VN Skid Car.....

[S2_VR_]

Hey Guys.

i have a VN Wagon here and want to turn it into a bit of a skid car...


It's only a 6.

i need some ideas for it though..
also can i run the car with no cat?... just run the "Y" Piece and headers??..

So far the list is...

*Remove Bellmouth thingo
*Weight Reduction (seats, all the things that dont matter....)
*Weld the Diff up


lol short list.... what else can i do?.. to make it more powerful, and sound better (cheaply if not free!)

anything unroadworthy welcome!!..

thanks

put a hole in the bonnet, find the biggest pod you can and stick it out of it

[S2_VR_]

was thinking of taking the bonnet off.... lol... just put a tarp over it wen it's not being used...

might make my own CAI Pipe from the throttle body...

remove glass from rear.

LOL @ guy with hole in his bonnet and pod filter sticking out last night, @ VCC.

OK, so you want to drift your V6 wagon. Im assuming its an auto?

OK, what i did to get my VP ute drifting (auto)

Was lowered HD springs, shocks
4.11 gears mini spool
HD suspension parts, as in HD sway bars.

Besides that, on the cheap.

4.11 gears, mini spool
Drop it on its guts

And learn to do the old scandinavian (sp) flick

Put 14 inch tyres on it

[S2_VR_]

why 14's?? and why reove the glass?? and i wanna make it into mainly a burnout wagon.... but occasionally drift the pig


was thinking of taking the front quarters off, and rear and passenger doors and welding like sheet metal over it.... (weight reduction)

[KiWi1]

Then do the cheap shit i did on my VP ute, and it will drift

ok first up ya on the right track but ya should have used a mini spool not welded the diff up it will destroy its self relay fast with welding i run a pod through the bonnet on the vp i use to race as seen here http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/...717235338.html

i wouldn't bother with taking the doors out if ya take everything that's not necessary out it will be plenty light plus the deadner ect as for the exhaust nothing from the cat back works i made up a pipe so to vent the hot exhaust out the side



apart from that get a shorter belt and remove ac ect good luck

[S2_VR_]

ahhh ok... i havent welded the diff yet... how much is a mini spool??..

and would autobarn sell the shortened belts??

autobahn supercrap ect all of them sell the belts im sure they where used on the utes (tradesman type )

the mini spool is lets say 80 - 90 $ on ebay and a couple hours work well worth the time

nice we dun this wif *** all mods first things to go were gearbox n fuel pump the ol buick still goin tho

[rob drag racer]

just before i killed the vp mentioned above i raced it for half a day and then did a burnout comp with bugger all oil pressure (bugged oil pump ) it was only after it was parked overnight i started having issues lol

[rob drag racer]

and diff gears arnt necessary but do make a difference

[S2_VR_]

haha yeah well hopefully i can keep her going for a few weeks... Not too hard until i can really show her off.. haha i'll post her in "My Ride" tommorrow.. and watch as she is born and dies....

no doubt first thing that will go is the box... but i have a few layin around haha..
i actually think the pump might be buggered in it now... but i have a few aswell so all is good..


wat would the diff gears be now?




any more ideas guys...??

[rob drag racer]

cut the springs down as low as ya can (this has nothing to do with the burnouts just looks cool ) it will also aid in not tearing ya rear bumper off when ya blow the rears

[S2_VR_]

i can also get another VN wagon, everything is sweet but needs a new seal between motor and box...

i can get it for $200 haha so that could end up being V2

lol gonna do that tomoz ad put an old set of shortened shocks in it...

i wouldn't worrie about the shocks to much if ya only burning out and occasional drift

[S2_VR_]

it has none in it atm, it's like a trampoline. hahaha... pretty fun....... is it ok to chop me front springs down too??

should be fine for the front

[vr_shart]

put a line locker in it, near driver seat. it locks the back brakes of so the fronts work and nothing holds the back.

will go off the show!

i don't know if u can do it to a vn wagon but when i removed the spring shocks and bump stops out my vs ute i used two u-bolts linked together on each side of the diff to hold it to the under side of the tray so the diff couldn't move, looked tuff as **** and had no traction at all.
also rip out any interior parts you don't need and maybe get in there with a grinder and start cutting shit out.
also remove the back brakes completely.

[rob drag racer]

either that or clamp the hose for the rears i put an inline tap in mine but thats because of raceing to
