MetaJew posted:The best thing about my 240sx was that the Nissan FSM was fantastic and the community and documentation on any problems or fixes were very thorough. In contrast, the Mazdaspeed3 community is trash and the Mazdaspeed Forums are awful. Had MazdaSpeed3, am trash. Can Confirm. The Charger community is half redneck and half black guys, so I guess that's better? I can't really stand the rednecks though. Edit: And a small smattering of fat techies who loved RP1.

Thief posted:they're getting rarer so even seeing one that appears to be running smooth enough to daily is enough to get me psyched I just made a deal with a guy on a new project car and when I went to meet up with him he was driving a 240sx that was completely stock and rust-free. I couldn’t have been more surprised if he was riding an elephant.

We can see how Binky's flexishaft thing was built in exquisite detail now https://youtu.be/0tzWC2G3mr0 It makes me feel better to see that even professionals who produce unparalleled work still do things that are sketchy as

My question for all the Binky videos are "What's going to break first?" and "What's going to break so bad that they end up throwing back in the field they found it in?" Also what were the sparks at about 10:40 on the video. With the Abom shout-out, I assume something bad?

If that shaft arrangement broke more than once after all the time and money put into just making sure the car had A/C, and how difficult it will be to service, I'd probably push the thing off the side of a quarry and deny that it ever existed I'm not a machinist, but sparks/blueing/fire on a lathe means that you've hosed something up

Sparks may happen depending on the tooling and material and it's not always bad. Here is what happens when you machine inconel with a ceramic tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1K5QjR3hyU

Echotic posted:Looks to be Te Atatu, West Auckland. Indeed. So a few weeks back the local McLaren dealership had an open day, displaying the first Senna in the country. Parked in front of this.  It's certainly not pretty, but it sure is awesome.            This colour is fantastic in real life.    Big Daddy still draws the crowds too.                 Then there was this old jalopy leaking oil on the floor, which claimed to have won the odd race.

Hit something waaaaaay harder than a high speed tool is able to handle. Nik is a god drat chatter enthusiast... Tho I wonder how much of that was down to the lathe and how much was to his apparent allergy to cutting oils?

I just watched that video and god drat, dude needs to learn how to properly grind a tool. The finish he's getting look like my first attempts in high school metal shop. The first tool he uses to turn down the shaft I don't think is ground at all. It's just the end of the tooling blank

I'm not a machinist, but I watch a lot of Keith Fenner and Abom79 videos because I'd really love to be able to do that stuff. I cringed at the lathing sequence. It was really obvious "this is not how it's supposed to be done." Maybe it was deliberate as a gag. Surely they know better.

I don't remember offhand, but I'm pretty sure I've seen them make good-looking parts before. Maybe this was just at the end of a long project where they had some other issues and just wanted to be done rather than grind the appropriate shape into the HSS blank. Especially since it was just a supporting part for a nonessential system of the car that they'd likely never look at again.

e: nm, i thought i saw another egregious machining error but it's just a super loving weird setup that technically works but doesn't make any sense. I don't know how these guys are able to do all the mechanical stuff they do without picking up basic lathe concepts the youtube comments keep talking about how "lol that poor tiny lathe can barely do it!!! lol" when it's like jesus, guys, that lathe is perfectly fine for the work you're doing as long as you take reasonable cuts and grind your tools into a shape that cuts properly. argh Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Nov 19, 2018 |

Conversely, it's also why I had no issue taking it in trade for my '90 RX-7. I know I can sell it easily.
