when mentioning the word 'pro' in relation to a wheel it always conjures up the following wet dream



convo-pros...if you put these on i would fill my pants. *in a good way*

[Blown V6 Hatch]

As much as i like Convo Pros, they need to be big on the rear, 10" wide minimum IMO (which you obviously won't get on the back of a HQ-WB without mini-tubs ).

[nemesis_adrasteia]

just to be different im gunna say put a nissan 6 turbo in it. lower it some nice wheels. keep the front thats on it now, it looks better than the twin headlight front.

[Blown V6 Hatch]

There's only one good single headlight front in the HQ-HZ series and that's the HQ (infact, it looks heaps better than a HQ twin headlight). HJ-HZ, twin headlight shits all over the single headlight.

remove them strips along the sill asap. they are the devils child. ask my hz panelvan. put it this way. those strips were my sills. still a good buy for the 4 poster, dragways big factory aircon, and geniune ss steering wheel

[Calaber]

They're just "LE" rims not GTS rims. Those honeycomb rims were only used on HX LE Monaro's, that's it (I agree though, they're hidious). GTS rims are what i've got on my ute (mine are 15" and widened though).

Not so. Those rims were optional on HZ GTS's, but were silver instead of gold, and looked much better. I have a pic of a GTS with those rims from an HZ sales brochure.

[Blown V6 Hatch]

Ok, i stand corrected. I'd still rather proper GTS rims though...

[Kurtp]

That shit is dumppppppeeeeddd yeeeh bro

[Curran]

Lowered springs and / or lowered stub axles. You can't drop those cars much without lowered stubs and keep it legal. I think CRS do a kit (they used to anyway).

king springs...

coil compressors really help, so the spring doesnt take your face off. but yeah, leave the wheel on (if you can) take your shocker off undo the lower arm then jack the car up slowly and as you do itll let the spring out. if you take the wheel off or take the top arm off first, the spring will shoot out at a million miles an hour thusly removing your face. not fun. i cant remember the EXACT way to do it, but once you look at the suspension parts it should all makesense.

(i hope)

edit* oh block the lower arm first

You will be lucky to get spring compressors in there.

1. Support the car chassis on an axle stand. and remove the shock absorber/wheel
2. Crack the ball joint
3. Support the lower swing arm with a jack and then undo the ball joint nut totally
4. Slowly lower the jack and the lower wish bone will swing down and the spring will drop out

Just do the reverse to put the new lowered spring in there.

i know this thread is a bit old, but i love the car mate!

any updates on it? im only a p-plated and i have a wb panelvan, i love these old cars!

oh and i think the solid wheels u were asking about are the centreline auto-drags, bloody nice wheels! in the process of looking for some for my van!

anyway keep up the good work, good to see another p-plater with a good sense of style when it comes to cars, not these other young fellas driving round in non turbo skylines and stuff lol

cheers

Nice, im a big fan of people trying different engines rather than chuck a bbc chev in everything. You can get just as good performance, for less, and be economical if you be creative Then you have something that is different than everyone elses that stands out.......

Just my opinion anyway

[walesy]

2JZ in it? hmm now thats a thought, would crack along then, and its different

What happened to this thing? interested to see what stage it is at?

[Curran]
