Hi,

I'm in need of parts to use for repairs on my sedan.

Happy to pay good money for very good parts or trade for other parts if you need something specific

I'm in Tassie but freight should not be a problem.

2.front guards
3.bonnet
4. Boot
5. NOS or very good  LHS rear quarter section

Let me know if you can help.

Cheers

Josh - you do have some reasonable flares too remember...

Seatbelt solutions in WA made mine, they can do any style or length and a range of colours.  They sent me sample material for colours and the service was very fast.

no prob, i'm a big fan of the salt flats, i'd show you a pic of mine but no more till after the nats....hahaha

you will be fine with drums, especially if transport has given you the go ahead.  I have a r31 skyline rear disc setup kicking around somewhere that i was going to adapt to the centura in my daily.  From memory i was only looking at 10mm or so a side increase in track. your welcome to have a play with it if you want to see if it will make enough difference...what wheels did you end up ordering?

Hi All,

Anyone local got a gearbox cross member with the hand brake setup kicking about?  I thought i had one but cant find it, need to pilfer the handbrake lever setup to adapt to my new cross member....

Cheers

yep - doors are around 6 inches longer, didn't want to mess with the shape too much.   if anything i'd like to widen the car.....but wow what an undertaking that would be!!

Well a few changes of plans here and there, a new engineer, engine and drive line direction and a mad race to get this finished for the nats....this is all you are getting for now - See you all in Hobart this April!!

My daily FC sedan  has 245 50 14's tucked under the rear end on 14x8 steelies.  No rubbing, inner guards 'stretched' with a big hammer, outer guards have had a small pump, it is what i would consider very low for stock spring setup. Tyres are tucked under guards.

id have some sun visors for you, im in hobart, pm me if you like

can you send me the pics mobiusbar@yahoo.com.au thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the input, if i don' t use an electric heater that i can remove i want to be able to hide it under the dash. That's why i was looking at the first option, may have just found an even smaller one, will post link if it works out.

Not cheap but also a nice looking unit

Thoughts on this for rego? i think 1/4 vent windows are for demisting by the way, i wonder if it will pass?

and, if your buying new wheels you can achieve whatever track you want (clearance permitting) if the offset is chosen wisely.

vsb pretty clear on track, my experience is that you wont get away with narrower than std fc track which is 1384mm. 

4.2.9 Passenger Car Wheel Track
The wheel track of passenger cars (or derivatives) must not be increased by more than 25mm
beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model. This
means that the rim offset must not be changed by more than 12.5mm.
Reduction in wheel track must not be performed without approval of the relevant Registration
Authority.

But in saying that there is a grey area surrounding alternate diff track.

Track. Where non-original axle or suspension cross-member components are fitted,
the offset of the wheel in relation to the axle or hub assembly used must not be
increased by more than 12.5mm each side of the vehicle based on the specifications of
the axle components used. If an axle assembly is shortened then the track width limit
is taken as the axle manufacturers original track dimension, less the amount the
assembly has been narrowed, plus 25mm.

i'll leave it to you to interpret this.

202 crank machined down to fit in a 186 block is your best way around it if you want the extra cubes
