Roman Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 I guess it's just the difficulty of explaining the idea in a binary context of vaccum and atmo pressure, without a great indication of velocity either. (Which is why it looks weird that it "fills up" from the valve end, if it showed the velocity better it would be clearer) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Copper exhaust gaskets and brass 5/16" nuts for exhaust. Where to buy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Can get brass nuts at repco if desperate/just go sweet talk an exhaust shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Also high Zddp oil that's cheap and available lots of places. Where? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Is there such a thing as a M14OD-M12ID steel sleeve? Trying to fit some struts that have a 14mm hole to a hub that has a 12mm hole and uses 12mm bolts. Dont want to drill out the hub in case I need to revert to factory struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 do some maths regarding the wall thickness remaining if the sleeve was to be M14 outside and M12 inside. unless the threaded sections are offset it just doesnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSM Garage Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Sorry, maybe I shouldnt have stated M to indicate that the sleeve is threaded. Basically it would be 14mm OD tube that has a wall thickness of 1mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 get some thingies turned to suit, saves having to buy 5M of hard to find tube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I found some tube on ebay to do exactly that a while ago to fit integrale evo bushes on my delta turbo. never fitted them but did obtain the tube and it was all gee. wasnt toooo expensive, maybe $30 for a foot of tube. expensive for tube I guess but you dont need much of it.

Roman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Electronics question people! I bought a cruise control switch for my car. Measuring the resistance with the switch while it isnt wired up, I get: on 70 ohmcancel 153 ohmresume 230 ohmset 620 ohm I've got it wired up as an analog input, so it gets a 5V supply in one side and outputs to the ECU. However whenever I pull on the lever for any option, it zings to 4.98 volts. I've tried to find some circuit diagrams for how they're normally setup, one indicate that there's generally a 1kohm resistor on the output. Tried this, but same thing. Any ideas? Does it matter if the resistor is before or after the switch? Is there some formula or something for what value resistor would work? Or do I need to limit the current being supplied or something like that. It doesnt matter what voltages it ends up outputting, so long as they are distinct and between 0-5v.

downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Is it a 3 pin switch? should be wired like a tps with 5v sig out and a ground. You can try a 1k resistor from signal to ground if its only 2 pin should work like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah so oddly the switch has three pins out, but there are only 2 pins/wires out on the cable. Will be a prick of a thing to try fit a 3rd pin. 1k resistor doesnt seem to make any difference. Might get my old man to check this one!
