if it involves a pm it mustve been a fair whack.

got a clutch, now i need it fitted, recommendations/prices?

my mate shannon got his fitted by a local guy to me with a hoist in his shed, and there is also Just Jap @ jacobsen cress. they do excelent work great rates and i just had my water line replaced from the turbo with them :) from me

Thats cos you dont have a front diff sitting right under your oil filter, and you have skinny little arms :)

it would mostly be hard due to your fuel rail and plenum being right over the top

this is the cooler/relocation kit that i got (not using the relo kit cos i already have one).

HKS rip off, speedflow lines

$239

Question:

Braided lines are considered defectable by the police right? So what happens if you get Pirtek to do the lines. I'm sure their standards exceed AS and therefore meet ADRs if used on motor vehicles?

:)

Reuben, I passed Regency with my oil cooler installed with Speedflow lines and Earls fittings... they didn't have a problem so long as it's mounted correctly and the lines aren't tracing all over the engine bay (ie. nice and tidy)

I'm sure Pirtek would do the lines also :)

My turbo oil line is braided from Pirtek. The water line is stock.

My auto oil cooler line is braided from Davies Craig.

My brake lines are braided from Maltech.

^^ this work exceeds stock standards so I cant see how its possible to be classed ultimately as illegal modifications

thats the thing, Ive got a massive list of mods but could only count a couple that need to be engineered. doing that atm, pretty much.

nothing wrong with getting other braided line made up by Pirtek, the only one that they can't do are the brake lines and i'm pretty sure that if you ask them they will refuse to do it anyway. If you get another place to make up brake lines and they don't put the ADR sticker on them then they are illegal and you will fail an inspection.

Here's my oil feed line the Pirtek made up;

Hence why (as radical as it is) my bike is completely ADR approved.

As much as I've been tempted to remove certain stickers for show purposes (see below), I haven't or else they are no longer approved brake lines.........they could then be anything!

Don't suppose anyone's got banjo bolts for the front R33 calipers lying around, or know where I can get them (most wreckers prob won't part with them)?

Wanna fit the 4 pot calipers and ditch the 2 pot ones.

:D

try Steve at Nisswreck or Pete Hall at Jap Motorsport Roo

Thanks Pete. Was going to drop in to Nisswreck on Saturday if I have no luck with the brake mob on The Parade today. While I'm out there, I'll swing past JMS. Going to lunch shortly to do all that. :D

so ive found out that my engine in my car is from an R32 GTR V-Spec and was purchased from Autotech of all places , and had 80,000kms on it at time of being swapped into my car which in actual fact means its done over 100,000kms , never been serviced and had the speedo in the half cut wound back.

lol. yeah i heard about it around then LOL gotta love corporate email... im glad that news of important things sweeps adelaide quickly

As someone who moved here from interstate, it constantly surprises me how tiny Adelaide is - especially with stuff like this. You find out that your neighbour knows a guy you work with, or that some guy you met on the internet knows a friend of yours, or ... the list goes on .. It boggles the mind :P

Nene has some serious real estate. :P

A project I'm working on at the moment, and I found this:

"Nene Valley". Not far from "Blackfellows Caves"! :P

Ah ... back to work.

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
