Moving on from Corvette's for the moment and have sold my 91 ZR1.Had her for nearly 10 years and have had a great time. Only thing left is the genuine leather bag, Jacket and cap. Just want to know how rare and what would they be worth now?. It is a very limited market here in Australia. To the...

Well finally got the Z started with the key. For what its worth I ended up pulling the plug on the clutch start switch and connecting the purple wire from it to the powered yellow wire on the starter enable relay. Removed relay altogether. Started up straight away first time. :happyanim:Dont...

Hi Guys, thought you might like to have a look at some Downunder Corvettes. We have held our 25th Conention over Easter this year, its is also the 60th year of Corvette. We only had around 110 cars attend, but then there is not a lot of Vettes here anyway so thats not a bad roll up, some even...

Thaks John, The diagrams are the same as my GM manual for the 91. Its the actual switch I cant find, it just seems to be missing or changed. Dont suppose you know what color the wires are coming out of the switch? Cheers Mate.:beer

Hi Guys, need help. I have an intermittent no crank at start up. I have a 1991 ZR1. I know about the clutch start switch, but it seems that when it was converted to right hand drive the switch has been changed. I just cannot find the switch as described in the manuals. The car will clutch start...

conversions left to right Hi Guys, I've been a member here for years, but haven't been on for a while and yes another Queenslander. We actually have a very active club here. Actually three clubs here. QLD Corvette Club - Home Page Corvettes Down Under Car Club Australian Chevrolet and Corvette...

Yeh, Me Too I have a 91 ZR1 also and I drive it when ever I get the chance. Its a great motocross car, its under 13 seconds down the quarter mile, and handles every bit as well as any C5. Sure its old technology, but I wouldnt swap it for anything less than a new Grandsport or a ZR1, and over...

Hi All ,has been a while since I post anything here, however a mate took this short video at easter this year at our National Convention. The old girl sounds great, shame I really never get to hear it as I'am always inside. I enjoyed it, hope you do. Cheers Ern. :lou‪Ernbuild C4 Corvette ZR1...

Thanks Hib, I have the manuals so will give it a go.:beer

When I turn on the aircon on my91 zr1 the engine idle is not increasing and if I roll to a stop at lights or such engine will stall. Is there some sort of pressure switch on the coolant line that is supposed to do this? :hb:beer Also can you buy the clutch assembly only for the aircon unit as...

Thanks Hib, You have warned me about that before, And it doesnt happen often, just me being slow to change the gears. Not as fast with the reaction time as I used to be. cheers Ern.:beer

Thanks guys, I actually wasnt going to remove the butterflies, just prop them open 'so to speak'. I dont want to take them out altogether. I do a bit of drag racing and gymkana events with the car nowand although a bit of extra power may be OK, that wasnt the reason to have them permanently...

what will happen if? If you were to remove or have the secondry port butterflies open all the time , what would be the result, and would it do any damage to the engine in any way ? Reason I ask is I replaced the secondry port solenoid only six months ago and has for some reason stopped working...

updating some new pics :beer

Certainly is ole mate, couldnt drive it out here if it wasnt.. Real pain in the butt the powers that be out here wont let us leave it LHD until they are 30 years old. Cheers Ernie:beer
