Have a OEM one if you want just pay for shipping..

My rims were $117 via Mainfreight door to door , Auckland to Hastings.

The guys a twit, I seem to get him everytime and he will pick up on all the smallest things and make it a big deal. On WOF sheet in the failed for bit its got 'infringement notice to produce'. Meaning I have to find the stupid ticket I got when it was pink stickered over a year ago in March last year... WTF is the relevance in that to getting a WOF, when it's up to WOF standard (minus the LVV) I went to the police station today they said you just get the new WOF from VTNZ, bring it to them and they will update their system. Stupid Mofo.

That is awesome. How on earth do you complete SOOOOOOO much in such little time!

20,000kms ? Hmm........ Old cluster is screwed. I know how to do it now anywho, practiced with the speedo out of the old one. Can't get a cert until next week either, still wondering if I'll make the big meet next weekend

I say remove valve cover. Pin point where it's coming from. Checked fluid levels? Pity you aren't in Wellington or I'd be getting that thing scanned...

Yes it's possible. Technically you need a cert (bigger displacement engine), but otherwise it is a direct swap. Changing gearbox isn't necessary though, m20b25 will work fine with the 240.. Why do people have problems with the 240 !

It looks like it is reverse threaded?

Just went through VTNZ, All it failed on was not having a LVV cert for the ground controls. Didn't even notice the engine ha! They also want me to wind the K's forward on the replacement cluster I have. It's sitting at 122,000ks, last WOF I was at 136,000ks so they want it up to about 140,000kms when I go for a re-check. Anyone know how ??

Weird ? I use Firefox with No script. Best combination Evar. No script blocks Everything on a page (pop ups, java, flash, apps) unless you allow them. So when you get to pages you can choose what you want to allow and what you dont want to allow. You set it once too and it will remember... So just going on to new sites, it will have things blocked and you will have to allow the things you want and leave the crap blocked.

Buy the BC golds someone is selling on here. Cheaper. But GC's let you choose spring rates when you get them so thats a huge benefit.

A few practice shots on the garage door aye haha. F*ck that came out mint for a garage job. +1 to being the man

I think the speedring on the center is the wrong one for the diff, I used the one that came with the LSD cos I bent the original one taking it off. But yeah I pulled my diff and kerry suggested checking if I get a pulse from the diff, the one you lent me pulsed, my 4.45 locky I have (lol) pulsed too, but mine wouldnt pulse at all. So I pulled the diff, removed the back plate, and figured that the ring does work with the sensor, its just sitting too far out (like 2-3mm). So i grinded off about 2-3mm of the flat face of the sensor so it goes in towards the ring more, and checked if it would pulse and it did, chucked it back in the car and gave it a quick go and it worked. So yeah I'm happy I won't have to put that 4.45 diff in haha and yay I have a speedo again lol

Everythings working now , speedo and all. Cert check hopefully on thursday!

Ok I pulled the rear cover off, and the sensor and ring work - Thing is, the sensor is sitting too far from it. I'm pretty sure I used the speed ring that came with the LSD center too so maybe it was from a different diff or something ? Rangi fixed it by grinding the sensor face down so it sits furhur in and now it pulses, so going back in the car hopefully it works lol.

Just checked if it pulses and my diff doesn't pulse at all, when joined to the multieter it is just a 'beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep' I checked with 2 other diffs I have here and they both go beeep...beeep...beeep when spun. Why would my diff be like that ?? FYI the speedring IS on the diff center.

I havent had a working speedo since over a year ago. It all started when I swapped out the open center for an LSD center in my 3.64 medium case diff. It started spastically floating around (the needle on the speedo) and eventually one day died off.. Ever since then I have tried: Checked speedo ring is still on the diff center. 3 or 4 different diff speed sensors. 2 clusters. checked wiring and its sweet. I am thinking it's possible that the cluster i replaced it with was a dud? Otherwise , everything except the diff itself has been replaced and it's still a no go. I have a 4.45 diff i'm borrowing and may throw that in tomorrow to see if that works but other than that WTF could be up? Anyone got a cheap 100% garunteed working speedo I can check it out with/? Or anyone know a way to test if the speedo is working on a cluster, if so how?

Yeah I have the stage 3 F1 racing 6puk clutch and HD plate. It's real grippy (real noticeable when down shifting) but overall im real happy with it. Clutch pedal doesn't feel drastically heavier than having an OEM clutch either. I'm now using it with my m50b25 since I had it and it was practically still new and I'm happy with it. Just abit of a PITA using it with a very light flywheel!

As you say it is only when idling in traffic etc, that kinda leans it towards being the fan clutch.. Describe the brakes situation too. Sounds odd?

Oh, I was going to say.. lol. Do you paint them in the shed?

Do you have your own paint booth at home too ?

i like where this is going..

Yeah it's allgood haha, no clear cut views of them yet though. Man I am on the mean happy buzz atm haha.

Tits out for the boys http://www.vimeo.com/10644585

Sounds like you need to get rid of the locky and stop doing skids IMO. haha.
