I like how they call them Gatsos

Haha, part of my email made it to the FAQ page years ago, second last one I think. Old people with nothing better to do :P

I've got a couple of questions to ask regarding a small custom coolroom job, if someone in the industry wants to help, drop me a PM! Cheers guys, and sorry for the post but I'm desperate :whistling

Under your dash should be a moulded white/brown coloured circuit board about 30mmx30mm. Removing this from its socket will stop the low coolant warning, and I'd quite confidently say it will also stop the oil one, give it a go.

CRS are still working on one, but it can be done from thier carbie sc14 kit. All you really need are their brackets ($300) and an sc14 off ebay ($400), the rest you can do in the garage with locally sourced parts. See mine in the rides section.

235/35/19" wont scrub if set up correctly with rolled gaurds and an adj. pan hard with moderate lowering. I've heard 215's do the trick on even the lowest early commodores.

Gave her a bit of a hard time after Cruise for Charity while getting some HJ's. Pics explain all :bang: VK roadside assistance (a good mate and I) had her back on the road that night :thumbsup:

Nice man, white walls set it off!

Loctite 406 is the same. I once tore an engine mount and couldn't get another one in for a day, so I loctited the crap out of it and pressed it in a vice for an hour. Held up for a day on a manual 202!

Unfortunately a lot are like that, your best bet would be to put in a 5spd M76 box. Its amazing what an overdrive gear can do for economy. Mine was injected so I can't shed much light on anything else, I got mine down to 13.3L/100km around the streets so I don't see why a well tuned carby and...

I can't remember the colours off my head, but if you've got a multi meter or test light i can give you a few steps that will help you pick them out.

If your cooling system has recently been flushed out and was refilled with your heater core closed (temperature slider in car set to cold) then when you have opened your heater core (slider to heat) you have introduced a huge amount of air into the cooling system that was previously locked in...

Looking good mate!

Fitted a set of Senator Signatures with new 235/35/19 silica's and had an alignment done a few days ago, I'm pretty happy with how it looks. Also finally started chasing a clunk from the front passenger suspension, I'd already done all the bushes, wheel bearins, brakes, pads, discs in the...

What sort of motor does it have mate, 308? 202 carby? 202 EFI? Gearbox? Then we might be able to work it out.

Engine mounts are under $50 anywhere you go, 3 bolts hold them in. Take the weight off the original mount using a trolley jack and a block of wood covering the sump, when the bolts slide out easily you've got the jack at the perfect height. Reverse is usually the first gear you'll have...

Had the car on the dyno at Maztech today, managed to make 145.9rwkw/394Nm 6-7psi. In the future a new motor might be seeing 11psi with hopes to break into the 200's.

Double check fuses and loom plugs under the drivers side dash. They don't fry as much as people think they do.

Cheers mate, just a couple of hours here and there. Still looks messy to me though lol.

The Supra boxes are really good, but there a major screw around. If your running a standard motor theres no point in anything more than the Borg Warner M76 5spd, mine put up with a worked N/A 202 perfectly fine. I've got a speedo cable, clutch cable, flywheel, spigot bush, crossmember and...

Love the paint and the way she sits, looks ****ing tough as!

After a lot of messing around trying to get various parts (mainly the shifter setup that works with the factory holden trans tunnel) I've finally got it to a stage I'm happy with. Just have to get the front half of a VK wagon tailshaft and a new uni tomorrow and it should be done. Heres a...

Nice work mate, looks tough standing still!

These help?

If you've got a picture I could have a crack at mocking it up for you in silver/black.

Damn, whats happening with the big cutout? Otherwise looks like its coming along nicely man.

Desperately need a CRS shifter kit to suit a Supra W58 box into a 202 VK. They aren't able to machine up one of the knuckles at the moment and can't offer the kit for a month. Can anyone help? Cheers!!

I use to run 16 degrees with BP Ultimate (98octane) without any dramas.

Mmmmm Supra W58

Coming home from work last week I put my foot down in first and through to second and the gearbox let go. Sound like it might be a bearing, I'll post pictures up after I split it. Luckily it happened about 1km away from home. Within a few hours I'd rang around for some prices on a Supra W58...

Electrician, recently transferred over to lift mechanic electrician and loving it.

I find its driving pretty well mate, but it really needs a professional tune. To avoid leaning out under boost Liam and I really richened the mixtures up. I filled up with the Shell 100 octane fuel a few days ago and it seems to have improved detonation if the motor is laboured up.

I was always taught never to solder a connection AND use a tunnel/screw connector so I assume this applies to soldering and crimping. Tinning a wire and crimping it could cause a smaller contact area between the surfaces. Personally I always solder connections, its not just because I don't...

Cheers guys! I bought my brackets from CRS to save a few headaches, unfortunately I never took a photo of the bottom bracket, but it picks up the top most engine mount bolt into the block and both bolts that go thru the cover over the mechanical fuel pump point. You remove the original...

Looks nice and tidy mate, I like the internationals too. Good work!

This sounds like something to me, I'd be inclined to remove the connector from the high pressure safety switch and test the resistance of the switch. Firstly with the compressor off, then with the compressor on using the method you found to make it engage. If you start to get a high...

Ok so a bit has happened since I was last on here... The first task was to sort out the BOV/CBV problem, I ended up using a BOV initially because of availability and cost of Bosch CBV's. I worked out where I wanted the valve to sit in the intake piping and got it all ready for a mate to weld...

Drove off a few days ago with a wheel nut key still attached to the front passenger side wheel. Searched the whole garage for it, then walked around the block (probably a 1.5km walk, including a bit of springvale rd), and found it! Jacked my car up from under the K frame a few days prior to...

VkCalaisTurbo, cheers mate. The VK Calais go fine for an older car in my opinion, nothing wrong with the interior design and dash's if you ask me, apart from common problems which all cars have. As long as it has been looked after - should be a good project car!

Cheers guys! Pub, blower drive pulley is a custom 90mm/83mm adjustable unit, crank pulley is standard. I went through all the calc's months ago factoring in everything and it should be 8psi/11psi depending on which side of the pulley I use. The ~18psi appearing in the pipes will drop...
