So if this Homo cruise isnt happening do you all wanna catch up for a feed on Sunday somewhere? Cruise to the bay for Pizza? Hoggies? Stroud Pub?

sounds good, but would prefer not to go to the bay.. going there tomorrow, then sat to service the car, then probably monday aswell..

Yep that is a fair call.... Not going to Newcastle etc so where else? Any decent food will do.... I dont mind if we go for a thrash out through paterson etc and find a pub?

Pub at Patterson

Two pubs at Dungog

One or two a Stroud

Or keep going to Gloucester ?

Hey guys,

I used to live in Newcastle but have moved to Tamworth, do travel back regularly though.

I am trying to track down some Splitfire packs to suit RB25 series 1. I am in town this weekend to get tuning done and tuner thinks we have a spark issue. If anyone has any for sale/loan let me know!

When it is tuned I am keen to come meet up for a cruise too.

Cheers,

Hey all

What's been happening

I've had a massive fail as the go kart still won't go. Sending it in for new loom and imputed so will see what happens from there

Had a win with one thing though I think but need to ask the smart persons in here a very important question.

Does anyone know what a sign with a white background black circle and a black diagonal line through it means?

I think I know but want to be sure.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the responses. We ended up finding a number of other issues and think the coils are fine now. Plenty of progress made, hopefully I will be back in about a month for some dyno time and then meet up for a boost!

My tuner is a guy called Brogan, we were just running around street tuning last weekend, but dyno is the next step. I've seen the potential now of my car so that will keep me motivated to keep working on the thing and spending money....

Where do people usually mount their gauges on 32's. The dash seems like it would be annoying to mount them on but i want to keep my stereo haha >_< Was looking at a set of Defi 60mm but really have no where to put them.

Got a little problem.

So reversed the gtr out of the garage on Sunday for a clean. Fuel pump made a funny noise priming, but started fine.

An hour later went to start it - cranks but no ignition. Fuel pump is priming normally, no unusually noises from engine and visible wiring problems. I pushed it back in the garage as I had to head out.

Anyway, tried to start it again this arvo - started first go. Turned it off, started first go again.

This has got me a little puzzled. Any ideas what cause the lack of ignition?

was it a cold morning? could had a bad join somewhere that stopped plugs firing?

I always look at spark plugs/leads/coils first when those are the symptoms. specially if you heard the pump going.

    • 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)
