news, I managed to source a .82 rear housing so that should arrive within the next couple of days. But as for the cams, still no lucky.

Thanks Mate :)

There's delays getting it going there talking next Wednesday it should be ready for pick up. I'll have to look into some coil overs once I get it back :)

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
