Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of pics from this week, it has been manic, also had a couple of days where I couldn't touch the car
But.... on a positive note, the diff now fits and wheels are starting to go on. Pics will be uploaded very soon
Diemax Motorsport in Dundee, any size you could dream of and great price, just give them a call 01382 826999 ask for Steven and tell them Bizz put you in touch
Merry xmas!!
Right I'm off this week and getting stuck in. It was all about measuring and drawing up some new bushes I'm having made to get the skyline diff fitted in to the 350 sub frame
Just a quick pic of the trans mount in place
This is the project for this week (Currently upside down but you get the idea)
The inner diameters look completely different on them too.
Check out these pics from a sligthly different angle
Do the seating cones come in different I/D's?
Updates...
So these are the steps so far....
1. Cereal box...
2. 3D model
3. Machining...
A nice simple project for the brand new multi axis CNC machine installed YESTERDAY at Diemeax Engineering in Scotland
I will put all of their details up on here so if anyone ever needs anything like this doing these are the guys to do it. I usually send them my own 3D models to work from but as you can see they can make a part from the drawing off the back of a napkin or out a of a cereal box
Pictures of the finished product to be posted very soon
Hi Guys,
I am getting on with my build and whilst I am waiting for the transmission mount to be machined I started looking at the other parts I had and I noticed this...
It's not too easy to see but these are two different sizes.
Is this right? Or do I have one UK upright and the other is JDM??
Thanks in advance
Bizz
TOY!?! that things a beast!!! Like something out of robot wars!!
nah, straddle carriers are small compared to proper RTG's and Quayside Cranes (Ship to shore)
On those too ;-)
Just like everyone else has said it could be your driving style but that aside. Check the brand of tyres and state of tyres. The tyres could be really old too. Also get your geo checked. Is it lowered at all?
A quick snap from today The transmission mount
This will be winging its way up to DIEMAX Engineering in Scotland where those guys will turn it into something special They will also be helping me with the prop and other machining bits.
