man, just putting a wheel back on ruins me (knees)... certainly with the cold weather.

nasty stuff with no patella's

got all this stuff on the go with the r32 rb26 but cant muster the will in my knees to do anything.

so so need a car hoist, and hell a heated garage with plug-in knee warmers would be nice

do u wear pressure braces on ur knees? probably a dumb question but i use em on my wrists for RSI

sounds like u need some bionic knees dude, either that or get em chopped off and get a couple of struts bolted to ur femur and get urself a spare rim and run a single toyo r1r on it...

ive got a box of baking soda in the kitchen

just trying to work out what mixture to use as the last time i did it , well failed epicly because corrosion is back again ...

Baking Soda is what pro mechanics use with warm water , no real trick to doing it , but you must prevent corrosion by taking that battery out , which by the way its illegal to use a wet cell battery in the boot of your car ADR without proper venting,drain holes. and as you can see , there a crappy battery that farks everything when it spills. buy a gel cell or AGM battery and redo the connectors , no more corrosion from acid

plus the car will thank you by starting easier

boiling water does sweet fark all , unless you want to make things steamy too..lol or if you rinse with it.

you can get a battery spray that coats the terminals with some redish oily crap to seal the corrosion off, might find it in a boat store , haven't seen it in normal car shops here in OZ

Good news Luke!

In other news, dropped my head off to Rhemac tonight, wicked set up they have going there, some serious work gets pumped out of there! Bad news is I left there with more options, and unfortunately, more money to spend. It's more of a case as to how far do you go, you need to draw the line somewhere, I just don't know where that is

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
