I am the same. Cars run fine, best things in the world. When they play up, I call them every name under the sun, lol. Good luck with your issues. It can be frustrating at times.

7 year old car should have around 140,000km. It's been driven less than the average driver. Make sure it's mechanically sound, and it will be okay. Take oil cap off and see if you can see the inside the rocker cover. If it isn't badly varnished, or no sludge. That's a fair indication the oil has...

I don't believe they are worth that much, but there are people out there who are paying that much for them. Best of luck to your mate.

General rule of thumb is you can't put an engine that is older than the car into the car. It has to be current age, or newer because of emission requirements. Once upon a time it could be done if you went to 100%LPG, but that was a long time ago. Better off calling an engineer that will be...

How about just do your engines how you have been taught, or always have done? So much discussion on something that everyone will have different opinions on.

This is why I stopped using K&N filters years ago. Problem is, if you don't oil them enough then they don't filter properly, and if you overoil, you then experience this kind of issue. If you put yours in straight from purchase, it should have been oiled correctly in the factory. How do K&N...

To teach a kid how to get a feel for a car, learn how to control the car. Yes even put the car into an oversteer, and understeer, and other sorts of conditions of a car loosing traction or control, and teach the kid how to get the car into control the car in these situations or what to do...

I would go for the S4 over Sony Z as S4 has a 1.9Ghz Quad Core processor, and it's impressive 2GB RAM. Comes with 4.2 Android. Sony Z comes with 4.1, and is only 1.5GHz quad core. If you have a habit of dropping phones in water, then maybe the Sony Z is the one to get. Either way, I think you...

What happened?

I didn't do anything to my car today.

Not like they use **** oil to allow proper run in, so no need to change oil at 1000km, (wouldn't hurt though), but I would still do an oil change around the 2000-3000km mark.

If you have leaking valves, and leaking rings. This would cause your fuel consumption to be higher. Hopefully with your new engine you will have better fuel consumption, well after the first 5000km. Good luck with it, it's good they are replacing your engine.

How long since last oil filter and oil change? What does the gauge show at 3000rpm, and 4000rpm, it should be over 60psi by 4000-5000rpm. I wouldn't be worrying too much, how long have you been driving around without knowing this? Idling, 20PSI sounds about normal. 2000rpm, 40 probably sounds...

In relation to what matdahler said. Have you touching the brake pedal just enough to engage the pads whilst driving? Also try pulling handbrake lever up to first knotch, (not all of the way lol) to see if maybe it could be something loose inside your rear disc handbrake drum assembly. Even...

This video is the aftermath of what happened. Before this the dude was taking swings at a Police officer, and one connected with the Police Officer's face. Quite simple, don't mess with the Police, do as your told, don't go restraining, or resisting arrest. The actual worse part was those two...

I looked at my car today.

Did nothing today.

I took it as that from your reply to my first post.

So what you are saying is, you think it is okay to just sit in the right hand lane at all times just in case you need to over take a slower car? Stuff any faster cars, they can overtake you on the left hand side? Now I know why they brought laws in that it is illegal to sit in the right hand...

Simple rule, left lane for travelling, and right lane for over taking. That's it, no ifs or buts. If someone who decides to be a non logical twit and just drive in the right hand lane, and even have the audacity to not move for faster cars approaching from behind, then they need a paddlin'. I...

Is it just me, or are these road raging idiots becoming more of a problem on a weekly basis? That's bad when people are that violent and that much of a loose unit they are prepared to try and ram you off the road, follow you home whatever because you may have upset them whilst they are driving...

Depends what the tuner uses. There are two main programs they use, one just edits pretty much what comes with the PCM or the other one it completely rewrites the flash to it's own formatting. Either way, the original stock Flash can be backed up, and put back on at any time.

IAC valves cost about $40 give or take $10. Wouldn't really damage the engine, but it must be pain in the backside if it stalls or stutters every now and then.

IAC valve by the sounds of it. Does it start with no accelerator pressed when the car is warmed up?

If it is just being serviced, you would be fine, but if drive train warranty claims, or they want to do an PCM flash update, then you may have a problem. It is a grey area, you could ask, but you would probably be given an answer that will still leave you walking away undecided. Speak with your...

A lot of buffing with a sort of cutting compound might help you. Might pay to see a car detailer in your town to see what they can offer.

I think if you had done the second gearbox that would have been a good sign to get the third one built and strengthened as obviously your stock boxes can't handle the power you have got. Or go to a manual.

Seriously how much lower do you want the car? I think it's too low as it is? :p Nice tidy car by the way. I didn't even notice what badges were on it. 20's actually suit it.

By the way, I have been following this thread since the beginning. KAL - Awesome car, the engine bay looks sweet as, and even underneath looks amazing dude. Well done. You better buy a big trophy cabinet, you are going to need it.

Questions like these that make you wonder why there are anti-hoon laws. End of the day a car is faster then yours, do you think that car is the fastest car out there? Nope, so you spend money to beat him, then someone else comes along with a faster car, and when does it...

Oh crap, I just realised you didn't end up buying the car lol.

150,000km for a LS1 is nothing. As said look at condition of car, I have seen cars worse condition at 120,000km then cars that have done over 200,000km. Depends on what life they have had. $23,500 for a VY Calais? If the car has a stroker in it and the engine is all good, then yeah worth...

Definitely proven that having a thermostat in keeps the engine/coolant cooler. If at least, can just knock the guts of the thermostat out so there is still a restriction there. No thermostat in at all, will causing overheating problems.

I have a spider in my passenger's side mirror and I can't get rid of it, high pressure water in behind of it, hosed water. The bugger won't come out, he must be hanging on for dear life when I try flushing him out. Bug spray it may have to be, I just hope it doesn't affect paint.

Do you have any detailers in your area or trimming businesses? There are leather treatments for certain coloured leathers. I don't know how you would go mixing a black dye with a brown dyed leather. The end result would end up a very very dark brown that almost looks black. I don't think you...

Thanks everyone. By the way it's not my car, I am posting on a mate's behalf.

Thanks, it's much appreciated. I am sorry to hear about your mate's car. Kind Regards, Jim

I am posting this on behalf of the owner. Please, if this car is seen or you do see it please contact the number in the flyer. It was seen driving along Milperra Road yesterday and Henry Lawson Drive this morning. Thanks,

Hi All, As the title asks, will a towbar from an IRS VQ Statesman fit an IRS VP Calias? Thanks,

I think $80 is a reasonable price. Jax has to pay their bills and wages too.
