will get me out of trouble, where the f**k sells these things???

i have stuff at work but nothings really right.

will probably get away with air fittings if i use enough thread tape.

Dude don't be a tight ass as you will regret it, if it comes loose or fails you can not only kill the engine but dump oil all over your rear tyres and put it into a wall.... Sorry for the lecture, but do it right man :yes:

Matt, just read your comment on the jb clutch.

Haven't driven with my yet, but engaging/disengaging = worlds of difference. Just more feel to it already with the modified spring.

I haven't driven it properly, just cruised around the streets to bed the suspension in ready for the alignment tomorrow... Cars running like shit :/

Clutch is amazing, flutter is hektic uleh and gate is loud :D

its not a matter of being a tight ass, its that id be paying half of what i paid for everything for something worth 5 bucks. its a simple piece that should be common as. i think ill check out a few other places on wednesday as he only looked through like 10 boxes of stock :S

Ok so the sandwich plate goes between the filter and thread that the filter screws onto. There's a hole in the sandwich plate for the original thread to go through. The hole in the plate is also big enough for a round fitting to screw onto the old thread, that centers the plate and tightens it at the same time from the hex that is between the female and male threads.

The male thread is on the other side of the hex that sticks out of the sandwich plate for your filter to screw down to

As seen here. So f**kin easy yet no one has one :(

It's just a female to male extension of the same size and I bet my old workshop would have one :(

I just found out pirtek is in Cardiff so they may be able to help. Also Gunna hunt for one on eBay now

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
