Looking good man!

iv thought about getting my roof wrapped aswell, not much left in the clear coat but until it actually peels I’ll keep waxing haha

and nice pic up on the skinny spare, good for drags

 

how are you embedding your photos now? all of mine dont work :(

id race with higher suspension, but figure if i can make it fit at that height theyll be good no matter what. it also looks so good haha

its within mm of not scrubbing, need to work the inner guard and probably pump the outer abit too, just to be safe

ill be getting solid bushings for the rear, which will help straighten it too. pretty sure my rubber bushes are really old and letting the k frame move and causing some of the scrubbing

deffs going to work out, will keep you posted

pic is when i went for a test drive with the lowered springs in

I know the attachments work, so will use them for now

I picked up my wheels a while ago now, and finally found tyres to go with them. I want 275, and i wanted 28″ tall, but wasnt fully confident to buy new incase they didnt fit haha
managed to find 275/60/15 mt et street s/s for $40 each! a steal. theyre down to the wear bars but doesnt matter with these kind of tyres. wouldnt ride them in the rain regardless.

So i can confirm that it is possible to fit a 15×10 wheel into a vz, with a 275/60/15 tyre. you dont get a lot of clearance though. i need to bash my innerguard, and probably should get a camber kit too, to fine tune.. but they fit. and thats all that matters for now!

fun fact: you can get tyres this big on the rim without a machine or a pry bar – just weigh atleast 95kg  … and lots of lube

You ran 10.3 with 323rwkw in a VX?? Really, any idea what weight it is? Or is that without the giggle juice?

what speed would you be expecting vrsenator065?

loving the build, any extra info on your nitrous set up? And install pics? I’m hoping to be spraying by Chrissy

Looking smart 

agree id drop the front a smidge but leave the rear – it is a ute after all

so clean I’m loving it, I have to try some of the vinyl revival on mine..

heyya, super happy – I’m keeping my gmm cam for now so gave this cam to a mate who’s building an ls torana
which works for me – want to hear how the comp cam sounds and performs ha

nitrous kit was 800 from a guy in SA. one of those lucky times when you get in first haha same kit from US would be ~1200 shipped.. plus whatever taxes they throw at you

[CORNFEDParticipant Adelaide - Canberra - NewcastleVZ SS manual View build HERE Member since: August 17, 2015 Posts: 19]

Picked up a set of 243 heads for a mate in SA, bargain plus after a chat the guy threw in a comp ‘mystery’ cam for free! Some research found it to be comp cams XFI XER 54-448-11 which is 238/240 .605/.611 – not a bad day at all!

 

Iv been doing the measurements, and i believe i can fit a 275/60/15 tyre under rear for drags. considering I’m running FE2 susp, it may poke out abit but that doesnt bother me

Installed the msd launch control yesterday, very happy with it. no interference issues like i had with the lingenfelter – just need the sun to come back for some test runs!!

Nitrous kit has been purchased – pickd up a NX 102 plate system super cheap – with the 15lb bottle. getting excited, slowly building up all the supporting hardware so it will be as safe as possible on the motor

Few more updates on past upgrades:

Aeroflow oil cooler adapter, improved racing design copy but can’t fault it. no issues with installation or since

massive thanks to the guys at Exhaust Technology in Adel for knocking this up for me. Will probs need a muffler for most tracks in Aus haha but does it sound horny!

Might have to a side by side when I eventually get mine to AIR to see what it will do as it sits now

I’ll be back down in adelaide around chrissy time, hoping there’ll be some racing – will see you there! I’d be very happy if I was in the 11s with current set up. What would you be hoping to run in yours?

They look very simular to a vs auto gearbox mount wonder if they are dont suppose you know. Be interesting to see how harsh they are just the trans mount on its own.

Hey Sands, you might be in luck – looks like the mounts are the same. You’d need to put a set of engine mounts in too though, cant have the trans mount stiffer than the engine. Not sure what you’re running will check out your build now

Thanks! Its coming forward slowly, have more to upload when I have time.
I dont have much idea what it’ll do at the strip but if I want to have a chance against my mates Torana I’ll have to break 10s haha one day!

I absolutely love my revshift mounts, I have the blue trans mount and green street/strip engine mounts (http://www.revshift.com/product-p/pmm-vtt.htm) they do transfer some vibrations to the cab, however they really help you feel in tune with what the motor is doing, aswell as holding the motor nice and solid in place.

Few more photos from various stages of the build;

After its first clay bar and proper polish, the higher front springs are still in at this point

The tex clutch going in, the stock one was too beat up and couldn’t handle any of the power after cam

Fire Extinguisher Mount:
Its been flipped around since this so its quicker and easier to get in and out
