Nice write up mate, forgot you had a live axle, gives more room.  Nice work.

Yea it looked really nicely balanced, (and driven well!!)  Top work.

Nice, I am interested to see pics of it installed.

Man thats shot reminds me so much of my ex cop pursuit VR I had back in the day, 5L 5 speed with SS gear.  Looked juts like that.  Nice…

No, they are for the fronts.  These go in the hub section of the rear discs so the smaller VR handbrake shoes work.  Apparently, these guys sell them http://www.upc-online.com.au/brakes.html

Thought I would update this as this is what I ended up doing, if you uts slice the nbacking plate you can swap tot the later one without removing the stub axle.

Now that’s a shed!!  Nice, yep hoist next and you won’t look back..

Mate did you have that hooked up or what!!  Awesome and congrats!

Welcome mate, enjoy!

Hi all.  Hey I think I remember someone sold adapter rings that you pressed into a VT-Z rear disc so that it would work directly with the smaller VR/S hand brake assembly so you didn’t need to change the backing plate and handbrake mechanism.  Is that correct?  Anyone know where you get them?

Happiness is a new garage!!

Cool, let us know when you post up the vids

That was quick!

Coming along nicely.

Yea that’s righ Cav, and I have to be honest I no next to nothing about converters, so much rather talk to Grant once he knows exactly how it makes its power/torque

Not doing anything to it until its been on the engine dyno and we have the curves.  Then I will go see Grant and see what he thinks.

Grant built me one from Norwood Autos, they did the glide.  its around 3500 rpm.

My Weldon fuel pump driver has all that pulse width modulation etc built in, in fact, there’s lots you can control and do these days if you know what your doing ecu wise (I don’t!!).

^ yeah what Immortality said, I mean its sort of gone way past a simple daily streetability kind of thing.  What I have found is the fun is all about short blasts, and shits and giggles (almost literally).  Tbh I don’t like driving it “daily” amongst traffic,  I am shit scared some tool in a Galant is going to tail end me.  So the focus is on try…[Read more]

Gone solid cam, but also the stock ones won’t handle 750 thou of lift at 7,000+ rpm.
