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. Drew, 0421 67 65 68.

HQ bench seat, fair condition vinyl, adj. headrests and ashtray.
Bucket seats, 2 pairs, one pair with vinyl insert.
Nosecone, complete w/lights and rad.sup.panel. no radiator. hx? grille Fair nose, rusty support.
Front bumper bar, no rubber, comes with brackets.
2x brake boosters, one slightly rusty.

hi every1 its me again thankyou 2 all your help i am just wandering if my timing case or intake manifold on my dad hz 253 v8 have corrossion and making the oil mix with water how could i tell which one it is with out stripping it down.thankyou

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

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.

Well I just picked myself up a complete windowless HZ PV for under $100, BARGAIN! The rust alone has got to be worth at least $101.... LOL

I am pictureless though at the moment sorry!

Anyone know where i can get an EGR Valve and Thermal Vacuum Switch for the 308?
Tried Repco, eBay, Bursons etc and no go.

Cheers, Daz.

Hi all,

Right, HZ Statesman 308... Starts fine, idles maybe slightly lumpier than normal but still fine, doesn't sound like it is missing as such. Put the car in gear, car vibrates more than usual although revs still sitting around 800-1000, foot off brake, no problems, foot on gas, engine almost instantly dies. When car is out of gear, it will rev up fine. Makes no difference whether in drive or reverse.

Does any body have a good one of these?? the one in the pic is seized.
It is a vacuum controlled heater switch off a HJ-HZ 308.
Have relpaced it with a newer type switch with a manual switch but would love to have an original I can work off the interior controls.
Cheers

Hi all,

I am doing a powersteering conversion on a HJ. I have seen a few people post on ebay that intermediate shafts are different between the power steering and non-power steering set-ups. Does anyone know if this is the case, and if so what the difference is?

I thought it would be as simple as swapping over the steering box (with all of the engine components of course). I didn'nt anticipate changing the intermediate shaft.

Your advice/experience appreciated.

Cheers,

HJ P.

They look pretty good and come in auto and manual but for $375??
I just want to know if they are worth that much and if so has anyone been happy with them? am i better off looking for a second hand one and re-upholster it?
And if i end up putting a celica 5 speed in will it fit fine in the holden console?

Cheers
