Yea ill get one up as soon as i can

So fitted one of the trims, realised the brand new door vent i purchased off ebay was not 25i but 15i. So thought stuff it, set the boys up at work and went to two pick a parts, first one had bugger all 25is but managed to get heap of the plastic door plugs and screws. Second one had bugger all...

New trims have finally been finished, had the colours changed from 15i to 25i and had the arm rests done in black leather. Should look good as have black carpets and plastics in the ute. The interior is all pretty much brand new now, its for once nice to sit in. Black carpet etc looks very crisp...

Hey mate how did you do your door trims? Did you do it your self?

You workat a car dealer ship and worried they will flog your car? Best way to know would be reset the odometer, and trip computer. If it comes back with 25L to 100 you know they flogged it. End of the day i wouldnt worry about it. I happily leave my ute to be worked on at various shops. I will...

Old cars haha they either make or break you

Went to a MOSC car meet last weekend she still comes up ok in pics.

Yea who do you recommend mate? As its never been properly dialled in, and lost all the settings on the head unit when batterie was out.

Splits, sub, 2 amps and head unit maybe just under 1500 i would think. But i went high quality gear could do a lot cheaper

Yea got kicker splits in front running off a two channel Fly amp and a mono block running the sub, need someone to have a play with the tuning i think. Lucky my zaust is bloody loud so dont need tunes that much

Hahah yea no doubt but more than happy to tell and show how, i have a vs ute with frs think being original went out the window a long time ago.

Yea i am the same, i have exact same box, i also sound deadened the whole enclosure and made a divider between box and tank, have removed both ports from the back of ute wall as well to let sound through. I have a pioneer championship series sub, whats your sound like. My one is ok but want it...

Yea once i get the interior back in it ill get a vid of it for you mate.

So finally got it all in and working, been busy with work up late quoting jobs for next year so ute is on the back burner and looking at new cars etc. But as usual nothing goes perfect, had the slider just about cut out 100% and the prick snapped so in vid you can see nothing in the gear...

Where did you have sub mounted in your ute?

Advantage of thermos is clutch fan is putting more load on the motor not just a heat thing. I like the thermos as frees up a bit of space for working on the engine. Nice ute!

The interior cleaned up pretty good, i put black carpet in my one as the standard colours terrible for stains

Unless its got the manifold wouldnt think its worth much, what exactly is a fully worked walky motor?

Sits there looking at me, i drove it today, shifter works all good. Dropped door trims off to have them redone. Got few things on the list to get fixed so nice for summer. You thinking of getting the front that low?

what you doing with the ass end?

Did you paint the plastics? How did you do the lower half of door trim. Contact adhesive over original vinyl? Looks good! About to do my door trims, have painted the wood grain gloss black, will go black leather arm rests i think.

Nice yea my one has 410hp at the fly, used it as a daily for 2 years like that with 3k stall. Gets some strange looks when i let it rip in traffic, people mistaking it for another slow loud 5L. Now its a weekender i will push more to 450-500hp. Interior looks good mate

Hence the reason i hate taking my car anywhere, yes i probably sound like a dick pointing out it has zero scratches on car or wheels. And i know its tempting to go for a thrash around the block but please dont. May sound like a tosser but when i didnt say this seen a wheel guy scratch my tail...

Usually you have to go to a registered exhaust shop, they do a noise test and you need to be under certain amount of decibels depending on age of car. Would of thought the fine would say if you needed to go over pits etc. Did he put a noise meter on your car?

Hahah smart move!! So what kind of power are u looking at in it?

So not staying as street car just pure burnout car? If so you do know boxing rails will fail any engineering or roady?

So have been hooking up my dakota shift sensor unit to operate my single LEDS for shift positions with B&M shifter. Was having issues that it was lighting up all of them with a faint glow and gear it was in just a lot brighter. So found the problem and makes zero sense to me. I remembered had...

So made the loom up with a plug as brain of the dakota is under the dash near fuse box. Soldered all the negatives together so can just screw to trans tunel. Had to belt sand few bits from the bottom of the selector plastic housing as shifter mechanism was just kissing it. Pretty much done now...

Cheers boys sorry bit slow with updates, my business is growing rapidly and cant keep up with the paper work side of things at the moment so literally only spend hour here and there at a time lol. Got the money now just not the time. Just want it back on the road for summer with fresh interior...

So set up the leds, work mint, realised i grabbed some 24v ones, still worked mint. Anyway want to move them over just a bit as a bit to the right so you can see the led brighter to right side of window. (Bit anal i know) Even if i go three speed will kepp this setup as third simply will not...

So with the dakota you have the sender as seen here It has a lever on it that can move 180 degrees, you hook a lever up to gear box selector shaft, run a small rod between the two, so that when in P the selector os extreme one way and when in 1st extreme the other. So its like a variable...

Yea was thinking the same thing will be easy to do tho

So got the correct late model 4l60e bracket, was getting all the gears except wasn’t grabbing neutral from D properly. In pic you can see the dekota mounted on top of bracket, has an arm on side of the box with a linkage back to the dekota unit, took literally minutes to set up. After hours of...

Yea def in the F hole on the gear selector, have removed all the correct lockout pins etc todo with the 4 or 3speed box. Yea it doesnt get neutral when lgoing from 4th to neutral but will get it going from reverse to neutral. Basically its the reverse lockout stopping it as looks like its just...

Interesting but my lever only has three holes, anyway found the problem. Made a quick video to show it, i think its actually a shifter fault. Be interested to know if other guys ones are like this. Sorry vid a bit long winded and ignore my bogan voice. B&M pro ratchet shifter problem with 4L60E...

Furk going to be a prick to re run a cable as the vs trans tunnel pretty slim, was a bitch to get the cable in and sitting sweet. Ill have another play and do that as a last resort. Yes you are correct it does curve just before going into the bracket on the box. It pushes left out of drop box...

mmmm got me thinking as it comes out of drop box, loops around to right, then down right side of box,back and slow curve around and under box just before gear box cross member. Then into back of the bracket that holds it to box. All the arcs are fairly gradual, the cable moves very easily so...

Yea setting it up in second park as its like that as gm longer park throw than the fords n chryslers. I am using the hole that the instructions said to use for 4 speed boxes. what is the b&m 2 hole? You talking about how the lever that goes on to box that looks like a hammer has three holes in it?

Yea it is looped exactly as it is on the diagram, when not conected to box it slides in and out nicely. -It is the correct late model 4l60e bracket -bracket and auto align nice and straight -it gets every gear perfectly but doesnt quite grab neutral unless you bang it into gear. But when...

Hey guys so installed my pro ratchet shifter a while ago with drop down box, dakota unit etc, got smashed with work and hardly touched it in weeks. So had issues adjusting and couldn't get it to work, what was wrong was my 4l60e has longer shaft sticking out of box for selector than the early...
