    disc brakes

    Brakes Another option is to replace your caps with an early type cap possibly. I can sell you a VT upgrade kit but it may not make any difference to the caps at all. This kit is $470 The other option is to convert your VP to a VR / VS front end, the only drama is the top hat needs to be...

    Brake conversions

    Brakes The VT kit is $470 with all you need to do the job. They are much better than any other earlier kit like VS which do not bolt on anyway. They out perform the VP brakes by more than 30%. The master cylinder is a good choice if your smaller than 15/16 otherwise not needed. Takes...

    Easter Nats look out

    Specs Still under development with the ute at the moment...we have been on and off the dyno 7 or 8 times every time we make a change and go forward with the power. At this point it is still a stock VT 355 roller cam engine. We have fitted 1.73 street Terra roller rockers and a BBK 80 mm...

    VT Brake Shudders

    Be very carefull with your choice of rotors and pads....DBA and PBR are generally not very good due to being to hard to pass OEM spec on life. The OEM rotors are PBR. A slotted slightly softer rotor is the best by far. Allows a bit of give under all conditions (wet/dry) and with the slots...

    Brake upgrade questions

    Master cylinder The 1 inch master is no needed in most cases. 15/16 is more than enough to do the job. What ever car your fitting the upgrade to a 1 inch master is available for. IE: your fitting the kit to a VN you can buy a 1 inch to suit a VN....the VT masters are only to fit the VT...

    Farty backfiring problem

    Try wetting the crankangle sensor when it is playing up. If that doesn't help I would replace the TPS. Lastly would be an injector service. Any problems we have all parts in our shop. Tony.

    VR power steering rack

    Power Steering Rack Unfortunately you can't just replace the seals. A change over rack is $225-00 plus fitting. Whereabouts are you? If you contact a mechanic he should be able to tell you how much it would cost to put in. Cheers Tony

    What Was Your Very First Car?

    Have to admit to a spagetti jet, AP5 with the slant 6 I could not brake and the impala 3 speed floor shift I broke every five minutes it seemed. Payed $50 for it and sold him several weeks later for $200 to buy a real car.... HT Holden and the love affair started 1982. Tony.

    Strut Brace... Are They Worth It?

    They do make difference if you drive your car with a bit of haste, or jump over the centre isle on round abouts.

    I can do an exchange 3.08 diff for the VP for $350. With new carrier bearings and seals. Ford have a 3.23 diff as well that fit in the Commodores. The VL 3.45 is better for launch but are prone to being a noisy diff ratio. Tony.
