  1. You need Milwaukee m18 batteries x2.
  2. The diff i saw was in that Hayabusa mini ute thing that slightly eccentric English guy built....... the one that builds weird mini based shit anyway it was all certed.
  3. You can buy adapter flanges that replace the chain sprocket so you can bolt up a driveshaft direct to the engine for rearwheel drive. Another cool trick ive seen is using a Nissan R200 Lsd diff ditching the crownwheel and pinion and replacing it with the chain sprocket two small holes in the back cover of the diff cover for the chain to come thru and your away, the car i saw with this setup had a small ring gear sandwiched in as well with a starter motor so you could reverse.
  4. Was probably run on gas at some stage carb will likely be full of crap and every gasket will be dry as toast. If you can find a second hand carb would most likely help a lot.
  5. XZIBIT probably driving yo dawg i hear you like telstars........

    Turbo sizing?

    Forgot to mention i have a uncle who races a class 1 offroader with a 4.2 litre ecotech so i get all his expensive parts deemed not up to his standards as in something newer and more expensive has come out and he must have it. His makes just under 300kw naturally aspirated so turbo'd should be a doddle with a few cast off speed bits from him.

    Turbo sizing?

    Two of everything if i twin turbo it. Cant be assed with two manifolds wastegates turbos oil drains and oil lines and the exhaust it all adds up quickly in time and money. I kind of want it to be lazy for daily driving yet be able to scream when you mash it. Ive already done brakes diff and wheels first so this is the final thing to complete my dream shitter.

    Turbo sizing?

    Would love to twin charge it but then i would still need the supercharger intercooling setup before even thinking about which is a whole lot of money. Reality will prevail this time.... unless i hit big Wednesday then all bets are off.

    Turbo sizing?

    If i hit 300kw I'd be over the bloody moon. If i could turn it back down with a switch to 175kw to maintain a licence happier again, internal wastegate would definitely simplify everything just found a stainless set of single turbo headers on Ebay for around 600nz delivered.

    Turbo sizing?

    Was thinking xr6 turbo was proof of concept 23psi! Jeeze thats huffing..... hitting ebay now guessing oz would be best place to look for used falcon parts.

    Turbo sizing?

    Im at the point of diminishing returns with my blower it needs intercooling to make more power theres options none are cheap 2500k upwards and then you have one boost all the time swapping pulleys all the time doesn't float my boat either. Was hoping a big single would be tractable but give it some long legs as at moment it's all punch but run it thru the gears and the power trails off due to everything getting so damn hot.

    Turbo sizing?

    Hey trying to figure out a turbo for my rolling vx commodore project its a v6 supercharged one so am looking to pull the blower off and make up some steam pipe headers. Keen for a big single with head room to huff 18psi realistically it wont see much more than 5700 rpm to make it last, can tolerate a bit of lag but be good if its at full boost by 3000rpm. The old M90 will likely find itself on a triumph once this has been ticked off.
  13. I had the pulsing pedal with my commodore and occasional Abs light come up, new rotors fluid and pads cured it. Perhaps your rotors might be worn below the minimum tolerance allowing the pads to travel to far and get skewed in the caliper when braking. Off brand rotors are dirt cheap if it is the cause.

    PAINT THREAD

    Resene vinyl etch and water based enamel works a treat with a fine dacron roller. How do i know? Ive done my trailer in it the poor thing gets abuse and the paint is holding on like shit to a blanket. You will need to experiment with the etch it dries ultra fast as its solvent based.
  15. Go for the one thats the most serviceable a torch thats replacable consumables you can optain easily. My welder is a 180 amp it blazez 4mm steel non stop for a good 30 minutes before the "im spent" light comes on. if your not building trailers with steel decks the smaller one will likely be easier to live with providing its controls arent to basic.
  16. Mitsi enthusiasts prefer the term combined cycle combustion they use petrol oil and water all at once. Maybe thats the 3 star deal, pencils to sattelites mitsi do it all.
  17. Paper cert dies with the plates was what i found with my triumph ute. It all got very expensive to re-register a fine piece of 1980's brazing and bog sculpture work.
  18. I calibrated a Hitachi rattle gun that was used to tighten wheel nuts on a v8 touring car at the end of the season found it averaged 17nm. Scary shit. One of shitter maybe? Not sure. Thank god they hit it with a torque wrench after nucknucking.

    HQ 308 exaust

    Mainly its because ive had this exact setup on my commodore and it gives good results and ground clearance. 3 inch is bigger of course so everything is bigger and harder to thread around things. Ive driven an Hq with twin three inch right thru and it caught in everything which quickly wrecked the headers.

    Could that be interpreted as they may be fitted but have to be capped and fitted with fittings that require a tool to remove? Eg nuts and spring washers to pass Cert and warrant of fitness.
  21. You say from Auckland? I know a weirdo out there who restores them with used holden parts. Any chance it was out Albany ways?
  22. You haven't lived till you have done 3rd overdrive one wheel peels. You shall need to be wearing a triumph motorcycle logo belt buckle and faded texas tuxedo to pull it off successfully.
  23. The good thing with triumphs is everything craps out within the first few months of ownership. After that they are usually as reliable as a wood burning stove.... change the oil condenser and points and plugs and you will have a happy machine just dont do burnouts, they can do epic burnouts but your diff will reward you with throwing its spider gears at the worst possible time.

    A 2 chamber Flowmaster will be plenty loud and sound fantastic you wont be dissapointed a 3 chamber will still sound fierce but be a bit quieter however 3 chamber flowies are a huge muffler you might struggle for space. Go twin 2.5 inch into the muffler then single three inch over the diff.
  25. I do its clocked up an easy 20,000ks no issues.
