Thanks boys , One question where do you think is the best place to get the car dynoed before rebuild , around melbourne??

Best bet would of been a dyno night at any of the places up north that hold em, usually 30-40 bucks for 3 runs... I'm guessing though by now you've already started the build though

Sorry for the late reply boys but ive been through a few problems with the vr6 . I lost my 1st gear and then my suspension died out aswell as my drive shaft. so really I have paused the build for awhile until i get the $$$$ ready. so right now im planning to buy a new gear box , driveshafts,complete polyurethane bushes all around. thinker swaybars.new Ksport coilover with HD strut top bushes.and then while the car is stripped I will send it for a fresh respray of same colour.while all that is happening , hopefully ill be forging my new vr6 motor and get it ready for turbo

You have got patience, a thing you need with these old girls. Great engine though, Always will be a great car, keeps puzzling the independent shops when they open the bonnet. Shame about the grief though, they can be a cash cow but awesome when right. Look forward to hear about your forced induction. Keep us posted

cheers

okay ladies and gentleman time has come to the day we all were waiting for , ive started the rebuild and ive changed many ideas. today 23/9/2011 5:30pm ive started taking off the engine and gearbox by 7.30pm it was out Ive found that my clutch is still alright after having no 1st gear where i was taking off in 2nd. My rear main seal is leaking again. thrust bearing R.I.P!!! .
SO THIS TIME My plans are to keep it All original so bad news for some no forced induction
and keep the car clean and problemless =(less headaches).So all im going to be doing is rebuild my gearbox with stronger gears,
new HD clutch kit from exedy.
new drive shafts,new wheel bearings
,Polyuruthane bushes all around.new ball joing
and tie rod ends,new coilovers (still deciding).
3" super sprint exhaust, schrick 276* cams ,
schrick HD valve springs,chip tune.new wheels (audi rs4 rims) and tyres.
And more just cant think of much right now. ill try posting some pictures up

boo on the no turbo thing! But I understand

Haha didn't see that one coming.
Nah sorry, good luck with the rebuild.

For what its worth I hear 268s make like the same power as 276s but don't lose so much low end. Also if your in the gearbox have you considered a 3.94 r&p and a longer 5th gear?
