Ok cool! It's a hard line across the firewall so vac distance shouldn't make a difference or very minimal but either way mate go for it!Quote:

I actually have a second canister on the shelf at home and could run double canisters lol. Could even seperate the clutch from the brakes and have them on their own pumps.Quote:

Yeah i have removed the hard double fuel line and the vac line off the fire wall. Pointless plumbing. Moving the canister to the drivers side made my clutch so light i didnt think i had one!!! Cant believe the xhamge.
Awesome!Quote:

Yeah was thinking that, can join the double vac wanker club now lol.
You want me to drop in at home or work tomozz, should be coming through mid morning.

Wankers indeed. Nah single vac pump. I think the improvement us a co sequence of the canister volume is very close the the booster and isnt reatricted by 4m of 8mm tube
Yeah ok, it's just Winnie is still using his Alt vac too so he still has to run that to the firewall with rubber hose and across the firewall hard pipes to rubber hose junction along with a custom pipe from T engine to the new cannister location which no doubt he'll use rubber hose too so yes huge improvement with double Vac but very long lengths of rubber hose that's all.Quote:

I stripped everything out replumbed the section off the Alt. Then across the fire wall to the canister next to the clutch booster. I used comprrssor hose and its worked great.Quote:

Need to buy a deep 19mm socket so I can correctly torque the injectors, then we are nearly ready to drop it in.

I don't suppose anybody knows what thread size the blue circle is do they? I need to get a plug for it but nothing I have fits it to get the thread matched. It must be imperial?

I would be surprised if its not metric. A fine pitch form at a guess. What approx. size is it? From there head down to the 'bolt guy' and pick up a couple of samples to try. Why do you think It is imperial?
Is the hole a port or a mount hole? It could be AN if for a flow port perhaps? - and this is a US imperial.
It is a coolant feed but I am using the port behind it.Quote:

See how you go but if not will have one 4 sure in my box of bolts.

OK< I know standard pitch is 12 x 1.75, then fine pitches at 1.5 and 1.25, kind of look a bit like UNF.Quote:

Thanks guys. Got a message from Nissan newby and he reckons it's M12x1.5mm
I will grab one on Wednesday now and hope it is right but it does sound good.
Had issues at Enzed this morning, the reckon M10x1.5mm is very unusual and they have had to order stuff in so I am hoping it is all here before the weekend.

Winnie, maybe a typo but M10 x 1.5P is a standard metric coarse thread pitch, about as rare as politicians lies! M12 x 1.5 is equally as common as a metric fine pitch, so no idea why they told you that. It might be a rare liquid fitting though, however they have every adapter under the sun avail t them, again should not be an issue.
Yep, could not buy an m10x1.5 to -4an adaptor from Enzed. He did help me with where to find one (the internet) but I bloody hope it arrives before the weekend.Quote:

Do you have the room to do it it in a couple of steps, instead of a straight M10 to AN4 config?Quote:

I have dealt with these guys a bit and they will slam one in an express bag for you, no problems, just takes a call if you are in doubt with the other one.

No I haven't tried them. I ordered from a company in Sydney called Earl's speed parts. He express posted it yesterday, and other than that the bloke at Enzed reckons he will have the parts to make my hoses tomorrow which I will take home and get lined up, then take back to him so he can crimp themQuote:

Hey as an option, maybe too late, Enzed do sell a light blue hose with barb fittings that dont need any crimping or clamps. You cut the hose and push then fitting into the hose. They have to be cut off with a stanley knife to get them apart. They are widely used in the mobile construction/mining game. I used this system on my hydraulic winch and it is so simple, no leaks at 3000psi and 90 degC, think they are rated at 300degC from memory.
Hi Winne are you getting the fly wheel lightened ,,or not worth itt??Quote:
