Try Bunnings?

Or a specialist tool shop. I got some things from a bolt shop in penrith that seemed to have alot of specialist tools. I think it was called bolt master. The place is right across from Race Solutions (HITMAN's).

Good luck on finding it..

And what is it for, as it will be a fairly minute hole.

Cheers

Dick Smith's has a set with a .5 mm drill but that's the smallest I've seen in a retail store. 12 piece high speed PCB drill bits for small hobby applications. Sizes are 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.5mm diameter. You may have to try a speciality machinist tool shop.

What are you trying to do? The drills get very brittle when they get down that small and you can't just stick them in a normal chuck.

If it's only plastic you might be able to find a bit of piano wire in that gauge from a hobby store, heat it up with a blowtorch until its yellow and pierce it though.

Otherwise it's not going to be real easy, jewellery store supplies 'might' have something like that for metalwork too.

Almost certain you could get one from Gasweld.

Yep, what you need are GAS drills. (calibrated accurately & small enough for gas/fuel jets etc)

Forget Dick Smith, Bunnings etc- that would be like going to a Woolies servo & expecting to find proper race fuel.......

Hey mate, You can get them in dremel packs of drill bits.. Would be slightly hard to use on a drill tho and a rotary tool or dremel spins quite quick..

but yeah rotary tools have those sizes.. bunnings in the dremel section

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
