Hi mate sorry it took me so long to answer its running a 1.3mm MLS headgasket the head was surfaced but not much taken off just a clean up.
I'm in the process of doing more work on her with the power it was making has broken quiet a bit. Upgraded to 31 spline billet axles after twisting the 28 spline ones. Running a Jim Berry single plate with heaps of clamp after cooking the OSG. Broken the RB25 gearbox installing ppg billet selectors and a few other goodies to help it shift better and more reliable. Also fitting a larger 5558 turbo and a retune should see close to 400kw

Looks great I can't begin to imagine what that sorta power feels like in a 1200 ute!
How does she go on the circuits?

It actually handles quiet well lots of fun still sorting it a little.
I don't run high boost on circuit as it just bakes the tyres.
Hooks up nicely with with the spool and caltacs. Stops really well now I have some project Mu pads
This year money permitting will be doing a lot more events.
Im aiming for a 1.06 around Wakefield Park and a 10 flat quarter mile
last year saw a 10.8@133 and a 1.10 around Wakefield with brake and traction issues.

Andrew,
How do you find the Caltrac on the circuit? in comparison to your old coupe do you think they are a worthwhile upgrade or do they bind under curtain conditions on the track?

Mcdat I had to recess the head a little for cam lobe clearance around 1mm or so not heaps and also running tomei springs.
Mcgee It handles different to the coupe not in a bad way its a lot more aggressive with how power comes on . Doesn't squat as much as the coupe did but still feels predictable. Next track day I do i plan on doing some laps with them disconnected just to see if it does make a difference. It doesn't bind up and still turns in pretty well. I'm looking forward to more track time once my gearbox is repaired.

Hi Andrew. Your ute is looking great and not as dusty as your old coupe is in my shed. Kids seam to take a toll on motorsport. I would love to know more about the adjustable cams, are the the same as the coupe. I am able to get around 250hp @16 psi but can't get near your old 300hp+ figues. do you remember if you played with cams.

Like I have said before the coupe turns heads and I know I will kick myself if ever I sell it it is over 40 years old now and aging better than me.
