    Hi Bob, This one here is an E6 350, it was originally a 12spd Mack box but changed out for an 18spd Mack box somewhere along the way. They come out with an E7 300 or 400 in them in the later ones but not V8. As for the E9s being in NZ yeah they are here getting fue and far between now but they are still about. This was the last V8 built in NZ, in 1999 and was a 610hp.

    Thanks mate, yeah there is a lot of differences. I think these were the first macks in NZ to have the air cleaner under the bonnet, everything else was external.

    Hi There, Yeah they do look very unusual, they were only built for 2 years as well. So sort of rare as such here in NZ but not everyone's cup of tea. Here is a couple of photos of the Interior before i pulled it all apart.

    Thanks rubber duck, They are unique to New Zealand, they only built 52 inbetween the end of the R series and the start of the right hand drive CH. They are R Series chassis and running gear, with a MC set back front axle, MK2 Superliner cab, NZ designed and built bonnet, an Ultraliner centre part of the grill and an Australian Valueliner front bumper.

    Hey Paul, I was cringing when I was deciding whether to do it or not, but I found it fairly easy the rust only started from the cross member from behind the cab so that was a bonus. Yeah the cabs a galv one being a MK2 Superliner cab so no rust at all that I can see. cheers keegan

    Hi Everyone, I'm rebuilding a NZ built Mack RB688RST, so ill share some photos of what Ive done so far on the journey. I done the camel back bushes and elephants feet which were all original, so they done pretty good for 33 years and 1.5mil kms. Then i split the chassis rails and attacked the chassis heave, it wasn't bad but at least now i don't need to worry about it now. Cheers

    Hi All, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from New Zealand. I'm going to replace the bushes on my 34K Camelback during the Christmas holidays and I'm wondering if any one had the torque setting for the U bolts? Ive been looking everywhere and cant find anything. Kind Regards Keegan Hewlett

    Hi paul and bob, I’ll check the return side in the weekend thanks, it’s getting to be abit of a pain in the ass when it won’t fire straight up the next morning. Yeah its a 2 valve hasn’t got the angled rocker covers and looks identical to my old E6 320 that was 20 years older. We are a little bit further south so we obviously got the last of the 2 valves being at the end of the chain 😂😂

    Hi All, Im new on the page but have had looks at it over the years. I've recently brought a 1990 Mack RB688RST NZ model, its got a E6 350 2 valve in it and it keeps draining the fuel back to tank over night. I've attached a few photos of it and the fuel system, It has 2 primer pumps on it, 1 in behind the primary fuel filter which I've replaced the copper washer under it and the oring and it was good and now its starting to drain back over night again. Has anyone else had the same sort of problem in the past?? any help wou;d be much appreciated. Kind Regards
