Gilmer kit

[HAZZA-VN]

Howdy was wondering what a Gilmer Kit is and what it actually does, would it be a good investment on a burnout car?

it makes noice arron and stops belt slip be a waste of money mate

looks like this. its a poor mans blower (it sounds like it has one).
has no performance potential whatever but can aid as in it has no
belt slippage at higher rpm's

In most cases they are nothing but wank factor. They sound like you have a blower, thats really about it.

For a burnout car you will probably get some legitimate use from a gilmer kit, however if your car mainly drives the streets doing single pegger skids, you dont need one.

.. gotta say they sound pretty sweet though

Well once the rego runs out on it in month and a bit it wont be driven on the street at all although its not been driven on the street since i brought it late november anyway so yeh, It will be on and off a tow truck or trailer then doing 20km while rear wheels are sitting at 120km

i had one on the injected 5.0 litre i had in my Nissan Patrol..... i ran a VB Commodore fan to suck plenty of air through the radiator and the vee belt squealed it's @$$ off under high revs, which i used frequently
Put a gilmer drive on... sounded good, and did it's job


definately not for wank factor

Kewl are they hard to install?

[Hunter SS]

not overly..... took me about 30 minutes to fit mine.
