I have tried to post a pic by clicking the "Insert Image" icon above then pasting into that the URL of the picture from my OLD HOLDEN page. I've tried it with the .html removed from the end and also with it still there. Neither works. HELP

Wilson Nitrous pro flow direct port dry nitrous kit. This should look sweet plumbed into the throttle bodies and if set up correctly hopefully add an easy 200 or more horsepower. Inlet manifold burst panel hopefully will save me money in the unfortunate case of a nitrous backfire. This should prevent damage to the throttle bodies, MAP sensor, pressure regulator Nitrous bottle mounting bracket. It's compact and easily adjustable for angle. It will be removed when the car is used on the road. The bracket is removable with just the small mounting plate staying in place. It will be covered by the spare wheel. Nitrous line was routed up under the passenger side inner guard out of harms way. Once it was mounted I removed it and wrapped it in a nylon sleeve that also houses the solenoid wiring and the wiring for the dakota digital sender units. This is how the nitrous solenoids will look when mounted. There are mounting tabs on each of the the air filter front mounting plates. These tabs will hold a mounting plate which holds the solenoids and plumbing.

Nitrous kit install progress. All finished other than some fittings I need from the US. Whilst I'm waiting I'll rip everything apart and have the welding done on the manifold and then have it aluminium sprayed.. Nitrous blowback burst valve will be mounted at the front of the manifold on the plenum. Each throttle body is ported to the plenum by a 6mm hole. This should allow the plenum to pressurise and the valve to release this pressure in the case of a nitrous or any backfire. Combined dual nitrous distribution block and throttle body linkage housing. The nitrous block supplied with the kit are works of art but didn't suit my setup. This one will keep all the pipes relatively short and equal length. Nitrous nozzle pipes run. I still need the connectors to connect these pipes to the distribution block. All the nitrous plumbing sits in the valley. With the air filters in place most of the plumbing is hidden. Nitrous setup finished. Now it will be pulled apart and the inlet manifold will be sent out for JET HOT coatings in a brushed aluminium finish.

Front end pictures.. HR crossmember from CRS. CRS lowered stubs. Kings springs from HK-HG V8, Monroe shocks, Torana steering rack with custom mounts, powder coated black. Custom adjustable Whiteline front and rear sway bars. Superpro bushes throughout the whole car. Assembled front end. All powder coated, painted, chromed and polished.. Adjustable front stabiliser bar ends. This, along with the rear bar, were custom made by Whiteline for me. I am replacing the rubber/urethane front crossmember insulators with machined aluminium versions. This removes the play between the crossmember and the chassis. It does allow more vibration etc to be transferred to the chassis but luxury is not my aim, performance is. Steering shaft uses Torana uni joints. Rack is a front mounted Torana. Crossmember to subframe nounts machined from aluminium instead of rubber or urethane. Lower ball joint covers neaten things up. Billet aluminium Steering column cover. This will cover all the steering column visible in the engine bay. Looks much neater.

Hi Scott, that is going to be a sweet ride indeed, hope you keep hold of it forever. What are the specs on the front brakes? is that an adaptor plate on the caliper mount? Cheers Brian |
