i got a 3.89 ( i think ) off ebay. vl commo v8 OR TURBO LSD from a guy in melbourne who owns a gearbox\diff shop. 300 and free shipping. second hand but was reshimmed and inspected. i also had it checked and its in good nick.had a heap of diff centres on there. maybe check it out

i have 16x6 or 6.5 ROH wheels on mine. not sure of offset. they where on there when i got it.
by the part number on the spring, says i have 120y struts ??? 195x45 on front and 195x50 on the back. does scrub a little on the inner part if the guard and had to roll the lip of the floor pan where the inner guard joins flat. and had to modify the front lip of the wheel arch at the bottom in front of the tire too. both very easy jobs to do. you'll see what i mean when u get em on. i would rather go for 15's my self so u can get it a bit lower but they are 2,500 worth of wheels so why not leave em on. if any one can post pics for me i can email them to them, and u can see what they look like. nice wheel. good dish too. send me a pm if u can help!!!

not too worried about the heater box. the tunnel needs to be done any way as whoever did the conversion cut the sides bashed the crap out of it and just screwed a plate over the top.... it hidious. bodgy is not the word so i though while it was being done for a couple hundred and a few hours work i would do it properly.....it actually needds some gearbox work now so it is a good time to do it i guess.

thanks for that pigdog. so with the wider tunnel i will still need to modify it slightly anyway.if i bring it straight out 3-4 inches first would that be sufficient.?????

i thought this was the case. i will take off the thermostat and see what i find. thanks for agreeing pig dog and bert.... thought i was right but didn't want to satart an arguement..... hahahahah cheers

yeah i would say it is but just want to make sure i can remove th box without the motor. if i can't i may as well leave the one i have in there as its the only reason i would widen it. i'll pm u when i know for sure and let us know if u are willing to cut it up for us when u decide.... thanks andy

thanks guys...... i'll look into it a bit more. thanks for your suggestions.

but if its passing thriugh the radiator too quickly it won't have enought time to cool it sufficiently... maybe??????? thats what i heard.. ie. it will be in and out before it cools.

need to widen the tunnel of my 1200 ute for ca18det as it only has standard tunnel and i may be able to get a 180b auto tunnel. does anyone know if this would big enough so that i could remove the gearbox on its own ????????

so it sounds like the radiator should be big enough then.... maybe the guy before me removed the thermostst centre and the water is moving through too fast to get cooled. if i start it up cold i should see water flowing straight away yeah???????? instead of when the thermostat should at designated temp?????
