I dailied Dunlop 02g and 03g on my Evo, it was fine. Even in the wet a semi slick is fine unless you are doing dumb shit in standing water.. The only disclaimer here is if you are in near ice conditions they can be marginal. The ad08r has a pretty open pattern to some of the others I have tried so I'd say they'd be fine.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 When I was living out in Canty country I was amazed at some of the camber fuckups and alignment disasters you'd see on the open road. Helped that most of the roads were straight and flat. Followed a latish Commodore one evening and when she pulled over to answer a phone call - unusual in itself - I stopped to talk to her. Right rear had about 10deg negative and was pointing at the left front. Told her to get her husband to look at it pronto. No thanks of course. Truck and trailers you'd see with the back end of the trailer on the verge and the cab out on the centerline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Okay hose stretchers/OS brains trust, On my datsun, ive got a 90° sillycorn reducer elbow (70mm-65mm) from the TB to the MAF. (Space is at a premium on this install) however i need to plumb two hoses into this. One goes to the rocker cover/crankcsse ventilation, and the other to the IACV. They both need to be supplied air which has passed through the MAF otherwise the ecu cant add the necessary fuel to make it run right. Does any kind of fitting exist which to attach to the elbow, whuch i could plug the hoses into? Needs to be 100% air tight, otherwise the engine will get lean/run like a bag of dicks. Absolute last resort would be get a 90° aluminium bend, and have a larger collar welded onto the end that meets the TB. But two joiners will look gammy as fuck. Pics for fred. Something like the last pic, only 14-16mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 That would work. That and some rtv. Just put it underneath/inconspicuous angle to not let anyone see said grossness. i have a map sensor I just drilled a small hole for an interference fit and rtv’d and it’s worked fine.

RUNAMUCK Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The one pictured is like 3mm. Does anyone know what the keywords are to search for the right thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On AliExpress keywords are a bit rubbish (I think) due to the translation going on. Have you tried an image search? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 These have 14-16mm, would need a nut and brass. There might be a more robust metal material one in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Bulkhead fitting ? https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/hansen-tank-fitting-male/p/159364?store=26&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA2pyuBhBKEiwApLaIO3ylA2TZp5aZN_0GjGP7HZyi9tBLyo3FJdkqQQZsAr4Lq32JKvCY0hoCFzMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datlow Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Bulkhead would probably be the most reliable and should be Able to get in brass if heats a issue But these would look tidy if you can't hide it (might not like the heat either?) https://sapsltd.nz/uniseal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 ^i dont think the silicone elbow will have enough spine to retain its shape and maintain an air tight seal. They would probably work mint with an aluminuim bend. (Where pipe tails could just be welded on anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 That Hansen fitting will be fine with the heat. I've run them on the back of a fireplace to hook up a wet back and they didn't even go soft with 80 degree water running thru them 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last one I had you could bend the rim just by looking in its direction. Its still on my garage wall as a tribute to the gods of Chinese knockoffs. I had to dig this up because kinda relevant. Spotted in a Donut video about cheap anti-theft measures and they cut a knock-off Nardi wheel to get one of the locks off. This is what is inside the rim of it, "more than 90% foam" This video seems to show its a common thing on cheap wheels, including the spokes being attached to the rim via small indents on the rim, not welds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'm thinking my next fun project will have a SA0v1.69bis standard protocol. That's the Shitty-Add-On 2nd version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 My accessories don't agree with 10,000rpm's, trying to track down a big pulley for my p/s pump. needs to be bigger than 150mm diameter. If anyone have a spare moment, to do some measuring on what you got, would be choice. Ideally something with a 4 rib belt. Beams 3sge looks to be 4 rib and big ish looking, but cant find any measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 One of those speedy Honda ones maybe https://www.speedscience.co.nz/products/tegiwa-power-steering-pulley-dc5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Probably an aftermarket Dorito motor item could be worth looking in to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
