Yep have been doing a re-tooling. Feel guilty for the old sidcrome. Have had her for 25yrs, and was second hand then. Thought the kinchrome was pretty close to R33 gtr-lm spec championship blue.DSC_0290.JPG.2da6d7e527486b1461488b13ed0ee351.JPGDSC_0291.JPG.248a9ed41cfc8c91729f6b61c1a2269b.JPG

This a nice piece of kit

Hope the tools work the same in a different box. Might loose their experience? All the drawers undone for reasonably rude replies? Kizza?

Cant beat getting into a nice pair of draws, remember if there matching... she decided not you!!!

The box is too gd to have at work, some asshole will only scratch it. I keep most of my gd stuff at home, just take the gd stuff i need in. Ideal for working on cars at home.

Thats soo true leave a loose spanner around for 5mins n it gets flogged off.

My dream is to have a 1001pce tang toolbox at home and at work i find the 2nd hand shop ( deceased estate) not that bad as thay are old quality tools with rust on them dont feel bad if it breaks rusts scratched dents or go's walkabout [emoji4]

The best hammers I have are from my pops shed and a heap I bought off a old English fellow at the markets who was also a sheety by trade. They don't leave dents in sheet metal. Nice flat faces. $5 bucks each and we talked tin bashing and the Beatles for a hour. Learned my trade from a old aussie fitter and Turner and a 60yr old English sheet metal worker. He used to make panels for old cars on a English wheel and sand bags with a wooden mallet. Could pull any solid geometry out of his brain but couldn't explain it much. He just knew what to do:-)

Theres not many people like that any more

I knew one in Brisbane and worked for him for a bit. It was great watching him shape panels and massage dents out

Dad is a electrical engineer and ended up doing computer programing converting all the gas turbine and power generation from analouge to digital to harness the information. Watched him build a boat out on the patio doing all the solid geometry 3rd angle projection [/img]and patterns bending and shaping the wood when I was a boy. He got me into the Nissan's when they were racing the hr31 gtsr and the gt-r took over in 1990.for Jim Richards to win the championship.Was all ford's up till then. Cams put 200kg on the 32 and limited them to 1.3bar when the coswoth Sierra was running 2.8bar. Nissan ran a huge motor sport program in the 80's early 90's in Australia. Exa series bluebirds George fury etc. Fred Gibson motor sport wanted to run in Japan at Fuji and Suzuka but Nissan said no.we do not want to be embarrassed. Rwd switch off the line so wouldn't snap half shafts. 1 4wd setting for dry and 1 setting for wet. The fastest gt-r s in the world from Australia. Skaife and Richards recond up to 700'hp on full boost.

When the 1.3bar rule cam in nissan moved into multiple cylinder tuning.  Each cylinder had its own fuel and ignition trim. So when they had it all figured out they actualy made nore horsepower than they did befor lol and for the endurance races they knocked the boost back to 1bar. They could safley get 4000 racing kms out of there rb26 @ 800hp in the early 90s.....most of the time they ran in rwd only but in the wet they actualy configured it to run 60/40 front bias to gelp pull the car out of the corner instead of pushing it out. 

P.s, ur dad sounds like a legend!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
