My right hand pipe (2') runs tight to the block and runs under my bell housing and joins on to the left side just beside the join of the gearbox to the bell housing, then into 3'' mandrel system all the back.. My front shaft does touch the pipe, but only just and when under full compression, if u ...

Hey, what size pipe did u use?

That's great! I'll start reading up!
Cheers

I've got a shorty gq with a 350 block. The R/H pipe just after the extractors has clearance issues due to the drive shaft, starter motor, diff pumpkin etc.... Can anyone with a similar setup advise me on how they have plumbed the r/h side?... either squeezed in or under the sump to join the other ...

still looking good tho... I recon you'll knock heaps off those times mate.

Now I'm confused!>........

Which way do i go?
(Sounds like a closet opening joke)

I really do want a 4' tacho for the dash, the one in the console is not happy..

Do I really have to buy a VL to fit the Tacho?..... hmmmmm

I've got a 2" Speco water temp guage in my Zook. Has been in there prob about 2 years. Has been submerged in mud, and I hose the car out after wheeling, normally you have to wipe the dust off to read it, treated like rubbish but it still works and I couldn't be happier. Luck of the draw I guess ...

for the actual helpful replies, thankyou!
for the funny ones.....
for the others.....
for those who need to know why I want one......

yeah... getting mixed reports on them. Might just steer clear from them... Just this 4' seemed to be a good size.... might check it's warranty

I am not fullysikenough to justify a 5' one....... or am i

I wasn't being a smart arse actually. I was wondering if your car already had a tacho because I thought all GQs did have one. Then if it does have a tacho, I was wondering why you want to blow $200 on another one. I admit a 4-foot tacho would be pretty impressive but still... it's $200. Sorry ...

yea, but the factory GQ one you cant see from outside the car

and it is lacking ricer lights......... we all know how important they are

amazing observation.

Chaps, I'm looking at a 4' Tacho for my GQ. I found a Speco4' at Autobarn for $199.

Can anyone rate them for me?

For the rest of the gauges i'm going Autometer but they don't make a 4' tacho hence me looking elsewhere....

Any advice would be good

Everyone has vented, got it of the chest, sorted out their problems, been though Outers councilling and moved on. The punch up was on a few days ago. :D Oh..... hope no one got hurt! :lol: :lol: This counseling service, does it apply for the 4WD action forum also?.... Could do with some over there ...

I would still forward the email to the boss. If it's his dad then he might get a hiding or at least no dessert for it

Regardless of who's fault it is that type of attitude in an email to a customer sux balls tremendously.

comeone.... someone say they're going to punch someone..

Bogged gave you a good link re heat resistent plugs boots etc and honestly go that way as HPC coating will do squat and be a waste of dollars if your leads are that close. I have a V8 4by with extractors and had them ceramic coated inside and out but mainly for overall rust protection etc. When I ...

HPC coating is looking good....... i really see the rust thing as an issue... it is a fourby

How much to do the headers anyone?

Just works better and it seems far better for longativity and you don`t have that prob of crap getting in it on a fourby.There are different types for different heat too. Let me know if you have trouble finding a sight on it and I`ll see where my mate got his done. yeah, that sounds great. I'm ...

Wilba wrote:Have you heard about hpc coating? it`s a ceramic coating that takes most of the heat out of the the exhaust I have it on a street car and a couple of my mates are using it in there fourbys.works a treat.

Googling it now....... looks interesting.

Why are u using that over traditional methods?

only thing is it holds in water and crap assisting with rust.

yeah, that's the only issue i can find with it.....

Cheers.

gents, the plugs on the chev stroker are super close to the exhaust.... I'm thinking of heat wrapping it, anyone done this or can give advice as why i shouldn't?

one boot on the plugs is already heat damaged hence the reason i'm thinking this...

Awesome. Cheers for that!

The Northern suburbs of Melbourne mate.

Gents, I want to put hi mount brackets for the alternator in my 383 stroker. Does anyone know where to source them?...

Cheers!

Twin 2.5" pipes = 9.8 square inches of exhaust.

I reckon slightly smaller pipe and you'd make more torque.

yeah.. that's sounding good..

Mine has twin 2.5's with hotdogs on the end.... I don't know what extractors they are. There's a flatspot where the torque drops off before the power peaks... both are at around 370hp at the wheels at the moment.... needs to hold the torque more....

Gents, i've got a new 383 Stroker GQ shorty. There are extractors but it needs a new pipe. I thinkin 3' but i'm not sure what the best baffle is... I dont' want it too loud as i'm trying to not buy a 5' tacho ule....

And advice lads? I want to learn about this donk!

yip..... sort the castor for sure. GQs are a death trap with incorrect castor.

Dropped radius arms, correction plates or drop boxes are the choices.

I'm a fan of dropped radius arms.... I'm sure a million opinions will follow.

Good luck with it mate.
