hehe probably easier to just drop it, it's suspended up pretty high in the air. Wreckers won't let ya use power tools either. Yeah same plugs, and physically the same.. If it has a part number on it maybe I can check that against an original piazza one if anyone has one out of the car.. RB Gemini al...

Yeah the Holden "Formula" pack came with hard plastic bar with the skirt attached as well as the rear spoiler. Skirt even had the cutouts for the jap indicators which looks a bit funny..

Looks great with those wheels

Probably heaps of black ones around because they're the best looking and people couldn't bring themselves to wreck them :)

Looks like the hard plastic bumper, has the indicators/parkers in the wrong spot for soft one.

hehe can't afford to grab it, wouldn't be much fun removing it either! Went back today and got the alternator from it. It's much smaller than the one i've got in the car now, might be able to fit an RB25 turbo now. Someones taken the diff, tailshaft is sitting there still. Strange it has rebuildable...

Yeah definitely a 4ZC1, someones removed the head so it's easy to see the 4ZC1 casting on the side of the block. Alternator appears to be the same as the Piazza so i'm going to grab that since my original has been replaced with some stupid chunky one with dodgy wiring to the original loom and barely...

Might have to get a new front tailshaft made up.. Cost a bit though.. Hey Bob do you have the ratios for the shuttle box? Theres one at my local wreckers with box still in it.. Got a small output shaft box with same ratios as the original box in my car now. Wonder if I could put the gear set into sh...

I've got the Holden Piazza one, Isuzu Impulse "It's beauty increases with speed" one, and some early 80s Jap one that's in english. I'll scan them if you haven't got those particular ones.

True the VL one is much smaller and made from plastic so much lighter. It should flow more than the original because it's just a straight pipe with the wire suspended within, also there's a heat sink but the fins go in line with the air flow. Inlet appears to have the same bolt pattern as the stock ...

I can't really see how the power steering pressure can be altered with the Aussie delivered setup. Only electrical thing in the system is that sensor and there's no way that can do anything to the pressure. It does say in the sales brochure that it has speed variable power steering though. Could onl...

Yeah it was the same as those cars, he didn't actually have a listing for it under Isuzu Piazza or anything. I just gave him my seal and he matched it up to a Jackaroo one. Irmschers didn't have a plastic thing at all I don't think. Think it's just flat panel with a sticker similar to what's on the ...
