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 well did a round trip to Auckland so about 1200ks ,,, so I have been doing work on the vb and it’s just about done going to sell this one , have got all the interior back in not going to put console back in they just look ugly, I have removed the 308 given that a clean up and paint (black got rid of the green) have cleaned up engine bay and sprayed that as well so just putting it back together so will be a nice clean factory 308 sle with a 6 speed so hope it will sell quick , still got to do brake and fuel lines as old ones were f*&ked  pictures

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 480rwhp and fans keeped it cool hope that helps

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 ?????

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

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

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 , up to you your car ,this also can be about motors , NA,Forced, Nos Manual, auto anyway eaither way it will look good and go hard  just thourght maybe a group three

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 striaght vanes ,i uped mine to 12psi and went backwards so went to vortech   what a differance chalk and cheese just my thourghts and some info

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 gearbox thats including all what cara listed

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

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

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

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

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

Cheers Steveoss the trouble is here in kiwi land they are not common here as wrecks  as for the vt-vz irs is common as sheep here ,,,,,,,,,,, well maybe there is more sheep ,,, and I just picked up some vy rear hub and arms to strip down will post up if this works

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

Hi Gary just to pick your brain, I am putting the bigger rotors on the 9″ I’ve got and if you can think about when you did the hand brake change over would it be easy to convert the vt stuff on to the 9″ and can the backing plate etc come off without removing hub 

Cheers Frazer

Hey Gary just thinking outside the box could you cover each box bring  pipes out of each front and modify a otr

then you would have it filtered , you could incorporate it in to bonnet so maybe the covers and otr lift up with bonnet ,, just an idea looking good any way
