  1. If I won lotto I would cast the front plastic guard in glass, mine suck.
  2. Good tutorial and I have felt your pain, sucks dont it? Just a suggestion that if you included the part numbers it would be that much more easier to follow. As a fitter I've had bearing journals stuck on shafts so many times its not funny, if its rusted on cut it off, an engineer told me that rust in that area can excert upto 8,000psi and you have no chance with a press. Also some bearings are heated and the shaft frozen in liquid nitrogen to make a very tight fit (bearing is actually smaller than shaft) but I dont know if that is the case with these drive shafts. The way I do it is to cut like photo at an angle but opposite side as well, you dont need to cut right through to shaft but close. Then mid way between each cut weld a bead from side to side, this shrinks the journal and sometimes cracks the cuts, then hit with a cold chisel in the cuts, they come off eventually and minimum harm done. if you have a bearing cap stuck in a hole (brake rotor HQ) a weld around the bearing surface will shrink it and falls out. Another way is weld reaaaaly hot and melt away the the material but not right through! and then SMASH with hammer!! (worked when my grinder shat itself AND I dropped my cold chisel 7 stories up)
  3. Some great shots there! Those tyres were a good guide to slow down, although I felt they sould of been on the grass, the one I took for lap didnt help me much! Glad I was paired with Konrad, you can tell the novices from the old hands.(the vids will show)
  4. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=108999 Have alook at that thread. Carbon fibre and fibreglass are very similar to work with. Working with fibreglass is quite easy as long as you can stand the fumes and itchy dust. If you reinforce the cracks with the same thickness behind them they will be ok. Then get them to a spray painter for finish.
  5. I can be a bit thick sometimes when trying to understand a setup or installation, and to be sure, I ask dumb questions, that could be annoying to some, but not SK, he is very patient and understanding and many thanks to him. If he offered to build me a motor I'd buy it even if I didn't need it. EDIT I would like one of his build motors as a spare
  6. Its a bit like the shooting awards I won in the army. It wasnt as if I was an olympic class, just better than everyone else on the day. There were other clubs there but as said it was hard to tell what they were. Lets hope we can get some more variety next time.
  7. Hahahahahahah!

  9. Or hire for a wenesday night at willowbank no date set yet but I feel the car is ready for a debut run and launch practice.
  10. A diagram of the cradle from fast cradle__Small_.bmp
  11. Got this diagram out of Fast, the top left looks like it has a connection on it, can anyone read what the japanese says? diff1.bmp
  12. A good tune is the best way to use all these mods properly, dont baulk at the most important stage.
  13. yes but not as well stocked as 11's

  15. The adjustable part of the cas is for timing, so if it is out, youve changed the basic timing set. A timing light is needed and knowledge of where to place pickup as my tuner uses a white wire in the loom at the back of rocker valley cover and the correct setting to get it right again. If no one will cough up the settings do a search, I'm sure I've seen this somewhere.
  16. Sorry SK I meant Drag as there is no front top split or is that a different kit? Ok I get the idea now. The 4 bushes wont fit in, its either top or bottom.
  17. one reason why you dont see me there too.
  18. Well it seems I have a different sort of diff here it, works well, LSD and all. Can anyone give me a site where I could do some research on it?
  19. Are you becoming a post whore ellie?
  20. Nah didnt make it, but want to, they are a fairly simple piece to make and if I could get them plotted into autocad I can get them profile cut, which is 70% of the work, then just got to source the cup bit on end of bolt. Drawing not to scale. gotta love Paint. brake_stopper.bmp
