I reckon it would look great painted Mits Riviera Blue pearl . The code is FX. that is the colour that I painted stretchs' celica. What's it originally off? The colour does look good. I still have a pic of it somewhere? Dave... I am pretty sure that it was from a 1987 Magna Elite. I had one in the ...

While on the subject, I have heard about people using a acrylic colour and blowing a 2pac clear over the top. Is this possable? Wouldn't the two different paints react? Not a wise practice Jason,as the 2K clear dries hard ,whereas the acrylic moves with temperature variations.This makes for some ve...

I can say that he would rather sell his mother than that galant.
It is one that I am restoring for him after I finish 3 of his Valiants.

Awesome thanks man. I'm not able to check it out until I get home but it will definitely suit my engine will it? Pre (and including) 1990 4g63 2L SOHC 8 valve, Carby -not injected. Cheers. It has all specs for 8v SDHC,16v SOHC,v DOHC engines. I mhad a look at the torque sequence and bolt torque set...

This might help you a lot. An online manual for ALL 4G63 and engine variants.
I found it more than useful when doing my '63 16v SOHC.

In terms of the cooling issues, I never really found a solution. On a 30degree day with prolonged boost or even mild boost up a hill etc saw it creap up in the mid nineties and get close to 100. As soon as I was off boost or downhill, the temp would fly down. I have had a similar problem with the 4G...

Yeah Roger The extractors done by Precinct were an exact copy of the ones that were fitted to the GSR that Mike bought from Bruce Cheeseman. They had a split in one of the primary pipes,and as Precinct was literally over the back fence from Gosford Dyno,the boys ran a set up one night ,swapped them ...

Up until last march,I still had in my posession 2 sets of BNIB C2 pistons and rings,a brand new #5 cam,Twin 44mm Solex carbs with factory manifold and air cleaner, a C2 Dizzy and a heap of other works bits (from the days when Mike Bell,Ian Hill and the Gosford Dyno Tune guys ran Lancers. The ex fact...

Looks like my 4G63 in the HJ galant is dying. had alook at a local wreckers and he has a Nimbus 4G64 (2.4 litre) in it for a fair price. Is this engine a straight swap,or will there be some general ballsing around? They are both 16valve ,SOHC engines.

I realise that this is an old thread,but hot water will soften the pine resin enough to scrape the main part off with an old credit card or similar.
Wax and grease remover (Prepsol etc.)should get the remainder off.
Xylene is a solvent,so stay clear of it.

I was looking for a cheap run around when I came across a '93 HJ Galant for $700 with rego.
We drove to liverpool from here (350K) on Saturday morning,bought it and drove it back that arvo.Spent today sorting out a couple of things,but I am stoked with my purchase.

I have a ' 93 HJ Galant hatch with a 4g63 and auto.
Problem is that when Overdrive is selected,there is no drive in 4th gear.
With O/D not selected,it drives really well,shifts nicely wityh no slippage.
Has anyone any ideas as to what may be the problem?

A YB Cosworth (Sierra) engine would be a nice transplant. 300 hp is not a realistic figure to chase. Also , the dream ford engine would be a Csworth BDG. They were getting 275 hp out of the aussie works Escort rally cars in 1979 on carbs.

they are actually Mazda engines,hence Mazda bolt pattern

There are drysumps available ,as well as modded water rails etc for RWD conversions. have a look around the classic ford and rs motorsports forums.there are loads of threads about duratec and Zetec conversions. I have adde a link to a thread on RWD Duratec conversions for you. http://www.rsmotorspor...

im talking hp, not kw.. from my info, the C-2 engine package increases power by 75%, and can achieve more with intake and exhaust modifications, which i have.. along with ignition upgrades, and 150hp is 112kw. though i dare say this is measured at the flywheel.. The Gosford Dyno Tune Lancer that Ia...

the only cars painted in acrylic from the factory were Holdens from HD till VS commodores. The acrylic you have would be touch up paint.

O.K.....It has probably been asked a million times before but I have looked and can't find an answer.. ..were the G.B.'s painted in Acrylic or enamel? ....the reason I ask is the GBanger project car has erupted in two tiny rust bubbles ........the colour is sunfire yellow (that's the main reason I ...

How can anybody give an accurate quote without seeing the ferkin car???? What condition is the surface in? Has it been touched up in acrylic over the last 25 or so years? As for all painters generalising and calling you a bunch of douches,I totally resent that comment. Anything that i have posted ab...

dave,feel free to ask anytime. I think you have seen one or two of my jobs in the past.

have you ever stepped into someone elses trade / job / anything???? no!! matter of fact I have! I spent a couple of years in a stailnless fabrication shop as a polisher. dirty,fillthy work,but I enjoyed it more than painting,due to the fact that my boss and the customers showed more appreciation of ...

Here we go again!! All painters are wankers,dodgy,up themselves etc.... If you want a good job,you have to pay for it. I can do a 2 pack,closed door respray on a saturday morning,but it will look like crap in a couple of months. To do the job properly,the car needs to be stripped to bare metal (8-10...

4G35 is a 1.7l 1686cc engine that was ony offered between 1972 and 1976 in A55 GTO's and never released here, good luck finding one of those. Here is a story of someone who did :P but the story ended unfinished, maybe Dave Trees or Hoonboy know the out come of this story? http://www.bmsc.com.au/for...

Mick There are plenty of "expert" back yarders here that will argue that a tradesman doesn't know what he is talking about,but I WILL give you a couple of pointers. Make sure that you remove ALL of the affected area. Make your patches BEFORE you cut out the rusted area. When welding,keep t...

Dont worry too much about weight as the go by cubic weight. A parcel I recently shipped was 60x50 40 and it had a cubic weight of something like 240KG.
