Hi all. I recently got my heads milled 40thou to bump up my compression to roughly 11.1:1 but now my valves hit the top of my pistons. Cam specs are as follows 282/288, duration @.050 232/238, lift .599/.601 What are my options in solving this problem? Any help would be great. Cheers

I just checked the pcv. The lines are fine but the rubber boot around the valve is cracked. Can you by the rubber boot or the valve and rubber by themselves?

Ok I will check all the pcv lines and make sure there all ok. Well I might give it a early service and use a different oil and see if that makes any difference. How do I install the catch can setup? Is it just a matter of putting the lines from the pcv into it and then capping the port on the TB?

I run Castrol magnatec 10/40. The car has just under 170,000km so not a whole lot Id say. I don't drive it hard just the odd squirt every now and then but not sure about the previous owner.

Hi all. I gave my car a good clean just before and checked the oil and water while I was at it and I had almost no oil on the dip stick. The car still has 2500km until its next service and when I serviced it last time I put in an extra litre because I knew by the time I service it the oil is...

I was more thinking that someone might have/ know of someone else with similar or the same specs that could give me a rough idea if not I'll just wait till I can drive it down the strip

I would but its about 2 weeks from being finished (ls1 into hj) I am just curious to know what sort of times it could run roughly! Definitely going to heathcote to give it a run when it's done

If I posted the specs of my engine and driveline etc is anyone able to give me a rough idea of what my car would run on the 1/4?

I'll have to start rounding up some photos I think majority of them are on my old phone

Nah I don't have a thread as of yet but I will get around to it once the car is complete which should be a week or two. Basic rundown of it is - absynth yellow 74 hj kingswood, cammed ls1, turbo 350, 9" with 4.11's, MacDonald bro's rear end, mini tubbed, convo pros! Have done all the work myself...

Thanks EYY I double checked my earths from the block to the chassis and one of the terminals was loose so tightened it and it solved the problem! I haven't got the VATs disabled yet I was just making sure I had oil pressure etc but yeah forgot that I needed to get them disabled for it to...

Hi all. I have just put an ls1 in my hj and was planning on starting it up today. I have a brand new battery and starter motor in the car. The engine cranked over fine when I was trying to get some oil pressure up but now I have gone to start it and it will crank once or twice and stop as if the...

Ok no worries thanks. I have hit a dilemma. I took the lsd centre out to replace with a rebuilt centre that I bought. Now the diff I have is from a VT/VX so I bought an lsd centre that is to suit a m80 diff. The centres look the same but on closer inspection the one I bought is approx 14mm...

Ok awesome thanks for that. I knew it had something to do with them just didn't know how they came out! Ill give it a go

Hi guys. Just a question I've searched but can't find a clear answer, how do you get the IRS diff centre out of the housing? I've taken the little axles out of each side but can work out how the centre comes out from there. Any help would be very appreciated

Thanks for the reply. Do you know how much lift can I have before I need to fit valve reliefs? Yeah I will be fitting some new rod bolts for a little extra insurance! I was thinking the first cam also because the other two may not work too well with stock intake and TB etc

Hi guys. I know this question has probably been asked a million times but I am stumped on what cam to get for my HJ which will be a weekend car and used at the strip. Now the engine isn't in the car it's undergoing a rebuild, bottom end will stay stock but will have the heads slightly...

Ok thanks for the help guys. Can I do a compression test on the engine out of the car? I was reading up on a static compression test and they only talk about it when it's in the car and running. Cheers

Ok no worries thanks for that. What is the best way to determine wether or not the rings need to be replaced? As it has only done 140,000km. Cheers

Hi guys. Just picked up a LS1 to go into my Hj and I want to freshen it a bit before it goes in. The engine has approximately 140,000km's on it so is in pretty good nic. All I want to do is put new piston rings in, a cam, double valve springs and do the rear main seal. Now I am wondering...

Ok so I went and got a new fuse and a brake switch put both of them in and the warning light is gone and brakes lights work fine! Thanks for all your help guys I appreciate it a lot!

I found the switch and it wasn't screwed all the way into its holder so I took it out and pressed it in and out a few times then put it back in its holder all the way so the button was pressed right it but the light is still on. I didn't have a multimeter to test it. How expensive are they? I...

Which one is the brake light fuse in the fuse box? There's none that actually say brake lights etc

Ok well I had a quick look for it before but might have to pull the plastic covers off etc. I don't have a multimeter handy so may just have to let it flick in and out. How big is the switch? I'm not sure if its factory but I didn't use an adaptor it was just a round plug that was in the boot...

Ok I'll check that now! How will I know if its faulty etc?

Hi everyone. So the other day I hooked up a trailer to my WH for the first time and the brake fault warning light came on ( I didn't know it was the brake warning light at the time) I just thought that light might have come on when a trailer is hooked up. Anyway I did what I had to do and...

Hi guys, i have a set of pacemaker extractors in my vl which has vn heads on it. I was just wondering would they fit in a vs? They have the same heads and almost identicle motors so how do you think i would go? I wanna know for sure before i go taking them off. Any help much appreciated!

Inbox has been cleared, Nah sorry mate $140 posted

Hey. Nah not sure but i just had a quick look at the instructions and it has reccomended settings for Camber which is -1 to -2.4 so i guess you can set it to that with this kit.

Nah mate sorry thats half the price i bought it for and its still brand new.
