RUNAMUCK

Looking sharp mate!

LD's are the pic of the L series motors in my opinion.

Wank factor. Nothing more. In truth they probably tale more power to drive, and due to increased weight, slow down the engines acceleration.

I have some braided line that I want to run from my nitrous and fuel soleniods, to the nitrous nozzle on my datto. But I need to get some female ends put on. -3AN one end, (fogger nozzle end) and -4AN on the other. (solenoid end)

The GC who usually hooks me up doesn't carry dash fittings at his work. So where can I get them done?

The lip at the top of the bore?

To waste that you need to use a different tool called a ridge reamer.

He is a shrewd racer indeed!

I think butler auto mart rents them out.

The secret to doing it good is to run the drill really slow that you can move it up and down fast enough to get the correct pattern in the bores.

Sweet!

Only bummer was facing Rex in the 1st round on elimination. (The days eventual winner)

Although the eliminated guys got more passes.

or the devil riding shotgun!

I dunno if it will apply to adjusties, but you can get a motorsport authority card from the NZDRA too. Probably cost less too.

fuck yeah, it was a sweet days racing!

I set a new best 60ft time, and equaled my old personal best before breaking an axle. All in all a thouroughly enjoyable day out.

How many came through the gate?

I find it interesting that the Southern car culture guys who ran winter skids asked mag and turbo if they wanted on board. They said no. Then when they had 1000 people through the gates on a fucking freezing winters night, they thought, hey, theres a buck to be made here and stole the idea. So instead of a bunch of well meaning people making a buck to put toward a skid pad, (how knows if they'll ever succeed with that?!) the coin has gone to an evil corporation that specialises in selling bling wheels to flat peak wearing ricers.

That said I do enjoy a good skid.

I just think the popo don't like it that people can build cars that go faster, and handle better than their shitbox commodores.

NigelWade,

Your story makes me miss the infinate stupidity of my youth. It also makes me glad I've grown up too. (and reminds me how lucky I am to have survived that long as well)

Have you got a wof for the be-arch yet mr dirty leppa?

I'd take an L6 motor over an RB20e any day. The RB20e is the biggest turd under the sun. (I should know, I daily one)

Firestone blenheim rd.

Chris (CUL8er) be the man to talk to there.

if a short run it is, go up gebbies pass to the sign of the kiwi we must. epicly lush hill climb right there.

Change fuse, then get a boe to switch on lights, while you check voltage at a headlight plug. If your meter shows a brazillian vots, then you know that your voltage regulator is coozed. Current alone shouldn't smoke you bulbs. It'd need to be a voltage spike. Checking with a meter is gonna be cheaper than buying new bulbs only to have them die also.

Datsun wiring is easier than getting drunk at a BBQ. So it wont be anything too hard to fix. Do the test with motor off and on. see what the voltage be doing with and without your charge system helping.

This is the second thread you've started saying how awsome this guy is. Was one not enough?

I wish all cars came with bolt on rear gaurds.

You have much work in front of you dude, I hope you have the passion to see it through. These old girls are supersweet!

We could keep on rocking round the bays, and come out in Akaroa. I did it once (coming the other way) in my old C20. There's quite a long stretch of gravel roads too!

Orton Bradly park can be a nice spot, but beyond there is some gay roads. (50kph speel limit, and built up area nowdays) I like roads with twissty turnys, a hundy kmh speed limit, and no other cunt around.

yup tis corrosive to many engine parts aint it?

Methanol can fuck most kinds of rubber, but the corrosiveness to metals stems from it's hydroscopic properties. (Sucks moisture from the air) For this reason it rapes fuel tanks with a vengance. (Fuck knows how that E85 shit works, must have a 5 minute shelf life)

VTNZ have a fail quota. Go there at your peril.

I love saying that in a loud voice when I'm getting wofs there on work stuff, and watch the look of dismay on the faces of the ohter cunts in the waiting room.

I don't think methanol leaves any residue. More likely, the methanol has drwn moisture from the atmosphere, which has corroded the carbs creating the residue you've found.
