That would be the tare weight wouldn't it mate ? Empty vehicle with 10l of fuel only ?

GVM includes passengers and luggage and a full tank of juice.

Question for Harv - I am preparing an application to get the rattler legally licenced - its still got a grey in it according to the rego papers- I need the GVM of an FB sedan, any ideas mate ????

Well keep an eye on your spark plugs then and go steady on the pedal until you know for sure everything's alright. There's such a thing as inaudible detonation. Your plugs will be the first indication if you check them for too lean a mixture and too much advance or detonation. I'd hate to see it ...

Gotta love modifying cars - change one thing, means changing 3 others .........

I dont think there are a good pair Melly, I know I took one off the other day for a bloke and it was rusty along the bottom so he didn't want it

Well you have kept that quiet Melly ! They Bali seat covers mate ? How hard were they to fit ? Gazza is looking for something similar for the wagon he just bought.

Did they log intake temps at that boost level?


No mate, it has an inlet temp warning light on the dash and it hasnt come on yet - going to try a smaller pulley on the pump -of course :ebiggrin: - and see what happens then. Took me mate old Mick out for a squirt in it today and frightened shit ...

You buy it yet Gaz ????

Ute is cheaper to run than the Land Cruiser lately, of it is a good excuse, so took it surfing.

You took it surfing ? I thought it would be easier to use a surfboard ?????

an expensive but convenient way to do it - I need to paint the rims for my ute this weekend, bought a litre of primer the other week then put it somewhere safe, do you think I could find it ??????? :econfused: :econfused: Found it on Thursday night, figured I would buy more yesterday if I couldn't ...

bump for Gaz, this van is for sale again

Hi Blacky I think it is MACE that make the pulleys, I look at them when I had the L67 Monaro you can get up to 20 psi by changing pulleys


Yeah you can - I will have to check what the ramifications are with upping the boost regarding the tune - the bloke I bought the kit from told me there was ...

It’s only making about 8lb of boost which is probably hurting the hp numbers
