  1. Bring on the VSD..............................
  2. Hi Dougal, sorry for the delay in replying. yes mate still use the KE20 hubs. Just need to redrill the new disc's to suit the mounting bolts from the hub. I will take a few pics when I get a chance and post them. Cheers mate. Paul.
  3. Hi Guys, I set up my dummy disc and all went well so I went on ebay to look for new rotors. DBA standard rotors were $70.00 delivered a pair or crossdrilled were $367 a pair. I couldn't justify spending an extra $297 for holes so I went for the standard one's and drilled them myself. Here is a quick guide on how to do it. I started with a blank disc and counted the cooling vents. Then worked out my pattern I wanted a hole in each vent and double up on every third hole. I then made a template that sat against the centre hub that I could use to mark my holes and then slide it around to the next set. Then it was just a matter of using a centre punch to mark out where to drill. Then drill your holes (through both sides) then using a countersink drill or a larger drill and countersink all the holes on both sides. And now the finnished product. I went for a spiral pattern and this is easly don by flipping over the template so the spiral goes the opposite direction. That way te disc's are directional as seen in the next pics. There is a big difference between the old disc's and the new ones. Should stop very well. I will have more when I get them mounted to the hub. Any questions, fell free. Cheers. Paul.
  4. Thank's again mate, you'r a champion. Paul.
  5. Thanks heeps for that, 5-1 sounds good. You have saved me heeps of time, trial and error with that. Are they clutch masters you have used? Thank's again. Paul.
  6. Hi mate, firstly I have to say, LOVE YOUR WORK. It is one flash bit of gear. I was just wondering if you had any photo's of the brake pedal box before you fitted it. I am very interested in doing simmilar on my KE20. Thanks. Paul.
  7. Hi Guys, back again. Well I got some VH Commodore calipers from the wreckers. They are the same size and offset as all commodore's from VB to VN so you could use any of these. There are a few different brands, Girlock, PBR etc. I have gone for the Girlock because they are a bit lighter. These are the new mounting brackets for the calipers. I hope you can follow the diagram. Ifyou need any more info just ask me. Start by removing the old calipers. The old Sumitomo's were fine for Hillclimb's (a one lap dash) but when you start doing a few laps at Phillip Island or Sandown, you soon want more. I think the mounting for the drum brakes is the same so you could use this upgrade for drum brake cars aswell. {If some one could confirm that it would be good.} Remove the old brackets and bolt on the new ones. Now to bolt on the new caliper and see if I can get the 13' wheel on. Better try both sets incase they are slightly different All Good. There is about 5mm to 6mm clearance at the closest point, between caliper and wheel and a good preportion of the caliper is out of the wheel and in the air streem so will be good for cooling. I got an old magna disc from the wreckers for $5.00 that I am going to use as a dummy, and if it all fits up ok, I will buy a set of new one's to use. The old disc diameter was 216mm and the new one's are 266mm so it should do the job. Cheers for now. Paul.
  8. Thanks again mate for your input. I am thinking of doing a twin master cylinder setup that has adjustable bias between the two, but this sounds like a good cheep alternative untill then. Cheers, Paul, Thanks for the support Willis.
  9. Hi guys, been a while. I have new motovation. Last weekend I did a V8 Racecar drive day at Sandown (a Christmas preasent from my kids) and I relised that I haven't lost the bug. My poor old racer has been sitting there for the last six months and the only time some one goes near it is to stack some more shit on the roof. Time to get back onto it. I'm not getting any younger. I went out to the shed and got a major supprise. My ars still fits into the race seat. It felt good to sit in it again. I turned on the battery isolater and then the ignition switch and to my supprise everything lit up. Next I hit the primary fuel pump switch and away it went. After 20 seconds to fill the swirl pot I hit the main fuelpump switch and the big Holley Blue wirred into life. Fuel pressure up to 5psi, a few pumps on the throttal, and hit the starter button. ...............Away she went. Now I'm realy pumped. Where too from here. There is so much I have to do and I want it back on the track by August this year for her 41st birthday. The weak link in the car is the diff. It still runs the Corolla Borgy diff and although I have never broken an axel, I have done one centre. I am going to use a Skyline (R31) diff but that would mean that the rear brakes would be bigger than the fronts. My wife suggested I start from the front and work back, so thats what I am going to do. Front brake upgrade A while ago I purchased some brackets off caibs, (a rollaclub member from WA) But they didn't come with much info so I was flying blind. I knew they used Commodore calipers and Magna rotors but didn't know what model. I started with Vs Commodore calipers but they were to big. (I need to run 13" wheels because I use Formular Ford and Formula 3 tyres) I will try early Commodore ones next and see how I go. When I get it all worked out I will do an indepth guide on how to do them, including a detailed plan of the brackets so If anybody else wants to do the same conversion, the hard work will be done. If anybody has already done this conversion and can help with info, let me know. Also seeking info on R31 diff into KE20. Cheers guys. Paul.
