im allways keen on trackdays, they often clash with other things though?

ive done it, youll need to modify the gearbox mount, auto body has holes further back which is piss easy.
and i made a mount to place on the firewall where the cable goes through. once again easy as.

keep us posted on how you go sounds interesting, but why not just turbo the 2.6?
given the design principals of a diesel it wont run as well as you think on petrol.

will give you way more torque and power than any form of NA youll fit there. and be far more cost effective.

is this timed?
what classes/groups are there?

hmmm, very interesting.

you can get good power reliably out of a stock magna engine. i had a dead stock magna from U-pull it. i put dished astron1 pistons (with over 250,000km on them) in it and ran 18 PSI, made 210kw at the treads like that as a daily for over 12 months. then i upped the rev limiter to 7k and ran 22psi......

what viscosity is the oil?

is that cold idle or up to temp idle?
what viscosity oil is in there?

70psi isnt too high. what does it go to when revved?

I even shimmed my oil pump when i built mine for higher pressure than std

yeah, youd hope its a generic picture.

but looking at some of the others they appear correct....

chineese making crankshafts like this...

no counterweights, only 3 mains.... i hope that picture is wrong.

these are in a different league to the 595EVO's 595s are a street semi, these are a full comp semislick. they suck when theyre cold, theyre great when theyre hot, they wont last long driven on the street. and as a race tyre they change their consistency alot compared to other semislicks as they wear...

mmm Lookin good

nice one mate!

i had a lack of motivation to get my shitter out of the shed for histo.

if you can, try and get hold of a electric pump from a 80-91 subaru Carby, MY and L series cars.
theyre a pressure set positive flow diaphram pump that will flow more than the crappy click click pumps (although it also goes click click, its not the same)

i can possibly help, depending on how soon you want it done.
ive got a TR efi setup thats going no where fast.

oops, just read what wrote last time, just to fix up, i WONT be using stainless plate for the flanges, will be plain steel.
trying to get some prices on steampipe now, cant find mych online, so will do the ring around at lunch time.

dunno about a VN, but i ha look under my VX and the commo is Drastically wider than the siggy, so its highly unlikely its doable without MAJOR mods to either or both.

ill definitely be using stainless for the flanges. though ill have to investigate the steam pipe further. i would prefer it as its easier to work with than stainless, stronger, better thermal properties and probably wont need bracing like the SS but i dont have any contacts for it, i can likely make...

went for a drive round lonsdale. theres a few available, but they want drug money for them as theyre mainly newish buildings and most are way too large for what i want to pay.
looks like my mates pulled out, so probably not going to happen now

cheers guys, checked those.
nothing available thats suitable in the southern subs

Hey guys,

Other than the usual newspaper adverts, wheres the best place to find some shed space?

Im looking to setup a workshop with a mate, something around 4 bays. (2 cars. Hoist and machine area)
in adelaides southern suburbs.
prefer to rent, must have power and water

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyones done any real testing and has some ideas as to what size and length runners will be best on the 2.6 Will be running a 35/40 with external gate I was thinking of using steam pipe, but i can get stainless for cheap. was thinking of making somthing similar to this, u...

cheers mike, do you happen to know if theyll pass a car thats currently under resto, stuck in the garage and cant be driven currently.

is that build date or reg date?

i have a car that was made in 82, first reg in 83

i thought of that, however ive gone the route and allready fitted the entire S14 subframe and steering rack, so changing that is out if the question.

im going to change the pulley and use the nissan pump i think. its a simple bracket to make and it will all match

Been alright man. driving a vx commowhore as the daily. Subaru Legacy GTB Wagon as the weekender/tracker and building a GL scorp as a dedicated track car

Welcome back jase been a while...

ok.... have converted the scorp from steering box to rack and pinion steering. can i use the Power steer pump from the box type for the rack and pinion type??? I know its not a common thing. but asuming the flow and pressures are similar it should be fine... but thats what im unsure of. if anyone kn...

Gaz, i was well within the weight limit of the magnas towing capacity, it was fine to tow with, weight balance was ok. traction was just crap as the weight lifts off the front on accel. normal driving and braking was no different to the commo. were talking a late model V6 manga here not an early 4 b...

yeah thats the type of bender ive got, i dont want to waste time with it, id rather pay someone and have it done in a flash.
only for theroll bar its easier to get someone to do it, also might save me a length of tube if i screw it up the first time.
