Try pulling it when doing gasless

[Jdm-Mcc]

When you say you find a pulling technique worked well with a gasless mig, was this experienced on just the single machine or several different gasless migs?

Im thinking being a cheaper mig, it would have quite basic settings, just coarse volatage and wire speed/amps not allowing you to adjust it to quite suit the application and may have produced a better weld or behaved on those limited settings better while pulling?

Sorry for the thread Hijack.

I pulled once using gas mig, it didn't work and jake woulnd't let me touch it again

Going mostly off hear say, I try to use gas always.

Buy your gas from a good supplier and it also helps

Nearly all my welding is done with a mig, it's a fairly basic machine, but it's does the job well.
I prefer to push the mig, only because I can see the welding line.

Tig should always be pushed for the contamination reasons Ben mentioned before.

Plus seeing where you need to go while your pulling is also harder.

So back to the topic.

I got some exhaust wrap today and some thermo sleeve.
The dump pipe and the tranny cooler lines are in close proximity, and this makes me slightly uncomfortable.

Once it's wrapped up and the lines have the thermo sleev on, I'll fit up the exhaust, re fit the tranny lines and start to think about cooler pipe routing.

Wiring getting finished on Sunday...

Gonna do a home made "kill switch" , thinking of using a reed switch and a relay to cut out a few power supplies to some critical circuits..

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

All sounds on the money to me

Here are some more pics from tonight's little stint:


Jzx100 air box and snorkel 95% installed


Front/dump heat wrapped ... "Tick"


Installed, pic from above, also tranny lines in thermo sleeve.


Pic from below..

The heat wrap is a bitch, you get fiberglass splinters all over you!

Haha how good are the fibreglass spilinters lol, air box looks good too

Intercooler in and mounted:

Pretty massive core, but was the only one I could find under $200 that was in stock and had center outlets .
600x300x100 3" center outlets, bar and plate.





Upper mount is just a section of 20mm box section 2mm side wall.

Has a small alloy sleeve through the center hole

Like so



It goes all the way in and take up the 6mm between it and the bonnet latch support.

And lower mounts tacked in place, again just 20mm box section.
All pretty simple really



Cooler pipe arriving tomorrow fingers crossed.

Having a bitch of a time sorting the neutral start switch for the auto 1jz box.
Any suggestions?

[drift kid]

I really like the design of the cooler mounts
