99' Series 3 VS S-Pac Ute.
This thing is mint as man, it sits tough as and I'm betting it sounds even tougher.
I think I have seen you before. I think I saw you leaving southland once turning onto nepean highway, the thing sounded tough as mate.
I was a few behind you in my VS Ute wishing to god my 6 sounded like that haha.

Thanks mate hope to get some work done to it this weekend. Hook the knock sensor up with the 195 chip up. As I think the performance chip it has is ****, chews fuel. Plus the knock sensor will be used when 355 gets dropped in

Well had a productive day as fixed handle as the rod had piped off the lock end as GF had reefed on the handle when door was locked. Facepalm
Fixed the indicator, tab had Brocken on back of steering wheal. It flicks indicator off when wheal is returned to center.
Fitted knock sensor
Fitted it to passenger side just in front of starter motor, as plenty of room under extractor as opposed to drivers side!
Then ran wire thru the protective heat shield that starter motor wires run thru.
Then ran wire up to the rubber geomet on passanger side but could not figure out how to get wire thru it as it's so thick. So heated screw driver with oxy and pushed a perfect size hole thru rubber grommet.
Pulled computer out and plugged wire into the engine loom position d5 and then simply installed chip!
Car goes a lot better as the ss is the 165 motor! It's now the 195hsv package!
This is how the ute sits at the moment would like it lower but this is already on the stops, thinking of getting air bags for when i have a load in the back.
