True, good idear..

it was running with the std bracket on mine. piss the cruise part off the bracket too....

Looking good Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok, So I went out and brought an autometer oil presure guage. Because I was gettin concerned at how low the factory guage was reading. installed it sweet started the car at cold it sat 90-100 psi oil presure, Sweet thats heaps. now over 30mins of driving (not thrashing) the oil presure drops so much that at idle I was gettin about 5-10psi presure & open road driving I was getting 20psi. I've changed the oil, and still same low presure when engine get warm... Now my qestion, why am I loosing so much presure when the oil gets hot. I'm currently running 40/15 oil, and the system has no leaks ??? Some idears would be appriciated guys. cheers

run a 50 wt synthetic oil

Could you recommend a brand ?

what i like you wont want to pay for, but any good synthetic in a grade like 10/50 15/50 mobil 1 in 15/50 would be my pic without getting too expensive, it is getting up there in price tho. what brand / type are you using now?

I had the same problem with my old VLCT, it had started to run a bigend bearing, hope not in your case though!

mmm pimping red interior! I Love it! PS be careful tuning with that autogauge guage, those lean/stoich/rich autmeter and autogauges are notoriously inaccurate...

Have changed oil to mobil 1 15/50. Oil pressure is looking better at idle sits about 20psi now. Have also Brought a Knock Link meter, So I can set the timing beter. And recommendations on a sensor to use ? And will be doing a manual conversion,

use only the genuine late model bosch unit, they are around $60 and use an injector type plug.

Any chance u have a part no dude ?

i will have a look tonight

Cheers

Ok, So I converted it to manual, fixed a water leak, and replaced the exsauste gasket (it was leaking). And tidyd up some wiring, Now it won't hit full boost I can get about 5psi if I really fang it and that seems to be it. have checked everything for leaks ect and everything seems sweet. would going from auto to manual have anything to do with this ? any help or idears would be appriciated guys... And it sits 14.5 vac at idle 1000rpm.

New Update, Fitted new shocks & heavy swaybar to the front. kyb's are stuffed, munroe Shocks have had 40mm cut of them so sits a little lower now, and springs are more captive. Also have coilovers and heavysway bar for the rear just gota get some new shocks. And have 3inch zorst fitted now will take pics next week. Strut on left has new shock, right is old.

sweet looking ride man be good to see it in the flesh one day !

Yea no doubt, I be along for a cruise once I get it up to a standard i'm happy with.

I thought pretty much everyone was against the idea of thicker rear swaybars? I know Alex was telling me they make the car a bit twitchy or something yesterday. That front one looks nice though, what size is that? Any new engine bay pics?

I put a 22mm rear one in mine has been one of the best mods I've done maybe sedans are different ?
