Anyone on here have one, looking at one at the moment a looking for feed back, what would be the biggest wheel / tyre that could be fitted??,

Cheers
Hoppy

would anyone know the weight difference between a cast bock Ecotec V6 and an all alloy L76 V8 ??

Hoppy

Dont do it, go a V8

Hoppy

I would like to put the draglink under the pitman arm like a GQ, I know people have done this to an MQ/MK pitman arm and was wondering what is involved in doing this?. And would a GQ pitman arm fit an MK power steer box??

Cheers

VE uses the L98 6 Lt I believe not the L76
Hoppy

Is this in a VZ or VE commodore ???

hoppy

Na, just the 4 speed and auto

On the top of the gear box there is a sticker with a broadcast code something like 6HBD, 6HZD etc. not sure what it means,

i was planning to make new mounts for the engine. I will have to look at L76 engine and do some measuring to see where things are mounted hoppy

option 2 sounds good. Can you pm me some prices. I did not realise the ls1 pcm controlled the auto too. Would it control the vz auto? I have been told they have a different broadcast code to the earlier vt vx and vy autos. Cheers hoppy

This is a quote from Joel

Can't use LS1 computer must use E30 due to different crank/cam reluctor setup. Can't (to my knowledge) use a cable with the E38 ecu, may be possible but would depend if there is a model using that ecu and operating system that has a cable to use as a tune start point ...

i dont know but your telling me that the boffins out there have not made a computer program that will let the 6lt run on just the throtle body position and the o2 sensors if not the ls1 is the better motor because you can do anything o them?

Im sure there is a computer out there to run the 6lt ...

you could run a cable throttle body, get a mafless tune and get killa to send you a harness for alot cheaper than that.

That will still cost, need to buy a cable throttle body, then pull the motor apart to change the cam and crank reluctors to suit a Ls1 ECU cause the E38 CEU cant operate cable ...

As stated above I am planning to stick the L76 6lt and 4L65E auto that I have had in the shed in the crate for over a year into the MK based Hummer replica.

just a couple of questions for anyone in the know.

I have not bought the power steering, alt or aircon compressor yet, would any of these ...

I would think that the 4L65E is behind the V8's and supercharged V6's

In the pic below I have tried to demonstate, the big lug is high at one side then curves to low on the other side, it then makes the low side lower than the small lug in front of it, which gives it the very low speed vibration. They were a great tyre till they started wearing like that.

My 35's and 15x 10's are engineered under the ICV rule, I can legally have 37's in WA, no swerve or brake test

Hi guy's just wondering if the original rear spring mounts on the front of an MK can be used for the shackles when doing a shackle reversal, or do I need to grind them off and weld in new ones. Also where would the best place to buy new mounts for a shackle reversal??

Cheers
hoppy

Buy a T100 MQ/MK divorsed transfer, including bashplate, weld in new mounts, bolt it up, fit the short shaft and your away
Hoppy

insuate it and gyprock i, its $18 for a 1.2m x 3m sheet, about $ 270 for your area, I did it to my shed, My mates said that I pooftrerised my shed, but its cool in summer

Hoppy

Pm Screwy, I believe he put a a v8 in his 24 volt MQ

Hoppy

Hmmmm

OR

What about this beauty
Hoppy

So do you think that that GQ diffs and suspension could be grafted onto the MK chassis.

Hoppy

my mate has aspring over with the single drag link under the MQ pitman arm and the hi steer arm
Hoppy

Hey Wicked, it looks like you have a Toyota drag liink end into your pitman arm, did you get it drilled and retapered for a toyo taper.
Hoppy

I will be trying the nissan tierod end coming in from the top for a start and see how it goes and the might go for the toyota end if I can find someone to drill the taper for me at a later date.
Anything has to be better than that bloody draglink setup

Just a quick question is the thread on a ...

The toyota tierod end has a much larger tapered shank on it compared to the std nissan unit.....
Kingy

Which model os Toyota is the tierod from, cause I read somewhere that the 75 series was the same taper as Nissan's
