got an canopy, went camping to test it, fantastic but I want to add C-rail for faster and more secure fastening of the canopy... either by making my own roof rack system or adding to the current one

you can put spacers underneath the bags and adjusting the sensors... but it will always be wayyy stiffer then just swapping out for springs especially with lift

had r33 gtst with rb25det, stock intercooler and piping had layer of oil in them, went larger intercooler plus catch can and new piping never saw any oil in any of the pipings afterwards. in many cars the oil mist binds with the soot from EGR and becomes a restriction in the end

not sure how it is in US... but usually diesel has nicer mpg then gasoline but you'll spend the difference plus extras on maintenance due to EGR, DPF, adblue, NOx etc, unless you always drive long distances then these systems are quite good, but for short distance drives they end up being more...

ditched the 1.5" spacers on the back and put 2" the fitment looks much better, still have 1.5" spacers on front

I did change the canister, purge valve and the vent valve prior. even if they had no issues I just don't trust them, the car is driven 250k km

I did figure out the filling issues, I had been scratching my head for some time, I had installed US motor works fuel pump 2 years ago due to my old pump rusted through and the fuel meter not working, but the breath valve on the 2 year old pump was sticking closed. So I bought a Bosch pump and...

Thanks for that, I did change charcoal canister, no problem with old but its driven 250k kms, I did check the power to both purge valve and vent valve, both got 14.5v when engine on and both are new, so I unhooked all of the lines and blew gently through them. Seems like that did work, but I...

Been trying to find something like that for the 5.3 engine, only seen the trailblazer 4.2 I did change the fuel pump 1 or 2 years ago it had a hole in it. the lines on top of the tank looked good. Constantly clicks off, no matter how low or full the tank is, I can only pump very slowly. I did...

Did the Sonnax performance pack upgrade on the valve body, will leave the rest for when I take the transmission out on a happy day, did also change the cooling lines what an absolute horror story that is on the v8, so tight and so miserable work. Main thing was to disable the PWM converter...

Yeah I did use the info from that thread helped a lot especially the wiring diagrams. Thanks! I really want some 17" wheels and get the same size tires, to have more rubber. also the offset is quite whack at front after flipping the upper joint and adjusting the camber. I think next is to do...

So I've installed a proper transfercase which works beautifully no more bang-slipt situations when I need the 4wd.

I've been eyeing snorkels for some time now, since river crossings are quite common here.

Clear coated the front lights, painted the shrouding in them black also made some mudflaps for it. Bought an trailblazer transfercase, just need to get the rest of the bits and bobs for the 4wd mod. also waiting for my hood to arrive. shame about the wheel bolt pattern otherwise I'd already...

That is quite tempting, currently I'm trying to keep myself from running wild on the saab atleast until my other LS project car is finished, but I do think it needs a bit more oumph. thats reassuring to know, atleast I can run it longer now with less worries till I get to the point where I...
