Any chance someone has some dxf files for a Hilux disc brake conversion for AE92 calipers and s13 rotors? It's a simple flat plate conversion bracket, would be sweet to save some time by just getting some laser cut instead of starting from scratch though. Also has anyone had a hilux LSD modified by REMSD? They modified the clutch plates to have proper ramps. It's 950 plus gst and a exchange unit to get done so would like to get some feedback before pulling the trigger on one. Cheeeeers

My coupe is the same

Sweet that's kinda what I was thinking you would say. Now to do some research on a good respirator that will protect me but not rape what's left of my savings hahaha

Thanks for the replies guys. I just have one more question for the interior I'm stripping out the sound deadnening, cleaning any shit of the paint, giving it a quick scratch down then spraying it in the 2k durepox epoxy, would I need to apply a top 2k coat to this or would the primer provide enough protection?

Just after abit of advice here. I am currently repainting my AE85, iIve started by stripping all the paint off and addressing the rust issues. I have 4 Litres of Durepox 2k primer that im going to be using. From the research that ive done it seems that people recommend using the 2k primer over weld through primer, is this the case? There a few places like the internal windscreen channel that I have now exposed to fix some rust is it ok to just use the primer in there or will I also need to topcoat it to get better protection? Also regarding spray guns does it really matter the quality of the one your using if youre just laying down primer? Im trying to decide if I grab a $50 supercheap special or buy a Devilbliss kit from the states. Im hoping Spencer sees this as he seems to be like a wise old man regarding paint

He was online yesterday, so he is still active. I found his cellphone number on an old thread so I'll try get him on that. Will let you guys know the outcome

Ahhh perfect, cheers for that Al. Glad to know I wasn't imagining things

Hey guys, Any chance that any of you know someone that would be able to help remove a windscreen and two rear quarter windows from my ae85. The car is located in lookup in Gracefield and currently cannot be moved without a trailer... I thought I remembered seeing a post about someone in Wellington that could do this, but I've had no luck finding the post. Churr

What the finish stay like on vapour blasted parts say after a few years? I'm thinking about getting some parts done but would be pretty keen to put some sort of protective layer on them either clear powder coat or 2k clear. What have others used?

I'm pretty sure they drop everything in an acid bath first which should remove paint. One thing I've wondered about zinc playing is if you can mask off a piece to avoid it getting coated in zinc. Is this what you meant by wax paper? Also has anyone had any experience on getting really small parts done? I've got a few small m4 bolts and nuts that I would love to get plated.

How many beers have you had Bart?

So I rebuilded the oil pump on my 1200 as it was leaking and looked like someone had used clear silicon to seal it up. I pulled it to bits and ended up using a spare pump internals that I had as they were in better shape. I tried to bench test the pump and it didn't work too well so I thought I might not have been spinning it fast enough for it to work. I have it on the car now and have tried turning it over with coil lead off but haven't really seen any proof of it pumping correctly. Do oil pumps only start to pump once the motor is running or have I done something wrong? I understand that the pump has to suck oil up through the pickup tube so maybe just cranking an engine over does give it enough speed to be able to do this? Any thoughts on this would be super helpful! I don't want to start up a motor with a dud pump

Hi guys, I'm after some phosphoric acid to treat some rust on my floor pan before I paint it. Does anyone know who sells plain acid and not the typical rust kill mix? Cheers

Just seen a car on trademe that had its brake lines hidden in the engine bay. What's the cert requirements for changing them?

Thanks for the offer, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I might just post a picture with the dimensions I'm after
