You my friend are a champion! With abit of tunning with the dizzy, it now starts 1st go and stays running! It sounds like it might need abit of a tune up but it's great to see the old girl running. Thanks again, l owe you a case!

Yeah, fuse and relay is fine, l've also replaced all the fuse's and checked all relays. can't get it running to check the fuel pump white it's running but when the ignition is turned "on" l can't hear anything, although as stated before, there is fuel in the fuel rail. I am yet to change the...

Well it doesn't sound like the fuel pump is priming. On my VS you can quite easy hear the fuel pump when the key is turned to "on", where as l can't hear a thing on the vk. However when we take off the plug/screw on the end of the fuel rail, fuel does come out. Can a faulty fuel pump cause the...

Thanks mate, l'll check all that now!

Hey guys, l bought a vk 3.3 efi as a daily driver and am having problems starting it. It sounds like it lacking fuel. I've replaced the leads and spark plugs for good measure but unfortunately thats not it. We have been able to get it started and it will cut out after about 30 seconds to 1...

"These memcals may not be suitable for engines where internal modifications have been made. Please contact the seller before purchasing." I've got a feeling this guy just dumps the same image onto all his memcals if he can't modify it to allow for internal mods. Dr Bob can, for my chip l'm...

The thing is guys, each and every one of us could have a completely different mod. Thats why these plug and play chips simply don't work well. Dr Bob on the other hand takes into consideration everything you've done to your car and produces a chip tailored to your car. One of my chips is...

Well, depending on how much you want to spend, a turbo setup would be best but this is also the most expensive option. Next, a CRS style blower would give you enough power to play around with if you did abit of head work but l'd rather keep it NA and rebuild the motor. This will give you the...

Love the VN's.. GRP A kit looks awsome with the rims!!

Essentially its an Exec front bar with the ss lip and fog lamp inserts with a manta grille.

...and guards. Thats about it though.

Yeah, that VP is tough. Sounds amazing... I should settle where l sit on the whole T wing situation, although on some cars they look alright, l would never put one on a car that l owned. To me they stick out and "weigh" (in terms of looks) the ass of the car down too much. But as l said before...

Well said... On the right car a t wing can look great just aslong as its not too high. If you want to do it, it's your car and no one else's.

Its a six unfortunately(SLI51X = SLY SIX, would be nice to have an 8 tho :D)... Thanks, can't wait to see what it does in terms of performance tho!

Hey guys.. got around to finishing up on afew things. My mafless conversion is only about 2 weeks away from being done, plus my manifold has been finished so l can't wait to fit it all. I quickly snapped a photo of the manifold for you all to preview, l'll take better ones once its on the car...

So excited to get my plates! Finally have got them on the car and quite like the dark green "style" instead of the black style l was thinking of getting. I finally have all the parts l need to get rid of the maf sensor so expect to see an update soon. Anyway, here's some photos l recently took...

I quite like it, although l'd change the rims. Last l heard he was looking at some engine work.

I second that! I wish l bought A VK 5L instead of the VS l have now. I would have done the interior, sprayed it sky blue, put 19"S or 20" on it and put in a cam and abit of an exhuast and it would have been done. The Vk's are damm nice machines...

Another update. I've just got all the parts l need to fit the VR ecu to get rid of the MAF sensor, this will allow us to make and install a manifold my old man and l want to create. Also, l've ordered some new plates, SLI-51X which can been seen below. Heres some new pics too: Cheers guys.

none at all... Thats the same one as l bought, but l'd recomend this one as its from an australian dealer: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-USB-TO-SERIAL-RS232-DB25-DB9-ADAPTER-CONVERTER_W0QQitemZ9737470053QQcategoryZ31495QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or...

I doubt you'll be able to find the wirring diagram for the usb cable but grab yourself a vr manual and it will list the pin layout for your car. Then, once you've esentially have produced a serial (RS232) cable, you can then go on to find a wirring diagram for the serial to usb cable. I was...

VS, similar to the rims found on the VS grange.

Think of it this way, the memcal is the operating system and the ecu is like the rest of the computer.

The memcals can be tuned to suit the application. We even have a resident that does 'em: Doctor Bob

18" Starcorp impuls... wish l had the money for 19"s!

Wow, never seen a 7 door commodore before! Anyway, the front and rear are the same as any other VS-VR commodore so a front bar from a senator or clubsport, even if you grab yourself a calais front bar or SS (which has the skirting below). The same can be said for the rear bar, it can be...

Double D's! Old photo of the car, when the tip was cleaner :D!

I'm guessing Wollongong :D

Damm.. car looks straight as in the last three photos! Your on the right track with tinting your tail lights, looks much better imo. All you need now is some clear side indicators/ 2.5" exhuast and you'll have yourself a very nice ride! Anyway, keep up the great work!

I know this is knida off topic, but when it comes to oils, some just don't cut it. Awhile ago, SC mag did a write up on all different motor oils and the difference a high end oil (Royal Purple for example) did in the way of a protective coating as opposed to your average castrol product was amazing.

I actually agree with Troy. This thread could just confirm for some people the fact that other people do it so why can't they. Also, isn't this just giving people more ideas of what they can do to "muck around"?

Actually, l believe its the manta as the manta grille is organsied under HBD in the holden catalogue.

Thats why l didn't bother. The y piece is the same diameter as the paccies so to me theres no need to change it.

Welcome to the problem l've been facing for 2 years. Would be nice to see if someone did make them, my exhuast shop said they would give it a go but there was no off the shelf items.

Heres a small vid (257kb) of mine for comparison: http://users.bigpond.net.au/quadfour/commodore/myvs.avi Its only idling.. mods at that time were just a bigger resonator, 2.5" system and a hi-flow cat. Sounds better now with the extractors. edit: my god, that was back when l had the jap...

Problem is, that its illegal and if the EPA find out, your in for a BIG (and l mean BIG) fine!

Ecotec's naturally build up oil deposits in the plenum chamber. I clean mine out every so often, keeping it nice and shiny!

I know!! to Next time my car goes in for a touch up, l'm going to get them lightly sprayed over with botanica mica.

19/M/Wollongong!!!
