I’d suggest it’s not the regulator in my case as I have a Turbosmart Billet item. Could be wrong though

I’d suggest the injectors also – mine sometimes does this too when hot.

Nice one!

Yeah mate, one and the same.

New springs, shocks and panhard rod.

Yeah I think it’s safe to say that exhaust valve is probably past its use by date 

Similar thing happened to me at the Melbourne All Holden day probably 5 years ago.

Except I won by default as no one else entered the category. It was like receiving the Maccas Encouragement Award at weekend footy.

Pretty dejecting – Can sympathise!

Factory carrier and piping config, pump power supply removed.

80L tank pump carrier assembly. Standard low pressure pre-pump.

Whoops. This is also my first attempt at brazing and clearly I didn’t have the right filler material or prep for the main plate.

Ordered one of these in the hope to sort it out. Will run new 3/8″ (in lieu of 5/16″)…[Read more]

Bit of a failure last night. Started modifying the in-tank pump outlet by cutting the 90 deg bend off, brazing on a steel -6 male fitting and then bringing the bend closer to the tank and rotate 90deg clockwise.

Fitting on the bend, great success. Bend to pump carrier…. not so much. The silver solder didn’t want to adhere to the plate,…[Read more]

I kinda fell into it really. 10-odd years ago finding a decent Atlas Grey VN SS was $12-15k territory, and many had a lot of km’s and had been thrashed mercilessly. At the time I didn’t have the skill set (and mostly the money) to afford to fix major mechanical items. I still wanted one but couldn’t justify it, so picked up this with 160km on it…[Read more]

The Electronic Bay.

$138 delivered from “Dirt Devil Ind.” Should have arrived today so I’ll let you know how I go.

The outer mounting face of the outer bushes on my VQ did the same thing about 6 years ago.

Repaired them in the same manner as you have and inspected them a few weeks ago – all is well.

Great choice of colour

Bought a Pierburg 200LPH E85 low pressure in tank lift pump. Should be here by the weekend hopefully so I can really crack into the fuel system.

Where in SE Melbourne are you?

Might be able to swing by on Saturday afternoon to grab them if you still have them on hand.

K-frame and control arms completed.

Fuel pump out, need to braze on a new fitting and install a new lift pump.
