Tyres on & bolted up for a look, reused the 235/40r18 nankang ns-20s that came on the front went with 245/40 matching nankangs for the rear, looks like I can do about 20-25mm off each side of the diff on the rear, front needs to come up about 10mm so I'm not clipping the guard all the time, shocks are a bit sad so good excuse of coilovers I reckon...

Quick wash ready for rotokauri school car show tomorrow, better check those wheels again... tyres coming this week so will be able to measure up the diff mods soon. Gotta pull the manifold off again already blown out the exhaust gasket (shite pressed permaseal thing, got a copper one in from aussie to anneal and install, will double check flange face is flat while it's off should be good after that.

1. Yes would normally resize rods with the arp bolts at least measure very carefully journal to crank and bearing clearance 2. depends on cam check with kelford 3. Depending on what power your aiming for a set of 731cc injectors from MSEL would give you plenty of head room at 3 bar base or 860 something at 4 bar pressure going boosted? , if NA the 371cc @3 bar ls3 injector would prob be adequate, MSEL have plenty of options

Iv setup alot of water meth kits now on various setups all boosted stuff, rotaries, 2jz, rbs and even a 6 port direct kit on a 6cyl bmw diesel. I have it in my own car along with spending alot of time on the dyno with Gav at High Performance rotaries getting these setup , pretty cool to see the benefit in almost instant air temp drop and the difference it makes to being borderline knock limited, especially when you don't wanna run e85 in a street car, as for setup on a link, in my vk im running the aem pump nozzle lines solenoid etc, except I have a hella ssr driving the pump driven by a pwm table and enable conditions on a GP output for the solenoid, I have a failsafe setup for low tank level to kill hi boost

spent quite some time on this hence the several 3d print versions 1st, the rotor im using is a 320X32 vz thunder so same size & swept area as the factory evo rotor just a different hat offset height which suits commodore hub & gives good wheel clearance too , pad pretty much runs very near to the edge of the disc and almost to the inside diameter flat area so using maximum surface area possible

progress on the brake adaptors, a few chunks of 4140 now match my 3d printed models and fit spot on thanks to Moose design for sorting the machining, there's even hope to keep the corvette wheels it's super tight but they do clear in the 16"wheels

Had a look at fitment on the rear looks like diff needs about a 25mm trim each side with a 245/40 tyre, plenty of room to the inside tub & suspension arms. fronts are pretty much flush to the front guard, will need to go up about 10mm in suspension height... oh damn now i need coilovers sorry not sorry wifey. Got the RS740s stripped apart that was a fun job getting loctited titanium bolts out of old alloy barrels. Being a 2 piece the barrels are blind hole threaded not nut and bolted like most 3 piece rims, great care & quite a bit of heat the barrel required to get them out without galling threads. Next up get the centers and barrels off to alistrip to be cleaned back to bare alloy for painting & polishing. I have drawn up & 3d printed an adapter to run 70mm BBS centers, that fits mint so off to CNC to be made in alloy & polished up to match the barrels, I'm off to pickup my bumper from being repaired (on the way to palmy swapmeet logging truck threw up a rock right thru the front lip, damn fibreglass bumper life), will have a look at some colours for centers while at my painters.

Factory commodore hubs for hat rotors have bugger all from the od to edge of the stud basically just enough for the head of the stud on the back face

So since iv committed to the bmw style 42s iv gotta sort out narrowing the diff 25ish mm each side, now work out a suitable dark silver to paint the centers with... any suggestions to some factory paint codes that would go well with my colour scheme, one possibility is the gunmetal of @Rhyscars lexus might be a bit dark tho, thinking maybe something similar to the mx grey with a bright flake in it

Gav had it fired up all good on friday arvo sound healthy, I sorted out ya fan not working, (wires 87 & 30 were backwards on the relay) think he was gonna bolt it up to the dyno today, with the new LT10c you can wire in CAN from the wideband to the ecu if you want to setup fuel trim or just log it, are you gonna do anything for that god awful fuel pump whining away in the cabin?

piece of glass or suitably flat surface glue on sand paper sheets & lap the the mating faces flat, work up from 240g is to 800g, will pretty quickly see where it isint flat, also cork will blow out under boost pretty quick

Well since the vette wheels ain't gonna clear the brakes, iv committed to go the hard way to some cool wheels, ex 7 series bmw, 2 piece 18x8 18x9.5 style 42s made by bbs,fronts are spot on flush to the guards at +20p, rears are gonna need diff given the chop chop about 25mm each side, should look pretty sweet in gunmetal or dark silver centers & high polished lips something like the pic with the bbs centers & show off the fancy brakes at the same time

have seen an l300 setup under dash of a mk2 escort , yeah pedal throw acts to push backwards on the booster instead of forwards, another way is to engineer a bracket with a bellcrank mechanisim and have booster sideways under dash like these https://www.rrs-online.com.au/under-dash-booster-kits
