Cheap mig haha. I have more money in welders than every cent in old mates stagea from site work actually.. Let alone the welders I have access to in the workshop. What qualifications do you have exactly to talk down a cert 4? Haha yeah guys so impossible to knock up some engine mounts hey.

Thank you!! It doesn't bother me to much man, all car forums are the same, everyone thinks being a wanker makes them look funny and tough. In reality they just look stupid, they don't have enough knowledge to answer a few simple questions so they start throwing around insults. some people just don't get it. Thank you for being the only one that actually read and understood what I said.

friggin hell there is some retards on here. The dude quite clearly says he is aware of it not being the best option, and explains why he is doing it, to get a cheap car going. But no, everyone has to run him down and rubbish his ideas, cause it's not what 'they' would do. F&*ktards.

If you have any info to help him, post it. Otherwise STFU and quit being keyboard warriors.

my last comment was supposed to be a quote to your comment whoops

I'm sure you do

Gogo name what you have

Heaps of money in mig welders but no money for a shell or decent engine?

Cool.

Anyway you know your answer. The tails haft will need changing. So either shorten it or lengthen it when you do the conversion. You can do it. You told us.

do you think I would rather spend money welders? I need to work I don't need a skyline engine, it won't make me any money will it. Actually if you can read I asked if any other tail shafts would fit instead of me modifying. Don't just say I said shit to support your argument. Will post a picture of all my welded when I get to my computer :)

Also it's pretty obvious calling someon and their plans retarded is a bit more than rude, and you know you were doing it. I didn't tell you guys anything and I wasn't rude to anyone who wasn't a tosser to me first.

Well to put it into perspective

I paid 4k recently for a registered tidy R33 Gts-t

Which is why some of us are saying its a waste of time

Wow that's cool, and totally irrelevant to my thread. I didn't ask for the price of registered 33s I asked for tail shaft help, I'm really happy for you and your purchase but I'd rather do it my way. I enjoy working on my cars and would have fun building it. Is it that hard for you to understand what I'm saying?

In what?

In anything really, mostly your fabrication qualifications. What right do you have to talk down a cert 4 in engineering fabrication? You wanna tell me I can't make some engine mounts? You seem like someone that works in an office to me. "Oh I went to tafe 2 days a week" hahah go on you pass a welding test and tell me it's easy

Hmmm. OK, so I'm not out. I'll come back in just for a laugh.

As to qualifications......Let me see. The last thing I designed for a customer weighs about 6 tons, was made from a mixture of mild steel, 304L, inconel, various bits of tool steel and all sorts of other bits and bobs. I had my draughtsmen (yes, plural) work up the 30 or so drawings for it. It took 2 weeks to draw, 6 weeks before that for design calculations and CFD modelling. Cost the customer about $200k. Oh, and they bought two of them. And each one is carried on a trolley that weighs about 10 tons, runs on overhead rails, has hydraulic adjustments for total height and vertical and horizontal angles, plus 2HP electric motors to drive along the rails. Operating environment temperature for the front end is about 1500°C. Well, the flame is probably more like 2000°C. Oh, and I did the site survey and the installation work in South Africa, which was nice. I got to go on safari in the Pilansberg afterwards. While I was there I visited another customer's site and will design something similar for them very shortly. I do this sort of shit several times a year, in between consulting for people to work out why they blew something up (hopefully without killing someone), or how they can stop something undesirable happening in their process, or just doing esoteric calculations on heat transfer, energy balances or the like.

So, I'm not going to tell you my qualifications. It wouldn't be fair to you.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
