aircon cars have a plastic fan where as the non aircon have the all steel fan blades, v8 is different again but have all steel blades no matter if its ac or no ac

do be aware there are different hubs depending on vehicle options like aircon etc

IMHO the best place for anything LPG in melbourne is Lakeside Automotive in Reserviour

Toyota sell new clutch fan hub liquid but personally i use davies craige clutch hubs

only have 1 drivers front in the wharehouse, thats assuming its for your sedan and non electric seats

available from any auto store. i think i have stock in my rare spares store in melbourne

it better be, i made it lol

some venetians i think genuine i beleive miss the whole bottom fin and aftermarkets have a fut out section 2 fins high that are just around teh head speakers

its called positive because if you didn't have it the crank case would be in "positive" pressure, so your venting that positive pressure

speco make the rubber gasket, retails at about 35 bucks

it is a under seat tension spring from a seat

i buy them from http://www.vehglass.com.au/index.html

there was a few glitches in Robbies artificial intelligence chip so he was sent back to the shop for repairs for a few weeks

agreed about using a precision whackometer

its not a fuseable link as per a modern car, its a length of special fuse wire, yellow in color from memory

iv never had a problem with going from alternator to battery, id probably put a modern fuse inbetween dash and battery though

billet units are imported via et performance in reserviour melbourne, over 200 bucks but supposed to be good, available to order from any auto store

same company runs CPC, High Energy, Drag Rodz etc so if any store sells them they can get them in

long u bolts are available from the same guys who do the kits, i sell the N.A Parts versions, most stores would need to order them in but there available from most auto stores

wiring on the xe was all redone there chase so you can copy that

i thought the factory wire only went to the fuse wire behind the battery but could be wrong

you will be able to connect the battery to alternator direct. if everything else doesnt work then just join the old wire from the loom to the positive on the battery

i tried a few different things and had a number of problems especially killing regulators so just bit the bullit and put a powermaster 120amp (may of been 150, cant remember) single wire in, idles at over 80 amps, only problem i had from then was spitting belts due to the small pulley but apparently factory pulleys fit back on

the short z9 is the z89a, yes there is a ford equivilant but cant remember the number, ask for an au ts50 oil filter, basically any au v8 with an oil cooler but the ts50 is the sure fire hit

unless its changed since i left rares the afl1's i was selling i brought in from america, was cheaper then buying from ford aus but if there better thats good news

ill check next weekend

yep, that's the american one. Check ford for that part, Apparently they have em for under $10 bucks but can take up to 4 weeks to get em in.

 

The pressure they kick in will be due pressure "difference" so as the filter clogs the pressure pre filter will be slightly and increasingly greater than post filter as it clogs up. Till it bypasses. It don't matter if your running 10,000psi or 10psi, the Flow rating and the condition of the filter will dictate when the bypass opens. So the rating you really need is the flow and to make sure the volume of oil your pushing though it does not exceed that flow rating. otherwise the filter will bypass before the end of its service life.

 

 

I hope that makes sense. If you call the companies they can sometimes provide flow specifications of the filter. Fleetguard was good for this.

you have a point, ford still sell there gtho filter designed for higher pressure oil pumps at about 80 bucks each, must just be a better designed flow but i swear reading they had a higher rated pressure releif spring. your right with what your saying so i wonder why

i would love to see a proper comparison but i use the close to period correct motorcraft filters or drift filters with the removal nut on the end, my clevo tends to take alot of effort to remove the filter

the specs thats always missing and i really want to know with these comparisons is what pressure the bypass kicks in, with modified engines and oil pumps in performance motors it can be very important

82da will be xe only, the date codes are created during the end of the design process so to be designed in 82 would of been released already into the year of 82

also in 82 they were flat out developing/releasing the xe and wouldnt of been making parts for a police car that was weeks away from being outdated

cheapest place to buy the extrusion is rare spares, part number 60-054

used 10mm topguns for 10 years never had a problem

i mucked around with a trans temp gauge once with 2 senders, i used 2 senders, before/after, the 1 gauge but used a switch to flick between which sender it used
