Are you wheels really only +31 offset Gary?

 

You would struggle hard to fit that on a vt-vz especially with Forrest size tyres. Vr-vs must have heaps more room haha.

I actually cant think of anything I hate about my Senator in regards to build quality and standard features etc.

Probably just how hard it is to find a decent set of wheels in a decent offset, without having to sacrifice tyre width because of the bloody join between the rear quarter and back doors. I want 285’s damn it!

Pretty awesome that such a large automotive manufacturer took the time to respond to your request. Awesome!

One of my favourite looking VY Calais mate, beautiful.

Ill get a few measurements when i fit my brake kit for you if you’re on the fence about it too.

Cheers mate, will be going braided just need to know if I should buy them for a 04 or 06 as I need the extra length. Might just contact a brake specialist and ask what fits the bill.

Brake’s have been painted, unfortunately they wont be fitted for a month or two due to work and holidays :(

You got it Gary!

Don’t think so Grant.

The bleed lines had to be swapped around to suit my car. If you could just swap the calipers left or right you wouldn’t need to change the bleeder. I think Haha.

On the CTSV the calipers are mounted behind the front rotors. On VT-VZs the calipers are mounted in front, so the bleed lines are swapped around to keep the pistons facing the right way

These fookers are huge! Hopefully fitted this coming Sunday

Beautiful car mate, VH SS is one early girl I certainly wouldn’t complain about having in the garage, love the track orriented build too!

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

No complaints from me mate, I just have them on their softest setting for daily use. If I go through some twisty stuff I’ll stiffen then up a bit. Only take 10 seconds.

Recently did a trip away in it. 300ks each way. Got out at the end feeling fine. Not worn out etc from the harshness.

 

I’m not sure if they’re rebranded or not mate. I think they’re made in the same factory as pedders just ‘re branded. And cheaper haha.

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

Cheers mate, ill give it a go! A little bit of modification needed, but very simple. Anyone who knows me know’s I’m no master mechanic, if I can do it anyone can haha.

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

Didn’t buy concave wheels for nothing ;)

VS, they certainly do come with brackets to mount them up properly. Full brembo kit for the price of a set of 6 pot front alcons haha.

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

They’re factory brakes that appear on a car you’re quite a fan of, the LSA CTSV.

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

New big brake kit ordered.

6 piston 350mm F

4 piston 330mm R

Should pull up nicely with the next planned power mods.

Not bad for factory white and amateur detail I thought.

[JabaParticipant Perth, WAVZ Senator View build HERE Member since: February 18, 2015 Posts: 103]

How far can that alternator move inwards towards the balancer? Perhaps where it sits now is where it could sit under tension, and when you release the tension the alternator moves inwards a little from where it sits now. Rather than moving outwards?

Could you use the aircon belt to run the water pump? Not sure if there is room for the belt, but the waterpump ‘pulley’ should sit close enough tot he motor to suit the AC belt.
