what have people done about tailshafts with Crown halfcuts with the slip yolk that has the non-replaceable uni?? how did you end up getting the tailshaft done?

starter motor is located in the middle of the engine between the heads. takes up no room AT ALL outside the motor, so ignore it when thinking about space. you can see it in this pic, the round looking thing in the middle of the engine.

look like your standard Commodore upgrade brakes from PBR. http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~aaron83/fj/04Oct_brake_disc_calliper.jpg www.hoppers.com.au used to be a reseller of them but their site seems to be down..

hey mate, welcome. Location: Malta ?! :-O is that the malta sorta off Italy??? dun hear of much conversions out that way.... its all ...get rich and buy a ferrari. lol hmmm... me is thinking you will need to somehow get in contact with a j@p engine distributor over in japan and organise...

QuickFitMotorsport have also dont one into a VR wagon i believe it was. was neat looking....turned the intake manifold around so the stock airbox could still be used.

well i suppose the cars use fuel when accelerating and then switch over the electric motor when cruising...thus using no fuel...yes??

but since YOU'LL be driving the car if ever you race it, then driver skill SHOULD be taken into account anyway. dyno's are good for back to back HP readings after mods. to see who's car goes quicker.... nothing beats the 1/4 mile. PLUS - put a mach truck on a dyno....it'll pull over...

turn the A/C on and then full-lock the steering and drive around some corners. if it doesn't slip then, it wont slip at all.

same with any non-turbo'd car tho. watch out with oiled filters (like K&N) as the oil can interfere with the AFM if it is placed too close. mufflers?? do the WHOLE exhaust for best value-money performance.

what do you mean harm?? all its going to do if the lack of wrap gets too much under high PS load is slip a little at the crank.... all this will do is slightly slow the belt for a second or two. since the only other accessory on the belt is the alternator it shouldnt matter. EDIT - oh yeh...

does it have to be seated in a vented box to be legal?

still use the one throttle body outside the plenum... but set up inside the plenum like this: http://www.fedrelandsvennen.no/amcar/eurohot/bilder/hot4.jpg all that has a plenum cover to fit over it with throttlebody outside.

very nice. where's the manifold from?

krayn - have you seen the flyers for the Holden only drag day they are having up at heathcote towards the end of feb?? only $40 to race i think it was. be a good occasion to get a time and show all the holden boys just what 4L can do. ; ) if you want i can scan the flyer and post it...

some1 with an aftermarket ecu make a map for a car with headers only. tune it properly and it'll hammer. then just load it up for drag days etc...just imagine the sound of the thing. : )

go and find out for us lex. ; )

wd. adsl all the way!!

think it only goes black coz it burns. synthetic stuff must be more resistant to this. you can tell if its cleaning a dirty engine my looking for chunks when you poor the dirty oil into an old container slowly.

same as any car really i'd assume. i usually use plain shell helix in my commodore.... at oil changes it comes out black. every now and then i use shell helix plus (semi synthetic) and at oil changes it comes out only a little darkish, but nowhere near black. so i guess the synthetic...
