Ultrasonic Plastic Welding - BNE

[venicebeach]

Looks great mate. Is 2021 the year the car will drive on the street?

[venicebeach]

A mate needs something pretty technical plastic welded and it must be done ultrasonically.

Anybody got any idea's who does this sort of stuff in Brisbane?

(part is damaged and new stock is 6+ months away so needs it done locally...

[venicebeach]

Half way through the job I just thought 'i've fucked up putting these in'.Turns out, there is no change. The exhaust is fucking loud so maybe that will change when the new muffler goes on? In any case, it's not noticeable at all and I'm a picky cunt...

Cheers boys

So ever since the swap under full throttle/skidding it has felt fucking sketchy as shit. The rear end felt like it was dictating where the car was going even though all the bushes were in good condition.

Decided...

Thanks mate.

A buddy of mine worked his magic on the paint. Came up quite nice being mostly original paint and 30 years old.

This thing is fucking nuts. I love it....

[venicebeach]

Well, headstuds seem to have worked. Not spraying coolant anymore and car is ripping. A mate said he would lend me some radials so hopefully I can get to the track ASAP....

[venicebeach]

Thanks mate.

Yeah a few people said i have other issues since they ran more boost and made more power but both the Scotts said I'm at or past the limit of what they'd consider safe. They know these motors well. Wasnt a big deal to put them...

[venicebeach]

Well, Hoffman said I'd be on the stock headbolt limit with the most recent retune and it eventually started to pressurise the overflow. Im going to install a pressure sensor to monitor coolant pressure but I had some ARP studs laying around so I decided...

[venicebeach]

Honestly half tempted to try something newer down the track once my stockpile of a340's are finished....

[venicebeach]

Thanks mate.

Will buzz them after the holidays....

[venicebeach]

Where did you source these Norbs? Mine are slightly different but one side of my bonnet sits slightly lower than the other and it annoys the shit out of me....

[venicebeach]

Did a quick search, no real recent threads.

Does anyone have any recommendations for mobs that make custom steelies. Looking for 17x4 and 15x8 with weird backspacing (3.5 and 6.5 respectively)

Cheers

[venicebeach]

Yeah I'm not sure what it owes me. I'd rather not think about that.



Si si. Soon.

Scott @ next level told me he had a gbox thing I could snag. Shot down this morning and grabbed it. Pretty keen to get this in and...

[venicebeach]

I have a real soft spot for these things. It looks excellent mate. Well done

[venicebeach]

Ok awesome. I will reach out to them again.



It does need to be a bit lower I think. It feels pretty sketchy at the top of 3rd.





Yeah I went a bit nuts with them over the last 10 years....

[venicebeach]

thanks mate. I called shockworks about a set of coilovers, he said he might have a set spare but never got back to me. any idea if another run will be done apart from the 5 that were pre-ordered?



Thanks mate. It's actually...

[venicebeach]

Thanks guys. No skid vids yet. Soon.

Pretty keen to find some radials and go to the track to see what it will run. Hoffman said you need 550hp to run a 10, so I might not get there until it cools down a bit....

[venicebeach]

Not sure why the videos didn't work above.

[venicebeach]

Hopefully that's somewhat legible. This thread was kind of an afterthought and the build happened quickly....
