Hi all,

Here is my little drift pig, needs some work.  

This forum seems like a ghost town, the posts are few and far between.  Is everyone posting on FB these days, or is there another forum I'm not aware of?

Cheers,

T.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Build threads have a fair bit of activity for general "This is my plan/this is what I am doing" sort of things.

Gonna have to ask you - Is that the CAPA charger kit? Asking for a friend.
A friend is me, who has a LS in a R34 and figured it 'should' fit. Clearly does.

Hi there,

Yes, it’s a CAPA. Fits nicely. This one is rated up to 775hp. Should be enough. I like the instant torque  

Cheers,

Any idea which one you ended up going with? I've had that page open for several years, figured there would be some compromise (I need AC, psteer, street legality lol)

I'm making the assumption you've got enough skills to put a LS in, adapting an intercooler kit to fit it would be no worries (at that point)

Oh well, enjoy the road less travelled (relative to me!)

Is the no aircon dependent on the pulley for the charger? Or just because its a pain in the ass and not required. From what I read about the Capa kits they dont mention losing aircon for the commodores, so I assume their solution continues keeping stock AC...

One of the things I got heavily recommended was the Crow solid tensioner kit, to avoid throwing belts when you back off throttle at high RPM, instead of the spring loaded one. Something to look into before it becomes a problem for dorifto!

Fitting the Aircond is on the to do list, maybe, no great hurry. Do you have a link to the crow kits? Can’t seem to find anything with the Google. Wouldn’t want the pig to throw a belt. 
 

I'm thinking that the future of crowded conversions is to use EWP and EPS pump and free some space next to the supercharger/alternator for the air-con compressor.

But then....now that we're in the era of stop-starts, hybrids and electric cars - air-con compressors with electric motors are going to have to be worth a look at also.

Sorry I had to re-google. Comp cams make one, not Crow, I knew it was some cam company..

There's also various copies out there, or other versions

Billet Belt Tensioner for GM LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 and LS7 (compcams.com)

I bought this one on the advice of the VASS engineer who suggested I should get one, can confirm it installs easy, works perfect, seems good etc etc.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
