Hey. Dunno if this is the right spot to post but yea. Im Nathan. Im an apprentice mechanic for Victory Ford so if you have any Ford Q's for me I should be able to answer them lol. I live in Murwillumbah. Anyway now for the important stuff...

I own a 1991 VN Commodore S 3.8 auto. Its my daily driver which im slowly doing up as funds allow. So far Ive added clear tail lights, Gates Racing blue serpentine belt & Im working on the sound system at the moment. Not to distant future plans are to lower it, window tint & supercharging it as a mate offered me everything I need to supercharge it including an intercooler for $400 so ill snap that up as soon as I have the cash. Oh also have LED parking light globes .





















Also have a VP Commodore thats my parts car. Was going to do it up but has a broken LHR stabiliser bar mount. It has a shift kitted auto I want to put in the VN, 2.5in exhaust system I want to use but Im not sure if it'll fit cause I think the VP has IRS. Also has an expensive woodgrain steering wheel, brand new tires & windscreen & heaps of other spares as its a nearly complete car. Oh & it has NO oil leaks belive it or not.

My old man has a VP S Ute 5.0L with a shift kitted auto, 3in exhaust with one cat & one muffler, Pacemakers extractors, CAI etc etc.

Picked up a VP SS bodykit for it today so hopefully ill start fitting that tomorrow or the next day.

Also got the woodgrain steering wheel off my parts VP to go on tomorrow too.

looks like its a good project,

my advice, remove the red strip, and put some hub caps back on it or fit some classy rims, i reckon the HSV rims are ace and would suit it (my hsv SS came with a set of 16s)

if you want a bit more go message greenfoam and get a chip off him

and if you decide to supercharge it remember that if you run it un-tuned you will be replacing the headgasket.. also the PVC needs to be changed otherwise you will boost into your crankcase and blow a random seal out...

ive got a ford question, Why did ford decide "1cm above the cyclinder head or close enough" is a accurate means of setting the timing chain? on the old sohc I6? :P

Haha VP SS kit is partially fitted so car might be getting painted soon depends if I wanna keep the blue.

As for supercharging not sure what im gonna do now. Talking to a mechanic at work about it & he reckons theres really no need to supercharge it just fit some Mitsubishi 380 injectors, chip it, gut the cat, & give it a good 'tune' (like quality plugs, leads etc etc) & you'll be laughing.

Setting the timing chain?? What do you mean? Are you doing a head gasket in one?

Wow ive jut realised how old these pictures are.

Since then with the interior ive added my woodgrain steering wheel, Autometre throw-over seat covers, Pioneer head unit, Pioneer splits in the front, Kenwood 6in in the parcel shelf, Kenwood sub in purpose built Kenwood box & Rockford Fosgate amp.

Mechanically it has extractors, 'modded' cat, 2.5in exhaust with single Lukey muffler, Supercharged V6 CAI & chipped.

Exterior Ive aquired three 17in rims (as seen on the front. If anyone has this style for sale let me know). I put the black bonnet off my parts VP on it for shits & giggles....A lot of people like it but a couple of people dont. Give me your opinion.

Suspention wise it now has thicker front sway bars & heavy duty bushes & ultra low Kingsprings. I have superlows for the back but need to get the appropriate lowered shockies first.

Ill upload some pics tomorrow.
