Maybe offer to paint the garage floor? If you intend to stay a while. Big roll of vinyl will work too if they aren't fussy about the look of it it is a garage not a bedroom after all its supposed to be full of crap.

Suspect you have killed a gear sack. A mate of mine had a rather worked one and ended up running a standard cluch as it was cheaper to kill a clutch every 6 months than a gearbox every 3 months. though not made of glass if you arent relatively kind to them most the time they will let you down at the weirdest time. Scratched my head once guiding my mate up the ramps to fit a new muffler when he suddenly rolled forward.... dead gearbox pushed it in garage and up on stands it went.

I used to have a v8 sd1 was lush as with twin 2.5" pipes into a single 3 chamber flowmaster dumping at the diff she sounded like a big block was moderately good on gas and could pull a half decent burnout. What it couldn't do was hold its spider gears in. 2 diffs in i sold it broken. Fit an ls1 and a decent diff you'll be in heaven just dont ever fall asleep in one the giant rear window will dehydrate you like a piece of fruit.

Looking to throw my VT 5 litre v8 into my VX v6 commodore mainly because i already have car and engine and the v6 is sick its been hot a few times. Question being as the vx only had the Ls1 is this considered a bolt in conversion do i need d/shaft hoops are my brakes up to scratch?

I did mine as a trial an error process strip 1 side at a time and have manual handy to compare as i guarantee plenty of hands have been on them. New shoes take a while to bed in haha i dailyed mine to work using handbrake to stop after a week or so i popped them open blew dust out re adjusted and had a excellent 3 click hand brake.

Yupp the beeping may be a giveaway though is an option. Do like idea of an airbag in the face to be an option too i dont think it would deploy as it is.

Hey is anyone able to help in waikato with this? Been a while light is still on was hoping it would re set itself warrant is coming up so better sort it.

Grab 2 and some new shoes too. Not too expensive and is peace of mind. Once their done not much to go wrong fir a while back there. Trumpys have pretty sweet hand brakes once everything is adjusted back in spec they also pull up pretty good.

Can vouch for them too their head welder demo'd his prowess by cutting a beer can in half rotating top half a turn then tigging back together.

Put a 50mm solid go kart spec axle in and as many stationary engines as you can aquire a mix of 2 and 4 strokes would make an interesting racket.

Your running a sr20de? These can be damn loud and raspy with straight thru mufflers even with 2 or 3 in there. You need a triple flow in there to tone it down And a reso up front should sound pretty pleasant.

Have had similar idea for a home heating system a boiler room ducted inside was thinking of an engine running on hydrogen oxygen with waste oil injection running a 10kw generator for the electrical side of house.... this looks easier

Waste oil heater? Where can decent instructions be found.

Been thru this with my many of my triumphs..... ditch the lucas for a junkyard jap spec alternative or a new chev spec one off trademe for $220 bucks your lucas will be running almost at full capacity with the headlights on and sub going anyway.

Forgive me if im wrong but rb25 block with a rb20 crank is doable and a real screamer then you can run either a 25det or 26dett head. i looked into it ages ago too bit foggy on details now decent engine builder will know straight off, few extra cubes and the big head off a gtr would be sweet.

My advice is get a cheap scratch start jobby with an amperage control and argon flow meter (basically a DC Arc welder with a torch) simple to learn with then once your comfortable buy something a bit flasher with AC if you want to do alloy. Oxy/Acetylene welding will actually teach you a lot about tig welding technique if you can get hold of one of those rigs and get good fusing stuff together you'll find the transition to tig quite natural.

When i was doing up my 300zx i used a electronic shiftkit destined for a nissan safari rumour has it the guts are the same in auto trans. Would be worth seeing if a 5 speed box from a turbo z32 could have the td42 belhousing bolted on. Failing that a 350z box may also work both pop up occasionally and are well priced compared to Toyota options.

I scored a bloody expensive spray gun from my last work after they went airless. Have used it this weekend to paint inside my house most the time its sweet and sprays real nice with nearly no overspray then for no real reason it goes all splatty and shit and throws big droplets of paint everywhere. This is with waterbased paint running off a pressure pot However i have used it to paint a car before with glass like results in laquor same problem would crop up occasionally. Im planning to paint my race trailer soon with it so curious as to whether it is a seal or nozzle problem its a devilbiss Jga gun.

Do the seal dude run 20/50 and a good dose of moreys. A catch can and oversized breather will help too but a new seal will probably cure it Anyway. Cool old rigs wolseleys and i like the 6/110 out of all of them really due to being halfway between a Bentley and a 57 chev..... seal is toast i see an LS1 being a viable economic repair option.

just the space saver tyres on the bike rims pretty sure larger cars like BMWs run a 17 inch spacey.

Surely some spacesaver tyres would actually be ideal for this? Cheap good to 80ks.... perfect.

I'm In meadowbank.

Did that.... haha radio wants a code now guess I'll be calling holden this week For that.

So after finishing cleaning out what can only be described as the most unloved vx commodore in Auckland I've cocked up by pulling the upholstery out to clean out 14 years of yuck. That done I've upset the system anyone got the gadget to reset this? After a Google it's a common thing to do when you pop a seat out that can not be cleared with a normal plug in scanner tech 2 is needed. Cheers.

Got a mate into all models wolseley if you need any obscure bits he'll have them and probably share some wisdom too. Been in his one doing clutch kicks on a closed road before they can go well with a solid tune.
