    Happy to show you how to tig. I'm a bit rusty at the moment and getting used to a different torch set up then what I've been used to. If you've ever done gas welding then it's actually very similar.

    I've done turbo manifolds before. They usually come in around the $400 - $500 mark for labour only. That's not including cost of flanges, bends etc. Although turbo manifolds can be quite tricky and heavy wall pipe so extractors could be easier maybe? Never done a set of extractors before but keen to do a set. Would also be handy to test fit along the way to check clearances before it's fully welded. Happy to bargain, negotiate deals.

    I got a small workshop under the house and a flatish driveway where I do all my work. Cheers for the offer though.

    No I don't. Can get a lend of a pipe bender. Panel steel folder is on my list of handy stuff to make.

    I've got a copy of the MSNZ cages and roll bar section somewhere. Was going to do some rear strut tower supports on my silvia but decided against it. Heavier pipe is definitely easier to work with, just hurts more when you jam fingers.

    Haven't done cages but have worked with light/thin stuff. Keen to give it go. Have done heaps of pipe work, sch40 galv cage?

    Thought I'd bump this as I've been a bit bored lately. I've got my tig welder set up and can do stainless and mild steel at the moment. Will get another gas bottle soon so I can do aluminum. Happy to work for beer, sharns or exchange of services etc.

    I spy a shopping trolley with no motor.
  9. a.craw4d
    Fixed.

    Please fit wheelie bars and register it as a trike.

    I dragged a pellet around with bricks stacked on it. Worked a treat.

    1990 s13. I actially have most of the wiring done. Its just been sitting for about 10 years so like you I kind of need to spend the time to get my head around it again. I do remember laying the loom on top the motor and windscreen of mine and finding plugs that fit and seemed in the right place, It got easier the further along I got. What car is your loom from?
  13. a.craw4d
    Welcome to oldschool and cool car. Good luck with the wiring. I can offer no help here as I've got a silvia awaiting the same treatment. Maybe once you've sorted yours you can give me a hand?

    Who? He might still be looking. Turns out I'm tied up this weekend and of no help. Also it's a stainless manifold.
  15. a.craw4d
    You able to remove it yourself? Or is the car drivable? I could probably fix it if you could get it over the hill to helensburgh. Although cast iron manifolds don't really like being welded.

    Got this little fellow hiding in my garden. Gets around a bit. It's for a customer, I've just been holding on to it till it's nicely weathered.

    There's quite a bit of weld on them but it's mostly out of sight. Feels a little funny sitting in it bare foot though.
  18. a.craw4d
    Given random pieces of steel so made a seat.

    Love this van, Firm hand shake and pat on the back for a job well done. Maybe I watch too much youtube but I'd love to see this in action.

    @Kimjon Have you tried this on any of your chinese 49cc 2smokes? Opened up the intake with a drill and scraper. Did it to the go kart yesterday but can't test it as I've run out of 2t fuel. Was in a hurry and poured the rest into the tank without the fuel line attached. Bugger.
  21. a.craw4d
    Chuck a fake 3 point linkage/ wheelie bar on it to keep it tame but still have a laugh.
  22. a.craw4d
    Can you have other people in the car for this? Took the kids (6 and 3) in the highlands taxi back in september, they loved it.
  23. a.craw4d
    That sucks about having to remove all the timber lining for inspection. At least they could have told you when you dropped it off. Also re the radio, have you looked into the aux in, USB, Bluetooth kits? Think they are a unit that hooks up to older head units via the aerial plug or something like that.
  24. a.craw4d
    One last skid video then?
  25. a.craw4d
    Nice car. I used to see one of these every day while on the school bus in the 90's, was all white with color matched nissan teardrop wheels. Have had a soft spot for them ever since. What are you doing with the r32 front struts? I've got a pair of effed ones to test out on my silvia, if they fit ok then I'd like some good ones.
