Wow!

Fast forward nearly 10 years....

Loved seeing the restoration of the red GSR-V.
Pity the red JD didn't follow suite.

And it has been also 10 years since I have talking about the white GSR-V widebody conversion.
Only difference is I managed to secure a Dash widey from Japan!

Hi Chris,

Just a quick hello after our chat!

Most of the contact these days is on FB or Twitbook if you like :) Just google Austarion Facebook!

Cheers, Mal

Bump for some updates. More to come when I find my notes.

Big deal.... It gets a scrub every now and then :) This is the GSR-V I restored but I'm yet...

I've got the reo from a JB ba...

Just bumping this post up for Shane.... I got a set of 17in Performance mags from Shane with tyres. They are more or less new but soiled from being kept in the back yard. Crazing is apparent on the lip with the clearcoat releasing. There are 2 sets left for around $200 a set (x4) and caps. Good valu...

With the spate of large LSD's bought from the US, there should be some open diffs available cheap. However, I think the offer from Redzone for a good diff $150 shipped is pretty good value, esp when you're in need of one. I'm a little surprised some of the SA members haven't come to your rescue...Pa...

Check the diff area if there is a lot of oil about. CV Boots as well...any tears? (Being a JA, there's only a small chance it has a LSD). If not, my guess is that your Tailshaft has ceased up and your torque tube needs to be greased up if not the bearing replaced inside. New uni-joints on the tailsh...

Does anyone know the size of the O ring on the speedo gear on the side of the manual gearbox?
I was hoping to buy one before I arrange to have it replaced and area cleaned up.
I hate mess under the car... :?

However the exhaust manifold is not entirely the same as it has it's dual pulse arrangement(own channels) but mounts up just the same.

PM sent.

To the JD registry we go Batman! :D
And a match with Hoonies car.

The black widey photo near the end is the car I imported through J-spec which Marcus owns now! :)

Hi, I recently bought some handbrake cables to fix my JA. However, it was the left caliper that seized that was all the problem. Double check that it's actually the cables that are shot by getting the cable released from the caliper(s) and pull to see if there is movement in the cable. If the handbr...

Gormz the cheeky bugger has scored the red euro spec that was crashed on the Gold Coast recently! The only red euro spec widey Starion I know of is Anthony's ?? There was also a turquoise painted euro one that was originally red?? Any of the above?? I have a repaired original one piece air dam avai...
