Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

That place is stupidly expensive. I got new stainless socket caps for the valley cover plus some other M6 and M8 stainless socket caps for $15 from my local bolt shop.

true, but I'm sure they will ahve the sizes that no one else has, and colours

Expensive. Yes. very very high quality good products and a phenomenal online range also yes :yes:

this

or just try Bunnings. You'd be surprised what you can find as quality bolts at very good prices.

Bunnings and Supercheap have a really poor range thats hard to find what you want, and their "high tensile" is very poor at best, be very cautious when using them where strength is required.

having said that, they have been helpful for basic bolts and bits and nicnacks

I also buy from USA military surplus fastener stores - mi spec, any pro will tell you fasteners aren't just fasteners :)

It amazes me how many people use ARP studs without an understanding of why and what makes them better.

My brother in in the airforce in Newcastle. the materials and toys he has on hand are amazing....and that's with a dodgy AU government military budget

Why?? Helping people even in the smallest way is a start :) giving blood is a good way, cos you help save 3 people with as little at 400ml blood. That's all they take. Painless and you get free food

You forget? I can't stand needles (think faint/vomit/me-def-no-likey). Fully appreciate those that can do it, but I definitely am not one for sticking my arm out for a positively terrifying experience :no:

fastersners aren't exactly in the same league as studs though

True that, which is why I separated the two sentences. The studs example was to indicate something easy and tangible that people can relate to as an easy SAU relevant example.

The most important part to the ARP answer is high quality material that has material data testing sheets containing stress diagrams, rolled threads and limited twisting during torqueing that gives a more consistent reading.

And as an engineer Peter knows all of this all too well :D lol

Nuts, bolts, studs and fasteners are actually pretty interesting, so much engineering involved.

almost conned him into building me a Titanium airbox......but then he realised how big the sheet had to be :(

There's a really good friend of mine in Amberley, who's an avionics tech in the RAAF. He got the guys to fabricate an amazing battery holder from Titanium - Best I have ever seen. Those guys know there shizz.

He's a Forum member, but cannot access his old defence email to log on again. Pity, he's an invaluable source of info.

See if you can get the sheet from these guys for him to fabricate http://www.performancemetalsaustralia.com.au/

Should I fit an rb26/30, rb25/30 or just an rb30 - This clip makes you reconsider :)

as just pure drag car sure.......for street car.........think il go that with that white 1200whp Lambo

Lambo very nice, but this is looking pretty tasty to me at the moment:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
