  1. Cough cough cough.. Did you go beagle-ing for wheels?

    Welder?

    Nope. For doing panels a mig is the easiest and cheapest way to go. If it was a mig welder then 30A would be low enough.
  3. I caught up with him in the weekend and am planning to go have a look for you soon. I reckon 35mm DHLB's would suit depending on the spacing on that manifold.
  4. Would make it sound like a Subaru, yeah?
  5. Just jack it up and take the perch's down by 30mm to start with - see how low it makes it and how captive your springs are afterwards then go from there. 30mm won't add too much droop to your shocks. If you want to go super low you'll probably need keeper springs.
  6. Good numbers! Which dyno?
  7. Over stretched tyres and the dish is too much. You should have kept those modgies.
  8. You could just adjust the throttle butterflies so they sit a little bit open? Works fine and means you don't have to do any more butchering. I also thought the TB had an idle bypass screw... it's a big flathead screw that is depressed into the bottom of the TB.
  9. See you cunts on Thursday following my last exam. Buy me a beer? Churr!
  10. You don't need to use the friction modifier, but it will tighten your diff up a bit. I use Redline red shockproof (have forgotten the viscousity). It's good for hard work and high temps and I usually chuck in a friction modifier as well.
  11. Something with a decent CFM rating so you don't have to wait for it to crank up all the time. My one is 13CFM Max (about 9-10cfm free delivery) and is on the cusp of being too small to keep up with my gun.
  12. I've used LSX and Redline, both seem to work sweet as.
  13. Just get a good quality "finishing bog" and it'll do what you need.
  14. Remember your factory Redtop beams had 170hp atw? I think it's possible to get that figure with aftermarket ECU etc.... Keen to see how the Carina motor will go.
  15. Bill does some pretty impressive work to toyota motors. Pretty amazing to get that power from a 4AFE This is what you have to do to fit africa cams to a 20v
  16. How does that description relate to "when stopping" ?
  17. Sure you don't mean wheel bearing, gearbox or diff?
  18. New axles arrived today and they are very pretty! Took the LSD into Geartech for them to have a quick squiz, and he said it's starting to burn the crownwheel to bits again which prompted converation about WHY this might be happening. You can see that the teeth have been meshing well, so it has been set up correct, but the teeth are getting burnt as if there is a lack of oil. So we had a long discussion about baffles. The reason it has been doing this appears to be because the baffles are too big, and don't have a gap for the oil to drain back through. This will be because it was set up for a diff cooler at the beginning and the oil supply would have dribbled in from above the crown wheel. So now with no cooler setup the oil is "running away" around Manfeild's long sweepers and is unable to drain back into the middle of the diff housing. So I jumped under the car to have a look at the baffles... turns out there is almost no space for oil to drain back with this setup because everything fits so tight. Yay for that! I can keep my T series diff. Here is the baffle: So the plan is to drill mucho holes in the bottom of this one so the oil can drain back (while still doing it's job) and run no baffle on the RH side (becuase it got munted when that axle sheared to pieces). Manfeild is mostly RH corners so the LH baffle is most important. //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic. ... &start=120
  19. Soarer looks nice and has some sweet work done BUT I'm IN LOVE with your Sunny! I remember seeing it on trademe and thinking it was incredible value for money all things considered. Datsun project thread please .
  20. I like the way you're thinking with this. Street sweeper kits have done their dash and standard body always looked better imo. Polished lip wheels are where it's at unless you want it to look like a Merc. Sweet new whale .
  21. Sent to jarred@tractortorque address. Chur.
  22. http://www.linearbearings.co.nz/Product ... fault.aspx These guys appear to do the right ones, but I've never heard of or dealt with them before. Have sent and Email anyway.
  23. Wow, that place looks awesome. Thanks UJ, will flick male that way.
