Though I did have a mate, he got in such a fight with the transport inspector after restoring a 1981 WB Tonner, the inspector said it had to be under 90db, but the ADR's state you only have to comply with the regs that were in place when the vehicle was manufactured (Excluding Sunset Clauses on...

Cheers mate :D Yes and no, once they look under the bonnet a lot of them would agree with the "ooooh!!"

No worries, thanks for that mate

Hey guys, Just thought I would advertise here on my Ute, Car, and Bike Club. Here is the quote off our Facebook page: We are a national club, we do not charge, and we are car enthusiasts. Hoons need not apply. Some of the things that we have done in the past, or flown our flag at include...

Not sure, but I was looking at Pfitzner Performance Gearbox's (PPG) site, and I found this: http://www.ppgearbox...sp?productid=29 Attached is also the full price list for the PPG range at the moment.

Lol, nice one. Though, can't beat a Western Star, beautiful trucks. Anyways, does anyone see any problem with having this many gauges??

Yeah, but I won't fit under the bonnet to sleep there :P

I wish, I'd rather just have the Mack Titan Not enough, always need moar gauges!!! I believe that there is no such thing as too much information on what the vehicle is doing, and once you get used to standard readings, at a glance you see when something is going wrong. I remember when I first...

Ahh rightio, so I can't have a "show" volume and a "road" volume then. Got a reference there for me bud?

Hey guys, Now, with twin 5.5" Truck Stacks on top of my little ute, she has a fair bit of a drone on the highway. Not sure how she will go with the new 2.0l in her, but we'll see. The old 1.5l was measuring 102.8 at 4000 revs with the stacks, so I'll just make the leap of faith her and guess...

I mean, an engine in teh tray would work...but I use my tray for Ute Stuff, I actuqally utilise my ute as a ute...so I carry loads, the dog, sleep in it...even turned it into an esky with the help of a $3 tarp from Bunnings

Yeah, she's been a right screw around, I've now had to change Auto Electricians as well because the one that was going to do the job for me is going out of buisness due to costs of running his workshop and such.

Something like this is what I want to make all up to fit to the center of my dash, above my stero and air vents and such, this way I can have all the info I need at a glance, maybe rotated slightly towards the driver so it's easier to read.

Jeez thanks, I do have a little bit of ability with Auto Electrics, just not a full loom rewire and such.

Hey guys, With the return of the Rumbuck imminent, I was thinking of installing extra sensors to monitor what is happening with my rig. So, i'm gonna need some info to set thresholds for warnings and such: 1. Gearbox temp sensor: running east west mitsu 5 speed '63 ff box 2. Bell housing...

Not a fan of exhaust braking, overpressurises the exhaust system, the manifold, the valves. You basically choke the engine on its own exhaust. Most trucks stop fuel mechanically, or open the exhaust valves on the ignition stroke and vents fuel and and compression.

Ok, With a 4G63 powering my little ute, and with the afyermarket computer system, I just realised one thing. I xan install a trigger switch that will run a predefined thing in the ecu. Basically I was going to set it to trigger cutting fuel and spark, kinda like a rev limiter, but instead...

You know you've fucked up when... You are drifting a "fully sick wrecksie" and roll it...9 times...

Nah mate, Link Storm, full aftermarket ECU + Loom, I'm also getting the DisplayLink controller so I can log and view everything on how the engine is running

True, but tossing up $900 that I don't have on a dyno tune, or me and my mates doing it ourselves over a weekend to get away from the ministers for war and finance...
