Well i was looking around in the shed and i found a few nice big lumps of alloy and decided to make a set of front pulleys....First pic shows the peice being set up in a four jaw chuck...second pic is the rear of the pulley being shaped out..next one the recess/offset in the rear is being shaped out.....then the ribs for the drive belt are being dug out (the pulley begins to take shape)....as the night wears on ;) its cut off and mounted on the way it sits on the engine and the front is sculptured out...after a quick buff with emrey cloth and there she sits next to the original!!Cloned in alloy!I next series of DIY will show anodizing in your garden shed :cheers: .....i am not a tight arse...i just lost a yahoo auction on Greddy front pulleys and decided...Bah who needs yahoo

*EDIT*damn...someone give me an email addy...i cant post the pics*

you buy the material and i will machine them up and anodize them.....Machine shops charge around $80 an hour i think and the anodizing you can price up...so in short...buy some greddy ones (not to mention i think you will do poos in your pants when you go to buy the alloy) :cheers:

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      By cardre · Posted

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      Dual exhaust questions

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      Dual exhaust questions

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
