  1. Furry muff. Modifing the sump sounds like the best idea. Is there enough meat in the bottom to drill and tap a hole and plug it or do you need to weld in a threaded bung first?
  2. Hey puff, have you spoken to HP-Junkie? He may be able to give you an adjustment/pressure setting based on number of turns in of the screw. Would at least give you a close starting point. If all else fails I have a test rig set up at the moment playing with my pump, you could either send me the relief and I could set it, or if you can get hold of some test equipment I could send you some parts I’ve already made to test it.
  3. So hard watching it creep forward on the line. For the love of jeebus get a trans brake lol Surprised to hear they got a 1.4 60ft out of it considering how soft the launches look. Look forward to seeing those tenths drop once they get a tb.
  4. All this talk about no power bills is making me depressed! Even with our solar set up our last power bill thru the middle of winter was nearly $500. Fairly big house with reverse cycle ducted aircon. We had the heat going every night for that bill and it was the most expensive we've had
  5. 10 mins is fkn excessive. Sounds like he needs some learning #cabletiearoundhistailshaft
  6. WHS^ Also if you look on a few of the tuners websites from your area (you can find recommended tuners/workshops under your state on the forum) they'll usually list what parts are included in stage 1 kit.
  7. Wouldn't you be better off buying new injectors thru your tuner when he tunes it? Shouldn't be much difference in price if buying new yourself. You'll pay a little more thru the tuner usually, but then they're using an injector they prefer to tune with and if any issues they'll sort it out. You'd have to get tuner to fit them anyway unless you planned to get your car towed there after fitting yourself, which is more cost involved and probably end up costing the same in the end?
  8. Welcome. Good choice of 4wd and motor! Needs turbo though lol Have seen a few around. There's facebook page for barra patrols. Not sure how hard it would be to find info on there. Darkhorse Performance over here in WA have just done a gu with n/a barra. If you're in SA @JETURBO is the resident guru. Even though you're not doing turbo he might be able to remap still? If you're looking for a wiring harness I think Killa Kustoms in QLD sells them. You'll probably find a lot more specific info on the conversion from patrol4x4.com forum. Good luck with it. Keep us updated
  9. Looks like they already have the extensions on them, the purple bits? I have a feeling the elec connectors are different to B series too?
  10. busted ass image link! keeps dropping the [I m g] at start of the link every time I paste it. NFI what's going on there???
  11. I was thinking same thing with erebus Keith. When Reynolds first got the cramp and let Lowndes past the cynic in me thought it looked a bit set up! Glad he won but a fight till the end would've been better to watch. It's no 4k set up but it did the job today while I did some engine work
  12. Perth. I assume it has a bellhousing/adapter plate as he runs a powerglide now. Would have to check with him if were interested.
  13. A guy at my work has a jerico that he used to have behind his barra powered drag car if you were keen
  14. So just a thought. If you can jack the car up high enough to start with, what's stopping you from leaving the wheels bolted onto the hubs (or bolt them back on once cradle is lowered down a bit), dropping the cradle down with trolley jack and rolling it from under the car on the wheels with trolley jack under the diff??

    My Build

    Jeez Brad, she's going to be like a brand new car by the time you've finished! Looking forward to seeing the end result
  16. Didn't the turbo terri only come in awd though? If he bought a rwd model he'd still have to convert it to turbo.
  17. Sounds like you're on the right track. There's quite a few videos on youtube if you haven't searched already. Not sure how you plan to jack the car up and down with the cradle out, but I'd be putting it up on stands first then lower/raise the cradle in and out using a trolley jack.
  18. If you build it yourself is mild steel an option? It's a fair bit cheaper than S/S. Much price difference with v-band v's flanges? Also heard v-bands aren't really necessary for the whole system. Xforce sounds like a good option. Have you looked at venom?
  19. Guessing it's supposed to be a screamer pipe? Definitely a lot of time and effort went into that. If you like that welding art type stuff check out Dabs Wellington on instagram.
  20. That's pretty cool. A LOT of dosh for an outboard though! How big is it? Any more pics of the boat? Are you mechanicing or painting? Sounds very similar to this. Fyi, they mention it's 14m but it's 12m. Mmmmm Emma She's bowtiful lol
  21. Cool build. Any plans for body work? Would be cool to see it stay as is for the sleeper look. People will get quite the shock after you decimate them lol
  22. The last 2 episodes... Was good to see the Fairlane hit the strip. Not too bad a times for a big car. And yesterdays episode. Goddamn I love the RX3! Looking forward to seeing Woody's brass donkey collection too lol
  23. Nice coupe mate! What eng/driveline she running? Would like to say I will make it to the cruise but flat out with work atm so doubt I'll have my car finished
  24. Sorry I can't for the life of me can't remember or work out how to embed the video. Can someone please help?
  25. If they were a manual and a coupe or sedan I reckon they'd have more chance. Company in Dandenong has been tuning them. Pretty reasonable numbers. Wonder how long they'll last. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZJ7Fe8uJPYc" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
