No idea lol it’s cooked mine also

Massive believer if you want the box to shift properly you do it mechanically not via the tune.

 

The amount of big dollar boxes I’ve seen destroyed cause tuners think they are trans experts is unbelievable. Mate who works at a big name trans shop used to see it weekly.

Found a solution G Force sell a CV upgrade kit for my driveshafts, using stronger Porsche units. Then I’ll just get my original shafts machined down and I’ll be good to go! Gary when you measured up for driveshafts, did you do it once the subframe was back in the car, or before you installed it?

I’ve found with the standard shafts, the shafts break or the splines strip. Never had a problem with the cv joint.

Yep. I twisted both mine and one cleaned snapped after my 5k Calder launch lol

You will fit it in under no worries. I was very close to getting my Single Plane under

Well Nats 21 was 2008. That year the mob had just come back from SEMA and cleaned up. Some Aussies came up with the idea.

Wonder if anyone makes them for rigid rear springs great idea.

check out the K-Mac coil jackers. I think they have a design for solid rear axle springs. Fully adjustable with a tyre wrench, no c-spanners

 

i seen these at summernats 21, ages ago.

You will love the go pro. I’ve got some awsome footage skiing and riding. For what they are, they are killer.

The way it stands now I could get the Lexcen on club plates… it’s a bit of a joke.

Then you could take me for a spin LOL

Not much happening lately. Just doing a tone of research and working out how I’m gunna go about certain things. I’m going to change up the HX and pump/box setup. I’m thinking big picture 😉

Over the top modified vehicles running club reg. Soon all modified vehicles with be subjected to wear a club reg plate that states modified.

Copper can see this. Pull u over and go over your mods etc if they aren’t engineered. You loose the plates.

Its to stop all these blokes with blowers out the bonnet etc scamming the club reg system. As well as blokes who daily drive their club reg vehicle and don’t fill out log books

I honestly don’t see a problem with it, well the modified part.

Don’t you bloody hate that. Arms deep into a job and ur missing tools or parts

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Not sure about the later model stuff but I know with VR/VS. IF you do a ppsr(rego) check on the vin it will come up as a berlina or exec as that’s the base model.

 

Then to confirm the HSV part you have to do a HSV check.

charge density is dependent upon isentropic compression efficiency of the compressor….

 

Laymans, Better compressor more air in cylinder.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

You have more compressed air with boost. Better VE %

E85 uses more air vs fuel so increase.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

It’s a quick money grab and then if shit hits fan they bail. But all other cars in the club get reemed also

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah mates v7 was pushing 750HP. Running 9’s

Dont forget blown is pushing a hell of a lot more air then NA. E85 adds some more also.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Big crack down is about to happen. All these dodgy clubs and member will get caught and shafted eventually.

Then when they do get caught they need a roady to get registration again. So if they are modified. It’s only time.

NickVR – Is yours a V8 conversion? If so the cluster will still think its a 6 and will be receiving 33% more pulses than it expects, so will read higher.

Shouldn’t do, VR V6 and V8’s used the same diffs/transmissions with the same VSS so there is no difference between V6 and V8 in terms of speedo signal as far as I am aware.

speedo no. Revs yes

Yep guessing it’s done for steering clearance, I spoke with Darren at Difilipos about lengths when I was building mine, he said longer primaries would be better than shorter if you had to make the choice and I agree with a car that needs to operate with a wide powerband “Tuned Length” is very low on the list.. I was running 1-3/4 primaries on this engine when it was in the Tonner and while it made great power it always felt a little strangled, this time I bumped it to 1-7/8 and with a less restrictive exhaust it’s wakened it up some!

Exactly. People are telling me to just run the 3/4 they are plenty. But even with my mates v7 355 the 7/8 made a massive gain on it. Generally find going bigger headers means you will loose 1-2lb boost as it’s less restriction.
