Its not a hard job at all mate.

Say 1 hour to get it off, then 2-3 to get it back on. Honestly the hardest bit i found is getting the damn banjo fittings back on for the oil and water lines.

Thats assuming everything is going to come off, to make it easier take the front pipe out with ya instead of trying to take the take off on the car.

I did it in 4 hours with also removing FMIC and cleaning out all the oil from a blown turbo.

I am down like james brown my man. Just gimme a day and time, and if we are both free I am pretty sure I can talk Sean into dropping by as well.

I am always bang up for getting grubby. If you have a lappy I can bring my consult cable and whizz bang new timing light, and we can reset the base timing (including mapping the advance curve :) )and stuff as well.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
