look great as a road car....nice lines

Hey guys,
We could do our own version.....have just completed a run of badges for the nats...something like the one on ebay could be done for approx $30-35 per badge so if there was enough interest I could get some
made up.
That way we could make sure they WERE limited editions.
Just a thought

bump....items are being delivered this week and are selling fast.
Don't miss out and order now.
See message above

I have a complete power steering setup that was removed from a HR ute some time ago.
it consists of the draglink/ram/pump and hoses....looks complete. I also believe there still exists a restoration kit for these which includes seals etc.
If you are at all intersted then p.m. me.

Please note that it dos not include the front end , only the relevent bits to make a power assisted HR front end.
Cost me a small fortune 10 years ago but I don't need it now.....and don't forget that Nats memorabilia is availible to order from me....see the posting and see you at the NATS

.....bump....

Get your orders in to me as per corrected post or see me at the Nats....

Hi all,
Caps logo will be more specific to the FC 50th....ie     FC 1958-2008 will be in bold print under the Nats logo.---Red caps with white stitching

The costing looks likely to be in the $15--20 range per cap

Fill in the poll and results will be posted as soon as I confirm order.
Spyro

Ok,
Will try and get it on this site tomorrow....have enlisted the help of another forum guru to get this done

Caps may also be an option but please reply asap.

I can take private orders....costing to follow

Hi Graham,
There will in fact be a couple of items availible if demand is high enough.
Please see new post for details.

Caps are also on the agenda at a higher cost.

The S.A club is hoping to offer collectable items for sale at the Nats/pre-purchase
At this stage we are looking at the following items;

1. Enamel Lapel Badges-Nats Logo approx $12
2. Tin Mugs-white with Nats logo on front approx $12

(final pricing to be confirmed...postage extra or pick up at Nats for free )

If you would be interested in purchasing one or both of these items, please send me a p.m. and let me know which items and how many.
If there is enough interest then we will go ahead and produce enough to fill board members requests with the rest for sale to attendee's at the event.( not enough interest means no production )

I will need to know numbers a.s.a.p to confirm production.


Thanks
Spyro

Hi Rod,
I PM you earlier...sorry for the delay as I was away o/seas....anyway to sort a few things out until I get them photos....

1. It will cost a few dollars to get it completed...a good complete donor VL is a must and will save you tons of money and stress in the long run....you will need most of the wiring loom...motor and bits and gearbox and bits and also some of the vl floorpan to suit the auto...and the dash for speedo/sensing unit etc which can be made to fit into a FC housing...don't go manual as the parts/supply is harder....or use a different box...but this adds to the cost
2.Get a set of Holden service manuals for this motor and gearbox and electrics...you/your mechanic will be gald you did.
3.Put a HR disc brake front end in the FC....powered of course
4.The RB motor is a lot longer than an old grey.I run twin thermo fans and the firewall has also been modified to suit. Space is still at a premium.
5.The VL motor is heavy which will affect the steering weight.I know of one S.A member doing a R&P conversion to overcome this problem...not sure how far he has progressed....not much room in there
6.You will need to run the electric fuel pumps in the tank.
Placement is important so they don't foul the fuel level indicator inside the tank.
7.Both computers will be needed of course.I am toying around trying to mod the dash so they are packed out of sight...currently on both walls of the footwells
8You will need to run cats in the exhaust for emission regs.
9.I have chassis rails?? welded in the underbody for strentgh...the gearbox mount bolts onto this.
10.Putting a twin cam head on as found in the GTR Nissans is doable and I have seen it in a basic Skyline...costs a bit but don't be fooled into thinking it will boost output to 175Kw at the wheels or whatever...the RB30 I think is good for 100Kw in basic form..adding the head will not boost this by ny significant amount unless you spend big dollars...most states will not allow the TURBO option
11.Good Luck

Before you start anything go to your states REGO DEPT. and ask them...they will have advice on what they will or won't pass as LEGAL....no point doing anything unless you have a clear plan of what is to go in making sure that all mods will be allowed...I did this and had a clear understanding of the outcome before I started...it passed the rego board first time there....all they asked was that I place amber lenses in the rear light housing for indicators....not sure if I have as yet!!

Hope this list answers some of your queries.

Sensational looking car there!!

Hey Ken....you coulda used "overriderless" again....

I am after the plastic insert that goes on top of the column and shows what gear is selected.
Even a loaner is ok as I want to get a copy made up to fit the column but for a different gearbox....
Get in touch if u have  one.
Cheers

I'll have a look Scott,
Spyro-Adelaide

I have a set already made for hr front and rear ends...they were custom made to suit legal ttrack requirements.
They are also for sale as I have moved to different rims.
Cheers

Hi Graham,
Have sent you a PM to order one of each colour.
Will wait on your reply before sending money to NSW club address.
Cheers,
Spyro

For what its worth,
I have an EK auto column in my FC running a FC wheel.
Had similar problems with levers fouling the wheel...so the simplset method was bending the EK levers to clear the wheel when used.
This IS the simplest method for an auto...not sure if the manual gear lever is similar but I assume it would be.
would save you a heap of time and headaches....
Hope it helps

Hi there,
Just to add to this thread....I am currently having some 14 inch rims made to suit the FC stud pattern and hubcap fitment....this is not as easy as it sounds apparently...had 2 sets made here locally in Adelaide which were sent back as the FC h/caps didn't fit...then got onto Stan at ALLSTREET TYRES in W.A  and it is happening now....a very nice chap who knows his stuff...and is helpful to mechanical idiots like me!

So I am putting in a recommendation for Stan....maybe costom alloys can be sourced the same way for stud patterns...at least there are no hubcaps to worry about..
