  1. Thanks, No haven't used a mig for aluminium. Its handy having a welder my mig gets used a fair bit.
  2. Waiting on parts is the worst. Engine bay looks great. I've got a s14 cable if you want it
  3. 2019 Updates Sold my Monaro over the weekend but got to buy a Unimig 200Amp ac/dc tig and start making the intercooler pipes. First time welding aluminium and happy with it for now. Hot side is all welded and just need a 90 degree silicon, cold side is have cut the the first 2 bends up. Also started doing a LS conversion in a mates vh commodore so my time is currently split between the 2 cars. Hoping to finish pipe work & exhaust on the sil80 by Friday and going away over the long weekend so may program the ecu & start the car mid next week
  4. Had a mate weld it up, divider is still there. The manifold was ported too back when I got the 3076 first fitted.
  5. Here you go, its a little bit clunky at first but I wanted something more modern and pull data straight from the ecu. It also has a media control but need an external amp to power speakers https://www.facebook.com/Raspexi/
  6. hopefully in February. Got to be ready for 9th March for first sprint round Thanks mate, hurry up and get that tractor motor built. I used some thin steel and bent it up to fit between the intercooler & rad support to try and keep the air moving through. I have also got the GKTech panels to go above the headlights. The key to keeping them cool is air flow and directing it to the rad. I use to have a piece of corflute and it made a 5 degree temp difference. How engine bay currently sits V35 throttle pedal bolted straight up but pedal sits a bit too much to the right will cut it and move it later on Ditched the Defi guages and moved to a 7 inch Raspberry Pi based CAN gauge
  7. Well over 12 months on and its still not running but a lot has gone on since December 2017 I decided it was time to retrieve my HG gts monaro from storage in Adelaide an drive home to Townsville. I spent 3 days servicing replacing all fluids, belts & hoses. Drove via Mt Gambier, great ocean rd, Puckapunyal, Mt Panorama, Newcastle, Brisbane. 4500km and only 2 Major issues for a car that was parked up for 22 years. Went to USA in May for 3 weeks and sampled a Ferrari 430 & Porsche GT3 RS at Exotic racing in las Vegas Did Targa Great Barrier Reef in my mates Suzuki Swift which I prepared Got discharged from the Army in September I got more involved in the local car club that runs the local sprints. Had a big hit with my first cheap race car (1998 Sirion) with a concrete barrier and bought another cheap car 2007 Honda jazz. The club liked the idea of cheap cars so created the Nugget Cup And Sil80 updates Rewired the front of the car with a s13 loom and tucked it, Installed a Link Xtreme & wired myself with all new connectors, ended up using a standard exhaust manifold with external gate mod as new engine mounts lowered the engine and fouled the turbo on chassis rail. Ended up using all factory AC gear bar lines, made a shroud from Intercooler to rad suppport, sold the greddy plenum and bought a Plazamaman plenum & went with a Bosch 72mm DBW TB using a v35 pedal. Made my own dump pipe and ceramic coated in a custom mix. Was going to have it running by Xmas but my fab guy got busy so intercooler pipes will be done in the new year. The new year will see alot of changes with the car, shed & lifestyle which will be positive
  8. Jump on YouTube and look through the motive dvd workshop videos before last year's Cootamundra. One of the places adapted the bmw setup for rb26
  9. Diff no longer for sale $900 +freight for gauges $200 +freeight for knock light
  10. That is a fair price. I've done a few myself its easy to drop subframe, remove the arms and diff, take to a shop to press out & in bushes then re install. Took about 5 hours with driving to and from the workshop. Shop charged $100 for the labour.
  11. Pull out cas and turn it, listen for injectors and also pull off no1 coil pack and see if it creates a spark. From memory the 2 middle wires on the cas need to be swapped for the plastic covered to be used with normal metal ones.

  15. Link ecu Knocklink warning light in box and only tested fitted with box & intructions $200
  16. the r32/33 brembo bolt straight up , just need shorter bolts for the fronts. i've read a certain rear subaru brembo caliper bolts up on the rear. Another option is 324mm rotor with your current calipers using a good quality rotor & pad combo. It may be easier for you to buy a bbk and test different pads.
  17. I'm running r33 brembo setup on the sil80 with project mu pads & rotors and works well, is consistent after big stops coming into turn 3 at Queensland raceway and they have performed well at smaller tracks and gil climbs. A mate has the AO evo setup and can only run 18inch wheels where I'm using r33 gtr wheels still. If you upgrade to a bm57 master cylinder get an abs version and drill and tap the 3rd port out much cheaper than buying a non abs version.
