RUNAMUCK Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Question time, how hot do you reckon a rear brake caliper would get under 10/10th operation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 At least the boiling temp of brake fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SOHC Posted June 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2017 I had to put the nuts back on the ends of some bolts witch were under the guard and I could only just get one finger in there with the nut and washer balancing on one finger but I would all ways drop it, but I found if I super glued the washer to the nut then super glued the nut to my finger it took 2 seconds do do the whole job. the glue doesn't bond permanently to your finger if they are dirty. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Ok stupid question time, can I paint my radiator or get it done nice somewhere? Been looking at the below build thread and thinking how much nicer the black rad looks in an OS bay. Mins is a big (factory + 50%) aluminium unit. Cant imagine any insulation effect from the paint would affect it much. http://www.ausrotary.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=247235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 nah just do it and be smart about application. Obviously thick coats of ceramic insulative paint will be a fail. I think there have been quite a few tests done about painted intercoolers and the results werent anything worth remembering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 When i worked in the radiator shop there was a specific paint used on the radiators that had higher heat transfer. The edge that receives incoming air needs the most paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You could probably just take it to a rad place and get it done for fuck all. Rad paint smells great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Get it anodised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrx Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Anodised - interesting, would last longer i guess, might be able to get a deal through work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transom Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Fuel pressure gauge ... Install on high pressure feed line or on return line after regulator ? Or does it make no difference ? Seems te aftermarket fuel pressure regs have them on the reg so that's after injectors ... Any thoughts ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You need to know the pressure at the injectors, so just before the regulator would be OK, or on the feed side at the start of the injector rail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 So i am completing a dash swap on one of my cars, its almost complete but the Cel glows dimly when not activated. I suspect this is because LED now instead of normal bulb activated by grounding A 2kohm resistor deals to the glow but does reduce brightness when light is activated- could i use some other wizardry, to eliminate glow and maintain full brightness when activated? I could add a relay i guess but seems bit over the top. Led's are soldered to pcb on the cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks best spot for physical space seems to be at end of hardline from tank /pump to engine bay and before the short braided line to injector rail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You currently have the resistor in series with the led? Try putting it across / n parallel with the led instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Or figure out why there's a stray current on the cel circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try putting it across / n parallel with the led instead. Not actual resistor- decade box to fiddle with happy median, but yes in series. Presumably its something to do with how the ecu switches on the CEL, the bulb on the other dash didn't glow as far as i could see. Parallel across may work, would putting a conventional bulb in series confirm my theory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