  10. Mate, look's tufffff. Can you tell me where you got the front spoiler and if I can get one for my ke20. Cheers Paul.
  11. Hi mate, good luck with the new venture. I hope it all goes well for you both. I take it you are in VIC. If so and you want to have a go at a Khanacross on our hill climb track, you are more than welcome. We hold a Kahanacross once a month and cater for all. (Kids from 12 years old up to old farts like me.) The next one is on the 4th of Sept. We are prety casual about scrutineering just as long as the car is safe. You will need a Cams L2 licence (which you can get on the day if you don't have one already.) If you or any other Rolla club members need any more info, contact the Gippsland Car Club, Kahanacross Director ( me ) on 0427 852179. BTW, its only $15 for junior's and $20 for adults. http://www.gippslandcarclub.com.au/documents/gcc_calendar.pdf http://www.gippslandcarclub.com.au/about.html Cheers, Paul.
  12. Thanks Phil, I will give it a crack in a few weeks. I am racing on the 19th and 26th so it looks like next month could be the go. When you say wipe it on, I assume you mean with a rag? Then the PVA. do I also apply it with a rag or brush? Cheers. Paul.
  13. thanks Brendan, I went out and got some wax but again no instructions. can you tell me how you apply the wax. Is it just a case of applying with a rag or is there more to it. Cheers man. Paul. P.S. the product is called Nu - Cearawax Made by Huntsman Composites.
  14. Hi Mitchell. Thanks for the info. My main concern is getting the flare stuck in the mould. I have a PVA based release agent But I am not sure if I need to use wax as well. I rang the manufacturer but they where useless. There answer was, "I'm not sure but you can if you want to" WTF....... I am near Warragul but our track is in Newbourgh near Morwell. Are you interested in doing them for me? Cheers mate. Paul
  15. Hi Dougal, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The bar is 750mm wide from eye to eye and the arms are 260mm long from pivot point to eye center. It is 19mm diameter.If you need any more info, or photo's of particular things let us know. Cheers man. Paul.
  16. NEED HELP...............I raced last weekend and got my ass kicked. I want to piss off all the polution gear. There is 2 vac pipes to the vac advance on the dizzy Whats the difference between the 2 and which one do I use when using a different carby. Cheers Paul.
  17. Hi Guys, I have an AE82 running a 4A m/t and I want to piss off the anti pollution gear. Has anybody done a carby change and what did you use? This car is only a fill in race car till I get my KE20 back on the road so I don't want to spend big bucks. I don't mind making an adapter plate of even a new intake manifold just want to know what works. Any help much appreciated. Cheers Paul.
  18. Hi mate, I take it you are in Vic. Do you want a roll cage for competition or for looks? Is the car for the road or the track. If its for the road, then you will have issues with Vic roads. If its for track work, the cheepest place in Vic is Trik Rollcages in Dandinong.03 97918622. They build a good cage at a fair price. Every year Cams regs for roll cages change so don't get your cage untill you are ready to log book the car or you may find it is out of date before you start. Once the car is log booked, the changes don't effect it. (This is assuming you want it for comp). Cheers Paul
  19. Dale, our club is just what you want.. http://www.gippslandcarclub.com.au/about.html Yes I thought about pinching the Pulsar for a while but it is a 1.8 ltr and I run Sports Sedan >1600 so I couldn't accumulate points for the championship. We have a Kahana Cross in a couple of weeks and you can join the club on the day and get your Cams licence as well. With the roll cage, the car that it came out of had no dash so it ran further foward. You might be able to shorten the top of the hoop and see how you go,. If not, I will swap you a panhard rod for the left over bits as i need to make some anti intrusion bars for my KE20. Hope to see you soon. Cheers Paul.
  20. Budget priced rear swaybar upgrade. Hi guys, been a bit slack latley but I have upgraded my rear sway bar. I used the rear swaybar off a VR Commodore. It was an ezy fit and not expensive. Swaybar from the wreckers $10. (They arn't in big demand so they will just about give them away). I used Nissan Patrol front swaybar links ( $38 a pair at Repco) or you could get them from the wreckers and a couple of bits of angle. The bar actualy mounts foward and with a couple of bits of plate on the inside of the floor ( under the rear seat so they are not visable from the inside) the job is done. The mountings I will add more pics soon, Where to mount the angle etc. My camera batery has died.
  21. Hi mate, good luck with the rebuild. Looks like you have a good base to start with. I hope the build go's quicker than mine has. I got so depressed not raceing I went out and got an AE82 shitter to race until my KE20 is back on the road. What club do you belong too and where do you race? Cheers Paul.
  22. thanks again mate and thanks from the 4a. I can now keep it at half respectable revs. Paul.
  23. trev u r a ledgend. It is going into an ae82. Thanks man
