RUNAMUCK

undo the four bolts, then bolt the drum on backwards and smack it with a deadblow hammer.

at a pinch you can undo the nut, but not remove it completely. Then place a jack under the nut with just enough lift under it that the car has only just moved up 2-3mm. Then get a length of pipe, and rest it on the top side of the arm. Then beat the fuck out of it with a BFH. This works sometimes. I use it on valiants, but I use a valiant torsion bar, which has big(ish) hex's on the ends.

But if you do try this, you MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST have the shaft of the steering box supported. Otherwise it will dent the fuck out of your worm and make your steering all notchy and shit. Also the cars suspention will compress and take al the shock out of the blows too.

Not best practise, but can do the job.

It's pretty easy Aye!

Plus the tech inspector is a GC too.

I think I may have seen one of them in CHCH one time. (driving in traffic) They'd be a rare animal here in NZ.

Drags saturday October 2nd.

Gate entry $10 (including racers) $40 carload of 5 (kids under 12 FREE)

Racer entry $40 + $20 day license (or $75 for a 12month NZDRA sportsman license)

Enter off Leggits rd.

gates open 12pm

Racer entry/scrtineering ends 1:30pm

Practise from 1:45pm

racing 2:30pm

To race you'll need;

Helmet- In reasonable condition

WOF & REG

A Radiator overflow bottle that can't spill coolant onto the track.

Two accelerator return springs for carburated cars

Sensible footware.

IF, you have no wof or reg and still want to race, PM me promptly. I'll give you the number of an NZDRA aproved tech inspector here in CHCH. For a fee (I think it's $30) He'll inspect your car. (like a basic safety check, but waay easier than wof, don't even need an exhaust system) Then you send away the form you get to the NZDRA and you get a log book which lasts 12 months. (log book costs $20-$30 I think)

IF you want to do this, do it soon! If you need to get your log book on the day at the track it'll cost you $50. It's well worth doing if your car spends lots of time with no wof or rego. Or if it's too modified to pass a wof.

See you there!

Seeing your build thread again gets me amped up to work on my VG. I reckon mine would be the slowest build on this site. Mopar FTW!

Shit doesn't need to run to get stolen.

A mate of mine stacked his one owner RX2. While it was at the panel shop, it got broken into. (The panel shop) They moved 6 cars to steal his car. They even stole the damaged parts that had been removed from it.

Im personally not worried if my cars details are private or not. If someone wants to go to the post shop with my rego and track down my address then thats fine with me. What ever gets there jollys off i suppose.

Untill you come home from a weekend away and all your good shit has been stolen.

agree with this. Also once I had a cunt of a time with a SR20de, may be similar. fucking thing would semi fire and cough and splutter. after working on it for 3 days eventually took rocker cover off only to find the exhaust cam was snapped in half

SR's are famous for having the cam oiler squirters block up. So a cam failure on one of them is par for the course.

has he tried to do a fault code check on it?

Its a bit cunty, but its where i'd start.

You're better off having the 265 valves fitted to the 245 head. Thats what ball the go-fast people used to do back in the day.

My oem 265 pistons are flat top. I'm pretty sure all the hemi 6 slugs were. They had to be to get the comp up due to the carvernous (but valve unshouding) combustion chambers.

It's little wonder why I never have and money with this lot sucking my wallet dry all the time.

On a side note, they all have live plates too! (But only two of them have any rego on them atm )

I found we had to dry the fuck out of the sand to stop it from clotting up, and sift the buggery out of it to.

Then it worked fine. BUT they consume a shitload of air, and fill your hair/pockets/shoes with sand. plus I had to wear a welding helmet cos my face was getting cained with sand. (Fucked the lens too.)

I just give a mate a box of tui and he does it for me. win.

ca18 SOHC are way shitter than the twincam motors.

It's hard to go wrong with an A series.

oh dear!

This thread has gone downhill quickly. A pinto will be even heavier than the G200 that chris and I shoehorned into his car.

Looking sharp indeed. Where did you find mags in the gay and rare early Val stud pattern? I had to buy a whole AP6 regal to get the tridents for my VG. (many many years ago)

Is that a factory E31 inlet manifold? It looks to be longer than the cain/aussie speed one.

Also is that factory Val gear knob?

I went to a rotary club grass skid a day a brazzillian years ago at the kimberly domain. Maybe find out who is in charge of it, and if they'd lets us carve it up hardies.

Probably an S13.

seam welded and fully caged out.

EVERYTHING not needed removed for lightness.

Blueprinted vh45. Built with all the good gear. (HPC thermal/lube coated everything, crogenically anealed all parts)

Two X T88 turbos.

16 fogger nozzles, two 20lb nitrous bottles. two stages, one big one, and another even bigger one, with a hobbs switch option to shut the juice down when the turbo have spooled. (or not!)

2x race seats, and harnesses

Shift light. (no tacho)

Idiot light for oil pressure

biggest fuck off gearbox and clutch I could afford.

2 way R230 diff. Tallest ratio I could find.

Guards cut out with tin snips to clear massive fuck off tyres, with TE27 style bolt ons held on with self tappers.

Matty B paint.

"Dixie" air horns, wired to the nitrous solenoids.

Parrots in St Asasph St. (opposite RJ patterson)

Yeah it was a blast.

Thanks for that link mate. It's good to see all the numbers up there on my screen like that. So much room for improvement on my part.

Hijack, but what are the differences between the 693M and the 711M? I've heard that the larger sized valves can be used as an upgrade for datsun A series.

You oughta be able to get away with no cert long enough to save up for cert.

Either way, you'll be going from a complete lemon of an engine, to the best pushrod four ever made.

the 6 sucks so bad that when chris pulled his out on my front lawn I wanted to dry reach just at the sight of it.

like who?

I was browsing the sta website, and was well impressed by the cheap prices.
