This snorkel template is shite. I don’t wanna drill the guard haha
Is it round? Masking tape the paint. Put the 1/4" hole through first before the holesaw so it doesn't grab and pull on the thin metal. A 1/4" shaft in the holesaw will be better than a drill to stop wandering. Hold the drill at the required angle, high pressure low revs. trefolex rtd or any lube. Whalla. Quality holesaw and arbour a must.
morning kunce!!!
 
So, today is the 20th wedding anniversary (insert joke here about less time served if I had murdered instead of married etc)
apparently 20th is China, so the decision is, intercooler or pit bike?
Congrats dale, we hit the 20th this year, f'ing long time mate. By chance availability and what not I married the wife on her birthday. 1 gift to rule them all. Never forget because my mum msgs me All birthdays a week before;-) show us your mum;-)
U can still get them cheap if ur willing to buy a bit of a dog. I look at around 10 cars befor i brought my last one. Im in no rush so il do the same again till i find a yellow one


Fyp brah

Came with a hole saw. Ran a 1/4 pilot them bam!

Drilled through the template slowly then added more pressure as it went through metal. Paint all good right up to the edge

This thread appears to get the most WA Traffic 

anyone selling some 275 / 40 / 17 drag radials in WA, prefer Mickey Thompson ETs 

also after a set of 33 GTR rims, or any legit jap rams in 17x9 +20 or so 

 

Cheers,

Just whoop ass Wednesday mate, 

 

I don't live in Australia, however I am back for a few weeks shortly so wanted to give it a nudge on radials. 

Have had josh at Galvsport doing some testing while i am OS. 

So plan is to do a pass on the AD08s to match Josh's time 

Racewars 

then bolt radials on to see how we go.  

Result from Josh's testing below

We went away last week and the fridge in our van held food for 3 days plus a bottle of champagne and 40 beers.

Should be big enough I reckon



Trying to plan a shake down 2 night stay thinking Collie end of March and take the pups got any hidden spots I should know about?

Glen Mervyn dam, Minninup pool (and sandy bay right next door)

Mebbe even head out towards the power station and take a look at Stockton Lake?

However -  there is a track running from the highway (before the cemetry..) near the biblimum track called "Collie Scenic Drive" that takes you along the river towards the back of Collie towards minninup pool etc, and it has a crapload of perfect little camping/marroning/swimming spots. Dunno why its not better signposted, just watch out for dudes on dirt bikes :)

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
