    My 1986 VK first registered in 1987

    I thought I better resurrect this as I have kicked myself in the arse and started accumulating some goodies after the old engine was running worse at low revs. I found out the reason which I thought was a burnt valve turned out to be a vary bent pushrod, The engine was always a bit off-beat but...

    Extractors for VK Black 202 Carburetor engine

    if you want to make the efi headers fit just make 3 spacers for you inlet manifold so they come out far enough to clear, you have heaps of room and cable has enough to reach.

    When was my VK made?

    Australian export to NZ but it doesn't have the big VIN plate, NZ never required VIN plates until 1994. I know it's a nothing special car but more interested as the number doesn't seem to match what I see online. It is a 1986 model first registered in January 1987 BTW I am about to upgrade the...

    Extractors for VK Black 202 Carburetor engine

    to be precise, you can't put EFI factory extractors on the Carby engine with the stock carb manifold as not enough clearance

    VT Track Car

    This is a good conversation, a mate of mine has been building and servicing race cars and his advice to me was not to a run a rear bar unless you need it. He wants me to run it after giving it a wheel align then tell him what it is doing and he can then work on fixing it. I would suggest this...

    Fast Internet?

    I feel for you, and a lot of the problem must be local connections as here are my tests from Christchurch 8:20am NZ Local time Brisbane 76/84 (Voda) 58 ping Sydney 57/80 (Telstra) 156 ping Melbourne 47/81 (Telstra) 147 ping It was the same here in NZ, anyone can upgrade core components or shape...

    Fast Internet?

    Yep thats quick alright, Corporate circuits are often on Gb connections and usually guaranteed (not contested), but its great to have a similar opportunity at home for NZ$60 a month now :) Even if it is contested it should give some very quick downloads and no doubt plenty of copyright...

    Fast Internet?

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but looks like NZ is well on its way to having high speed Internet at home. One of my work mates did a test on the newly released Gb home connection here in Christchurch and got 636Mb Down & 548Mb up! Christchurch is the latest Gigicity, all 200Mb connection...

    Fast Internet?

    I tried the same server as you, I don't do gaming but I would imagine it would be great for online games. I hope it it gets to you soon :)

    Fast Internet?

    Speed tests are an indicator if you don't use your ISP as the Server. I used London Vodafone in the UK for the first test as thats about as far away as possible from NZ My local connection gets 98 down and 110 up but then its basically an internal connection at 2ms response.

    Fast Internet?

    Dam thats a bit rough, are you in a rural area?

    Fast Internet?

    But what do you actually get and what do other places get in real speed? I am a Network guy and trying to get an idea. Btw here in NZ it definitely dpends on which ISP you use as they vary hugely

    Fast Internet?

    Living in Christchurch and I have recently hooked up to a 100/100 connection and thought I would share and compare with what speeds you get in you neck of the woods. Interesting I spoke to someone in Melbourne and he was gutted at the speed I am getting and said on a good day he got 11Mbit....
