f100_dreamin Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm in Auckland, Is VH same width as VL? What sort of $$ are you after, and how urgent do you need to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 VH is slightly narrower than VL but it will fit and you can fit wider wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f100_dreamin Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Cheers man, you are a wealth of knowledge! Also Shakotom do you know what ratio is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Its because I've been through ALLLLL these same things myself in the last 2 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Only thing is the bolting flange on the diff for the drive shaft may be incorrect It's the U bolt style and I'm pretty sure VLs used the flat faced one You could always swap the brakes onto your diff Unsure of ratio Not in huge rush to sell but am advertising it elsewhere as well as I'm trying to gather funds for next secret project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f100_dreamin Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Stoked. Picked up my gearbox, looks all good (except for the shifter, it's seen better days) Also picked up my p/s pump, alternator, an associated brackets Have been so busy at work that I just got my auto sparky to slap some new bearings an brushes into the alternator, cost a massive $77!! Also got my brake adapter brackets , so still on the lookout for a set of FC rx7 four pots, Engine gaskets, water pump and little bits turned up so an going to start putting bits an pieces back into the engine, also got some engine enamel to give the engine a lick of paint!! Gonna start stripping my K-frame down and get it blasted and powder coated, my friend father owns a powder coating company so will get looked after there which is good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f100_dreamin Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well finally getting around to putting up some pictures Here's the engine after the rattle can rebuild It's still waiting on a few bits an pieces to finish it off but it's getting there. I was also lucky enough to be given a disc brake rear end for free, just had up go to morrinsville to and take it out of the car before it went to the scrappies, managed to shoe horn it into my work car (Toyota Yaris) So will clean it up, machine the rotors, get some new pads an hoses, and give it a coat of black, would be good if I could find an LSD centre, but I think that will have to wait until after the engine is in the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some new pads an hoses so slapped them on. Getting quite good at this rattle can rebuild lark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f100_dreamin Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Boom an the diff is in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f100_dreamin Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 And the parts keep coming!! Have picked up the lightened flywheel an clutch from my old bosses vk racecar, Also picked up my CRS bellhouse, and the GC threw in another clutch, a Holden cable clutch fork, and a gearbox mount (which I needed). May have to get a cable clutch pedal box now as the bellhouse doesn't seem to have a provision to run a slave cylinder, And as we know updates are useless without pictures so: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the updates! Coming along nicely... Â Have you seen the new Simmons 1 piece wheels that would go nicely on this...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Seeing as you already have a hydraulic clutch pedal box then rather then fucking around fitting a cable type then use what you have and find a concentric clutch slave that will fit. Â I believe a lot of jokers use a Mondeo clutch slave as they quite versatile. Then you just need to cut holes in the bellhousing, one for the line in and also one for the bleed line out.

f100_dreamin Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I have thought ktrips about that but I'll have to do the maths on costs etc, I may look at getting my engineer mate to weld a lump of alloy onto the bellhouse so that I can mount a slave, I'll just have to get some measurements of a supra clutch fork an go from there Yeah I've seem the 20" Simmons, they are very cool, but there is a couple of reasons I'm not that keen. Firstly I don't want to go that big coz then you end up with a rubber band for a tyre an I'm getting too old for that shit, and I also think a car of this size really needs a bit of sidewall, Secondly they're very well priced, so every man an his Commy will end up with a set And lastly if I had a spare $2400 I'd have the motor in an running already haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakotom Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Plus the simmons that are flooding the market over here are the poor mans version. There one piece. Poo Imo Simmons Should be 3 piece /ling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f100_dreamin Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah I hear what your saying bro, but one piece Simmons are better than one piece look-a-likes Honestly if they did them in 18s I'd be more interested, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
