Speaking with VASS engineer tomorrow to suss out my options.
Throttle control has turned into a fiasco, neither Bullet or Brunswick can tell me how it should be configured, with cruise control, so no doubt have to sort this myself, along with all the additional parts and stuffing around to get 'all the bits' - no plans - NFI pack of turkeys. In fact Bullet and Brunswick, can't run them down enough - but thats the end of the rant. I will sort it out without them. Sicks of the lies.Attachment 78908
Sorry to hear about the dramas Phil. What's the plan then, if engineer allows it will you go 2" body lift? What about a custom bonnet with an XR8 style bump for clearance?Quote:

Chris, I wanted a car that didn't stand out, 2" lift, bonnet bump,- not really keen, its going thru engineering, and at this rate it will be running on 31's. The annoying thing is total arrogance and ignorance, never heard this before etc BS. After I am told BD have installed 20 S/C kits on GQ's, why cant they get the detail right? Bullet are the same, no instructions of any value. I don't think BD have instructions for anything because they probably can't write. Pathetic.
Might have found what I am looking for. Just need to move the scoop a bit forward to suit the clash pointAttachment 78909
Nice looking GQ apart from that hideous thing. . Sorry to hear the dramas Phil sounds like BD are a bloody nightmare to deal with grrrrrrrr. . .

Yes, they are. I will sort it out.
OK, think I have found the solution that does not look too crazy. These guys can make this scoop with a 20mm - 30mm side extension, including the front, so it will clear the nose pulley. Spoke with the guy and he is an old head, so pretty comfortable using him. Trying to get onto the VASS engineer now to get the detail sorted, will cut the slot today then order the scoop. Its wide enough to cover the existing gills so that is a bonus. Thanks guys for the help on this one.https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/79-serie...EAAOSwCxdawF-f
So, its done, had to cut a hole thru the bonnet to gauge the interference. With the stiffener removed, the pulley sits into the valley and about 2mm above the outer skin, so a 50mm lift would probably have been tight, anyway, am ordering the scoop above complete with 20mm side extensions, so will now clear.

I will tidy up the hole and laminate a stiffener in place to keep the VASS engineer happy.
Ooh nice one glad there is an easy solution. Remember when i dropped my motor in with new turbo looked like it wouldn't fit at all and hit the chassis, a bit if a oh s#!t moment enough to crush the old spirits. . . Always good to walk away sometimes and come back with a fresh head lol. .
