sheepers Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 6061 is the grade is aluminium you want, or 6000 series as it gets called. its hard to get in small pieces but buckley systems throw away shit loads of it. especially in 10mm or whatever the imperial rubbish size equivalent is. how to get? ummm, easier said than done, head of procurement/stock control is a douche so best to try the back doors first. go there to building number 11 where the machine shop is and ask for Paul. you might have to wait an hour but he'll get you what you need because hes a genuine GC. give it a try, you might be surprised with what you can acquire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're having trouble sourcing 6061 get in touch, we have it on the shelf up to 100mm thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is running a 5 speed column shift converted from Nissan and datsun lego in his datsun 240c wagon. The one in @- i5oogt - diesel ced went poof down the tunnel road.

The diff must have been the reason a worn out 5 speed must have blown up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor explanation on my part. The cars diff ratio meant you selected 5th at about 80kms and accelerated to 100. Most gearboxes don't like that. Causes premature wear and eventually failure. The amount of noise that box made it was sure to go poof sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of noise that box made it was sure to go poof sooner rather than later. there are a few other issues that box had. the driveshaft has been lengthened to fit the shorter 5 speed and its a bit too long so is bashing the back of the box a bit. also we put the wrong oil in it, also the gears were tired also LD28 +T!!!! The T means it has all of the torque. also i think i was @RUNAMUCKdrunk during the rebearing of that box..... You can get a 3.7lsd head out of japan landed for about 500nz. they come out of the qk30 nissan crew or something ugly like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 It had gone through the hardening on the gear on the input shaft. And I wasn't as drunk as you when you threw my SR20DET box back together. Pulling from 80-100 in top does no harm. They're not that weak. Towing heavy shit in 5th gear is a bit harder on stuff.

Carsnz123 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'd really like to put Karl's diesel ced on a dyno and see what sort of power and torques it makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
187inc Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hey guys is it legal to use an adjustable bias pedal box in a road car? Not one with an "on the fly" adjuster, just one which can be adjusted until a good balance is reached and forgotten? Edit- found in LVVTA 35-00(02)(Braking systems) - still unsure. "An adjustable balance-bar assembly which actuates twin master cylinders must: (a) be capable of being securely locked into position to prevent unintended changes in front-to-rear brake balance; and (b) in the case of balance bar rods within a custom-built balance-bar assembly, be manufactured from a material of: (i) appropriate strength; and (ii) suitable diameter;" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at LVV standards: https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Braking_Systems.pdf , section 2.2 verse 23/24:A low volume vehicle may be fitted with one or more proportioning valves which are purposely designed for automotive applications. A proportioning valve which is adjustable from inside a vehicle must have the facility to be temporarily disabled or locked into a position of normal operation to prevent unintended changes in front to rear brake balance occurring whilst the vehicle is being operated on public roads. Based on this it looks like it can be done if certed. I think? Hopefully someone else will be able to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
