Hey Sam, Just something I did t my Tonner that was quite easy, you guys were talking drop tanks, but if your looking for an easy way to get more fuel capacity, a second OEM tank will fit on the opposite side with just a filler neck entry change, the rest bolts in & you have doubled your fuel capacity. Just thought I'd pass that one on. Love your channel, keep up the good work!! Cheers Steve Northern Rivers NSW
Hi I watched your show its good I have a holden hq utei wont to do it oringe and black just wondering the name of the colour and the paint codes but very good show
Consider the time your engine runs whilst vehicle stationary before this bedding the rings under load. The rings are going to bed during cam run in, more in a moment. The hone is not supposed to cut the ring, consider cast iron rings as opposed to moly etc, still going to cut? hmmm. All engines wear in mating componentry, that's why you do an early oil change to remove microscopic particulates or other contaminant ingress from assemnly. Mating will wear down high surface contact until median reached whereby lubrication then enables minimal wear over extended period i.e. years. This equates to fractions of a micron, if it's thousands then Huston you got a problem. On initial start up motor should immediately be run up to 3000 rpm for 20 mins to harden the lobes on the cam hence not grinding lobe off from binding on lifter. Good to see you checked ring gap but the oil ring carrier backing ring goes on piston a given direction. That secret is old school & you wont find it in a book. Good job though lads, nice to see these older utes back on the road where they should be. Cheers
In my opinion the best Looking Holden is a HG and HQ. HQ being the best looking Holden ever made. As much as i love style side Utes can never go wrong with a HQ One tonner
I followed tj for ages and then started watching your channel and always wondered what part of perth you where from before you headed over to queensland and you legit live 2 streets from me hahaha
Great Content Sam and Zach the build is spot on no corners cut well done boys! I'm currently restoing a HJ tonner I have had for many years! What power window kit did you guys use on the HQ? Thank in advance
For a naturally aspirated engine, you gonna want a 2.5 inch exhaust, it creates the best performance. Any bigger and the exhaust back pressure is too low and you lose torque. Though 3 inch'll sound better
@@speyles I did it with mine before I sold it for some silly reason.... it was a warm 350 and I just ran a balance pipe about 4 to 6 inches after the collectors on the extractors.. also looks sick when it's a cold morning and the lumpy idle would pump the steam out 🤙🤙🤙
Mu uncle built one with only the frame to work with he finished it after five years of working on it and painting with the original engine which is a v8
Biggest mistake of my life was selling my HQ after spending 2years of my life building it. Brings back really fond memories watching your build.

You literally drove on my street 😂😂
Were you on Canning Road on Sunday?
Hey sam you should head up to rockhampton qld in July for the big boys expo with your ute would be awesome to see you there
where did you guys get the gauges?
Bloody beautiful toner lad

Awesome build legends
Hi where did you get your crash pad from please
There better be somewhere to sing when ya come to the Melbourne 4x4 show
Who built the chassis of the car?
Go the HQ!
sam i think you got some competition for the channel he does pretty well as the host
@@speyles you've become a role model now, well as long as he doesn't have the same driving skills as you the HQ will hopefully be breakdown free : )
Sounds great
you can use the it in floods the
is it going to have a Gilmore belt set up?
For a naturally aspirated engine, you gonna want a 2.5 inch exhaust, it creates the best performance. Any bigger and the exhaust back pressure is too low and you lose torque. Though 3 inch'll sound better
put the exhaust out the side infront of the rear wheels
@@speyles I did it with mine before I sold it for some silly reason.... it was a warm 350 and I just ran a balance pipe about 4 to 6 inches after the collectors on the extractors.. also looks sick when it's a cold morning and the lumpy idle would pump the steam out 🤙🤙🤙
Hey guiys, love your stuff. Wondering where I might be able to buy the sound deadener kit and the dash panel from the video?
Love the dash
Been waiting for this !
Great work
hi sam ive got my own youtube chanel and i was just wondering what edioting app you use
Vroom vroom
good shit mate
Steering Controls !!!
I need those tail lights in my life
YES
nice do more of this sam :)
Who’s Ute is it
Mu uncle built one with only the frame to work with he finished it after five years of working on it and painting with the original engine which is a v8
what engine is in her
Unlocks hoist, walks under car... who needs safety 😂
Well done fellas so far so good! 👍🏻
How much does your patrol weigh
That's a wicked build. Did he build the centre console himself or is that custom made by someone? Keep up the great work and hope to see more on this.
@@speyles was there any footage filmed?
Go 3 inch, stainless exhaust, drop tank, looks better with drop and sounds better with 3 inch, just my opinion on the car
the tank sits right behind the cab why the F would you drop the tank, it's a 1 tonner mate, not a car hahaha 😂😂
i cant believe he lives just around the corner from me, thats crazy
how great would that be not
Sick video sam your bro has one awesome hq so clean.
One question about beding in a motor dose the same principle work with a boosted v8
Great vid Sam. Look out zack might take over lol
Who is Zac?
i wish i could put my caprices ls2 into a hq the hq is my dream car

what engine us in her
Who is the guy in yellow
So how are you supposed to bedding in an engine with an auto?
Its a manual 🙄
God I miss my hz and wb 😭
Hey Sam i'd love to see you and Jeff "Home Built By Jeff" do a collaboration or at least a visit.
why didn’t you put a built auto in it
So much room under the bonnet - you could fit a spare donk in there and still shut the bonnet.
That sucks I just moved to the NT. 😭
Sounds like my land rover
Where will you move to in qld because I’m in Brisbane as well
