    Driveshaft options.

    The kids picked up another complete driveshaft today. It seems to be about 1/2" too long on the front shaft. Will take it into a shop tomorrow & have the rear shafts swapped over.

    Driveshaft options.

    I'm just trying to help out a kid who broke down out the front of my house on saturday night. He has been quoted $600 to replace the rear shaft. Sounds uber expensive for 2" of tube! I realise the front shaft will be different sizes depending on which gearbox/trans is fitted, but the center...

    Driveshaft options.

    Hi guys. Have a manual VZ 6 commodore with a broken/sheared driveshaft. It has sheared between the center bearing & the diff. What options are available? Is the rear shaft common on all models? TIA

    Cracking VN ECU

    No, it's a streeter. The simple solution would be to wire in a manual switch. But i'm not going to rely on the mrs turning the fans on manually.

    Cracking VN ECU

    G'day. Is it possible to change the thermo fan trigger point on a VN ECU (V8)? I need the thermo to cut in earlier than stock. If so, any idea who can do this? Thanks.

    False starts.

    I had thought that. But if i turn the key on & prime the system it should eliminate that.

    False starts.

    On the second start it always comes up as Systems check OK.

    False starts.

    G'day, in the morning when i start the car it barely runs, or seems like it's just winding over on the starter & not firing on all cylinders. Turn the key off, restart & it runs sweet. Any suggestions? Alloytec in our '06 Calais.

    Bouncing tacho needle.

    I noticed this today. When decelerating the tacho needle falls then bounces at approx 1000 - 1250 rpm. This seems to be common when driven over 80kph. When slowing down to a stop from 60kph, i can almost feel the car surging/stopping, but it's only 250rpm & i might be imagining it. Any...

    Bent simmons rim, easily fixable?

    +1 for Whitehorse! :) I didn't want to say their name. Now it's going to take me 2yrs to get my new bands made. lol

    Bent simmons rim, easily fixable?

    Even if the band could be rolled straight, the gutter rash isnt going to buff out. You need to weigh up the cost of repair vs replace. PM me if you need a supplier.

    Rear wheel bearings. Drum - disc.

    So the disc bearing cones are longer than the drum ones? If that's the case, i won't just buy new cones, i will buy the complete bearing assemblies. Common sence. :) The car was drum rear. We fitted VL discs to the drum braked housing (with drum axles) & ended up with the endfloat. Is the...

    Rear wheel bearings. Drum - disc.

    Can anyone tell me if the wheel bearing cups are different from drums to discs? We've put discs on & have about 8mm endfloat on both axles. Thanks.

    Vz SV6 paddle shifters?

    The only time i use them is for highway driving. Come to overtake.... click downshift twice..... sink the slipper...... happy days! Seems to counteract the inbuilt problem of the transmission trying to figure out which gear you actually want.

    VZ Calais or Berlina

    The Calais would be my pick..... but i'm biased. Traditionally the Calais is a lot more car for not a lot extra coin.

    Revs take too long to drop between gears.

    Hoists cost about as much as a decent set of rims these day, except they fit more cars. Linky to a fix?, or am i stuck with this issue?

    Revs take too long to drop between gears.

    G'day all, I've recently purchased a VU '02 ute with V6 Getrag. I replaced the clutch [ solid flywheel] & gearbox. The problem i have, that when changing thru the gears, the engine revs wont drop for about 2 seconds. I've checked the throttle return spring for binding & lubricated...
