Sigh. There was nothing wrong with the translation in the way most people would've done it. When they were talking about boring it out from 1.6 to 1.8, that was correct. The problem was when he said "V6", the translator accidentally took into account that a Japanese person was saying that. What Toru was saying was actually "B6" which is the engine code for the Miata. Unfortunately, because Japos don't say V really well, when they usually try, they end up saying B instead. Probably not paying any attention or knowing what the guy was talking about, the translator mistook that for V6, since that is a fairly common term used when dealing with cars. So it's not really the translator's fault, and this could have only been properly translated by someone that knew the engine code for the Miata. In any case, this is my first post, and I joined the forum to correct this mistake.

Keep watching http://www.ide-fansubs.net, in my opinion they have the best quality of the 4th stage episodes.

I do have a torrent file for episodes 5 and 6 at home, but they arn't in the best of quality and the subbing is way below average. but you can still follow it.

If you want it to I can PM it to you when I get home tonight.

Torrents are the name of files that are used to download files from the Bit Torrent network.

Bit Torrent is a P2P network similar to eDonkey/eMule, Kazza. etc.

Go to http://www.bittorrent.com/ and read the Introduction there for more information on Bit Torrent.

as some of you may know I'm the proud owner of a aussie built AE86. Soon to be gutted n restored (bought original trueno seats for $150 for the pair :wave: and the back seat was $100). Currently trying to source a 4AGZE engine. Next will be modifying the suspension setup, for a bit of amature dori dori... then getting the trueno nose and maybe fibreglass/CF bonnet (failing that straight fibreglass bonnet). Then I'll try to get it to look as close as possible to the AE86 in Initial D :wave: I'll probably sell it as a replica or weekend drifeter.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
