Life is great once you own 2 V8s
heaps nice, i like it. what springs you using?
Custom 'Proper' springs all round. No angle grinder job here!
I use to have Ultra Low King Springs, but it didn't 'sit' right. The custom springs lowered it 10mm.
Almost not here!
Looking good for 1 of the spectators car- like the dash lol

and 3 Dangerous non ABS VN's
Ha ha! You can take the credit for thatLooking good for 1 of the spectators car
this thing looks nice mate good work what power output you gettin?
Not sure mate, haven't been dyno-ed.....yet
looks tuff as man
As requestedlooks tuff as man
Okay.. finally some progress
*VT booster and M/C –much better pedal feel and more bite
*New radiator, the old one had a few cracks in the tanks so I took advantage and brought a thicker 52mm one.
*Coil pack was moved from under the throttle body to behind the power steering reservoir. After breaking down on boost I thought it maybe a faulty coil or DFI module. This position make it A LOT easier to get to plus it I can use standard V6 S2 leads, instead of custom ones.
Still a few bugs in the donk sort out

very nice, loving how it sits. Pretty rough ride though?
She does ride rough, but it's not bone-jarring. I've experienced a lot worse.
Nice ride mate love the raptor setup on the v6 it would be good to know what sort of PWR its putting out?????
black license in 2 yrs!
nice, i'm on the hunt for a manual project vn. i just like how they look and your's is a good one
More progress...
Faulty fuel pump (a cheap shitty ebay item......) caused breaking down on boost, sluggish and rough idle. Brought a new VS L67 pump and runs like a dream... and plenty of bite too
Also brought a set of L67 injectors to replace the 'modified' or 'drilled-out' injectors.

More progress again
Recently dyno run on a 2 Bar tune (Origins unknown as it came with the kit):
146kW at the wheels running lean as (due to maxing out the dodgy injectors)
171kW at the wheels running L67 injectors
Running a little rich at idle and at certain places in the rev range yet cruising speeds is fine, definitely could do with some fine tuning though.
I think a Haltech maybe on the cards, anyone have one they want to sell?
