Yah ! Id remake it ! And remake it in brass so you don't ever have to do it again. Can you get it off the block ? If so then take it down to a fitting place and grab a hose barb with the same block thread and main tube size. Also grab a smaller hose barb to do the right angle one coming out of the main one. Cut off the threaded end off the smaller hose barb Drill a hole to the main hose barb the in the same position as the original small one and then press in the small piece and solder it into place. Did similar to my R33 to replace rusted out, nickel plated, steel fittings over the years.

GohiraDave said - "Here in Las Vegas we have 91 with a few stations that sell E85 and 100 octane race gas." ! ! They still sell race gas in service stations in the U.S. ? ? ! ? ! I'm moving to America ! Just out of curiosity what's it worth per litre or rather U.S. gallons ?

Must . . . go . . . . to . . . . Finland !

And on the Commadore I think I remember seeing that they welded the extra calliper mounts to the stub axels ! Balls of brass that ! Hoping that there will be no cracks in the cast iron, then taking it on a rally trial !

Wow ! It seems everything new is old ! I remember seeing on a early Holden Commadore that was running in the ( I think ) Repco / Redex rally with a set of front dual callipers ! Then I threw a couple of rocks at the Tyrannosaurus rex that was looking funny at me and hid in the back of my cave until it wandered off !

Looks great ! I took a quick look at their web site and the price is up there in comparison to other quite well know brands. But in saying that, that's a machined bronze impellers and certainly looks the goods. Still got to ask if its re-buildable ?

More likely "The Bottle Imp" tending toward "The Monkeys Paw" !

Looks very nice . . . however I have never see an impeller corrode out over time. If you are using the correct coolant there should be minimal or no corrosion in the engine at all ! The bearings will probably wear out before the impeller has issues. There might be an advantage if the pump is rebuildable as was done in dinosaur days of the past !

Yes ran the red ones in R33 for about 80000km, after my OME ones failed, as they were cheap. Eventually one failed and then went over to Spitfires and haven't looked back. Now been in the motor for around 350000km still going Chucked the red ones in a box somewhere in a box as a sacrifice to the Gods of speed !

Sorry couldn't resist !

Welcome ! And I AM a chatbot cop !

Yah and I was a bit luck cause at the time it came out of a GTR that only had 47000km on it. So all I did was get it checked over, changed out the oil and then went ahead with the install

Yes it did involve the matching 6 X 1 axles and with hubs I went with the alloy ones out of a R34. I got this all when GTR parts were "cheap" and while the whole thing was apart I also fitted up a ( I think it was ) GTR R32 finned diff cover which has a larger oil capacity.

Got to agree with "Butters" here. I've run a lot of variations in different cars over the years, mini spooled, full spooled, Detroit lockers etc etc and I've had the GTR mechanical 2 way ( or whatever its called ) in my R33 for a very long time and cant fault it.

Hmmmm . . was just wondering if there is a difference between 8mm and 11mm spark plug leads in regards to onhm reading on my R33 ? Was thinking about up grading to the 11mm !

And just when I think SAU was getting dull . . . . this happens . . . . love it !

So what's the latest ? is it saved ?

Got to decaffeinated coffee ! Its the only way ! To survive ! An automotive aneurism !

Show me the money ! Its OK Im sitting down and I've taken my angina tablets !

I want one ! Give me one ! NOW !

Oh those hoses under the manifold are spectacular to change ! Changed out the heater hoses on the drivers side thinking they were cactus . . but its still leaking. Made up a bass T piece with hose barbs and soldered in a car valve extension, plumbed it into the throttle body coolant line, filled up the cooling system, put on a tyre compressor and pressurised it and . . . . found the leak ! Its the short 2 inch piece of hose that comes out of the block . . . . above the started motor . . . . so you cant get to it from above . . . soooooo . . . its out with the started motor . . . again . . . . to access it from underneath . . . . went and got a piece of 19mm ID hose that will take about 20 billion pounds of pressure cause I aint doing this again

And you know those Redback spiders I sprayed . . . . well one of them got me . . . . on the thumb . . . . while I was changing out my starter motor ! Got a bit sick, thumb went black and has swollen to about three times its normal size ! In sympathy my chief said I got bitten on the wrong spot ! ! ! Go figure !

Yes as well as using it for self flagellation for our automotive religion !

Oh Wait . . a 30 year old car . . . and the heater hoses on the fire wall go . . fix em . . . then the hoses under the manifold go . . . fix em . . . . then the plastic pipes that go into the heater core crumble . . . wait for it . . . the starter motor packs it in . . . yep fix it too . . . annnnnnd then the alternator drops charge . . . . fix it as well ! Yep Yep that covers it . . . . Nah . . still got a split hose . . . some where . . . The local bottle shop has not ordering more stock for me. Should never of stopped driving it. Did some one say something about a M3 . . . . . Should never of sold my 1967 HR Holden 186S . . . all you need for that was a piece of garden hose, a flat head screw driver and a shifter to fix it

. . . . you have to spray the underside of the car to kill the redback spiders ! ! ? ! ! . . . . you get in it and you are looking for the "push to start" button and forgot you've got to put the key in the ignition and turn it ! ! ? ! ! . . . . Anyone else going through this as well . . . ?
