@@placeholdername3206 I usually use the fittings supplies. And yes I recently purchased a large amount of ptfe hose and fittings made in China that were better than ones I had been supplied by a “reputable” performance parts supplier. I should add that’s removing the fittings and spraying the threads with some lubricant goes a long way in helping insure they can be removed later and the thread is clean. Thanks for commenting.

@@lowluckgarage My main issue with the supplied fittings on some things is the intetnal diameter is tiny. Like, you'll buy a fuel rail pr whatever with -8 fittings and the internal diameter is more like a -6. And thats where i worry that whoever makes them know they break, so they made the diameter smaller to have more material 🤔

@@placeholdername3206 thats true I have a few fittings in my collection that are clearly incorrect. I think some are a machining issue and have the incorrect size machined when finished. But like you said there a few that are suspect with thickness around a shoulder or threaded parts. With most of this stuff you are the quality control before you fit the parts 😂

They are not a common wheel but are a very cool design !

I totally agree.

Thanks for the input. That day was very windy and I was on a tight schedule to get it ready for the owner to collect and get a few other exhaust jobs done 👍

S13 Silvia ?

Lifted the motor up was the best I could come up with 😬 there maybe a combo of tools but I didn’t have them.

Thanks for watching mate. Glad this could help you.

It just has lowered springs. Unfortunately from a petrol model so they are not actually lowered coils just sagging from the weight of the diesel. Removed the bump stops. And welded in a shock extension so the heavy duty short travel shocks have full travel. I’m going to go back and make a few adjustments maybe coil overs ? I think the tie rod ends will need to relocated to stop them from binding.

Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for subscribing I appreciate it.

Subbed back mate !

@@lowluckgarage sweet, I’m trying to get my b1600 on its arse but because I’m running a 12a it’s heaps lighter. I’ve already chopped the coils to barely captive. I’m going to try some lighter spring rate coils out of another car to see if that helps. I have another one that’s getting bagged. Love the stance of yours

@@pj3635 We have the total opposite of problems when it comes to coils. The rotary is lite even though people say it’s not. I can lift an FD 13b with no hot or cold sides and no accessories. I have had a quick measure and look at the coils and you may be able to use E series falcon fronts ea eb ed Ef el. May be lite enough once you halve them. But live axle commodores have a similar size coil to the falcon fronts. VR VS commodores and if they are stock or stock replacements they are pretty lite coils. Worth a look if you have a local wrecker and can check them out see if they will work.

I didn’t have that problem with this one although I have seen that happen before. It responded to adjustment. Both the spring and the adjustments screw can be an issue on some FPRs. Even with the dead head carby regulators from China I had found an issue where they had no adjustments and it was the ball not seating correctly in the body of the regulator. I guess it’s quality control and a little luck sometimes.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@lowluckgarage thanks for the reply. I bought the same reg. Fingers crossed. You earned a sub! Thanks again.

@@fastfnhemi4384 appreciate it !

Priorities. Sometime safety takes a back seat to getting it done.

Just slid a steel rim off our Mira under the gearbox cross member. Chassis stands don’t go so good on those river rocks and we didn’t want to jack it so high👍. Thanks for your comment and Thanks for watching.

Great point! New Wheel Cylinders are on the list.

I’m hoping he can do all the work in the future I can just relax. 😂

Tha would be great

Thanks 😁

Thanks !

The 17s look big on this.

It looks to be rusty water I’m guessing from the header tank or radiator.

Not sure sorry mate haven’t had to rebuild a PQY. In the past if I have had any issue like incorrect model or defects I have just had them exchanged or a new one sent out.

Ok thank you sir I’m definitely trying one out !

Good question. The Australian 302 (Cleveland) only had the closed chamber heads and this is factored into the compression ratio. Although used to raise the compression ratio on engines the closed chamber heads also known as a quench chamber is beneficial in its design. It’s a very common chamber design on lots of different brand and style heads. Unfortunately adding them to a stock (Australia) 2v 351 will raise compression a little high for regular pump fuels. But if you’re rebuilding a 351 with steel factory heads then yes there are benefits in adding 302c closed chamber heads and lowering compression with different pistons and or modifying the chamber. Research quench chamber and you will find information regarding valve operation and spark plug / ignition performance. Thanks for the question and hope this helps you in someway.

I have only ever seen two sets in the wild. And they had been fitted to Mazda 121 bubbles. At the time I couldn’t think of a better wheel for a 121 😂😂

Thanks mate, it’s an 82. And Thanks for checking it out !

It’s been great so far and still going with no issues. I have it mounted in front of an 044 so it handled some high pressure. Thanks watching and commenting and have fun modifying.

I was thinking to buy this regulator for my nitrous sistem Do you know if this will work good for it

Not many left now but they are a good thing capable and enough power when running good.

@@lowluckgarage yeah mine has about 460000kls on it

It would depend on the engine the power and how you want to use it. If it’s a built motor and you plan to drive it hard on the track or drive it hard for extended periods an oil cooler would be the go. For a street engine like this 1jz I think the oil temps should be fine but we will keep an eye on them when it comes time to run the engine in.

Thanks ! And thanks for watching. At the moment besides the interior and wheels the rest will remain stock. I will have a new video up soon I have just finished a satin clear coat and a good cleaning of the engine bay. I like the original farm paint but unfortunately if you check out the previous videos the original interior was too far gone.

Just the way it is. I have been defected for not having a full windscreen washer bottle And that’s Queensland.

Thanks for watching. It is hard to tell just how much is too much slack. I have seen some motors with so much slack you would think they shouldn’t run at all but are just fine. Because of the crap in the oil pump I think this engine was probably loosing oil pressure also making all the issues much worse.
