haha...yeh you guys are suckers...as if you would work two jobs or maybe even have a hobby or two that takes up all your free time...:rofl:

Dan once i work out a sweet and easy to make dry sump pump bracket i reckon we should put abit more serious effort into this project.

I also need to work out a better way for welding the sump pan without it warping so much, but without being insanely time consuming.

We will talk in the near future mate...........ding ding ding and bling bling bling....i like the sound of money.

What? Aside from my 6.5 hours sleep every night, I still get 2 hours break where I'm not working.

Sif you don't envy me.

Probably the best way to stop it from warping is to tak it in multiple places and fill between. Not the neatest option but should solve that problem. Also I assume you would be bolting it down to a hard surface while welding. Another thing to try would be to get out the oxy and, while it's bolted down, throw some even heat into it all over. Might need two oxy's lol. That should take most of the kink out. Finished product can then be taken to Chilton Engineering. He will be able to straighten and surface grind the finished product for a completely level surface.

Aight?

you know dan...believe it or not i actually am a fabricator by trade...i did employ pretty well all of those techniques to stop it from distorting...still comes out abit funny though. I fully welded the whole thing bolted to a dummy rb30 block. The problem isnt flatness of the surface, as in it doesnt need to be ground so its flat, what happens is the flange sucks in(width ways)and the bolt holes dont line up perfectly. I have an idea in mind of how to fix that, but i need to make a steel jig that will replace the bottom end of the block. Apart from that little issue everything comes out pretty sweet. Ill have to get some pics up so you can see it.

no more hijacking of noels thread...

either a) bolt the flange to the block or b) make a jig with dowels in the bolt hole locations?

P.S u do realise i coulda given u the CAD file of the flange with the hole locations. i've had it for months :(

already did a cad drawing for it months ago....meh :(

shane already said i bolted the flange to the block when i welded it....really needs to be annealed after its been welded so it stays in its bolted position rather then pulling when you take it off. But my jig idea will work...just means i gotta make one...which blows.

OK the injectors Noel had are Delphi 650cc with an impedence of 2.5 ohms. The GTR 444 injectors are 2.1-2.2 ohms and the RB25 injectors are 370cc at 13.4 ohms.

Anyone know where I can get 11-12mm O rings with a 7.2mm inner diameter (11x2)? They came with 14x3.5 and 15x3.5 and with lower collars that fit the GTR runner ports perfectly.

pirtek? that other hose mob that begins with Z. pirtek is at industrial ave, wacol. and the other one (Z) is at rocklea (same side as BOC)

or there's qld diesel spares down at rocklea too (left hand side)

I keep 40 of the bastards in the top draw of my toolbox

The ones I have suit RB20, GTR and RX7 Nippons. They are a genuine only seal.

Well I used double O rings on the top using 11mmx2mm O rings from Ipswich Bearing Supplies. Seal is good and the car runs but until I get off my ass and reload the injector variances it will hunt a bit on closed loop.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
