Great job, guys. Perfection is the best way to go.
This is great , im doing a similar job. I dont suppose you have a part number or a link for that leaf spring kit ? please if you could help? The leafs I've been sent are not the right ones.
AT 15:42 lower inner F/R bushes...... I noticed u fitted 2x standard bushing. V8 engines and RTS radial tuned suspensions place huge loads on these . Holden fitted a H/duty bush in the front position . The bush has double thick inner steel tube . At least available from Mackay Rubber . Bewarned some Kelpro bushings are 3mm short .
Hey mate how did you go did you end up fixing the problem and how did you go with the powder coating on the hub bit thanx
@td42dirtygq Thanks for the kick up the backside to get myself organised. To be honest I've been trying to sort a decent set of axles. Most have grooves from dirt damage. That's my suspicion of the cause of the leaks anyway.
🍺👍🏻👏
looking at your pull down I can see a lot of things not done on it that are musts if you want to make a High HP 304's live and rev it to 9k, if their is 1 thing I know about and thats how to build 308, 327, and 355's, strokers we raced a 308 for 4 years in super stock we were tort by the best 308 builder in the country Peter Micheals, im talking 13.1 methanol breathing 600hp monsters
What manifold are u using mate and what lifters ?
@jamisonsassine Hey mate There is an in-depth video in our 'Holden' playlist of the disassembly and assessment of this engine that we carried out sometime later. It shows all the good and the bad going on inside.
Wow
Kool looking Ute, what's the bed made out of, nice & low as well
@robosborne6514 Thanks. Really really happy with the whole look of the tonner. The tray is actually a custom built aluminium item. It's from memory 4-5mm thickness in both the top and frame. There is part of a previous video where Jimmy showed some of the sections being made.
Time to do a burnout
@trento8397 Completely upto the owner on that one hahaha
👌 I suspect traction is an issue unless that rear bed is a bit weighty
@debbiewright2171 Aluminium tray that's easily lifted by 2 people, actually quite light. Traction is definitely sometimes optional hahaha but with 335 circuit racing compound tyres on the rear combined with the caltrack suspension system the tonner puts it down pretty well when needed
Amazing build bud🏆
Thanks 👍
Stunning
Thank you! 😊
Awesome Jimmy from John your old mate from Wallumatta road bro 😂

SPEEDMASTER
The brief race at the 2:06 mark, do you have the full race?
@Tomtoms91 Hey mate I do have some raw footage but unfortunately maybe only a little either side of seen here. Might be half track hard to tell.
I'd love a copy of anything you have of this race - not many videos of my car floating around, and from memory that was a good one!
@Tomtoms91 Yeah no problems. See what we can work out. Which car is your's?
My car is the blue wrx
And informative video for everyone
@rohanhunt5771 Cheers It's great to hear people find these style videos helpful and informative
Great idea to restore the HQ and mod the HZ. Makes sense when it’s a low mileage original numbers car. Look after your wrist buddy
@nathanobrien6875 Cheers mate Really did seem a waste to break apart a matching car. We are really pleased that the general consensus agrees.
My 304 is clattering on the passenger side after I installed 4 new lifters, could this be because there not bled up?
@zanecrocker9091 Flat tappet (vn-vs) or factory roller (vt series 1)?
My son's VT series 1 has some sort of noise in the top of the motor on the driver side. He thought it was a big ends but it's definitely coming from the top of the motor. He hasn't owned the car along I checked the wheel it's like way past the full line on a dipstick. I think it's just a standard 304 no work don't do it. It's like a quiet knocking noise when you put it back into park. But I took it for a drive the other morning and it was ticking away for half the journey and then when I've got back I'll put in the park I'm going to hear this quiet knocking sound. Any ideas? Are you in Brisbane or close to it? Cheers Graham
Did the rb30 fit in with 260 crosmrmber or you swap it to rb30 crosmrmber and power steering etc...
@harrish1978 As the rb30 only came in a commodore or the r31 skyline those cross members do not fit in the datsun. The rb30 using mostly a front drop sump requires the sump to be changed to rear drop to fit into the datsun. There was a very rare factory version of the datsun that used an rb engine but like I say very rare. It comes down to modifying sumps or custom made sumps to be honest. We will have a video out soon on finalising the engine location including the sump in the 260z. As for powersteer, I'm not sure if a 260z ever came with powersteer from factory, so I'm not sure if it's a different cross member used from factory to accommodate that steering.
Good shit fellas nice to see yous back
@dwaynecounsell3854 Cheers mate
Cool 👍 like it
Good stuff , can't wait to see more
You might want to check with the RTA whether it's legal to put a Chev in a HZ. There used to be a rule if you put a Chev in a HZ it had to solely run on LPG, HQ HJ not a problem. The rule may have changed but not to my knowledge.
@rayvreman2002 Yeah mate from what we are aware you are probably right. Guess it might be one of those things we cross when we get to it. First though we are aiming at making the rest of the ute safe to drive around on the factory six cylinder.
