    Was talking to my painter mate about the new Mazda reds. he said the water base is pretty much pink metallic and the clear then has a tint to give it the vibrance. definitly a cool colour!

    Picked up some acid etch. $58 for a 2L kit. Sprays super thin. was hot today so just started with light coat from front to rear, then straight back to front again and kept doing that till it was all used up. Left it looking pretty blinging! started on the 2K black where the gun packed up. Only spraying like an air brush it took hours to get one coat. Then the needle seal gave out and started spraying paint out the top of the trigger covering me. Continued on as I was already to far gone. Had about 80% done where it then decided to work properly, did a couple strokes and let off the trigger and it stayed on full tit so I just kept going and did a whole pot in one go without the trigger coming unstuck. What a fucking disaster! Least it’s had a full coat. And my mate that’s an actual car painter said he’ll head over and sort it for me haha fuck my life

    Also. acid dipping ended up being 250 cash as it was 150mm to long for the tank so had to sit for some days then swap ends for a couple more. hot galv was 316.25 all up inc gst so $566.25 all up for the full treatment. That’s with me removing everything my self. not bad considering most coatings places wanted around 2K and that’s just a sand blast and spray 2K under seal. Where the sand blaster can’t reach they just spray cav wax, not actually removing and rust that’s formed. in saying that, it’s a lot of work to fully strip a chassis, but for a 4WD that gets driven through salt water it’s justified. Galv has formed well inside the chassis rails so I’m pretty happy with it

    Time to get the taps out.. picked up my air comp from a mate so I’ll hopefully spray it at some point over the next week

    Nice work! Cheers

    Hoist question, I’m wanting to put one at mine but would need to be outdoor on slab like yours. what did it cost you? You get a company to do all of it and sign it off? dose the hoist need a cover or is it fine outside? cheers
  8. Ashkellybarr
    Hopefully pick this up this week or next. spray it 2K black like everything else and done. only thing stopping me now from bolting everything together now is rust cuts in the cab

    Cheers! Guys on an off-road forum said there was a guy in Invercargill that put a b18 into a MU, went to all the effort only to find he had 5 rev gears and 1 very very short fwd gear. joke was “their all a bit backwards down there” someone said he swapped the diff centres around and it was sorted.

    Dip it is. 200 in folding it’s far cheaper then sand blasting. should be ready end of next week where it’ll go off to the electro platers

    Put the bypass after intercooler dont over spin, just run what he has and use the control to help with load down knock. didnt know the sc14 ran a stepper motor either
  12. Ashkellybarr
    Yeah can find the rpm specs online for them. good point about the heat though. if the charger was recirculating on it self and not causing pressure in the intake would it still create a lot of heat though? I was more thinking about lowering pressure at low rpm to help with his high comp issue...?

    Brain wave.. was just taking to a guy on FB that wants to get rid of his Ethrottle and run more boost. Already has g4 plug and play. e throttle and charger feeds it self. I know you only have an MS but I think link make external throttle controllers as expansions for their ECU’s witch you might be able to get to work?? just get any scrap yard throttle off a Yaris or jazz or the likes

    I wouldn’t get to fussy. Be more focused on the boot sealing well to make sure nothing gets in there. we’re had some guys at work put the wrong grease in robots that spec high grade lithium. Meant to get changed once a year or every 10khrs... a lot out there go waaaay past that with the wrong grease and tbh we’ve never had an issue

    Nice work man! I really like the Gbox cross member
  16. Ashkellybarr
    Yup that the one

    Every factory PD blower I’ve seen runs a bypass. Comy v6 tun a small 25mm one built into the housing. Toyota run an external plastic one that works as a wastegate effectively. cheap way of doing one is using a late model VW bypass, in their system they use it as a plumb back blow off valve. Can be bought fit around $25 and work perfect

    Excuse the palm ive been slowly killing. Bastard got in the waste pipe Put lunch and beers on and got the cab off. Debating weather to acid dip or sand blast still. ill give it a water blast and get all the lines and shit off it 8CDBB3D6-F2DE-4E90-B4A9-2034D84EF311.png

    Sweet I’ve got 3” straight of the turbo for the down pipe, reduces into 2.5 just past the bottom of the fire wall. Hard case fuel and brake lines are on the inside of that chassis rail. might need to relocate them while its all a part..
  20. Ashkellybarr
    Superchargers are pretty hard on them at low rpm witch is most of the issue i remember talking to marsh about his engines and he said with PD blowers he gets them as close to 8:1 as he can. in saying that though, that’s on carb v8’s with odd intakes. multi point injection has huge jump on that tuning wise personally I’d be pretty gutted if you ditched the charger
  21. Ashkellybarr
    Think 2.5” would be to small for a 2.4L turbo with 10:1 comp and high rpm?

    RB guys double up head gaskets...

    Took it down the end of the rd and pulled some alright donuts. Plenty of torque! Falls flat at WOT and high rpm so he’s gonna get a lift pump in the tank witch should sort that. gets a lot of looks sounding super diesely and spooly ok it down the en

    Kinda like the auto idea. Using a modern altezza one is good idea. Just wonder if it has a controller or not?
  25. Ashkellybarr
    Actually? So the only reason I had to change the cluster in the other cars was the speedo. The letter from the mechanic was just to explain why the od reading is way off???
