Looking good man!

thats a senator roof spoiler yea? will deffs fill out the lines

iv thought about getting my roof wrapped aswell, not much left in the clear coat but until it actually peels I’ll keep waxing haha

and nice pic up on the skinny spare, good for drags

how are you embedding your photos now? all of mine dont work :(

id race with higher suspension, but figure if i can make it fit at that height theyll be good no matter what. it also looks so good haha

its within mm of not scrubbing, need to work the inner guard and probably pump the outer abit too, just to be safe

ill be getting solid bushings for the rear, which will help straighten it too. pretty sure my…[Read more]

I know the attachments work, so will use them for now

I picked up my wheels a while ago now, and finally found tyres to go with them. I want 275, and i wanted 28″ tall, but wasnt fully confident to buy new incase they didnt fit haha
managed to find 275/60/15 mt et street s/s for $40 each! a steal. theyre down to the wear bars but doesnt matter…[Read more]

VRSenator065, why are all the photos on your page still in good nick but all mine have failed? how did you upload all of yours? trying to workout if i need to repost all my photos as attachments or if there’s a better way

you’re right pita! ahah

hey all, have some updates – new mt et street s/s on the car – looking sweet !

is everyone else having the issue with photobucket pics when theyre uploaded? – the links arent working?

what speed would you be expecting vrsenator065?

loving the build, any extra info on your nitrous set up? And install pics? I’m hoping to be spraying by Chrissy 

Looking smart 

agree id drop the front a smidge but leave the rear – it is a ute after all

so clean I’m loving it, I have to try some of the vinyl revival on mine..

heyya, super happy – I’m keeping my gmm cam for now so gave this cam to a mate who’s building an ls torana
which works for me – want to hear how the comp cam sounds and performs ha

nitrous kit was 800 from a guy in SA. one of those lucky times when you get in first haha same kit from US would be ~1200 shipped.. plus whatever taxes they throw at you

Picked up a set of 243 heads for a mate in SA, bargain plus after a chat the guy threw in a comp ‘mystery’ cam for free! Some research found it to be comp cams XFI XER 54-448-11 which is 238/240 .605/.611 – not a bad day at all!

Iv been doing the measurements, and i believe i can fit a 275/60/15 tyre under rear for drags. considering I’m…[Read more]

Few more updates on past upgrades:

Aeroflow oil cooler adapter, improved racing design copy but can’t fault it. no issues with installation or since

massive thanks to the guys at Exhaust Technology in Adel for knocking this up for me. Will probs need a muffler for most tracks in Aus haha but does it sound horny! 

I’ll be back down in adelaide around chrissy time, hoping there’ll be some racing – will see you there! I’d be very happy if I was in the 11s with current set up. What would you be hoping to run in yours?

Hey Sands, you might be in luck – looks like the mounts are the same. You’d need to put a set of engine mounts in too though, cant have the…[Read more]

Thanks! Its coming forward slowly, have more to upload when I have time.
I dont have much idea what it’ll do at the strip but if I want to have a chance against my mates Torana I’ll have to break 10s haha one day!

I absolutely love my revshift mounts, I have the blue trans mount and green street/strip engine mounts (http://www.revshift.com/product-p/pmm-vtt.htm) they do transfer some vibrations to the cab, however they really help you feel in tune with what the motor is doing, aswell as holding the motor nice and solid in place.

Few more photos from various stages of the build;

After its first clay bar and proper polish, the higher front springs are still in at this point

The tex clutch going in, the stock one was too beat up and couldn’t handle any of the power after cam

Fire Extinguisher Mount:
Its been flipped around since this so its quicker and easier to get…[Read more]

not sure what I did posted a whole lot of script..
