RUNAMUCK

I'm toying with buying a pair of nice skinny tyres from auckland somehwere. Anyone from up round there rocking to the nats who could bring em down for me? I can just justify buying them, but freight will rape it for me.

Anyone?

Sounds like your front seal is fisted.

When you pull it out, also check the neck of the converter for wear on the seal journal. A new front seal wont be that expensive. it'd cost a bit more to have the converter neck replaced.

What can happen when a trans gets too hot, is the seals go hard and then begin to leak.

I had a val once with a fucked front seal. If I botted it or towed with it, or drove it up hills it would spit all it's oil out and lose drive. It spat out 5 ltrs of oil going up the Takaka hill. (And burned another 2 in the engine too)

Find the leak, and pull off the pan. A pan full of metal/lining material = find a new trans.

Plus foam is more restrictive that cotton gauze.

If you go look at one Liam, take me to look at it with you. I've wrecked quite a few vals, and am quite familair with where rust/what fucks out.

I used a center punch to undo those bolts usually.

iv got a good one mate

That wouldn't be an A12 datsun head by chance would it?

Grant?

The forecast is poos, which is ghey.

That would get too sweaty. Plus it would lull you into a false sence of security. With no seatbelts in the back, you'll need to be held in your seats by the clutching of your butt cheeks in terror. (thats an actual quote from a freind of mine who once rode in the back seat of my old 1200 coupe with the exact A15 in my car now. except before it was supercharged.

If you cunts is lucky, I'll fit a radio and a heater to the beast over easter.

Sweet Val bro.

Where'd ya score that chrysler blue engine paint from?

It's fucking good to see another mopar on the forum.

Do a skid!

I was told by the guy who sold it to me that the accel cool blue cotton gauze filters flow more than the K&N.

That said I've spend more to gain less before.

How Ironic. My 1200 needs thousands of hours/dollars of panel work too. It's raw and nasty. I'm gonna bring some earplugs for the hapless souls who roll with I.

Don't fall off.

Best tip ever.

Alrrrrriiiiiiiiiight. SO!

Will there be space in anyone's car for me to get a lift back from Nats -> CHC and then I'll sort out getting a bus or something from there.

As discussed by txt today Ky, if we chuck some luggage on andys ute for the return trip, there'll be a spare seat for you in the 1200.

I saw one of these vans on saturday which had had an RB20det fitted to it. It had to have a custom plenium made for it to clear the seat.

I figured gas was the responsibility of the persons traveling in each vehicle.

I don't have a shit show of carting that motor sorry KK. Dirty old Andy Gal has a ute though..........

I'd take some extra brake fluid too. A car that old is almost certin to have leaky wheel cylinders. (Unless it's been well maintained)

I feel you should Hemi my good man. The dodgyer you look, the more you'll draw attention away from my pig bait shit heap. lol

Plus thursday is less sus than friday.

Exellent!

I don't have a build thread! lol

I've been meaning to start one since ages ago.

None of you sad bastards down for some convy "A" action?

It means an extra night OTP.

Alcohol wouldn't pass my lips KK! (Except on days that end in a y)

I'm thinking of taking an extra coil outta the fronts. I might need to borrow some wheels with smaller tyres for the rear. The 205/60/13's get raped by the guards with a load on. Hopefully leppas meshies will clear. It does look pretty sweet since I fitted the blocks to the rear.

Not in that PCD sorry.

Decent chance I wont be racing. I can't afford to fuck my car so close to the nats. I've broken stuff two outta my last three outings there. Probably head out for a look though.

A few of the NZdatsun crowd have used silway panel and paint. They're someone out of town though I think?
