So, yesterday I managed to spend a few hours on the ute, to have a good look over it and start getting rid of the nasty stuff. Firstly, this thing needs to be licensed – here in WA we are pretty primitive when it comes to modifications, as this ute is close enough to standard, we’ll just fix it...

G’day all, Thought I’d put together a thread for my 1999 Series 3 SS ute. I’ve recently purchased from Melbourne and got it on a truck over to the west coast (Perth). I’ve been building cars for many years, have always got a project on the go. I enjoy the journey of seeing an older car come...

Thanks mate, very informative. I appreciate the information. Much clearer.

I am still considering boost, the Yella Terra 2.4L whipple system seems to produce some great results.

Thanks mate, appreciate the help. I see that the 355ci Stroker is the go to rebuild, everyone seems to go down that road. But I'm considering a well put together forged 304 build, mostly for something different.

Hi all, Long time reader, only just made my way back into a Holden V8 powered car, well Ute (1999 VS SS, manual) Wondering if someone can help with the below questions, as I'm getting many mixed results & differing information. 1. What is the stock 304 connecting rod length ? 2. What is...

G'day all , i was wondering if anyone has looked into or has done this sort of upgrade?, putting VX/VY or VZ clubby brakes on there vs... as my SS really doesn't want to stop, the brakes are useless and are even worse with the new 19 inch wheels i put on acouple of weeks ago. if someone...

My VS SS has VE SSV wheels on it 245/35/19 with lovels eliminator suspension and super low springs all round. wheels don't scrub out or rub on anything even with a full car load

Late 1996 VS SS 180000kms. nothing really has gone wrong - over the years its needed - brake booster, waterpump, diff , 1st gear synco had to get fixed .... thats about it .

Hay Mate , it sounds like you have a leak on one or more injector seals , the term is hunting , however i think yout past the stage of the revs going up and down , to just plane crap idle . when a motor starts to hunt all it is doing is seaching for a good vacuum , once the injector...

i called the bloke , he doesn't want to sell the kit without the car , so ill have to do some Research and track a kit down. im sure ill be able to fine one, im sure im not the first person that wants to strap on 2 turbos on the side of his 5L. hahaha

There is a bloke selling a VN SS for 13,000 and it comes with a twin turbo kit so i was going to offer him 2K for the kit , comes with 2 turbos (T04 I think - not real big) 2 manifolds. i don't want to make huge power or anything , just a bit more get up and go.. it will still be a daily...

the main reason i want to do this is that the SS is just to slow , ive just down graded from a BA GT - P that made 310rwkw.(long story ) i did assume that bigger injectors would be a must , do you what size the stock ones are ? i didnt realize that i had to upgrade the cam. head stud kit...
