Clutch t56 putting this up so may help someone in the future so some may know that the early t56 vr-vs come out with a cable hydraulic clutch so cable on pedal to a hydraulic master then over to the passenger side slave and it’s all a pull clutch and this made it a real heavy clutch this was a big issue as it started damaging syncros mainly r…[Read more]

Hey all it’s been a while but plans have changed I found a better car to start with a lot less work for what I want to do so now I have a 83 vh commy a 92 year old was still driving it he had it 27 years so it’s in good condition just the common things like boot lip and a couple surface rust bits but easy to fix it has the 3.3 blue motor but goes…[Read more]

Hi the vn-vs are all the same I don’t think it lowers it any more than the orginal but it just means its under the radiator you could add to it with taps to get to lower  a standard bumper only sits were the valance is so no further back the that so penty of room , fans are au (ford) work really well,the gold vk had a 355 vortech s/charger 480r…[Read more]

hey bud this is what I have done

we are lucky here in nz we don’t have to run charcoal or emisisons so putting the lsa in the vb will just need certification and a db test (85 or  90 decibels )

Hey all in nz we can not use rubber lines for fuel has to be hard lines under car that is ,each end can have small amount,  when i do mine i am going to run it inside the car with the brake line as long as it has bulk head fittings so not joins in the car

Just out of interest what is good about the vt booster swap in the early girls ?????

Hey gary just to add to that the early girls had the hub and rotor in one not like the vr . i would go with holmart i got mine from there and they are made very well, check out my build i think there are pic o there of the hubs

sheet metal sounds like the way to go i just did it to the vb

Hey just a thought not sure if the vr-vs has the plate rivited to the tunnel like the early girls but you could drill the rivits out and move the plate forward or backards to get the bottom gearbox boot on

on another note yes the T56 is a great box and very usable

congrat on the conversion

I agree Gary they are nice but when some one does somthing more to there liking and not follow the leader , just little things like white paint and black trim instead of chrome or colour code the bumpers and mirrors ,you could still do white over sliver and the black trim just don’t do black paint with black wheels i don’t undersatnd that one ,…[Read more]

Wow ready those chargers are still around i had one and i came to the conclusion that they were disigned really badly the man problem is the impaler wheel then the bearings , i would assume by the power level it’s on 7 psi as i got 260rwkw 350rwhp out of mine , if you want more psi the impaler wheel need changing to one the looks like a turbo not…[Read more]

Hey heron sounds like it will be nice, you could do what lj has done I know it’s more money later but easier to engineer now , lj he went with l98 and whipple so you could do whipple later (and you may get that under the bonnet as lsa are about 45mm too high , I’m going down the lsa route in a vb-vh and have allowed 20k for the motor + th6060 g…[Read more]

Hey Gary found the book it’s about pulling down engine and then rebuilding it  pic below  , also i only found out 5 years ago how turbos work but 12 for super chargers

hey gary thats a good book to learn of there is another one i’ll have a look for it , will be a good for the young fella, once he has done that he can see how turbos and superchargers work

Hey man when I did the t56 in the vk the p/m header were never design around the t56 even in the vr-vs as it was not common enough for them to do the r&d  so in vk  304and vb 308 I had to modify the passenger and drivers side and from memory the vr-vs header went in front of bel-housing  and down the passenger side so it would be a 3 piece se…[Read more]

looks nice bud and very clean

I’m nicking this from Gary (picture please or it didn’t happen)

Nice race car it was my favourite era the vn-vr in the v8supercars some technology but not too much
