• Do either of you fellas know what spring poundage you have in the coilovers that XYZ supply?

    I left it to the experts to select what they thought would be best,so the fronts ended up 700lbs.Should of had more input as i think these will be a bit  harsh on the street lol.Might have to get another set made up around half that rating,but will test…[Read more]

    Sounds like it could be the IAC,if your still using it.Mine used to hunt up and down at lights all the time,major pain in the arse.I pulled it apart,cleaned and checked it was working but it could never react quick enough.This was with a 286 Hyd cam in the 304.Blocked mine off and just use the adj throttle blade for idle and ecu uses timing to…[Read more]

  • They are an Aussie made quality set up so there not cheap,but they are rebuildable/serviceable,have 50mm slider tubes and are independently adjustable for bump and rebound.Also allow  for camber change at base of coilover with eccentric bushes.

    RRP $5,552.00     I paid $3,560.00 as they were having a 30% off promotion for being in business fo…[Read more]

  • I thought all 2nd gen utes came with front and rear sway bars standard like mine.Looks like the ss utes never had a rear bar as GMH-304 said.Why Holden would delete it is beyond me.

    How long a tank of water/meth lasts depends on how long your on boost for and where your activation point is,how much horsepower,number of nozzles.In other words…[Read more]

  • Ha, it’s no piece of art,just a tidy streeter.Thanks.

    Thanks sv89,should be some progress soon.

    Me to immortality.

    I originally wanted to put on a Whipple but in the end i went the vortech because i wanted the grp A intake to stay.Looks a whole lot better too.

    Cheers mate.It’s only taken 17 years lol.

     

  • Agree with Cava.

    Mate’s RB30/26 has over 700hp on E85.That thing is mental on boost…….and a pussy cat off it.

  • The tubs are well worth the extra work.As you know there is not a lot of traction down the back.

    In my opinion sway bars,true trac and wider rubber with tubs are a great combination.Power down out of corners is excellent.Before, i was always waiting for the back end to step out without much help from the right foot.

    No intercooler.Running an…[Read more]

  • Yep, agree about the 2nd gen with tuff eights.Hopefully some progress soon.

  • Engine bay at the moment

    How it was before blower.

    20 litres of  intercooling.

     

    Still a lot of weekends on this before it’s back on the road.

    Cheers

  • Bought mine second hand but had been serviced by CAPA with new input bearings and shaft.Have only got it installed and running at idle as i need to fabricate ducting,install water/meth etc etc.Been on the back burner for a while due to other priorities.

    Just want to say thats some insane  grunt out of the 355,would be a bloody handful no doubt.

  • Jesus DK another car!!! I was keen to see you go all out on the ute.What happened mate,hidden issues?

  • I asked Scott the same question.He said run it loose as possible but tight enough so the belt can’t jump a tooth on the blower pulley.
