Ah yeah cool ill have a look around if this doesnt work out. from sitting in the car it doesnt feel too bad (im 6’6″ so i sit pretty far back) but will just have to see how it goes.

I only made this out of like 3mm mdf, just to get an idea of what it looks like. What plate did you buy? i remember seeing it in your thread somewhere.

Yeah i like the A pillar look. easy to see too. was even considering keeping oil temp/pressure on the pillar and putting a phantom clock in the middle, but $150 for a clock is about rediculous haha.

This is what it looked like before. I didnt mind it. everything was in my field of view, but just didnt look good enough.

And here’s what im doing now. Water temp and Engine oil temp. (obviously a old gauge in the middle)

In the middle of those two will be a volt gauge, then will be moving oil pressure to probably on top of the steering…[Read more]

Thanks mate, appreciate that.

eventually when time and money permits om going to go an autolocker. I’ve got 3.45:1 diff gears here already and a bearing kit, just need to purchase the auto locker. Couldnt justify the cost of a tru trac.

Bought some new gauges for it today as the speco water temp gauge is already reading incorrectly (tried a…[Read more]

I reckon no walls looks better. Mint looking ute too!

Hey guys, keep jumping on here every now and again. cars still going good. been driving it every now and again. Took it to a local meet the other weekend and was lucky enough to get a photo. Have had a few people ask me if its carbied haha. Also had a few people comment saying how tough it sounds, which makes me pretty happy haha. Not bad for a…[Read more]

haha wicked skid! sounds tough as hell!

good to see you’ve made the switch over!

I can agree with that! went passenger in a mates VX clubby at powercruise. 408 turbo pushing 750 on run in. 6 speed dog box. Makes it way more fun chopping people grabbing gears haha.

Would love to see this car in the flesh one day

If you dont mind me asking how much did the 4wd locka set you back? Was looking into that for my car and the shops only 15 minutes down the road.

Be cool to see this at matsuri, will be heading out to watch this year!

yeah exactly. Learnt my lesson, Least it did no damage. just have to be very careful i suppose.

oh and dont buy fuel pumps off ebay. What i thought was a genuine walbro was a cheap piece of crap. Now has a raceworks in tank pump and loves it! solved all the problems with the car.

havent updated in a while. Just been tinkering in the background doing little things to the car.

Took some photos with a mate when i first got it running.

Just been out driving it every fortnight or so and just enjoying driving it

Have to admit, it’s pretty cool having two cars from 1990. My Vn and my Daily GQ patrol td42t.

And my…[Read more]

this thing is awesome! i think i saw some pics of it at powerplay?

cheers for the reply guys.

I’ve just stumbled upon something. A standard throttle body opens the throttle clockwise relative to the TPS. On my  proflow tb, it open it counter clockwise. Could this potentially be my problem? and what would be the way to go to fix this?

hey mate, Yeah the car was previously tuned for the manifold change before i got the manifold put on.

Not bad for original paint on the old girl.

thanks bud. Honestly i couldnt tell you, ive done about 1500km in it since i rebuilt it. Been strugling with a miss under load for some time. Changed every sensor on the manifold and still this same problem. Gonna start a thread to see if anyone has an idea.

but i drove it today. Did the manifold change last week and the back leaked oil. so…[Read more]

looking sharp mate! love that interior.
