Put it between the throttle and blower. The liquid going through the lobes helps cool them, and also takes up a bit of the clearance between the lobes and the housing resulting in more flow and less heat. A backfire plate is a good idea, any backfire will only be short lived as you won't be injecting a huge amount of methanol. Plus I take it you will have the injector stop as soon as you shut the throttle, so when it goes bang and you shit, you will also shut the throttle and it's all good.

Been a year... Saved some money so going to do some earth works and concrete over the next few months. Done a bit of cleaning up. Been at it for hours. Yes, that is a sneaky tyre. Just jumped on there by itself.

You haven't mentioned the water pump? If you have good air flow it may be lack of water flow. The replacement radiator might have been an attempt to cure the problem that could be just low water flow? -

Next one Wednesday 26th October. Couldn't make it last week as Mrs popped out another child. Aka drain on my future car funds... Should be able to get a car legal over the long weekend and see you all there. No more cruising under the cover of darkness -
When you pull the diff, have a fuck about with the springs. Try change side to side, see if they hang on the piss. Might be able to correct it a bit.

Nice work on the gearboxes. You will have no problem drilling that hardened shaft. I ground a little notch in the surface then drilled that for easier starting when I did a similar thing.

Sounds like the piston is pushing out against the pad, but the seal is grabbing on the piston. If you have all the air out, go for a ride and hold a finger on the brake lever to get some heat in it. Give it a few pumps once it's hot and you should be right.

Yea check with a gas fitter who knows about caravans and stuff. I had a 30 seater bus in Europe for a few years which had a 30kg bottle in he back. I ran hose to the front and used an airline style quick connect fitting that was made for gas. Also had an outlet on the outside so I could sit the cooker outside when the air temp was 35 degrees plus.

Marcus @ Hamilton windscreens can make you a new screen. I forget the price, but it was somewhere around 1200 for them to make a mould from your existing screen and make you a new one, then they keep the mould but future screens are around 250-280. Might be worth doing if you can find some others who want a screen to spread the initial cost -
What mjrstar said. A second hand gt3540(also called gt3582r) from a coon will be sweet for a cheap starting point. Engines are nearly the same size so performance will be similar. I had one on my RFB 30det skyline and it was making over 20psi by 3000. How much power do you want to make?
-
First hand experience with those power assisted columns. They are great.Mate has one in race car. Can dial the knob to adjust the amount of assist. Or a bit of electrickery and a small circuit connected to the speedo and it adjusts as you speed up.
-
so its still registered? you should be sweet then. just de-register it there and then get a border inspection here, then vin and cert together
-
MAF might charge you to clean it. They did for me and it was already clean. When I looked in the places where they said they cleaned it there was no change. I paid around 800 for Vin inspection including 1 year rego and a new wof. Easiest way is to get it on the road there and then de-register it there. Then you will get a receipt thing from the w.a transport dept and you will have no hassles here. Make sure you tell the shipping agent you are going to register it here and you need a border inspection or whatever it is called. That is where your chassis number gets entered into the system.

Bit of maintenance post Nats. Things happen slowly round here. Hmm strange bonding rivets on this shoe. No wait, just screws. Thought it was about time I fixed the shoes up. Got me home from Nats via the wangamomonas plus done a couple thousand kms like this no worries. Bought a 4 speed column box the other day a day have located a 3.9 diff so should be top spec luxury cruising in no time. So next year basically.

Wipe it with greasy hands then half clean it with a rag/throw some dust at it.
