nice work, the engine looks good. that thing to tip the car over is a good idea, its so much easier to work on the undersides like that

Yes. With correct pedal ratio and mcyl sizing, non boosted is no problem

Sometimes a dickered master cyl will have a sinking pedal if you gently rest your foot on the pedal but feel ok if you stomp on the pedal harder, this is because the extra pressure helps jam the worn seals against the piston bore better

Well that worked better than i expected. Went to night drags. Cold night air and the 2 step worked great Forward until the first staging lights come on , hit the button and the brakes hard, floor it, creep it into the second beam, by the time the green comes on theres a good amount of boost,wheeee Result! (534)

Probably wouldn't notice if the trans died, with that much fan it would keep going forwards anyway

Who did you end up getting the cert check done by?

Is this worth bothering with? It works, by that i mean it bleep bloops a lot when i drove around to test it, mostly on the k band light. I assume thats from picking up traffic lights and stuff like that?

J1403 is the most common vac hose spec. Lvvta is very particular about using the correct type of hose

That's a miniscule plug gap, is that what it's meant to be?

Duncan Morrison is the only guy ive had much to to do with recently Or Bob Kistemaker but im not sure if hes still doing it.

This is the route

When? Sunday 16 april. Whats happening? Drive your interesting vehicle for about 1.5 hrs to a nice park with lots of trees, have yarns,eat foods. Where do we meet, and where are we going? meet at 10.45am, at the carpark near AA Meadowlands, in Howick. We will leave there at 11am, drive to Whitford, past Beachlands, through Maraetai, around the coast through to Clevedon, from there head out to Kawakawa Bay, then to Whaharau Regional Park. Who can come? If youre reading this, you can come. The idea is to have a fun relaxed day so if you want to bring someone whos not on OS, thats fine if they fit the usual OS member vibe, ie not a dickhead. Bring your significant other, or your kids. The cruise will be at normal speeds, its not a race. Everyone should drive in a way that represents OS in a positive manner, both on the road and in the park itself. What car can i bring? If its interesting to you, bring it. Theres no rules on what you can or cant bring. Bikes are also welcome. What else should i bring? Something to eat,some chilled beverages, a folding chair would be a good idea. There will be a bbq available to burn snags with, a gazebo, and a table for buttering your white bread on What if it rains? youll get wet. If its real unpleasant then there will be a rain date. If it gets postponed, this thread will be where you find out. See you there!

This is what I would recommend. I wouldn't do any repair work until the repair cert guy has had a look

Yeah thats ond of the worst "old wives tales" of the cert world, it might be an australian thing where it has to exit 12 inches past the last opening window or something like that. Its never been an actual rule here CCM=

Nice work, looks great!

Would the increased VE be offset by more friction/weight slinging extra pistons and valves etc around ?

There may be special events that can have an exemption to hold an event on a closed road with unregistered vehicles,i dunno how youd find out about that Rally cars are usually cert/wof/reg so they can travel between stages,if there was anyone who could ever figure out a way to circumvent those requirements,it would be a rally car person....

As far as i know Authority card is only to cover the fact the car has a cage/harness/other stuff you wouldnt usually be allowed in a road car Log book is to keep track of events,details of cage, race classification etc. If the car goes on the road = needs to be registered and wof. I dont think theres any way around that

I saw someone suggest a race class called 'mermaids' to make use of some of the flooded unregisterables that will be around,that made me lol

A dishonest person would clean it and write the chassis code on it with a paint pen to make it look like a recently replaced one from a wrecker Good thing i dont know any dishonest people though.

Cool pic, left to right=the navara was mine,green courier was Mat from the drop shop, next hilux was hoods one,last one was owned by Seb, he was a gc ,he passed away a few years back. His hilux always had a rattly timing chain,my dog could recognize the sound of it when it turned up in the driveway haha

I havent been to the night drags for aaaages , last minute i decided to go. Cbf with friday traffic in the plymouth,and ive wanted to see what the bike is capable of since i got it Best i did was 12.3@110 I was yarning to a guy who has the same bike but his has done a heap of hard kms He was interested to see what mine was like compared to his, so he did a pass on my bike, 11.8@116 The difference was,hes not a fatty, ha

if its a big effort to fit,have to cut the car up etc, may as well fit a 3.5 version?
