So if it was an early headed V8 like VC said you'd just swap in the engine no worries. For running VN heads and the inevitable problems with header clearance you will run into you're better off changing to a VN-S K frame and VN/P rack. VN/P rack is because they are splined whereas VR/VS are not...

I'm going through this at the moment, 20 year old HSV parts are thin on the ground and drug money. Not old enough to be reproduced either sadly.

On that note

Before I go further, have you checked the earth behind the battery on the inside of the guard? That's where the cluster earths, its a pain to access but start there if you haven't already. But sounds something is switched around there, has it alwasys done this or is this something which was...

Bit of a thread dig, but if anyone is keen to check out some drifting Round 1 of the 2024 Championship is on This Saturday at the Calder Park Thunderdome. 9-5:30PM.

Lol, I'll point out the owner of the trailer and paddock are different mates too. Anyway good to see that everyones agreeing that the HT is likely the way to go rather than conflicting opinions. Will go see the tyre shop when I get some time and get it happening.

See its not my trailer nor my paddock haha. I do like the separate rears idea, but can also not see myself being bothered changing wheels to suit the weather either haha.

@Fu Manchu could you please confirm yours works with your 92092444 relays? I bought one specifically to test those and it doesn't seem to do anything, works as expected with the smaller IN 0511 relay but with both the 444's its just solid red unless you're holding down the test button in which...

Highway terrains are my general thought too, but the trailer I currently use is stored in a often wet paddock on the side of a hill, and these sort of similar situations where I'm trying to manauver around on less than perfect surfaces (often whilst towing) makes me think maybe AT's. Generally...

These showed up today American Racing AR62 16x8 0, bloody cheap for a full set of wheels so couldn't resist. Now to decide what tyres to go with highway terrains or all terrains. But will be on the ute sometime soon.

Very cool that you have the production line photo

Better get that sorted before the trip in a couple of weeks then ;)

When I was at uni the split for engineering was 99% blokes 1% females. Nothing stopping them but most women I know aren't/wouldn't be interested in my line of work and visa versa with my thougts on their chosen industries. Nothing wrong with that, but the whole quota nonsense is just rubbish as...

Probably wreckers is your best bet, probably be all of $5.

Ended up bridge the coolant hose which had run through the factory heat exchanger, due to it being suggested to me to keep the fluid flowing as RB's can be fussy with this. No photos of this as seen above gettign photos of this kind of work is nearly improssible. Did manage to finish all the...
