HSV Z Series Clubsport - Plenty of swag!

[סּ_סּ]

can you get the exact part number of your spring (in the photos) for me? (because sl ssl and sssl are all bullshit most of the time & king apparently only has 2 sizes..)

i am having a tonne of drama with my pedders springs.

also have you changed your strut bearing tops? and why no new struts/shocks?

[hsv453]

The springs are filthy but i'll see what i can do to get the part number... Yes new strut bearing tops. Had all my struts/shocks servied. With the factory HSV ones it has the smoothest ride

[MickVYSS]

It's a shame that you had to change the springs, as the car sat great. The wheels really suit it, well done.

[hsv453]

Still for sale, had a lot of interest lately in it thought

[Coxy92]

THATS SOO F"N NICE MATE!!! how hard is it to get on a hoist haha?

[hsv453]

i have a bluepoint long reach jack that is 69mm high for about 2 foot, cost me $550 for it but it is well worth it. Just take that with me whenever it has to go somewhere on a hoist so they can jack it up to get the arms under haha

[hsv453]

I have a guy who is trying to fly down in about two weeks to pick it up, fingers f**king crossed. It is so hard to sell this thing!

[hsv453]

This guy still isn't 100% so still open for offers on this baby. 4 Brand new tyres put on

[hsv453]

Buyer didn't pull through so F**K it! No longer for sale. SSL are back in the front and the SSSL go back in this weekend. Major service next weekend and 3.9 diff gears next month!!!

[BookMe]

You'll love it again after the diff gears. BUT 4.11s or bust. Best upgrade ever. In 6th gear it revs at 1800-1900. I still get between 8-9L/100 as well. (VY Calais cammed LS1. T56 6 speed)

Seriously though. 4.11s.

Sorry to hear it didnt sell mate, but glad to see your keeping it better fix your sig too then

i feel 4.11's will be way to short, mine sits at 1,600rpm at 100k's. My tuner says 2,500rpm with 3.9's. I'll talk to jesterats as he has 4.11's in his z clubby but definately looking forward to doing this!

Oh forgot a photo. Freshly polisheddddddddd. Be good if it stayed this clean!

[Surfwagon]

Looks very shiney, great work.

2,500rpm with 3.9's sounds a bit odd. Some of my mates have 3.9's with their 4 speed autos and get slightly under that. Around 2,300rpm. Another mate has 4.11's with his auto and he gets 2,500rpm.
I can even supply exact rpm numbers as we've tested and used gear calculators on another forum. But the rpm numbers would be for the 4 speed auto.

VZ Clubsport run a t56-m12 which has shorter gears than the standard t56 used in non-HSV VZ's and earlier. Thus the higher rpm with 3.9's.

Basically, a t56-m12 with 3.73's will be reving about the same as a normal t56 with 3.91.

So a VZ Clubby manual with 4.11's will reved a fair bit higher than your car with 4.11's.

For a toy, go 4.11's mate... for a daily drive, 3.9's will be plenty.

Though I have to say, not seeing how your tuner worked it will run at 2500rpm with 3.91's. I'm pretty sure I run at around 2000rpm with my 4.11's in 6th at 100kmph.

Glad to hear you're keeping it btw.

[BookMe]

Well there you go. But still 2000rpm is so much better than 2500rpm.

[hsv453]

Thanks for the info guys, appreciated

[hsv453]

Just replaced oil, oil filter, clutch fluid, power steering fluid, coolant and spark plugs - $20 a pop and need 8 of them! Cleaned and re-oiled air fliter. Running Castrol Edge 10w-60, clubby absolutely loves it! Just sounds like it runs so much smoother on it.

Also fixed up my sub box as it was a little loose and fixed up the wiring to one of the screens as when you'd go over a bump it would cut out now and then.

Put 10mm spacers in the rear and it now sits perfect, not leaning to the back and shows about 15mm of tyre. Very happy with this height. Will put up some pics tomorrow after i clean her!

[Matt02SS]

Love it mate..

[hsv453]

Thanks I got snap happy today!

[Surfwagon]

One very sweeeet looking ride.

[hsv453]

Dual 3.5" bevelled polished stainless tips get put on tomorrow. Not a fan of the current 3" tips

[hsv453]

I really really need a new phone, this picture is terrible but you can just see the new tips, sooo much better then the rolled edge 3" ones.



Going to Adelaide in the clubby this weekend, 350km drive there and then back so should rack up some K's. Looking forward to driving it on the open road for the first time since the motor work has been done. Will take some nice shots of it too whilst im there

[hsv453]

Just thought i'd throw up an old pic i found of it freshly polished



And here is my old mans calais! Lowered on walkinshaw springs, rolling on clubby wheels, 5% tint and a HSV exhaust
