500,000 miles on my 1500 GA before I decided it was smoking too much and retired it.

A main part of a Blue slip in NSW is an Identity check. If you've got previous rego papers from another state that show the engine and body numbers (and hopefully the weight) you should be OK. Otherwise, make sure the numbers can be read on the car - ie no grime etc. I had to put my Volvo on a weigh...

Sweet
T.

Nice.
Is it mounted to the firewall somehow?
T.

Yep, the front will come up about 2". Put in some KingSprings (you'll need to capture them by using different strut inserts - detailed on this site somewhere). Also, best to get the steering arms as well as the struts because the Galant steering arms are likely to foul the calipers at full exte...

Harriet the GA smells like MOULD - like everything else in this 'kn rainforest .....
If anyone has ideas on how to stop mould growing in parked cars (or in cupboards or drawers or bathrooms or damprid containers....) please feel free to make suggestions.

I'm told that as of tomorrow an Engineers Certification will no longer be recognised as Compliance.
Also told that he RTA apparently havent released the new way of complying modified vehicles yet, but I guess it may be the VSCCS.
If anyone knows more about this please let me know

Hi all,
Should Limited Slip Diffs lock in reverse?
Or is the slip only limited when going forward?
T.

I'd like to know too.....
Incidentally, its almost guaranteed that when you pull the guards off to fit the RRPs you'll find rust in the A frame. Cut it out and fix it sooner rather than later...
T.

I'm impressed.
I gather you're the sort of bloke who loves to be told "It cant be done"
T.

This has happened to me before - I just got a rasp and filed down the shoes till they fit.... Give them time to bed in.
Check the drums dont have a lip forming on them first - getting that machined out may save you the trouble.
Not much fun but....
T.

Just be aware that the 1300 Saturn Chain drive is a shorter stroke tha the rest. It probably wont make any difference to whether it will fit though Just make sure that the exhaust ports are the same shape as the one you are replacing (or youll need to get matching headers/manifold).
T.

The RTA DO make mistakes. When I took my bike in to reregister (after it had been off the road for a while) they told me that the model Name I gave them wasnt on the list and the bike must be an import. I pointed out that I'd owned it for 35 years and never had a problem, even registering it in NSW....

Way cool
T.

This is looking REALLY good
When you get the DCOEs set up, I'd LOVE to know what the jetting/air correction and so on is
(I have a pair waiting to go on my GA/4G32 and need a good starting point)
T.

This is so cool
I look forward to seeing how you thread the dump pipe past the clutch-cable / steering box / draglink
I have no doubt you'll find a way ......
T.

I put Lovells Lows in mine. They are quite low (lip to axle centre is 35.5cm using GH Scorp struts and steering arms) and stiff (like RALLY stiff). Standard inserts wont capture them (by about 1cm). If I were doing it again for street use I'd probably use King Lows or, IIRC - check first, front spri...

So cool
Love it
T.

Sorry for OT, but in my experience, "Cheap" and "Powerful" shouldnt be used in the same sentence.
T.

Personally I like acrylic, probably in part because I'm not a pro :D With acrylic you can muck it up and all you do is cut it back and try again (not as easy with the others) Also, I like the finish that polished acrylic gives - to me it looks more authentic. Also, as it weathers, it gets this nice ...

My 1500 GA (Harriet) had 500,000 MILES (documented) on it before I took it off the road (the smoke was attracting attention).
Now has a 4g32 with 0 miles on it
T.

GAs didnt come with A/C but some GC/GDs did. So did some GTOs. The GTO under-dash unit will fit in a GA (just). Ive been looking at this for awhile, but have been stopped by the lack of a compressor mount and crank pulley.
T.

Another thing to check is that they put the tailshaft back in the same position (relative to the diff and box) that it used to be (if they disconnected it). Tailshafts are usually balanced to a particular position. If you rotate the shaft (relative to the diff of g/box), it will shake like a bastard...

Stock GA AM radio
I replaced the speaker
One channel of Pumping Mono is all anyone needs.
T.

Yay - Another GA
So cool.
T.

Nice
T.

I couldnt bear to look at the list of pics - so sad
T.

IIRC the 1300 Saturn (short stroke ) had a nitrided crank and that would make it a decent swap for a large bore/short stroke revver
T.

Quote "makes all this a bit tight for exhaust....but doable! :think:" Streuth - getting it past the clutch cable is one thing but how are you going to route it past the steering? I dont doubt you'll find a way to do it but it wont be easy :D I watched a former member making a 4 into 2 into...

^^ What he said ^^
4G63 NA + Throttle bodies X4. Use an RVR head (no need to hassle with the CPS)
