Hi, as Cheater said, I had a Sigma rally car till recently, & at club level, its a very competitive car. Mine was a GJ body, fitted with a GN Astron II motor with a Magna M6 head and TR injection, all managed by a Haltech E6H ECU. Gearbox was a Jap 5 speed & the diff was a 3.7 from a 2.0 man...

Hi Wilksy, the one thing no-one has talked about is the compression ratio when fitting EFI heads to Astron I's. The older Astron I motor uses dished pistons, whereas the Astron II uses flat tops. When fitting Astron II heads on Astron I pistons you lose a heap of compression, thats bad if your going...

It was great to meet Mr.D at Heywood for the annual Millard Memorial Rally & Khanacross. Jamie, your photos are great, certainly equal to any I've seen from the pro photographers. My old rally Sigma performed very well in the hands of the new owner (Greg) who is still coming to terms with it, bu...

hey thanks for that mate. my throttle body has 2 coolant pipes couldn't see it on your one. but i think they go to side of the manifold... and i see you are not useing the tr magna coil pack how come u using the standard one or doesn't it matter? I removed the water piping from the T/B to simplify ...

Here's my set up. The breather from the back of the rocker cover goes to the rubber fl...

Many years ago I had a new VN wagon as a 'daily'. It went into the local dealer for a routine service, but on the way home I notice a great cloud of smoke billowing out the rear. I immediately stopped, opened the the bonnet to find oil everywhere, mostly all over the exhaust. Eventually traced the l...

Offer the guy to take it away for free, its probably stuffed anyway, but hey, you never know, the M6 head could be OK.

Good find, panda

dun worry panda, we wont tell anyone that your job is really a cover for your secret intellegence operation and that your van is actually full of highly sensitive, precision observation equipment and satelite based tracking gizmos. ;) How did you know that, just lets keep it a secret & we don't...

Many Starion owners already have a 'parts' car to support their good car, so trying to sell bits can be slow. However, if you are desperate to sell, & the price is cheap enough, then you may have more luck. List what you have on this forum as many Starion owners read this site as well. Personall...

Check out some of the Perth furniture removal companies, as they often take loads east, but are always looking for loads back west & you can usually negotiate a price.

Shit, if I had that many lights on my van, it would weigh 3 tonne, & burn twice as much fuel. And I don't want it to stand out in a crowd.

My daily is a 2006 VW T5 Transporter van, 2.5 litre TDi turbo diesel, 6 speed manual with '4motion' (thats VW for full time AWD). This awesome vehicle is quick everywhere (0-100kmh in under 12 seconds) yet burns only 7 litres/100km of fuel. Great for a 2 tonne vehicle with the aerodynamics of a 'bri...

My preference is a fully welded in cage. My rally Sigma had a full 6 point cage, fully welded in. Couldn't believe the difference it makes to the cornering & handling. It just shows just how much flex a standard body shell must have. If the unthinkable happens & you should write off the shel...

How to devalue a Mitsy, add Nissan parts. Adding skyline lights is like putting a 350 Chev into a Ford. Its vandalism.

What about some recovered Starion Seats?? GJ-GK-GN Sigma, Scorpion & Starion seats all have the same mounting layout on the floor which makes interchanging very easy. If your looking for some Starion seats, have a look on http://www.austarion.com Lots of Starion members in your area. I have a p...

The battery box in my Sigma rallycar was mounted behind the drivers seat, down low & central for better centre of gravity. I made up a frame out of aluminium angle which was bolted to the floor. Then I sat the plastic battery box in the frame. The battery had a conventional clamp over it with 2 ...

Put a proper FIA-type kill switch in it as well (ie. one that cuts the ignition as well as disconnects the battery). If you fit a battery isolate switch, make sure you can reach it easily when fully strapped in by your harness. I've seen too many isolate switches mounted under the dash board which ...

If its running rich, then it ain't getting enough air, check your air filter, or do a run with no filter at all & note the effect. If its still rich, then its a fuel problem.

Joining a CAMS affiliated club is a must, not because its a requirement, but you will get all the help you need to go racing. Before you decide, you need to find out what category & classes are available to you at the track you wish to race at, as this varies from state to state. Then build the ...

Welcome tezzz to our forum. Gee, we're almost neighbours !!

Hi guys, can't make the cruise, but will try & see you all at the start, as I'm returning to Mount Gambier Sunday afternoon. Don't forget to bring your cameras, we need lots of pics.

CU Sunday. (if only briefly)

Except for the motor & gearbox, there aint much on a GJ-GK-GN that will fit a GE-GH.

Many cars ago, I owned a V8 Ford Fairmont ute. It was a Falcon ute rear half grafted onto to front half of a Fairmont sedan. The join was through the floor under the seats, and the top of the A pillars. It was already registered when I purchased it but the interesting thing was the compliance plate ...

but need to find some hand brake cables to use with it. might have to look into some starion ones i think. Starion hand brake cables are virtually non-existant, either new or second-hand. They need to be custom made & cost hundreds of dollars each. Better to go for late model sigma, & get t...

What you have there is basically a 4 door Starion. A cheap crappy Staz will still fetch 2-3K, but the sky's the limit on a good one. Yours could even be rarer than a Staz, so if you reeeealy have to sell it, then don't be afraid of asking top price. Also where are you located ? Sorry to all those th...

Welcome Simon to our forum. Seems like you need to fit a turbo just to match those decals on the front spoiler lol.
But hey, its another one saved, & you are to be congratulated for that alone.

panda (also from SA)

This subject was raised a while back, & the agreement was they were too dangerous for street use, so end of discussion. But, for drag racing now thats a new story.
Any good fibreglasser should be able to use a stock Sigma door to make a mould for a fibreglass skin.
Good luck.

OK, got the picture now. Geez that is a really short throw as my Staz has a 1-2 throw of about 14cm. How much do you reckon the shaft has been lengthened under the pivot point ?

just wondering if there any good,

I have and I would recommend it.

Cheers.

I'm considering one for my new rally Starion.
Questions : How thick is the spacer under the pivot point, & how long is the throw from 1st to 2nd ?

Under SA's hoon laws, police usually place wheel clamps on your car for 7 days, leaving the car in your own backyard, or did they physically confiscate your car & take it away to a Police lock up ?
