Ive recently got the freshly rebuilt 202 in my hz one tonner running. It has a HJ type GTS dash installed. The dash has been installed since there was last a running motor in it.
When the motor was first started the oil gauge appeared to be playing up, so to be on the safe side i removed the gauge sender and put a switch type one in with an indicator globe hooked up just to be sure the pump had primed correctly and the new engine had pressure. Once i was confident that was going to be ok i put the gauge type back in.

I saw this the other night in the carpark.. rather "kingswood~esk" in shape, any thoughts?

ok so i have had a bit of feed back from the hz roller.and i havent had time to get back to everyone. i will go through the issues it has and wats missing.
if anyone interested in parts or the lot, give me a price and email me at sweetsteel@bigpond.com.au and we'll see how we go.
i live in corowa border of vic and nsw , near albury wodonga.

HI everyone
i am looking for Jason i need to know if he is making sandman stickers i need some for a mates long time project if any one has his number or knows him can you pass on my number please 0417540518

cheers Paul (78GTS)

i have my tri matic in a trans shop, while its there i am either going to change to a half bellhousing or get a convertor with nuts attached, previously i had a full bellhousing with a hole cut in the bottom to do the nuts up, then you have to rotate the fly wheel again to torque the bolts before, i have no access to the front crank bolt without pulling out all the fans, radiator & crap.

options are go to a half bellhousing, get a convertor with attached nuts and use standard high tensile bolts.
or
get a half bellhousing and keep the ARP torque convertor bolts and nuts.

its a supercharged six.
i guess what i need to know is do half housings brake easy or do torque convertor bolts shear off easy when you have extra torque and power.

Heya guys long time no chat hope everyones rides are still mobile and not just collecting dust...
I scored a new HZ project and got two quick questions...
1/ Was wondering if the front bucket seats out of a Torana bolt straight into the HZ as she is currently a Bench and I would prefer Buckets???
2/ Will it need engineering as changing seating capacity or is this not neccessary as this model also came out with buckets factory if i fork out and get HZ buckets???
Any help Thanks Guys RobMonster

Got a list of things i wont be needing anymore so its basically first in best dressed. All the seats will be given away as they will need recovering and they take up the most space, plus we are all fairly generous here right? Nothing will be over $20 so just make an offer, if you pay me more than that amount for anything it will go into the website. Pickup in Sutherland 2233 or i can drive them out, not a problem.

gday all im looking at getting another car to use as a daily so i can pull the prem off the road for a tidy up. will consider almost anything but must be in vic (central vic preffered) must have rego and must be in reasonable condition. wanting to pay up to 2 grand for a suitable car, would prefer a ute and manual but anything pre wb would be great. let me know what youve got as im looking for a quick purchase.
cheers
crocky

I feel really guilty.
Bought an HZ ute about a year ago.
Previous owner had done the rear tray coated in some strange speckly (but neat looking) spray.

I bought a tonneau cover for it, but a little too late. Minimal surface rust began to show in the tray where water was collecting.

Ive been moving house for the past week and have had the cover off --> Its also been raining and have no been able to get the cover on in time to save the tray getting wet.

Other than keeping the cover on/keeping it garaged, I was wondering if anyone had some good tips/advice on minimising this from happening in the future and if I should do anything to the existing rust patches (minimal at this stage).

Ill try get some photos when the sun comes out again.

Car runs/drives, though condition worsening i.e. stalling in idle, but continues to jolt forward/back while maintaining constant speed and is more noticeable at speeds of 80 kms & over.

I temporarily adjusted the two front idle needle valves, screwing them out (I think this increases fuel/decreases oxygen ??).

So far I've ruled out the following as possible contributors:

-fuel lines
-carbi (jets should be good still)
-inline brass filter removed recently (very slight -improvement, but could be coincidence)
-new plastic fuel filter still good
-seat and needle
-new spark leads and spark plugs 4 mths old (need to check condition)

This is the fuel pump I took out my car and looks like it can't be dismantled, is it an after market fuel pump?

The other attached photo is a fuel pump my late uncle had and was in a box that had a holden sticker with part number 92060434, although I don't know whether this is suitable for my HZ 253, it has two female threaded ports/holes (along with screws for dismantling) compared to the fuel pump that was on my HZ (shown in main picture).

Hey everyone,
Me and my mate were thinking of organising a cruise in the Victoria region in a month or so's time and just wanted to get an idea of how many people would possibly be interested. If you could just leave a comment if you'd be up for it that'd be great and then we can go on to planning the finer details and such.

Cheers

Im after the inner bottom section of a R/H rear door thats rust free, Not really after the skin just the rounded corner of the door from the skin fold into the inside where the door trim covers.

If anyone has one thats RUST FREE im willing to buy it. Rare spares sell the complete bottom sections but only for the front doors, there still in the process of producing the rears.

Here you go Dusty...limited edition HZ Panno....with certificate of authenticity

Now this was a limited edition.
