Can I assume that the Sigma lower trailing arms are the same as the Scorpion ones? Want to mount up a rear swaybar, and I'd rather avoid fabrication as much as possible because I weld like a mildly retarded chimpanzee with beer goggles on.

So things didn't go my way, Nan took pretty ill on Friday so I had to stay home and look after her. No great hassle, I should be able to get out next weekend.

Cool. What's the spring rate, do you know?

Agreed, sounds like a cool build. Will be keeping an eye on it

How much did they set you back, if you don't mind my asking?

PM sent.

It's possible that Starion a few posts back still has a G54, there's at least one over there making 700+hp atw from a 2.6T. BIG dollars though, and an even bigger turbo lol

See above.

Heading out to the farm tomorrow, should have some progress to report by Monday if things go my way.

these are in a different league to the 595EVO's Yeah, I know. The Federals would make for a shit-tonnes better street tyre though, and they really are quite good, hence the recommendation :) Personally, I wouldn't be using proper semis (ie R888's, 595RS-R's, RE55's, KU36's etc) on the street too of...

No personal experience, but from what I've heard they're pretty brilliant when up to temperature and it's dry. In the wet, fugeddaboudit. Just like most semis really. Make sure you match the front with a similar tyre, unless you want mucho hondasteery badness. Gonna recommend Federal 595EVO's, I've ...

Not buying it anyway, guess the fact that I had no immediate plans to restore the thing made me a dreamer. Meh.

Still haven't done anything with this, been too busy. Might get somewhere with it in the next couple weeks, depends on if I can stump up the money to buy this DASH-powered flatbody Starion I'm looking at or not. It's a bit rough, but that's never bothered me. Mechanically good though, couple of mino...

Pretty sure it's just Mitsubishi's take on a TVIS-style system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-VIS Could be wrong though, so don't quote me on it. I think you're thinking of the Sirus Dash heads. They're 12 valve and operate off a solenoid system and open the third valve at a certain rev point. The...

Should probably have mentioned that that's the idea to start with... lol
That above is in general, in place of all those grand plans I had before.

It's an E15A Galant, like a 100mm narrower TM-TP Magna.

Gave up on the turbo idea, CBF making it work.

Just gonna do EFI, suspension, maybe a locker, and drive the wheels off it. Simple is best.

Coupe- Fixed rear windows, like the 2-door LC/LJ Toranas and Datsun 1200 coupes
2-door hardtop- rear windows roll down and no B-pillar, like the Scorpions.

At least, I think that's how it goes. Don't quote me on it, because I could be wrong.

Mate gave me a factory JZZ30 turbo tonight, it's farking tiny lol.
Steel wheel, no shaft play, apparently good for 14psi of supermassive response. Should be fun

Got a fresh injection of funds coming up, so I should have this on the road in the next few weeks.

Just wondering, are the piston rings the same for all Astron 1 4G54's? Ordered a set for my GJ Scorpion yesterday, only just remembered that the engine's from a GH.

Well there you go, learn something new every day
Probably should have done a tad more research into the subject, rather than going off what the local engine builder told me about more power=worse economy.

My dad's Inter Acco gets the same economy figures, and that's a 10t truck lol. Not as bad as my mate's 12A BP 808 wagon though, it was lucky to get 150km to a tank on the highway. ~27L/100km, provided my assumption of a 40L tank is correct. That said, it sounds pretty usual for a big-bore carby 4cyl...

+2 for vids.
Sounds like it was well worth it man, nice work

Speaking of wacky ideas, LSD, front coilovers, sort the rear suspension, decent brakes that fill out those 16's, orange gradient Recaro LS front seats w/burgundy interior, Nardi Classic, DOHC 4G63T conversion and slam it

Mine went in exactly the same place, must be an Astron thing lol
Anyway, glad to hear it was only a headgasket. Gotta love relatively simple fixes

Alright, this is just being talked about at the moment but both my brother and I are hell keen on the idea, so it's more than likely it'll go forward. Hence the thread. We're going to take my white Scorpion, aka this: http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt297/jwebb2876/DSCF3324.jpg http://i621.photob...

Isn't there 1JZ GH Scorpion in Sydney that attended a cruise or two a while back?

Picked up a set of extractors for this. My sister's boyfriend picked them up for me off some guy in Wollongong and sent them home with my old man, cost me a grand total of $30. The welding where it was attached to the last exhaust is horrendous, and they're not the best design-wise, but they'll be l...

If I remember right, the VT/VX is a fair bit wider than the VN-VS platform.
Had a look under my VC a while back and it looks closeish, and I know for a fact that a VN crossmember bolts into a VB-VL, so it might work. Dunno. Would probably need mods like Billsy said.

GJ onwards Scorpion/Sigma sedan if I remember right
