It had spun a rod bearing, they can make similar noises if they have a failing lifter, changing the oil or oil grade can help if it’s a lifter

Hoping to get it rolling today and pick up the replacement engine and box next weekend!

I personally never blew up a getrag but for future proofing I actually done a t56 swap. I have heard plenty of reports or people running 300+kw through getrags with no problems, depends on the type of clutch and the mechanical sympathy when driving

​@@MrWispy99 how easy is it to t56 swap in terms of wiring and other bits like pedal box tailshaft and bolting to the super 6 etc? If theres a reliable way for a getrag even when thrashed or ill get one built I reckon might be OK to thrash a normal amount if I get one built plus I'm only thinking of pushing at the most 300hp no more so that might help the getrag stay very healthy too

You need an adapter plate and custom clutch, the getrag tailshaft won’t work but I think a Ute one will but you would have to measure, pedal box and clutch master are the same but will need a hose to suit the slave cylinder in the t56, wiring isn’t bad, might have to get the speed sensor calibrated All in all it’s cheaper to buy 5 getrags and replace them each time they die, the t56 conversion including buying the box is around 5-6 grand depending on clutch and other things to make it work

Wdym?

It’s a custom grind from Brushworks Slick Sixes, needs a bit of work done to the heads to make it work but a good thing

Yeah sure was

lol ecotecs are some of the best motors ever made

Ecotec are easy af to work on, last over 800ks if you treat it right. Alloytec is the real pitas.. even after you fix their factory fk up lol

Rims are some ‘Driftek’ replicas and exhaust is an x force twin 2 1/2” with pacemaker extractors and no cats

@@MrWispy99 thanks heaps brother , love how your cars setup man looks the goods and goes great

I’ve shot 2 3/4” and 3” both with no hassles, haven’t shot anything shorter

Sure was

Quicker and easier than a pump I’d say, not going to complain if we’re allowed to have them!

Politicians watched too many movies and got scared. My mate has a pump action 30-06 but we can't get a pump shotgun. Just silly.

@@DATSUNC210RB20DET I AGREE I GOT A PUMP ACTION 308 DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL

Been more than 5 weeks

fair point. my comment was based more on the tendency of left wing parties to campaign for the banning/recategorisation of "new' firearms.@@foonboyinc

that aged well

@@MrTrevor068 not to say they didn't try. just you wait, they'll try again too. these days are tough for us gun owners.

@@TheKetamineSquid if you say so, or not I guess, given the accuracy of your predictions

Had no issues at all, aim seem to be spot on but it does come with angled stock shims to angle the buttstock to suit either lh, rh or neutral, I’ve kept mine as delivered and works great With the release button being in the middle it’s perfectly ambidextrous and easy to use

I have just just put together a 3.9 with a Trutrac to go in it, the factory lsd is pretty inconsistent and tends to unlock at the worst times!

I have shot both Winchester and Trust 28 gram trap loads with no issue providing I’ve kept the gun clean and well oiled on the gas piston slide Has no issue cycling with the lighter loads and it great for clay shooting with not much felt recoil

I initially had gutted cat with a 2.5” Redback, was pretty obnoxious and loud, much better sound from the twin system and you can actually drive it places without attracting too much attention 👌🏻

How clean a s well oiled is your gas piston assembly? I have found if mine gets inconsistent to give where the gas piston rides on a thorough clean and keep it well oiled and it runs like clockwork

It’s a cross bar safety behind the trigger in the rear of the trigger guard

It is yes

Just a cam, crow ‘stage 2’

Pretty good for the price, everything fits well and is very nicely finished After maybe 40 round after first using it and no cleaning I had some failure to feeds (quick tap of the cocking lever forward sorted it) and I found some dirt and carbon had built up causing the gas piston to stick on its guide, since then been keeping it clean and lubed and goes great!

Same here

Cycles fine, I’ve ran Winchester and trust trap rounds and no issues, only thing to watch out for is making sure the gas piston guide (outer diameter of the magazine tube) is kept clean and oiled so it has less resistance for the lighter rounds

Very good! Was tossing up between them and glad I got the Templeton in the end One thing I’ll recommend is make sure you keep the outside of the magazine tube where the gas piston runs on nice and clean and well oiled, mine had picked up some debris and I had to polish out some score marks which had caused the gas piston to grab a bit and caused a few failure to feeds, easy enough to avoid with some good maintenance if you’re watching out for it

Do it! Bloody good thing

Makes no sense at all! Not complaining that we can buy fun things like these though

@@MrWispy99 same

The pump issue is all about perception. It looks scary.

Yup, 20 inch also has a pic rail under the front aswell if I’m not mistaken Can also get both lengths in synthetic stock

Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous! They’re getting closer and closer, from the big fanfare of the lever actions a few years back to lever release and now these button release It’s good that we are able to own guns like these but still stupid about the semi auto ban

Shhhhh they'll hear you...

@@Spacegoat92 your not wrong!

That cam was just lined up at 0°

@@MrWispy99 awesome man just to confirm it is a stage 2 mace cam?

@@sethbarham8182 Crow stage 2, bought through mace and mace tune

@@MrWispy99 awesome dude thanks heaps and was also just wondering if you kept the timing chain tensioner on or did u remove not sure if I have to leave it in cheers

@@sethbarham8182 I used a double row chain which I had to remove the tensioner for and remove the drive gear for the balance shaft, just left the shaft in there

I’d love to give this thing hell more often but being the wife’s car she would murder me if I busted it 😂

@@MrWispy99 my vf ss wagon got cam headers new springs push rods otr hiflow cats 3 inch exhaust all the good parts and tune made 430 hp with stock heads next is torque converter and 3.7 diff ratio

@@MrWispy99 mine had 4 cylinder mode and one of lifters wasn’t working running rough so I decided why the shop had it pulled down may aswell do some mods

That’s the way to go!! Good excuse for an upgrade!

If only 😂

They aren’t the fastest or most powerful but the sound makes up for that!!
