Wow the costs have really inflated!!

I bought the Front Air Dam about 12 months ago for about $280.00 but had my son who is cabin crew with Qantas bring it back for me.

Hope you will post the piccies when it is all finished.

Does anybody know of a generic rear wing, with a stop light built in, that would fit onto the Coupe Boot???

I would like something that is not over the top. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have seen the ducktail from a Torana on this site and it looks a bit Twee to me was thinking of something like simple like the early Silvias and I just wanted the stop ligh for additional safety. Too many over 70 drivers in Adelaide that dont pick up stop light too quickly.

Appreciate the thoughts though racesov!

Hi all, got my car back from engine builder the other day. I now have the heavily ported Brock heads, Edlebrock Performer manifold and a H226 crane cam that makes the car sound like a drag car. I'm very pleased with the outcome as it's still very streetable and it revs nicely with those Yella Terra roller rockers. The heads had to be shaved 100 thou to get compression up as the bottom end is stock 308. in time I'll rebuild it with flat tops and get comp up to about 10;1. Feel like I should be writing this on Aussie V8 website. I'm going to do another vid for utube soon if anyone interested.

    • The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue. 
    • OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.
    • Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.
    • I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)
    • Slap a 460L into the car, send its mum.
