RUNAMUCK

arrrrghhhh! attack of the JDM wheel brigade!

I'd love to know who thier australasian distributer is. Especially now that ACL has gone into liquidation. I often use that online catalog to scope potential alternative pistons for motor combo's.

what bits have you been having trouble finding dude?

There is a listing for a piston for a daihatsu 360 here http://www.jccpiston.com/ I have no idea who their agents might be, but if you can find out you might be able to get some there.

(If it wasn't pistons you were after, or if the ones listed aint what you need, I napolige for my failure to read your thread properly)

fair enough. I ussually set a set of 11 (One spare cos they are very easy to lose) for $30. They are piss easy to make, but bloody time consuming.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That had better be bullshit, or else it's time for the revolution!

I make the adapter bushes to put the longnose crownwheeel, onto the later viscous center. The viscous centers used both 12, and 13mm crownwheel bolts.

If anyone needs a set of bushes, Pm me.

I use a bloke named Jeff who works out of a small shop in behind the challange garage on port hills rd. You enter from the carpark of the hillsbourough tavern.

He does a good job, and isn't too expensive.

see that you do!

PS, check out my new head,

42mm inlets FTW!

I think to run an atmo dump BOV, you need to have it sprung so that the manifold vaccuum at idle doesn't pull it open, but when you get the big vaccuum spike of a gear shift, it vents the surplus air.

speak to dan(datsunboy) on nzdatsun.com, he is the man when it comes to ca18 wiring.

He has a diagram he drafted which has all the un-necessary shit deleted, and shows what goes where when putting one into an old car.

All GX heads had larger than stock inlet ports. Post pictures, I need them for my wank bank.

post lots of pics of this head you scored lad.

Are your coil packs any good? Does sound a bit like bad spark. If your coils are sad it'll want to foul plugs/run like arse.

Back in the 90's a kid at high school had one of thses bad boys.

Damn they must use no gas. you'll be able to tour the south island for all the meets, and spend no coin doing it.

Whats the story about?

Warning! Touch this car and this guy will kick your arse, and feed you to his dog!

BTW, you must be beaming about how mint your car has turned out. It's more photogenic than Scarlet Johanson!

does someone want to swap you said mazda for you corty?

I wouldn't touch the mazda if thats the case. If the motor goes POP! you can kiss a thousand bucks bye bye before you can even think about trying to sell it.

That gebbies pass rd is fucking sweet! My datsun loves it. One day when my car is propely sorted, I'll be so into events like that.

3mm is fuck all. If you're running those uber gay shank nuts, (which most of my cars run ) you could machine 3mm's off the shoulder, (to lengthen the thread engagement) to compensate for the reduction in avaiable thread. BUT if you did do that, make very very sure than none of the shank protrudes beyond the rear face of the mag. if it does the nut will bottom out, and it wont provide any clamping force. And will undo it's self without warning.

Nifty 50 has flathead screws for headstuds,

the stifty50's were instant seize machines and were expensive as to rebuild for a twostroke

Untrue!

if your had screws, then sum cunt had been fucking with it before you got it. and they dont seize unless they get runwithout oil, or cunts with no skill have been spannering them. And rebuild parts out of the states are cheep as fuck.

if by nifty 50, you mean a real deal honda NQ50, then no. Cunts call steppies (honda C50's) nifty's, when they are not.

The best site i've found for true nifty's (NQ50's) is www.hondaspree.net they were badged (Or stickered) as honda sprees for the US market.

Things like a .020 head shave, ported out intake, and the pulley mod are the best and easiest upgrades for the nifty 50. There is no limit to what you can do, but those three things can be done for fuck all.

how far do you need to shorten it by? VG's don't have the happiest guard clearance in the rear. I know a bloke with a sweet VG coupe who had a bit of material removed from the inside of the mag to gain a bit of tyre clearance. I was talking to a guy from Wellington with a VG at the drags one time. He said he'd actually moved his spring hanger mounitng points (or somesuch) inboard to get more tyre clearance.

I haven;t fucked with a fail-by-design borg warner diff for ages, but I think there is extra spline on the axles that you might be able to use. But I don't think you'll be able to go too much shorter without having spring problems.

I can remember that 3 being in nzpc way back before it became a hardcore fail publication.

well, I'm still shit at taking pictures, and there isn't much more to report. but I'd thought I'd chuck this picture in the mix.

I picked that up for her on tardeme a ways back. The motor (as it is) will never be a world beater, but it does have a single plane manifold. So a shot of goodness will be just the ticket to level up the playing field with some of the bigger boys out there. The Oznos kit is tuneable from 100-250hp. So things should get interesting.

The kit didn't include a bottle, But I already had one that I bought to use on my datsun. And I can only drive one car at a time. lol

^^^ just affix the body to the MX5 with self tappers!

riviting reading. I'm glad I fix all my own shit, and don't live where those cunts do.