Mate. Absolutely love hq-wb stuff so very much looking forward to your plans. Take care of yourself, don't set yourself back being impatient. Can you show us a safe way of removing front Springs when no engine/weight is in front. Thanks
@poydapoyderson646 Thanks for the support and yes trying not to push things too hard. Don't think we have a project coming up that needs a spring change without the engine installed (will keep it in mind). In the mean time look up in internal spring compressors, they make one that goes down through the top shock hole and grabs the spring from the inside. Hope that helps
The 179 cu in motor was only found in EH & HD models.
@johnhutchinson9714 Ahhh knew it was engine size in there somewhere. Not quite up to speed on all the 6cyl sizes. Cheers for the info
Great Video Bud
Hey boys looks the goods, where did you buy the guards from?
@dylanmaher3192 From memory they came from Mr Mudguard.
Top quality work 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
I just bought a GQ a few weeks ago for cheap head gasket is starting to go due to high kms so watching this has helped in what I’ll need to do
@rhysabela7003 Always happy to see someone getting into the older 4wds. Glad our videos can help people and pass on any helpful tips we've learned along the way.
That’s why Holden cast blocks specifically for roller cams. The lifter bores are cast much taller in a roller block to reduce the aggressive lateral movements of a roller lifter. By using such a huge solid roller cam and lifters in a non roller block, such as this one, you’re just asking for trouble. You can now get much shorter roller lifters now which aren’t much taller than the original lifters, with tie-bars , from Crane ( I think it is ) to use in non roller blocks which greatly reduces the sideways movement and I’m pretty sure you can use the standard length pushrods with them as well.
@jasonnielsen2125 Thanks for the info, interesting stuff. Unfortunately we were surprised to see a non roller block when we disassembled and just have to go with what we have. Hopefully with a well set up valve/rocker geometry and the correct length push rod we can eliminate as much unwanted side loads as possible. Will definitely keep those lifters in mind cheers
@@nexgenrevamp2976 I would seriously look into those shorter roller lifters though, I’m going to use them in a future project but it’s not going to be for quite a while yet.
Definitely going to discuss them with my cylinder guy while we are spewing a solution to our terrible geometry. We've still a ways to go yet before assembly
where are you located? I live in Newcastle.
@pauljohns8215 Hi mate We are located in the Illawarra area.
were abouts are you thanks
We are in the Illawarra area
thanks mate @@nexgenrevamp2976
HAY mate love the vid can you tell me green white wire comming out of dissy go were to msd plus or minus is green earth and white is possitive thanks
@albypapa3513 Thanks, glad people get some tips out of our videos. Connecting an msd to a bosch dizzy pickup can be quite straight forward if using a new msd ignition module kit. The kit comes with a small adapter harness, it has green and purple wires with the square msd plug one end and male blade connectors the other. Those male connectors are different size and match to different sized female connectors on the bosch pick up wiring. From memory it should show this in the booklet. Let me know if you need any further help.
Would love for you to fab a power steer,battery and trans cooler holder like that for me , that would solve so many issues I have at the moment .
@lenniechant7483 At this current moment there is some medical boundaries that we may touch on in an upcoming video. Needless to say it could be possible in the future. Drop us a msg on FaceBook and we might be able to organise something. Cheers
Bought a ZL Fairlane for my second car, great car for doing the deed in 🤙
@MrExtremev8 hahaha Definitely an under rated cruiser classic
Excellent stuff as always guys
Cheers mate
Not too bad but im sure you will evetuly get close , 😮
Interesting.
Good stuff. Is that the same farm where the Valiant’s are?
@nathanobrien6875 Thanks mate. It's the same area, two different properties.
What happened to this series did the car ever get finished
@aaroncory2404 Thanks for the interest in the build. We have mentioned this in this year's update video. Realistically the short story is mostly funds allocation, the stage that the car is up to (final body prep and paint) costs a lot of money. With trying to sort out and finish the vx commodore and 1 tonner builds along with other life expenses it has been stored for the short term. Hope is not lost though as a build direction adjustment should see the sedan back in the near future.
A barra in that dodge Ute you’ve worked on would be awesome for this
@lukemaloney Interesting platform choice, though there is a reason they made the Charger with a shorter wheelbase.
@@nexgenrevamp2976 you are right, the charger is a better platform for a barra. They still handle like shit tho so it would need some serious suspension re-engineering.
@Lukemaloney1170 Pretty much gave the reasoning youself as to why an engine swap in that type of vechile could be more work than its worth. At an entry level for most racing the K.I.S.S theory works well. Where in drag racing a high powered engine swap may be beneficial and high on the want list. In any racing where corning is involved, handling and braking setup may be higher on the to do list than high horse power, at least when starting out.
Great video guys! Thank you for sharing.
The E30 coupe was sexy as
@lukemaloney1170 Definitely one from the golden era of BMW
The EH Special is my fave 🖤
@divergentsh1thread Definitely nicely finished with a cool style to the Toyota JZ engine conversion. The black Vauxhall sleeper also had a great looking JZ conversion.
Thanks for this info am also thinking about buying a patrol pickup
