    Default Andrews 95 VR Ute

    Hey guys

    Just thought i'd post up some pics of my pride and joy

    Here we have a 95 VR ute

    Engine: refreshed 5L
    port and polished heads
    double valve springs
    stage 2 crow cam
    yella terra roller rockers
    yella terra stage 2 charger
    Micro tech piggy back
    Rising rate fuel reg with intank walbro pump
    pacemaker extractors into high flow cats and 3 inch mandrel exhaust

    Box: T56 6 speed with hydraulic conversion

    Diff: 2 way shimmed lsd with 4:11

    Suspension: Coil overs in front, super lows in rear running monroe's

    Done other various bits and pieces, leather seats and decent head deck and speakers, only thing left to do is fit decent brakes to the front of it which i plan on doing pretty soon

    Been on the dyno and pumps out 312kw and 1168nm at the rear wheels, hope you guys enjoy!

    very nice. and very clean.
    those leather seats look so comfy aswell

    and i would never have expected that much torque and power if i was to just see that car on the street.

    keep up the good work
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    Looks very nice mate. That's quite a lot of Torque for a VR Ute. I had a VS SS Ute with a Standard 185kw 5L and 5-speed, and that lit up 2nd really easy on a dry road.

    You must be impressed with the looks and the performance of it.

    Woz.

    All that power backed up with a T56 and 4.11's, this thing would tear down the road with no effort!

    Looks very clean too, I'd never expect that it had a tough drivetrain if I saw it out on the street.

    Considering VT or VE brake upgrade for the front?

    1st gear doesnt do much really, so i just take off in 2nd everywhere

    Was gonna do VT fronts, i forget if i need brakets or not to make them fit and im pretty sure i have to change the master cyl too

    Poor girl is off the road at the moment, blew a rear main oil seal last week so the engine will be coming out.

    Few mods will be happening at the same time,
    Thermo fans to suit the radiator
    Few refresh pieces
    Deleting the heater (i live in Katherine and its fkn hot)
    Modified standard airbox to be fitted (it's too dusty up here to run a pod)

    So i've been on exercise for a while and i'm done so i ripped the engine out a few weeks ago



    Pulled the sump off to find something has gone very wrong somewhere, full of metal shavings. So i ripped the caps and bearings out to find them all stuffed, crank is stuffed too.
    So i've been doing the math and working a few things out and i have the money so i'll be building up a low comp 355 engine so i can keep it charged

    I'll get some more pics on asap.

    Nice clean ute, andrew I'd love leather seats in my ute. What I like to is the clean on the outside look and mean on the inside engine bay. Not a heat seeker.
