Swapped out the stretched belt, swapped the 110amp alternator back to the 300amp unit, drilling down into the interchiller issue, not looking that easy to fix, TX valve related it seems as all the...

Have done it twice now, dead zero, battery chargers wont even look at them. Car alternator/jumo start the only way forward when it gets to that level. Anyway the new buzzer should suffice until my...

The Golden Goose continues to lay rotten eggs. I noticed a change in pitch with the engine running and discovered the vac pump not turning, 8 rig belt skipping over the drive pulley, tensioner arm...

Its big enough. all miles, have a safe and trouble-free trip

One thing I did notice was pitting on the Willwood aluminium brake hub and to a lesser degree on the Nissan GU4 rims. I buffed off the surface and brought it back to flat - unsure if there is some...

Wiring issues again. FI Interchiller has been under performing, not chilling adequately, so went chasing the switch valve, found it down on volts so am going to upgrade the line size, however plugged...

Couple of comments. If you do this make sure its a body on job, body off is a mass of complication and heartache. Also the can will be heavier as you have to factor in the frame of the tray, tray...

The studs go in very easily when they are lubricated. The lubricant does not negatively affect the interference fit, but you really don't need to do a freeze shrink fit. I initially seated the studs...

OK, decided to swap all the studs out on the basis they were all installed by the same method that resulted in the first wheel failure. Started at 8am, finished at 4pm, nice and easy, just...

OK, I found a source that gives a seating torque from a rattle gun at 210nm for an M12 x 1.25P wheel stud. I have trawled thru my text books and found the method to calculate the torque, finally,...

Whatever you do, dont leave the blanket draped over your car guard or bonnet. They can generate enough heat to damage the paint beyond repair, seen this a few time. The mob that are selling a system...

Plassy I will have the wheels off tomorrow. The GU4 alloys have a tapered seat, the Y60 alloys have a flat end piece and require the flat nut. Funny enough when I was picking up 'my nuts' off the...

Picked up new studs today and a full set of wheel nuts. According to PAP the drv side rear wheel is a known culprit - would really like to understand this. I know since putting in the new motor the...

Must be 17" rims to clear the Willwood Brakes, otherwise I would have gone this way instead of the alloys to begin with. I am struggling to find the value to torque the studs to - 6 manuals, internet...

Spoke with PAP this morning about stud strength options and applicable nuts.

The factory studs are the go, however their aftermarket studs are 'marketed' as being stronger and cheaper than the...
