well nissan built my car for me :( I just fark it up.

mostly just for burnouts.

hahaha

no, my car is steadily becoming better on track, worse on street. but when i chose my next (track) car it will go back to being a street car.

I don't waste my money on silly things like modifying cars hsugh.gif

Me either.

But Seriously - this time round, I am just doing light stuff to my car using quality but value parts.

Eg: $600 Just Jap Cooler, $600 Just Jap Zorst, Jaycar Fuel Computer, $35 boost controller,

I just gotta work out a way to get a cheap turbo :)

well nissan built my car for me :O I just fark it up.

Word. Except my car is so stock I guess we should ask Mr Nissan what its built for because I haven't had much influence.

In the end I want a reliable (hahaha! I kill me!) and responsive street car. I don't expect it to be a daily driver. I want it to be something that I can jump into, find that piece of twisty road, and just have a blast. Were in not few a few issues at the moment that I don't have time to fix, it pretty much gives me that anyway but there is always the endless desire to improve bits and pieces.

Someday I would love to spend some time improving my driving on a track but I think I will select with something more mundance (read: cheaper) for that as GT-Rs seem to cost enough to keep on the road, let alone the track.

I built my car to beat MORGS one day lol

Nar really as a tuff streeter which i can take to the drags....... and one it will work with out having to keep handing over money every 5 mins

I just wanna see if a stock gtr can go OK. Well n1 turbs.....but the rest.

And if I can last more than 1 race weekend without a blown motor

And to make give Kel a shot to be the quickest chick on SAU around a track :P (Neil excepted of course)

Brett I heard you car is built for cruising the mountains atm?

DRIFT....fully sideways mate...fully......

hahaha

Ok seriously, drag racing doesnt really float my boat so im trying to build a more track oriented car. Having said that I probably will take it to the drags one day just to see what she can do and if I have the balls take it to a Fatz drift day and throw it sideways.....

oh and a bit of show as well.......yeah im a ricer....

    • 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)
