It compares well with my other comp tester (I got this one as the tester that I had didn't have a small thread adapter) that I tested against a calibrated gauge when I worked for the national Measurement Institute.

Just did a quick browse. Metabo it looks like sell for $680 or so and 210nm max torque, the IR sells for about $800 but aroubd 1000nm max torque. For the sake of $100 or even $200 it's a MUCH better tool...

Just checked pricing on both for another guy

$816.75 for the IR W7150-k2 and $506.14 for the Metabo SSW 18 LT, both with 2 batteries and charger and case.

add about 15 in freight for either to me here in Canberra

Bloody hell that must be close to their AIR powered wrench torques! I'm finding my 160Nm Bosch impact a bit lacking at times. Did someone mention a group buy?!!

Looks like there is a salesman up here who sells IR gear. Apparently, $799 and they have one in stock. Otherwise I might even risk a stateside purchase. Anyway, enough of me derailing this thread.

That's not bad. Get tools direct quoted me $860 but I can get one from a distributor in Sydney for $800.

Noticed the Kinchrome tools have changed a bit in style and dont seem to be as good as they used to be. (Have the new 14mm one compared to the old 14mm one I have)

Also the craftsman tools in the US look to have moved to be made in China and no longer as good as the old made in US ones.

Dunno about that. He also said the warranty in Kincrome's are a headache to process as the rep guy has to come in to take a look.. Whereas KC ones, the shop itself can replace the item the same time..

Guess what boys 'n girls? Went to Costco today and found this. $158 for 150 pc kit imperial & metric. 1/2 & 3/8 ratchets with lotsa sockets.

Spanners are pretty rubbish to be honest, but still worth it for to socket set IMO.

I also picket up this little 1/4 drive set for $30 cause it was so cute I couldn't resist.

Really wish I could have bought this but no money and no space.

    • 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
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
