  1. It's all ready for a couple coats of paint now, trying to decide between pink or purple, might go with both.
  2. TH180 I thought? AKA Holden traumatic
  3. Or have the wheels machined to have seat inserts pressed in
  4. Have heard of them, meant to last about twice as long as iridium plugs. Have seen them marketed as "lifetime plugs" or something like that.
  5. Jeep use 5x127 as well, but I doubt you will be finding 14s on 99+ Cherokee etc.
  6. My last 3 vans it's been no issue at all for WOF having removed seats. Have run through as 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8 seater and the only issue was a missing seatbeat in my old Delica so I just removed the seat again.
  7. Someone's ripping you right off. They are the same price most of the time.
  8. Denso VE style pump, just with electric shit controlling the throttle and shit. They went common rail with the 1KD
  9. Looks like 75x75 should be easy enough for me to get my hands on, or rectangle tube opens up options too
  10. Yeah I'd be keen to give it a go. Been doing 100x100 ones as I've got a full 5m length of it/dunno if I'm equipped or skilled enough to do sheet metal fabricated cans yet.
  11. Was thinking about $100, have a fair bit of time and consumables in them. That's pretty much in line with a smaller China spec baffled can etc. And yeah, can do with either M16 threaded or welded on barb fittings. Hadn't even thought of surge tanks, looks like something I could do too!
  12. Anyone interested? Still got to clean it up a bit and weld the mounts on, just ran out of argon so called it for right now. Plate and SS wool baffling, 100x100, 190 tall, m16 threaded bosses so those cheap SAAS barbs from SCA will go straight in etc.
  13. Rather interesting system, the charging stator also acts as the starter motor https://www.nsu4.nl/france/2pointsdallumage.html
  14. Made a couple catch cans Even made the hose fittings First one for @GuyWithAviators Next one And cause I couldn't find a tap in the size I wanted on a Sunday arvo I made a drain thing, just needs an O-ring Thinking of making some more to sell, the 2 pictured are both 100x100x200mm, I made plate baffles etc and can make them shorter or taller (up to 2.5m ha!), and can either turn and weld on barbs in whatever size needed or supply ready to bolt off the shelf fittings to
  15. They must have improved again with the latest owners, was absolutely shit and super stingy an owner or 2 back.
  16. These things can wheelie real well! Had one with a Tecumseh on at a wreckers I worked at, was amazing what it would tow around the yard and the abuse it withstood haha
  17. Think I'm getting it figured out again /\ 80Hz, 70/30ish (edit 80/20, -30 on the setting, 0 is 50/50 so -30 would be 80/20) , 120a, pulse 2Hz down to 80a. Filler rod from Bunnings kept giving bright green flashes and leaving the soot marks?? Same amperages and balance, 120Hz.
  18. Downloaded an Everlast instruction manual, so much more detail than BOC give. 0 is 50/50 balance, so either -30 or 30 is 70% (I'm still reading it lol) I've been aiming for balled tungsten the whole time lol Edit: Between the Everlast instructions and the video @Transom posted I think I've got it figured it, -30 is 70% negative. it was about 30 where the tungsten was balling and splattering away so yeah that would have been 30% negative.
  19. Trying to get my head around the AC balance on the new BOC tig, seems they've used what I'm seeing referred to online as the Everlast style control. Rather than basic % adjustment like the Raptor had and looks like Miller and Lincoln etc use this goes from -50 to 50 and I'm struggling to figure it out tbh. Although I did learn that if I turn it up to about 30 it'll splatter balls of tungsten everywhere The manual is pretty useless, this is all it says about it Oh lol and if anybody knows how to use the save/recall function for different settings I'd love to know how, all the manual says about it is that's what the light is for...
  20. @NickJ I've got a BOC one they chucked in when I got the Raptor tig, I can't say if it's any better than one from Ali as I've only ever used this one, but it seems decent quality and has def saved me a bit of gas already. https://www.boc.co.nz/shop/en/nz/industrial-gas-equipment/flowmeters/boc-flowmeters @sentra said you have to break at least one and all reg gauges at least yearly to be a good welder too.
  21. I've got my reg set to 15lpm then the flow metre drops it down to whatever it's set to. Any higher on the reg and it does what @yoeddynz said with the blast of gas, any lower and the reg makes horrible noises ha
  22. You're running the Bunnings/Coregas too yeah? Dunno if there's anyone down there doing it, but one of the industrial places here supply Coregas and have E size cylinders, thinking about going that way when I run out. Oh and if you don't already have one, have found a proper flow meter seems to save a lot of gas compared to just using the LPM gauge on the reg.
