brilliant idea!

I’ve used that type setup in black on a V6 with 1 3/4″ headers. Pretty much the only thing that stopped them melting in a few thousand km.

More generic name for them is “fire sleeve” you can get them at industrial supply stores in free length and then cut to size.

Got any pics? Would help to see what is fouling

No you don’t need to take out the whole cradle, at most unbolt it to lower it a bit to gain some clearance

The K-mac kit is excellent, they also provide a bush extraction tool which allows you to remove the old bush without removing the whole arm. Pay attention the direction you insert the bolts as it can make adjustment a bit tight if they go…[Read more]

Link works, just take the last full stop off the end.

Diff mount and Trailing arm mount mods look good. Be interested to see how it goes on the street

Looks great! Are they height adjustable into the base or just welded into it?

Seen a Ecotec e30 getting around eastern creek, pretty good combo. l67 would be great tho

Ah ok, so it’s been out for ages. Yeah K-Mac is Aussie, they seem to be focusing on export these daya

yeah they’ve been out for a while. I first saw them at SEMA in 2011

Pinion might have been clearances or could just be rough from the factory. Are there any markings on the pinion end?

changing diff center so the mesh and preload would ways have to be redone, no escaping   haha.

when you seat the bearings, make sure they are fully home and square in the housing bore. Oh and double check everything. Hope a…[Read more]

check out the K-Mac coil jackers. I think they have a design for solid rear axle springs. Fully adjustable with a tyre wrench, no c-spanners

Sure thing, I’m away at the moment not back to my regular computer till 11th of Jan but you can google for the gates manual for the GT3 series of belt. Spec is in a table towards the back.

if you can’t find it I’ll post it when I’m back.

maybe a dumb question but was it ok before? Check the plug gaps and leads are properly seated. Also sometimes the wiring loom that plugs into the DFI can get loose on the connectors and cause an intermittent spark.

Sounds like it’s pretty easy to reproduce so logging the Haltech could give some clues.

Yeah mines street/track and was trying to avoid cutting slots but have resigned myself to slots front and back like your front bar

Spec is from the gates technical book for that series belt. It’s interesting the trend in cars to run them so loose.

btw that is tension not force-displacement. So the force in the belt along its length, not the force to depress it. I’m sure then is more than 25kg force in the belt when it’s turning the blower

For that gates belt the min tension is 56lbs, that spec is for checking with a tension meter.

Thanks, I’ll have to do something different as I still have the exhaust in the cutout.
