I came within a mick hair of owning a 55. Guy wanted to swap for my monaro. I often wonder what if.

blue oval = vomit. bowties own it.

sadly.. i love the style of it.... and id be happy with that thing sitting in my garage as a project..

ever though about doing up a 20-30's car into a hotrod supa car noel?

Lee, here is the one in QLD thats been built for drift events.

Before people jump on the weight bandwagon a 1uzfe is 177kg with no gearbox, and an sr20 is something like 130kg. This can be fixed with correct suspension set ups.

GAH!!! you should of traded... the monaro aint going nowhere.. you can still pick up those bucket of craps for under 10k

then again.. you may not of become a skyliner.. i know that if i got my hands on one of these i would of kept down the classic track

NO..Flat NO!. Hot rods are farking ugly imo. Rarely have I seen one that I would call hot looking. Lots of work in them and some good quality stuff too, but at the end of the day its still a chopped up ugly arese bucket.

I much prefer full restos in that vintage rather than rodded shit.

If i still owned that monaro today I could write my own ticket bro. HT gts 350 bathurst edition. have you seen the krazy money they are going for?

Na? :D

Yes. cat back exhaust, simple induction on an auto 130 - 140rwkw. With a manual 150rwkw+.

That s13 has a tuned ecu, haltech i think, the stock 1uzfe ecu is a major let down and a joke. the haltech will push that car up around 200rwkw+ untill he gets some extractors.

We share the same opinion on something. What type of cars, or pure just old muscle cars?

quite a few of the earlier caddys. chevs and even some fords look fantastic in full resto.

Muscle cars do own it for me tho. 68 comaro, some of the vettes. couple of stangs. Never a dodge fan despite their all conquering hemi. The cars were farkin ugly cheap built shit boxes.

You sure could, dad had historic cars, lots of ex racers at phillip island ect, not so much ozzie/american muscel cars. To re right time over agian.

Among other things, oldest MG in Australia, second oldest in the world.

Not everyones thing, however gotta give it respect for what it is and its history.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
