Looks very nice Brad. :y: Josh :cool:

Very Very Nice. Top Job. :y: Josh :cool:

Any new updates Troy?

Looks really neat and tidy Sam. :) If you want to get some Clear Lights (Guards and Tailights), get some from SSS Auto Parts in Brunswick. They do them really cheap for Brand New and Very Good Quality Items. They also do Chrome Calais Grilles for a good price too. ;) Josh :cool:

Spotted a White KE30 Sedan putting down Pascoe Vale Rd in Glenroy/Oak Park around the BP Servo at 8.50pm last night.

Spotted Evan and Jake at Epping Plaza on Sunday afternoon. :)

Cheers Tyler. :y: That is pretty much our plan for this Carby, and if it works well, we'll do the same to The Smurf. :) Josh :cool:

I love this! So original and clean! Please don't modify it stupidly. It's too good to ruin. :) Josh :cool:

Pink Floyd. :)

This looks awesome! I would love to see more info and pics of this little beast. :) Josh :cool:

Cheers. If you can post some pics of the fitment that would be awesome. :) As soon as we get some Black Floor Carpet, we'll start finishing off the interior. And once we finish the interior, some Victorian RC Members MIGHT see Ollie on a Cruise/Meet. :) Josh :cool:

Hey guys, Not much new has happened recently. We have decided to have a play with the standard 4K Carby. Dad is going to have a go at filing out the Jets in the Carby. He was talking to our Mechanic and he files out Carby Jets it on Forklifts all the time with a special Filing tool. So dad's gonna either borrow the mechanic's filer, or buy one himself from work, and give it a go at Jetting the Carby himself, and we'll see what happens. Has anyone else done this? Any Pros or Cons of doing this from other people's experiences? Cheers, Josh :cool:

Wow! This looks great. All the best with the car and the Gearbox. :) Cheers, Woz & Josh :cool:

This is really looking cool. :y: The paintwork looks very very good. Have you polished it yet? Can't wait to see the finished product. :) Josh :cool:

I'm sorry, but IMO, that has just destroyed it. But, each to their own. :)

So, would a 7K-ZE + W58 + Hilux Diff = A good combo? If so, I might consider that option for Ollie. Also, would I need to engineer it and/or get a mod plate for it? Josh :cool:

Yep. All you guys are 100% correct. + Rep to Altezza, Stu, and Ryan. :yes: For now, I'll just be keeping a standard k40 4-speed, and I'll toy around ideas and thoughts for Diff Ratios. If I was to go for a W58 Gearbox and Bellhousing from a KR42r, should I do a 7K Conversion while I'm at it? Mounting the Gearbox will need some modification, and I thought, IF I do go for the W58 conversion, would a 7K be worth doing as well? And if I do go for a 7K, would I need to upgrade the diff? Celica, Hilux or R31? All of this MIGHT be done (if I choose to go down this path) to Ollie, when I find money and time to do it all. But for now, it's just an idea and thought. :) Josh :cool:

Yeah. What I'm trying to say is: Throw in a 4.11 or 4.3 diff gear, and have a standard 5-speed k50 gearbox and gears, but get 5th machined from 0.86 to 0.75 for better economy and cruising. :) I may, in 5 years time, add an SC14 Supercharger with Intercooler with 8psi to the 4K, with the system like this: Supercharger --> Intercooler --> (Blow-off Valve)? --> 28/32 Weber OR Jetted 4K Carby, with a Decompression plate. Josh :cool:

Have you tried advertising on Calaisturbo or JustCommodores? Josh :cool:

Thanks for that. :y: I was thinking of it because the 5th Gear is suppose to help with Fuel Consumption on Highway-Driving, but it's only an 800rpm difference to a 4-speed. And to make 5th Gear like every other gear, it would improve the economy even more. By having a dragged out 5-speed, it would mean you still get the same Ratio of 1st to 4th, and a 5th that would be a cruiser gear, driving at 100km/h revving at @ 2500-2800rpm. I know with a 4.5 ratio diff (tested again on Forza 3 -- Redline @ 6000rpm), 1st goes to 40km/h, 2nd = 65km/h, 3rd = 100km/h, 4th = 140km/h, and 5th = 160km/h. But at 100km/h, 4th is revving at 4000-4200rpm, and 5th is revving at 3200rpm. Behind a 4K "Hi-Cam", I know is not the best engine for all this, but it does have Extractors into a 2" system, and it will have a either Jetted 4K Carby, or a 28/32 Weber on it. We live behind the Melbourne Airport, and to Travel to, for example, Church on a Sunday (Glenroy), More than 70-80% of the Drive is 100km/h zones. So it could be under the definition of Country Driving. (Lancefield Rd = 100km/h, Sunbury Rd (and through Bulla) = 60 and 100km/h, Tullamarine FWY = 80 and 100km/h, Western Ring Road = 80 and 100km/h, and Pascoe Vale Road = 60km/h). And having said that, a longer 5th Gear will be great for Fuel Economy, and for cruising. :) Josh :cool:

I was talking to Ryan (SLO-030), and I was thinking of this. If I was to keep a 4-speed k40 behind a 4K, would it be worth dragging out the diff ratio to 3.9 or 3.7, OR, get a 5-speed k50, throw in a 4.11 diff ratio, but get the 5th gear cog machined from 0.86 to 0.75? I've tried the theory.......(on Forza 3) and a 0.75 5th gear will mean the Revs will drop on upshift like 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th gear does, rather than just an 800rpm difference. It'd be like 1500-2000rpm difference, and even like the other gears. Ryan said there would be no point in doing the 5th gear modification, because you're only going to blow up your gearbox one day, and I agree with him 100%. I just want to hear other people's opinions and ideas on this topic. :) Josh :cool:

The Stickers and the Polish makes the car look great, Mr. Ben-89. :) Good work. :y: Josh :cool:

Saw a Yellow KE30 Sedan pull into a Go-kart(?) place in Epping yesterday at around 2pm-ish. Was lowered with Whitewalls. We were in the EWT wagon, again. :)

All good Luke. Was good to finally meet you and have a chat. All the best with those Corner Lights. ;) Woz & Josh :cool:

Looks good mate. ;) Josh :cool:
