Hi guys,
Its getting around time i bit the bullet and got my engine reconditioned. was wondering if any of you have had a 1.6 done in melbourne, and or could vouch for someone in melbourne that does a good job at a reasonable price?
any help would be much appreciated.
cheers,
James

Na mate in down in Melbourne. Yeah its a nice little beast, one i get the clutch cable proper sorted again it will be nice. one I've finished the re do on my interior there will be a lot more black vinyl, Ive find an interior on a roadrunner online and that's what I'm going to base my interior on, k...

so as i mentioned in some other posts was driving up sydney road and my clutch cable broke last weekend. i was lucky in the sense that it broke as i took of from a set of lights and i had enough momentum to roll into the nearest servo. puhed it into a park there and called my mate to come get us (th...

got some great photos of the car there mate!!!

Sooooo, driving down Sydney road in Melbourne today, and the Eyelet on the clutch cable has snapped. Need a new one asap, tried repco, no luck there anyone know where i can get one asap?

Yeah might be the gauge, it goes to the top and stays there, no fluctuation.

My oil pressure on my stock standard g32b is at the top end of the gauge all the time, is this regular, or is the oil pressure too high?

Have not bled the brakes yet, wanted to check what everyone thought before i get into it, if its regular then id leave it

So to get a well tricked up g32b it comes in at around the the grand mark, seems like you guys have opted for the jap 5 speeds too, are they a good box/and are the better geared than the standard 4 speeds? also, with all the engine works done does it make them very thirsty (as 75gint mentioned)

Hi wondering is this the norm or do i need to have a closer look at my brakes. The brakes work quite well but require a bit of a pump to come on hard, the fluid level is fine, and with about half a pump extrathey on well, but if you just apply gentle pressure and don't pump it the pedal will go quit...

hi guys just wondering how much you guys have paid for your engines, roughly, and what you got for your dollar? im going to be sticking with my g32b for now but id like to get an idea of what engine/gearbox setup worked for you guys, and roughly how much it cost.

they rebuilt some of the foam too, as it was shot

Hey sleeper do you have a link to the pdf you found??

I'm going to look into the price of finding a 2.6, out of curiousity. But for now ill be sticking with the g32b, as such why i asked what i can do with it. Thanks for the feedback guys, very helpfull

The G32B responds well to a bit of port matching and cleaning up of the inlet manifold and side of the head. Kill off the EGR junk by blocking the EGR gallery under #3 inlet port as this ruins tuneability and how smooth the engine runs and idles. The stock carby can be tricked up to improve mid ran...

ok, so not worth different carb set up or anything like that? with the 2.6 is it a straight in conversion?

hi guys i was wondering what sort of options are available to gee up a g32b motor? being new to the scene i ahve no idea what conversions/ after market bits/ mods are available, and would love t hear what you guys suggest.

cable tie grill fitted, a bit wonky, but not terrible. much better than before. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/1907658_10152030365516326_7614504115304645729_n.jpg and the Ring in Volkswagen oil filler cap, that does not fit properly and weeps oil, will need to be repla...

yeah ok thanks for the pics lindsay, know was a bit far out of the way for me so ive ended up going with a shop called super trim in coburg. will see how it goes.

yeeeessss. strongarm it is for me i guess...

that may be why i cant see where they should go. everything seems to fit fine, and car runs fine though.

so i have a random carby?

did you try the power steering setup? if so how did it go? was just thinking today might be nice to have power steering.
