Spotting drills for deburing drilled holes, perfert chamfer everytime and it looks like it was done on a cnc!

Air rivet guns, makes light work when you got eleventy billion rivets to pop!

This drill kit is is a must have,,,remember the last time you broke a drill bit and then needed another. Not anymore with this one. Just have to remind my self to buy replacements.

had to use yhis the other day to cut the trans tunnel out of a vn then cut the tail shaft in half to get a wreck off the trailer at work... Had no key and was in park... The selector on the trans was also rooted....

If you are serious about getting the most accurate torque settings consistently, virtually maintenance free.

Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench

323500a.jpg

dual-signal.jpg

Capacity - 20-220 ft.lbs / 30-300Nm

Drive Size - 1/2"

FEATURES:

- Dual signal ( see and hear when the wrench has reached the selected torque.)

- extremely accurate (+-2%)

Or if you want something more 'high tech' this one flashes, beeps & vibrates

If anyone is interested in either of these PM me, I have a pretty good hook up & may start a group buy if there is enough interest.

Or how about these, find that squeak in your suspension or useful for listening for knock whilst tuning

No....not that kind of tool.....

The "how do I get this old rubber hose off" thread reminded me about this idea.....so here it is, the cool tool thread.

What are the odd/unusual/invaluable tools you use!

Here is the opening item....

What: Hose Pliers

For: Saving your knuckles! Gets most hoses off, and after 20 years they can be damn hard to budge! Vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, breather hoses you name it.

From: Got mine from the tool guy that came to the show n shine....probably need to find a specialist tools shop

Cost: About $30

Used a set of these on Tuesday. Absolutely awesome and saved my knuckles.

Talking about torque wrenches I had to buy this bad boy for my centre lock wheel nuts. I think it goes to 700nm's.

Thats pretty awesome, haven't seem too many of them around, I bit overkill i would think for a wheel nut?? The wrench below is used on tank tracks & to tighten the bolts on the west gate bridge.

Capacity - 200-1000 ft.lbs / 260-1340Nm

Drive Size - 1"

Length - 140cm

Need a flashlight for working on the car? This is a CREE LED 330 lumen and runs on rechargeable lithium batteries. Thing is absolutely awesome.

<cut>

Nice, I use a Romisen RC-C6

Mainly because it floods a huge area when you use it, which is good when you want to look over a broad area.

Problem is the battery probably only lasts around 1hour, but the batteries are smaller than a AA so its not exactly hard to carry a couple around :)

Dunc I will be keen for that, one day. Lol street r33 or track car, whichever is working well enough to race with! Im secretly keen on the street car though. God im hoping it delivers the results im expecting! Im gonna blow everyone away! EVERYONE!!!!

Those torque wreches are huge! I believe they use that size to do up truck wheel nuts also!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
