[LJS-UTE]

What state you in PSIVY6?

As for the diff gears, opinions are very vast... I would suggest 3.7:1 or thereabouts..

go to this site man, its pretty good, will give you lots of info and there is a speed/rpm calculator for certain diff gears based on your wheel size etc.

Gearboxman - information

ok cheers mate will have i look, im from tassie by the way

[Raptor Charged VX]

HSV diffs are nice to work with

[Raptor Charged VX]

hey mate have u got any more pics of ur setup

[psivyv6]

hey i finished my intercooler set up 2day, and my ute wouldnt start hahaha.......when i turn the ignition on it says there is an airbag fault and an abs fault, when i try and start it the car just clicks like its a flat battery?i looked in my manual and it says the car will stil run without abs but the abs lite stays on but im not sure about the airbag one, it just sounded like the battery was flat but it has no reason to b flat? the battery is charging now but i thought i would just post this up incase any1 had some idea of any problems i mite have?

[LJS-UTE]

interesting... car will still run with the SRS airbag warning (mine has been displaying for the last 2 months, know what the problem is, just too lazy to fix it!). If it just clicks like a flat battery, theres a darn good chance thats what it is. Can not explain the abs fault though... did you move any of your ABS components when doing some 'plumbing'? SRS airbag warning normally comes on after removing a seat and un-clipping the wiring loom

You also have a reasonably 'trick' stereo system, might sound silly, but have you been listening to some tracks while working away? Wont take long to kill a battery without the alternator running..

[Raptor Charged VX]

hopefully its just ur battery mate.

[psivyv6]

ITS FINALLY FINISHED!
it was just my battery after all, and once the car started the abs and srs lights went off? got no idea y the battery went flat tho?
the car runs great havnt had a real chance to test coz its rainin here and jst spins everywhere, boost gauge showing near 12psi, i only hav a cheap gauge tho so not sure how accurate that is.so when she dries up here ill go 4 a good spin. will get it dynod in a week or so i rekn

[LJS-UTE]

Good to hear mate, you must be stoked, looking foward to hearing the results after your car goes for a spin on the rollers!
