If you get it Alex, I'll donate $20 towards the cost of recovering it. I wanna see it fixed, and back on the road...................

Vernon and vazey? Did you say you wanted to buy me beer?

If your oil pressure is indeed shit when the oil is warm, lucas heaavy duty oil stabiliser is your friend. Is the oil pump an external thing on your engine? If so, (And if the car has been designed so you can remove it without removeing the engine first) it might not hurt to check the releif valve is okay, or even check your pump clearances.

QFT! That place was my second home for a while. They had about a dozen datto's and Vals, and all kinds of other treasure. I rang there to ask about something, and they'd been bought out by all cars(?) and they scrapped all the old stuff. I was almost in tears.

Lots of old cars ran + Camber to make the steering lighter. Datto's and Vals being among them. Huge can of worms.........

Could be a dead Coil pack?

I dunno about Safe R doing bigger stuff or not. But He does good work at a fair price.

I'm talking bout the bit on the end with the smaller spline. ONe input goes all the way through the center into the viscous cartidge. If he has CV shafts, then it's no hass to butcher the inner one apart, and swap it for the two peice later model (R32 etc) and fit the 3x2 (etc) inner input flanges. Without the extra spline, the diff will just be open. In a car that rocks UJ's the viscous caridge drive part needs to be welded, or otherwise attached to the input.

What car do you have Zips? The other thing which has been ommitted from this sweet sweet how-to, is that one of the input shafts needs to have the longer input, which includes the smaller splined section at the end to engage into the viscous cartridge. If you already have CV halfshafts, then no problem. If you're still rocking dirty old UJ's, then it's a bit more fucking around.

I pretty sure that that's refering to adapters which change the pcd, not the number of studs.

Yeah thats them.

Maybe go speak to the guys at (Name escapes me atm) on columbo street. (One block north of brougham on the corner) They do lots of holden tuning/remapping.

That rule of nine shit is awesome. My manual is absolutely filthy with oil on the page with the order on it. Now I'll never need to refer to that again.

How long the cord needs to be, or how long I'll need it for? I'll have to ask dad all the deets bout the grinder.

I don't have my book here with me, but my Haynes manual for my datsun A series gives you a sequence to follow. That way you're adjusting each tappet while the follower is smack bang on the back of the base circle of the lobe. The above method wouldn't quite as accurate. IE, with the cam spinning at half crank speed, at TDC the exhuast lobe is less than a quarter camshaft rotation from begining it's opening event. That'd mean the follower may not (depending on the grind) be at 180* from the center of the lift sie of the lobe.

Lots of win!

Oil heavy duty oil stabiliser is your friend, my friend. I hope you have a spare pinto sitting on an engine stand in preparation for whats coming next..........

I ran into fueling problems with 6mm line with 125hp@tw.

Legend! Yeah, I've got my grill almost finished. And nah, I'd rather wind a rusty corkscrew up the eye of my cock than pay someone to do something I can do myself.

I can confirm that welded axles don't enjoy longevity with slicks and VHT. Although mine were only the thinner H165 axles.

As above. I need to power up a serious bench grinder. It has a buffer wheel on one side of it. I want to buff the living fuck out of some parts of my Valiant grill prior to having them rechromed. Only thing is it too heavy to move on my own/too much stuff in the way to move it into range of the plug. And the cord is too short to reach. I'd like to have this car within striking distance of being on the road in the next 9-10 weeks. And this is a stumbling block in the way. I say within striking distance, since I've been building this car since 1995. But it really needs fuck all to get there.

It'll be some bottom feeding parasite who has a key that works in ulsars I'd say.

Whats this AA shit? Not being 100% sure you're going to make it under your own steam adds to the excitement. Sure Pete needed it last year. Just don't let Dave drive your car and you'll be fine.

I dunno what they are sorry. A bloke at work has a fourth one I was going to buy to make a set. I'll have to swing a tape over them sometime.

I have a set of three tridens if you're interested? lol
