  1. Hopefully nobody has said this yet. Your issue is that this is not a die grinder. Its a cut off saw. http://www.trademe.co.nz/building-renov ... 326707.htm Die grinders will not have enough tq and will probably spin too fast for one of those disks. I have that same saw in the link and its great, has had tons of use. Also, the very cheap trademe air tools (from my experience) are not as good as brand name big dollar stuff.... but they are more than good enough- especially after some tickling. My $15 trademe die grinder went from 19,000rpm to 27,000 RPM after some porting. Certain flap wheels explode. but needs a FARKLOAD of air. Still nowhere near as much TQ as my other die grinder *can t remember brand*
  2. or bamboo! Where would someone find this bike parts store?
  3. what does double butted mean?
  4. wow wow wow wow. how did you get those brackets made? Very impressive.
  5. Its not hard. The most commonly suggested method of bush removal that i have seen is to burn them out. If you need instruction there are like 10 vids on youtube of people doing it. I've done an SW20, an aw11 and a nissan safari truck and had no problems at all with this method. I don't recall the AW11 or SW20 having steel sleeves in the bushes- but if they did i would have knocked them out as I did with the trucks radius arms- with a punch after first cutting the sleeve with a hacksaw. It takes about 30 seconds of cutting to get through it. I assumed (maybe wrongly) that the 86 would not have this type of bush?
  6. Nope- a bbq will not affect the temper of the steel Its a wonderful feeling when you come back to your arms and all thats left is a pile of steel with no bushes and a bit of dust. effortless !
  7. ebay. NZ crowds seem to charge far too much. I put a set into my MR2 and the difference was HUGE. Do you have an old BBQ a-ling? they work great for burning out the old bushes- just sit the arm in the heat and let the rubber burn out by itself. Alternatively you can squeeze most bushes out using a 3 jaw puller and some imagination... but this is tricky and hard work. OR just take all arms to an engineer and get them pushed out using a press. Just warn them that if they bend any of your arms you'll get the asian mafia onto them. Installing the new nolithane bushes is EASY as they are usually all in two halfs a bench vice makes some of them go in easier. keep paint handy as the bbq will burn all the paint off. I am unsure how adjusting pinion angle increases traction........................... you dont adjust antisquat by doing this.
  8. beep beep beep boner alert, boner alert. More info is needed for sure. Very very very cool. Andy- there are quite a few 86's in the world with 2jzgte's. None like this tho that ive seen!
  9. You should chat with that fulla on here in auck who was wanting to do fab work for cash- get him to make you up a stainless heat shield. I'd help you out if you were down here- dont have a 4age near me unfortunately.
  10. Man that two door looks nice! Such a shame you are pulling it to bits to get the van going! Sweet project tho! I'd love to find one with a v8 in it* -Nathan *that requires no work and which i can afford.
  11. this is such a gorgeous car. Looks good lowered but I like it equally as much at stock height with the hubcaps. It must be hard finding one of these this straight! -Nathan
  12. Someone should start writing the DIY tutorial for fixing a 4age head gasket now.
  13. It may just need some gentle persuasion to un-stick the pump housing as you said they used liquid gasket. Try levering it gently with a screwdriver
  14. I concur. Hope you get the issues sorted soon!
  15. this is because you keep either pulling them to pieces or selling them. just incase you were wondering.
  16. Hey man. Love your car! It looks great and you are doing all the right things to make it better. Your name is not jeremy is it? Seems like 99% of nz's starions are in chch. Its bloody strange!
  17. You are right. I am ashamed of my actions and will endevour to be less of a cunt.
  18. oh, my bad. Just assumed that if he'd wanted something fake ass he'd have been smart enough to poke the hoses through his grill and ziptie on the radiator without asking the question. unless he actually wanted to cool his oil? in which case nobody here has answered the question. You would need to smack the cooler with a rock to hole it. Over cooling would not be as much of an issue as everyone is making out. It will simply take load off the water cooling system. Thermostat will stay closed for longer etc. Extra oil capacity is a good thing. Or- he could run a thermostat as has already been suggested? But hey, all i know is that next time someone asks about fitting disk brakes to XX vehicle im going to say " do you really want brake disks or do you just want it to look like you have brake disks.. because these are really good value " http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Pcs-Car-Au ... 1480wt_854 I'm feeling like a jerk tonight, soz.
  19. I cant believe people are suggesting that you hang a non-functional oil cooler off the front of your car. Fuck thats stupid. Why not go the whole hog and suggest other fake shit. How about some stick on carbon look vinyl for your bonnet and interior? maybe some plastic chrome treadplate floor mats? Stick on hood scoops are easy to add- no need for a hole under it. Bullet hole stickers? fake bonnet pins? fake disk brake covers for your drums? oooooh, get one of those devices that you plug into the radio to make it sound like a v8!!!!
  20. As already said. Don't bother with a 3vz-fe. The rear bank is known for sludging up pretty bad as oil wants to pool there. Short of stripping the block and getting it dipped there is no easy way of removing this shit- which is a time bomb as when it comes loose everything gets blocked up. The 1mz-fe (cheaper than 2mz?) is a much better engine. Aluminum block and variable valve timing (i think) as well as heads that breath muuuch better. I'd personally not touch any v6 from toyota. From memory (its been a while) they are all shit for one reason or another. The later ones are better mechanically but can be a pain to get going due to very complex looms and overly smart ECU's. If you want a MUCH better motor with ample aftermarket parts available and boatloads of wiring info IMO go 2jz either turbo or non turbo. Bullet proof and very smooth lovely motors. 1jz is a very close second. later versions of the 2j and 1j also have Variable valve timing which is cool. buuuuuuuuut 1uz's are popular because they are cheap and also bloody good motors. just 1uz it and hang a ferrari engine cover over the top of it or something.
  21. Fuck this is just lol after lol. lingling you could have broken something by joining random plug pins. Don't do stuff like that unless ur sure you know what ur doing is right.
  22. instructions were given in the other thread on how to do it yourself.
  23. hey man. You are doing some awesome work! Worried about linishing dust getting all through your lovely welder? -Nathan
  24. Explain cargo pants. edit: lol, simons in the comments thing at the bottom of that page blowing his trumpet hahaha
