Hi,

The Nostalgia Drags are going to be at Heathcote next saturday, the 28th November, so if anyone from Melbourne is interested in cruising up me and another mate, maybe some more wanted to see if anyone else was interested to join in the cruise.

Link to information below.

DRAGS LINK

We're in the south eastern suburbs so probably gonna meet around Mulgrave, if anyone wants to meet somewhere on the way post below and we can figure it out. Also planning on leaving Melbourne around lunch time to see some of the Qualifying and have a look around before the proper drags begin about 6.00pm.

Should be a good day!

Cheers

Nick

my soldering stick wtf am i doing wrong?????

About to start building a HR ute and my intentions are to use a late model commodore v6. I read with interest a previous query regards the kit from Castlemaine Rod Shop.

Given all the flack in those replies, has anyone had experience using the kit from V6 Conversions in Moree?

Intending to use the commodore motor, turbo 700, diff and front, rear brake set up.

Not sure what to do about a fuel tank. The one for my car is missing, but it would have required modification anyway. I guess it just needs a custom built one?

Would like to hear some feedback from anyone who has done the conversion and anything to watch out for etc.

hiyas again
Ive finally pulled the head off the vb i acquired.So i can put it on my hz.Now that i have it off what should i be looking for as in appearance defects etc?
Should i get it faced just to be sure?
Ive added 2 pics hopefully that you will be able to enlighten me on regarding the condition of head and tops of pistons (not that im using the pistons)

Hi Everybody...!!

I have just bought an HQ Ute with a 253. When I get home there is water leaking out of the bell housing. Assuming it was the welch plugs I ordered some new ones and pulled the engine out.
When I had it out I see the welch plugs are nearly as new with not a lot af evidence of leaking at all.
Is there another way for coolant to be getting into my bell housing???

Some Pictures in my shed.

Hi There,

Just a quick plea for help - Does anyone know the speed and load rating for HR ute... I assume it changes from ute to ute, but if you know the rating for another type of ute it might be a handy guide.

Thanks

hi guys I am selling a Duckworth Valve, good condition, recently rebuilt, has new Hampton Diode and Flapper Nozzle fitted.

$350 or best offer

Looking for either a picture of a shell on its side, or a clear picture of a underneath floor.
I need to show my engineer my ideas on where I'm going to "brace" the floor for the convertible chop

Im hoping to replace the inner sills with rectangle tubing, and then basically build a chassis using the inner sills as the side rails.
Its hard to explain, and that's why i need the pic. I really gotta start building the body rotisserie, been planning that for months now

3.3L EFI VK Berlina with Black motor and trimatic.

Starts and runs well, blows small amount of smoke

Located in Killara, Sydney.

Hi all,
I've got a question. I'm running new fuel lines in my HJ and was wondering if you need to run metal lines or can you use proper rated hose? Some people reckon you have to use metal and others reckon rated fuel hose will do. Any insight would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Gday
Just about to put the rear sway bar into the back of my HZ one tonner.
The front bar im using is the thick v8/tonner type. Forget how thick it is exactly but its the thicker of the 2. The bar i have for the back was removed from a HZ ute (not tonner) and is 14mm thick. Did the one tonners also have a thicker rear bar or were they all the same? If they did is there any issues using the thick one at the front and the 14mm one i have at the back.
It also appears the links are bent at one end. Im not sure if there meant to be like this but im assuming not. See the attached photo.
