    What's your favorite motor?

    I'm with Darren_L, love the 308/304 and the fact it is home grown. As Darren said they are great in a light bodied car, had an LH/mild308/4 speed combo that was an absolute gem for high speed cruising.

    I would go the next step and fit a1rm pads instead of the hpx. have these fitted to my VR and they bite.

    VN manual conversion wiring.

    I have done the conversion on my VR V8. Had the ecu vats switched off so it does not show the check engine light. Use a product called speedo healer by healtech industries. Also did as Geek2.0 says in regards to neutral safety switch etc. The VN box is not an electronic box like the VR so you...

    Be prepared to put your hand deep into your pocket. I have been chasing one for a while and the prices I have seen them go for are outrageous. Good luck with the search.

    VH SLE - Driver's Window Adjustment

    It may be hard to notice but one of the arms may be slightly bent (the passenger side on mine had a bent one and would not close correctly, one good hit with a hammer got it straight and working) Also check the foam tape packing that is behind the bailey where it runs past the mirrors is still...

    Upgrading VR V6 brakes to V8 or possible VT conversion

    ABS and non ABS are the same master cylinder, how many outlets they utilise is different. Have done the VT front conversion on my VR and drove it for a while using the stock V8 master/booster and the brakes were ok. I then upgraded to a VT master and VS plastic booster and the brakes are now...

    load ticking in left bank

    You wont need the compressed air, the job can be done without it, just make sure the cylinder you are working on is on TDC (remove all the plugs, makes it easier), keep the rocker arms to their original position and oil them up as you assemble. As 383 hatch said, replace all the springs. You...

    VH SLE - Driver's Window Adjustment

    Using the diagram as a description, if it is on the same side that shows the rear guide channel it can be adjusted by moving the pivot plate, generally rear bolt down and front bolt up. If that is fully adjusted and it is still not closing tight it may be a collapsed roller or bent arm on the...

    Help? how difficult is putting vt brakes on vs ?

    Don't know how the VE upgrade performs but have to say that the brakes on my VR now have real bite. I fitted new front and rear discs, QFM A1rm pads, kitted the front calipers and the master / booster change all for around $450.00, money well spent.

    Help? how difficult is putting vt brakes on vs ?

    No Special tools needed.Calipers bolt straight on but only after you mod the backing plates. You will need new front rubber brake lines approx $100.00. The VT front discs will require hub spacers approx $40.00 on ebay. You can use a VS plastic booster with a spacer or mod the screw in the VS...

    vr vs brake upgrade......

    ABS on mine is fine. You don't need to make sure the booster is ABS but the master cylinder. I think the only difference is the non ABS has three outlets and the ABS unit only two. Non ABS can have a bung fitted. Try and get a hold of a VS reservoir as well, it sits correct in the engine bay...

    vr vs brake upgrade......

    Completed the last of my vr-vt conversion yesterday. Fitted the vt master with vs reservoir and vs v6 plastic booster. Made a huge difference over the standard vr master setup.Very happy!!!!!

    Inner window rubber/felt strips

    Have done these on my VR. As stated I lifted the clip lock strip off but instead of using sikaflex I bought dynagrip weatherstrip and trim glue from Supercheap Auto. It is essentially a black quick grip and used the same ie. apply to both surfaces and let it tack off for 5-10 minutes, then join...

    Has my vats been turned off????

    That's a bit harsh, can't speak about trx100 but there is a guy on there that does memcal and ecu exchange I think called delcode1. His work is good, not too expensive and he is very knowledgeable. I sourced him off ebay when I did my auto to manual conversion, he turned the auto vats off for...

    IRS or live axle?

    V8 Supercars car of the future is to be IRS/trans axle setup, so very soon. I found IRS handles nicely, physically appears more fragile but have not broken one, possibly harder on tyre wear, though I have started going towards higher wear rated tyres for my last two sets with better results.

    Vn/Vp V8 t5 gearbox questions

    Sure you can use it but not sure the pattern it bolts behind. The newer blocks maintained one of the patterns. Also think the clutch spline is the same as the m20,m21 & 3 spd all sync box of the earlier model V8's
