  1. Yes. I've gone through cert process on my 90's b2000 with the pie cut done. Keep your required camber in mind when you do it. You can either pie cut a section out to make the arm shorter for more camber or you can cut/spread then infill to reduce camber. Tig welded by ticketed welder (not that i've ever been asked to provide evidence of who welded it) and crack testing required.
  2. Alternatively can you make an extension to fit the sensor arm to add an extra pickup point further out?"
  3. Can you show us the front flares with them attached higher? They look 4 inches lower than the rears in the pic
  4. I know exactly who you mean at vtnz. Like an American Deloris Umbridge. She's a cunt every single time. Some of the guys there are good though so I try to indirectly deal with her through them. Good luck haha
  5. ive got a blue top 1gge in NP if that's not too far. $450 mostly complete conversion, lightened flywheel and extractors. PM me if your interested
  6. Didn't realise how badass that cream colour with the pinstripes looks when slammed with the right wheels. Looking forwar to seeing this in action this weekend
  7. oddly enough my ms112 had those badges on the c pillars. No idea if the were original or not. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm37/ho-courier/P1000310-2.jpg
  8. ^^^ I hope you have test fit them. Steelies like this usually don't fit single pots, Let alone gtst brakes.
  9. I'm impressed you were brave enough to tempt fate and hover that bolt there while taking a photo.
  10. i'll give my opinion if it's not too late. I agree with keeping the turbo engine. Like you said, they're getting rare now. I would stick with the rb20det. If your after more power then bolt on an rb25 turbo And a nistune. Perfect for a street car and cheap to do. May even improve the fuel economy with a decent tune. In 10 years it will be worth more, not less.
  11. Good enough for me, Cheers tgb. Sucks that there doesn't seem to be any proper ones around anymore like there are for the gen 2 though. I might try drawing one myself to share with the world
  12. That's gen 2 pinout (10/18/24 pin) Gen 3 should be 26 16 22 I believe.
  13. I don't have the gen 3 ecu to check
  14. As per title i'm after a gen 3 pinout. I need to do some crossmogination with my gen 2. And yes I have searched but all the image links are now dead
  15. I have a courier with a standard SR20DET T25 engine/turbo. At 100kmh it sits well into the vacuum so I doubt its a weight or aerodynamics issue your having. Even if your ratio had your rpm at around 4k (being generous) at that speed, you should still be seeing some vacuum. I'm running BB T28 on both my SR20det silvia and 1ggte Cressida and both of those are also running vacuum at cruising speeds (around 3200ish rpm). Sorry I can't actually tell you what might be causing yours to run pressure. Dud gauge maybe?
  16. Bagged dually 454 Porsche anyone? http://forums.projektgerman.com/showthread.php?14915-Ratty-Porsche
  17. Have you considered putting foam cubes in your tank?
  18. That's what I thought when I saw it. Has bends at the ends like my crown. Tailights look to be pretty special to
  19. Not much happening sadly due to still not having a shed built but I have made new rims. Widened steel rims with flanges welded in and centres from some 2 piece rims I have. 15x10 -20, I built them with the intention of redrilling them to 5 stud to share with my s13 but the offset still worked out pretty good for the crusty. Currently has 195 50s all round but really needs 45 on the front and 55 at the back and then lowered another inch at the rear. Also the wifey went to visit her parents old farm and discovered this gem in the neighbours paddock Its a manual SX70 cresta with 147ks and it used to belong to her mum. The reason it was parked in the neighbours paddock? A cracked windscreen! FML. It's way too far gone to save, especially being super base model even though its a cresta. Anyway we had to take it home regardless (note other cool wrecks) Plus sides are W55, Fender mirrors (unsure about condition till gaurds come off to check anchors), double headlight front end, and, for me anyway, a live axle e-series diff which means 2 extra axles incase I pop another one and more importantly a open diff head so I can finally get the crusty a wof! At this stage the cresta will probably be parted out so if your interested in anything pm me. The gearbox is being put aside for my starlet but the 1S bellhousing and other manual parts are up for grabs aswell as everything else. Obviously anything that's a steel panel comes with free rust
  20. remove the mount bracket and tighten the nut then reinstall bracket. Fan bake at 150 for ten minutes and you'll be done
  21. Chipping away at l200 diff swap. Not in a huge rush, still need handbrake cables to suit s14 calipers
  22. I've never been happy with the front mount. The piping was too big and was jammed up against the battery and lights aswell as the intercooler being jammed against the bumper and having next to no airflow. Decided best option was one of these- Water-air cooler. I spent today dummying it up and ended up cutting and turning the cold pipe which will get welded monday-ish Not too keen on how bling the engine bay is looking. Getting the right joiners in flat black is a bit difficult so will run red/blue silicone which i get cheap through work. May try painting silicone with appropriate paint (input please?) Also tried to make the paint look weathered by sanding it. Pretty happy tbh. Next up is diff swap...
  23. I kept taking out the cooler every time i drove it. It will be making a return in the form of a radiator for an air to water intercooler. Current front mount is ugly and does fuck all for cooling, its also why the right headlight is all crooked and theres no valance
