Got the New family car today.

It's a 1978 Volvo 244 Wagon , but before you start screaming and running in horror (you can do that after). It has something different about it :

*Worked 308 -- Forgies, roller rockers , head work etc... bout 340HP when tuned up right.

* Turbo 350 trans --- Shift kit , no stall.

* LSD Diff.

Its Red... its ugly... it just might kick your ass with a load of shopping and three kids in the back.:wave:

Volvo Mods completed:

* B&M Megashifter Quickshifter.

* Sprint Gas Conversion

Next mod will be the fitting of the Edlebrock manifold I bought last night for $99. Should get me another 25HP.

Hosed an VU SS last night, he couldn't believe it. Ahh.. so much fun it's criminal.

well...technically I'm a trev when driving the volvo too.

The wagon might get to the drags later. Depends whether the kids and wife like walking back home if I blow something up...then again I could bring the skyline and we could all pile in that:D

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
