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.

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
