I've used electrolysis as well on gears and smaller items from an engine and can't believe how well it works. I tested it out using an ice cream container, chicken wire, a battery charger and a water pump pulley from my engine (rusty as fuck), filled with water and dumped in a few tablespoons of baking soda. Left it over night and it came out brand new. Wish I took photos. Similar setup to below: Do any of the big shops sell bags of phosphoric acid (eg. Mitre 10, supercheap, BOC etc.)?

Hey champ, guess a medium case LSD would be too puny for the new motor to handle? http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1071508886

So Cazz's old man picked up a coffee roaster. It's all in parts, it's a big bastard and it looks like a chooch crossed with a horror movie. Here's what it's supposed to look like when it's in working order: We're unsure what brand and/or make it is but it's similar to a 60-100kg Probat roaster (the biggest commercial version you can get). We're also unsure if everything's there too! The roaster was in a fire and tucked away in storage for the better part of 10 years which adds to the choochiness. Here's some detail shots: So keen to get grubby with this. THE PLAN: Figure out what brand/model it is, clean it all up, buy/replace parts as needed, put it all together, chooch some coffee and sell it on to some hipsters. So next update will include heaps of wire wheelin, acid dipping, rust fixing and broken bolts! Woo!

That's an awesome write up and an equally awesome car Glad you didn't go the rotary way. I saw lots of terribly done rotor e30s back in the day in Tauranga. However a nicely done one would be nice! Keep up the awesome work!

Dangit. Got a wedding to attend. How likely do you recon this'll be an annual occurrence? -

New page finally! Woo! Took the engine apart finally. Looks like someones been trying to run this thing on water (not me) Can anyone recommend someone in Hawke's Bay / Manawatu that's a good bugger at tickling heads?

Success! E21 trailing arms truely are 'bolt on'! Thanks heaps brockzila!
-
Cheers mate I'll keep that in mind and will see what my wallets looking like after nats. I've read up lots on swapping e30 rear trailing arms into a 2002 and looks like a heap of work.. HOWEVER after looking it up again, I came across a heap of articles from people saying that e21 rear trailing arms bolt in with no modification and are only 5~6mm wider each side than standard 2002. This means I'll have to use coilovers as there's no spring perch on them (was going to go the coilover route anyway) and should be able to use disks on the back too. Woo! It's a shame that small case LSDs as rare as hen's teeth

Wife's birthday pressie sorted!

Hey mate I'd be keen as for the disks and calipers if I can get them working. I've read they should fit without much modification, but I'd need tii struts with the stronger spindles they have. PM me with an idea of price and I'll read up on it more

Coming to Nats? I love them zeeeeees

Shit me, last post in here was June last year. I gotta keep on top of this shit. I totally hear ya about the guards/fenders. I've been reading up on waaaay too many international threads where the talk is all crazy.

It seems like only the other day you were telling me you had a v12 on the way from Japan.. Now it's in the car! Shit you move quick Will have to come round for a cheeky nosey at the cars and catch up soon -
Soooo not looking forward to this when I finally get my 2002 in one piece

I'll start learning from watching all the animes and help out

Thought about having a chat to Ewan in Japan? He might be able to source the screen and other assorted treasure?

We're coming! woo

Cheers for the replies! I knew I should've been more specific. The dizzy is leaking steadily all over the engine and air-con pump so I guess the outer O-ring deff needs replacing.. But how can I tell if the inner O-ring is bung as well? Is it one of those things to refresh the whole lot at once?
-
My distributors been leaking for a fair while now and am finally ready to sort that shit out. However - I've asked at BNT and Appco without much luck. So does anyone know where to get a rebuild/seal kit from similar to what's in the link locally? http://www.kbox.ca/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=34 Cheers!

Go this thing legal yet?! hurry up

Today's effort was removing a thing from the engine bay! Before.. After! Before... After! That thing was there to hold the bonnet release bar, the windscreen squirters and, I'm guessing, bracing. Nothing a strut brace wont fix. Main reason for taking it out was that it was going to interfere with new engine. So seeing as I'll be going with a fibreglass bonnet (remembering the current ones super rusty and poos), why not take it out completely! That means I wont need the bonnet release stuff as fibreglass bonnet wont be strong enough and am thinking about using those rubber bonnet latches that the old porches used to use instead (or the leather ones.. or bonnet pins.. Something!) I'd like to think I've made some weight saving too, but the panel feels like it only weighs a kg or two. Meh. Hoping to have an engine crane next weekend so will do the test fitting.. if life doesn't get in the way! Stupid life
