cletus Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What's the deal with cutting holes for intercoolers? Just having a look at the jzx today and with keeping the AC there's not a lot of places to put the pipes. are the 2 pics below OK for cert? Will move battery to boot and come up through there also looks ok to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdylan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have a strange question. Do you need to keep the stock gauge cluster to get a wof? Was told if i remove it and replace with autometer gauges i need a moyorsport licence? Any one can shed some light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdylan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What are you doing for a speedo? Generation 1 apex RSM uses a sensor so is legal. I had just finished removing the dash cluster and about to start to replace it with the alloy panel when my cousin (who is a wof inspector) said that unless the car retains its stock cluster its not going to get a cert or a wof as it must remain stock. Read the wof requirements but could not find anything. please can someone shed some light on this for me? I think i have just wasted money on my race-looking dash instrument cluster.

Seems like bollocks to me. Lots of hot rods use aftermarket gauges, or something from a different vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdylan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah but i need to find out a clear yes or no. cause if its a no i need to find a working dash unit. But i read the online wof requirements but could not find anything. Maybe its covered in the asseser one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Condition and performance 3. The speedometer must be in good working order and operate while the vehicle is moving forward. Modification 4. A speedometer that is affected by a modification: a) must meet the requirements for equipment, condition and performance, and does not require LVV specialist certification.

bobdylan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 If the aftermarket guages Will occupy the same space and are not forward of the stearing wheel that's fine isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 hey clint, fitting up my pedal box, can I run braided line in the cabin from the outlet of the master cylinders to bulkhead/firewall fittings? can I also run low pressure feed lines in a rubber hose through the bulkhead, just through a hole in the firewall. maybe a grommet or something to stop general abrasion damage do i need to ask for a specific low pressure brake hose or is carb fuel lines ok for this sort of thing?

Testament Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 there is a special brake fluid reservoir hose. how much do you need? I have some left after replacing the stuff on the 124. you'll have to wine and dine me sometime though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 haha that can be arranged tom, I estimate that I would need quite alot though, maybe a bit over a meter. I have bought some epdm hose which enzed told me was good for brake fluid, except it is rated to 200 psi and is super not flexible. I was wondering if you could use a small diameter silicone radiator hose as it is resistant to glycol. Finding good info online is really hard it would seem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've had no issues running brake fluid through good quality fuel hose for the last 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 everywhere I look it says not to ever use fuel line for brake fluid, various people have had no problems but 95% of what I have read says that the rubber will deteriorate such that black gunk fills the lines, it swells up and brake fluid starts seeping through it from what I understand, brake fluid is much more like radiator fluid than fuel/oil and destroys typically available rubber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 yeah I've probably half a meter, it was really expensive, like $50 for 1m. although I bet if you went into the shop in auckland and schmoozed around like a dave you would get it a bunch cheaper, it was probably mostly charging for the bother of posting it down to taupo as I think usually they sell 100m of hose at a time or something as it was some specialty hose shop. maybe have a look online though you may find it cheaper?

peteretep Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 what was the type of hose you got? is is reasonably flexible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxnz11 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 My escort van has the petrol tank underneath the floor at the back. The sedans have them to the side, like a spare wheel. Thinking of replacing the van tank set up with the sedan tank set up. Are there any rules etc I need to know? Will be using the standard sedan tank etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Alert motorsport have just told me that I can use this stuff http://www.alertmotorsport.com/Product/Vacuum+Tubing/1688 $23+gst / metre I'm sure fitting another fuel tank will be fine as long as everything bolts up and you refit all the hoses properly, not sure on legalities though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbie Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 ^might have trouble because the fuel tank will be in the 'cabin' if you switch to a sedan type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 ^might have trouble because the fuel tank will be in the 'cabin' if you switch to a sedan type. Yeh this, I imagine it needs to be separate from he cabin/the feul tank in by triumph wagon was in the boot so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
