Im not sure what you want pictures of most of Australia has no people living in it I dont think most people out side Australia have any real concepte that theres a whole lot of sweet f--k all in this wide brown land the population density graph for the US should help to explain what Im on about or third highest density is the same as the US lowest so when I try and explain that there is no people living there well thats sought of what I mean it is still quite common to drive all day in Australia and only pass another vehicle every few hours at the hottest times of the year out west I have driven all day passed not one person coming the other way the has been only slight damage recored from cyclone Nathan thats not to say the cyclone wasnt big and destructive just not many people live were it has gone now cyclone yasi in 2011 now that trashed a huge area of QLD Paul

so you arrived all safe and sound let us no how you find the tough NZ autumn or as you blokes call it fall soon to winter there Paul

love it only in Australia can we laugh at ourselves like that Paul

by the look of the doors and lids I think we can all say your well hung Paul

cant wait to see this bonnet when its done sorry hood sounds interesting Paul

yes lucky for us not many people live in that part of the world here mind you we could have done with some more cyclones this year no rain in most of the tropics the difference between a hurricane and a cyclone is they spin the oppisite way like water going down the the plug hole in the bath Paul

welcome looks the goods I have no idea what its worth but if it was mine I would just drive it every were looks like a short wheel base Paul

all systems go hope it all comes out ok for you Paul

looks like a neat job to me gotta be pretty chuffed with it Paul

just quickly jumped on google and converted that equal's around 5.8 MPG and thats about what I would expect I dont know what you blokes do different than we do out here but our MPG is better than the over in the states I feel the speed you blokes drive at has a lot to do with speed limit in Australia is 100km/h or 60 Miles/Hour Paul

well that last photo shows why we just call them COOL POWERED MACKS out here no one ever really calls them Maxidynes or Thermodynes interesting that the Aussie fiberglass bonnet is a lot smoother inside and out than the US one less ribs ect Paul

yeah its a great feeling when a plan all comes together well done and you no what these blokes on here will want next a some pictures and a longer video Paul

welcome mate I think the main difference is just the injector pump Paul

now first let me say one thing Im not judging at all or criticizing what you have done just curious as I feel in Australia all this hot rodding to the motors the engine life would be shortened to hours on heavy work but thats just me so one thing to bear in mind with any of my comments is I have no experiance with hot rodding Mack motors car motors well I was young once now to your question to me if I was to stand i front of a small fan and blow on it to get it to spin it would take a small puff of air if it was a big fan it would need a bigger puff of air so if you were to start with a small turbo the motor would need to spin at a certain speed to fully spin the turbo so it would only stand to reason that on a bigger turbo it would need even more air to shift at the same speed so the motor would have to even rev harder move the turbo at the same speed and then if you were to add bigger load on the inlet side of the turbo ie a bigger fan then it would need even more revs from the ,motor to spin the turbo as fast as when you only had a small turbo on it so from my ramblings I feel that what has happened is what I would expect to happen and the pump bloke is fairly accurate with what he says as the only way now or more to the point the next step is more fuel to give even a bigger bang at lower rpm's to help spin the turbo quicker or at least thats the way I see it hope some of this makes sense seeya Paul

have a great day general

I have never heard of such a thing before just goes to show that we just keep on reinventing the wheel thanks for sharing Paul

old speed way Im guessing cool

Tim you and Kristen will have a swinging time Im sure Dont you go leading Max astray you wont know your self going into winter in NZ it will be a shock to your system LOL seeya Paul

hey whats the black tape for ???? does the window run in it or is it going to be a template to make some thing to replace it Paul

thats one sweet lookin dog

Love in the the old big Banana it would be over 20 years since I've been there were's water fall ?? seeya Paul

are you sure the earth is conected to the chassis propeerly quite iften they have corrosian under neath might want pull it of and clean the chassis proberly with some and paper Paul

the E9 V8 the power and the glory for ever and ever amen here endeth the lesson

this is a fair comment my wife and I were looking at buying something a while ago and we new nothing about it and it all sounded to good to be true so we jumped on google searched thru some reviews had never done this before and almost all we found were negitive reviews did find a couple of good ones So it got me to thinking only people with a problem would take the time to right a review so we googled the TV the stove the micro wave the car the computer the and they all had reviews some not so good some had whole heap of positive reviews as well I guess what Im saying is anywhere you go and ask you would get a fairly good cross representation of peoples thoughts by just talking to them just some thoughts Paul
