  1. Yeah my nizpro cooler is also cool to touch on the cold side after a had run in reasonable ambient temps. Has been like that for the last 10yrs or so.
  2. Face Plated Gears- The poor mans Dog Box https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=face+plated+t56 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-1lk1_ShDA\
  3. This is what Toads is using (complemented by his high level tuning skills) http://www.npcompleteperformance.com/wotbox
  4. http://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/universal/remote-mount2013-10-28-09-53-271073910258/13-row-plate-fin-engine-oil-cooler-kit-with-sandwich-adapter-detail
  5. Mate I just handed you the ball, you're the one that kicked it. Fuck that vid makes me miss the blue meanie and the wot box.
  6. Will the gear stick take off? Barnz, the synchro is designed to brake the driven element to match speed. Removing the engine load reduces the requirement to brake and if the duration of the spark cut is the same/slightly longer than the time it takes for the synchro to align BEFORE the braking portion of it function occurs it's possible to shift without a clutch Not point discussing dog/straight cut gears as a dog clutch is designed to shift under load (basically has larger "windows" of alignment hence can be forced through under load) and a straight cut gear can also be using in synchronised applications the simple fact is cut spark slightly before and during and after the shift to given the synchro time to align and engage and you can shift without reducing throttle input/engine RPM and thus retaining boost on the shift. "Under Load" probably isn't the best way to describe it, also im not suggesting it will do wonder for the longevity of the box but it is doable.
  7. Shifts aren't made under load. No spark = no bang = no load.
  8. Totally doable, but your clutch needs to be up to the task. A strain gauge on gear stick feeding force back to the Haltech should allow you to set the ign cut based on how hard you grab the shit lever. Ihatetoads has it working on his ba using an external controller and some tuning trickery.
  9. not so much pissed off but - what made you look like you've been chopping onions today? Just found out Bika the Roadkill dog passed away.
  10. For me- Site Super/2IC Supt - Site Closed and Transferred to another site as a Leading Hand Leading Hand -Had a falling out with the PM over a safety issue - Resigned Workshop Mechanic role for a small shop in Perth - Got sent to site for a Short stint Site Stint turned into a PM role for an Asset Overhaul Program (manager was impressed with my work ethic and the methodology I applied to the machine shut-downs so asked to manage the project to get it back on target) Pm role turned into a Perth Based Role for one of the Big Two, I'm now earning what I was earning FIFO working 8hrs a day in Perth with a couple of Days onsite a month, but the company well and truly get's it's pound of flesh from me. But I'd happily mow lawns for the local council to keep a roof over my families head.
  11. I changed the smaller numbers to bigger numbers now it's fasterer
  12. I've had two take one or two steps backwards in my career due to economic conditions affecting the businesses I've worked for. I never gone backwards and not had an opportunity present itself that didn't turn out to be a better gig than the pre backwards step. There's no shame in having a couple of "lesser" roles on your resume, it show employers you are resilient and prepared to accept challenges as they present.
  13. I'm not getting at any thing. The threaded part is only a base, the actual switch is just glued to it so the heat is conducted through the brass to the switch. If the flat portion if the switch wasn't touching the water it won't work. I have the same switch on a derale cooler, used loctite hydraulic sealant and it works fine
  14. What sealant did you use on the switch?
  15. Our Fuckwit Premiers Fuckwit Son getting belted in the head in an "unprovoked attack" at a club on Sat night.
  16. 370rwkw. Quick enough for the street and doesn't chew through hardparts. (relative to how savagely the power/torque is brought on by the tuner obviously)
  17. Yeah pretty straight forward. Being that are cars are coil on plug you'll also need a tac driver or some sort to provide the RPM signal to the unit.
  18. Or fit one of these https://aeromotiveinc.com/products-page/accessories-electronics/fuel-pump-speed-controller/
