Already run a plasma cutter off the 15 amp.

I've just renovated my garage with a full electrical rewire including 3 phase 5 pin plug for 22 Kw charging and a 1 phase 15 amp plug for 7 kw. Just for future proofing.

I'm averaging 22.5km per 100km around the city. Sometimes worse.

Found this cool shot of my YT ultra-lite roller rockers in Higgins Heads. Beautiful.

That is a nice pic. Great time and mph. Well done.

I was in Italy in October 2023. 5 weeks of museums, history, art, culture, beauty. We hired cars on 3 occasions and it was very easy driving in Italy. We had one true car day. Morning: Maserati factory tour Modena. We walked amongst the factory technicians hand assembling the Maserati MC20...

C'mon @crew chief tell the story of what happened. Did your 700hp torque monster twist the hell out of the driveshaft engineered for half that? Is that your 10.67?

I was not clear when i said "back to stock". I should have said that I reverted to the tune that was originally supplied by the auto rebuilder, Craig's Transmissions. I reverted to their original tune they provided for the 800hp build. They subsequently supplied a more drag race oriented tune...

It's almost 2 years to the day that I created this thread and picked up the car with the blower and other mods. The car has gone from stock to heavily modified. Since then, I've done 15,000 kms and blown a stack of cash (pun intended). I love driving the car at every single opportunity. The...

Yes. I had the trans rebuilt by Craig's. It was the 800hp build. I did have an issue at the drags some months ago. It turned out to be a broken sprag clutch. Craig's did me right a fixed it under warranty. More info on my build thread here...

Just back from holidays in Europe. Enjoyed doing a Maserati factory tour and test driving a V12 Ferrari for a bit. All good.

Depending on how many k's on the car, you might also want to think about new lifters and valve springs.

Here is my recipe for 600 whp. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/vf-sleeper.292416/ Things holding me back from more horses are a quiet exhaust and small cam.

Never a truer word has been said.

They said it can happen if getting axle tramp. I don't think I am getting it. I can't feel it and don't see it in front/rear dashcam vids. I've already got full poly bushes in the rear. This was recommended to help get power down and was done at the same time as the blower install. Craig's did...

I have the FDFI Harrop 2300 and thermal spacers. Fits no problemo. No clearance issues for the VF. I reckon 600 rwhp is plenty for the street. Any more is only good for the track or bragging rights. 1. Get the absolute best possible new high performance sticky tyres for traction. So far, I've...

Yep I got a call from Craig's just a few hours ago. Apparently I 'rolled my sprag' They tried to explain it to me but this auto stuff is a bit over my head. Apparently, it can happen if getting axle tramp in the burnout. Anyway, the sprag is fixed, the auto had a service/new fluid and...

what are the cam specs?

Amongst other things, I monitor my coolant temps and the run 90-95 degree C on average. I'm more interested in air intake temps.

I raced from Sydney to the Gold Coast on the weekend. The race is 384 nautical miles. 55 boats competed. It took us 2 days 20 hours. Here is the onboard footage of the few minutes before the race start. A little hectic and intense. This is GoPro 360 footage which is cool.

@Wayne1 I suggest that you have a read of this thread to work out what spec of wheel you need. The VE may be slightly different but you will get an idea on width of wheel and wheel offsets. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/widest-wheels-and-tyres-scrape-free.296738/ Try searching...

I went to the drags tonight and the car shat itself during the burnout on the first run. The engine is fine. It might be the diff, drive shafts or trans. The car limped down the track to the car park. Everything looks normal on quick glance. The car went off on the flatbed to the mechanic. It...

The next level above the next level.

Here is a wrap of last night's roll racing. Some impressive and totally insane cars in action!! Hear the engines scream.

DESCRIPTION: Swap/Trade ITEM: Harrop FDFI Supercharger Pulley 75mm 6PK - you might get 10 - 12 psi and a few extra horses. Retune may be needed. LOCATION: Sydney, North CONDITION: Used DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Pick up. PAYMENT OPTIONS: Six pack of Coopers Red CONTACT DETAILS: PM me...

I don't mind watching some of Richard Holdener's before and after dyno results on youtube. A heap of LS runs and comparisons over a long period of time. Mostly he's focused on peak power and torque. For me, street drivability needs to be taken into account rather than peak numbers. That said...

I raced in the Sydney to Hobart last year. Here's a short vid crossing Bass Strait at good speed.

I recently got this Ryobi one for wheel nuts. No complaints. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-hp-4-mode-brushless-compact-impact-wrench-tool-only_p0405165

A gauge is an instrument rather than a tool but anyways I bought this tyre pressure gauge from Sparesbox. Not sure how accurate it is but it sure looks cool.

Roll racing is popular. The event is sold out for next week. Until next time then.

Interesting re grip and temps. It gets quite a bit colder in Adelaide. Racing starts at 6.30pm in Sydney. Current temp at 7.30pm at Eastern Creek is 17 degrees so hope all good. Traction with Horsepower is everything!! I've been looking at a few Youtube vids from RR in Sydney, There are some...

There is a roll racing event next Saturday in Sydney https://rollracing.com.au/ I've got my Raiden Drag Hero's that I've been using for the drags. I'm gunna roll the dice give it a go. @crew chief what tyre pressures do you run for racing? EDIT: I see you run 18s in an earlier thread. I've...

Not this time. The tuner did last time. I hope the anti-abuse stuff has been over-ridden cause I want to beat on this car for the numbers.

I've searched. Can you send a link or two please?

Does anyone know a better drag tyre for the 18 x 10 ? Is there a slick?

This trans was fully rebuilt for 800hp at the flywheel ( 2 months ago). It's been back once already for a trans reflash. Will go back again.

Agree with lifting and dipping. Too much. I had 1/3 of a tank. No spare or anything else easily removable in car ( mats/ boot liner etc) The new stall converter is 2500 rpm. What rpm stall you reckon at the tree?

Fully agree with this. Need to do at least 3-5 seconds burnout. Start in 2nd and shift to 3rd. Aiming for about 5000rpm.
