Oosh

Slightly OT, but i had a quick search and could find anything concrete on minimum thickness (for a R32 GTST), except maybe 24.2mm for fronts. Anyone know for sure? Cheers, - Ash.

Very, very nice Geoff, have you got whole engine bay pics with that on?

Mechanical, if you have a wholey electronic send then there's an Autospeed/Jaycar kit lets you DIY.

That link didn't work but i found them anyway: FC-280SC FC-280SA Drilling in to the hosing wouldn't be a good idea unless you could remove it first, definately don't want metal filings in the bushes, or on the magnets. How about this one: FK-280SA It has the holes and the terminals are at the rear, but they're tabs and stick out. But it's all moot unless you can find a dealer, their sales mob look really only geared up to sell in bulk, bummer. Google turned up this place: http://www.kysanelectronics.com/electricmotorsdcmabuchi.htm Maybe drop them a a line? This thread mentions a supplier in the US of similar motors: http://www.g2ic.com/forums/printthread.php?t=93099 Another mob in Korea: http://www.motorize.co.kr/english/view.asp...3&lev2=3&lev3=4 This seems to imply they're used to power small RC/Scaletrix cars: http://xmodworld.com/modules.php?name=Foru...iewtopic&p=5560 Some maybe try some hobby shops?

And it's a cheap fix, but if that's not it then at least you've only "wasted" a very small amount of money, best to try simple/cheap stuff before you fret on gaskets. But for the record, a head gasket wont always result in milky oil, it depends where it's blown.

Yes

For those interested...

Do you have a photo of it, and/or a link to similar Mabuchi item, i'm interested to see what they look like (but not enough to pull my mirrors apart to find out )

Dodgy radiato cap not holding pressure can cause this.

How similar? You might be able to mock something up with this other motor, have you tried Nissan?

I have an '89 (October build i think) R32 and Consult works fine. Have a poke around under the dash some of the wires might have been "molested".

I have 225/50/16 B'Stone Potenza GIII's on my car, but they do hang noticably over the rims, the additional sidewall flex probably isn't ideal but i'm happy with the setup thus far.

Oops, that's what i get for skim reading,

I've got a lot of the surround stuff off at the moment so i might pull my dash out and see what happens...

In order to void your insurance they have to prove that the "illegal mod", provided you've also listed it on your policy, contributed to the accident. Lets use a dodgy catch-can as an example: Could it contribute to you running up someones arse? Highly unlikely. Could it spray oil vapour on to your exhaust housing, or a shorting wire, giving you a nice little bonfire? Sure could, and if the insurance company can prove it, then you're in trouble. But an internet forum isn't the best place to get this type of info, give your insurance comapny a call, don't mention your policy or anything just make "general enquiries".

This is a good question, my speedo (and tacho i think) reads ~10% high, but the figures reported via the consult port is accurate.

The new forum software happened.

Autospeed recently had an article on this, works fine, so long as you make the appropriate tuning adjustments.

That shit was f**ked up, i just don't know how these low-lives can act like that, just gets me angry thinking about it again. Mate i would have been bloody disappointed if you HADN'T put it on the dyno, you can't tease us with 4.5L of donk and turbo as big as your head and not run it, and from the back seat the power delivery felt impressively smooth it just kept pulling.

Nah i was suprisingly sweet in the morning, got up about 8, lazed around for a bit then cleaned up the backyard between rain showers.

My piping use to hit the clutch fan and make a fair racket sometimes.

Regardless of whether this works to over expose plates or not, it's only going to help you at night, during the day no flash = no reflection.

Nice to see you've got me grinning like an idiot, i look almost as pissed as i got later in the day, Good work Sam.
