I believe the mains journal width is different between 6 and 7 bolt cranks, so you should be able to measure the width where the bearings sit in place. Another clue is if it has separate mains bearing caps then it's likely to be a 6 bolt but if it's a crank cradle or some of the bearing caps are bri...

yeah would love to take it back to NZ but I'm not NZ-bound (to live) for another 5+ years, after Australia will be carrying on travelling the world. Unfortunately owning a widebody (or even keeping my VR-4 Evo in NZ) doesn't quite fit into that :(

You can fit them to our blocks, but there are quite a few mods that need to be done. There are 16V SOHC heads which suit the earlier orientation too, they come fr...

any plans to change wheels/tyre combination? I can't help but feel those white/red walls detract from a cleanish car.

mate I have one which I was going to chop up for MPI too but to be honest I'll probably never get around to doing it. What's your offer? It's located in Taumarunui.
