    Vy Ecotec lsd upgrade

    Hey guys, So I managed to get my hands on an m80 lsd center that I have been told needs to be rebuilt. I know you can machine the cones and shim it up but it won’t last very long. I also found some Borg Warner 31 spline cones and was wondering if I could use them as a direct replacement for my...

    Looking for s pack fog light inserts

    Hey guys, I got a s pack bumper from the wreckers for my car and it had only one fog light insert. I’m not really interested in putting in fog lights unless all models had the wiring in place and all it takes is to plug them into the harness and put in a fuse/relay. If it isn’t that easy I need...

    Wierd central locking issue

    Ok I don’t know how to close a thread or to label it as solved or something but I figured it out myself the issue it was the actual lock knob on the interior was not getting pushed far enough by the mechanism causing the shock of closing the door to cause the mechanism to register it as closed...

    Wierd central locking issue

    This seems accurate enough. Seems like I am the only one on the forum that isn’t old enough to remember peter brock being alive.

    Vy Ecotec ecu reset and code reading

    So, I have an obdII scanner and it did not work on my series 2 auto sedan and after digging around the forum I found it uses obdI/ALDL. Is there some way I can not have to spend 80 on eBay for one or is it worth the investment. And is there somebody in vic that had the cable and software who is...

    Cold air intake loss of power on Ecotec

    How would one go about this? I assume you are talking about resetting the pcm memory as it has learnt to run optimally with the regular intake therefore cannot a just to the new intake. Would I be correct?

    Wierd central locking issue

    Yeah I have asked in a couple of my posts where I need to be posting because I am younger then most of you and didn’t grow up using forums and don’t really understand them. But nobody has corrected me or mentioned anything so I have just continued as I was.

    Cold air intake loss of power on Ecotec

    So recently I was curious about a cold air intake for my vy Ecotec and I thought that I would make a makeshift one to see if the gains will be worth it. So I cut out a portion of the stock air Boxster the bottom facing towards the headlight and cut a small section of non structural steel behind...

    Wierd central locking issue

    Excuse my ignorance but I did look around for a bit for an answer but couldent get it. I have an obdII scanner but I can’t scan the car. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the car isn’t obdII compatible and you can only use holdens tech 2 scanner, but I have also read that you can get the...

    Wierd central locking issue

    Don’t know how to close a thread but this b**** of a car decides that it wants to be Stop doing it and behave immediately after posting and is now working flawlessly and the issue of no accessory power was because I chose a shitty earth when wiring. I’m currently trying to fix dangerously low...

    Wierd central locking issue

    So this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen and just caused me to have to break into my own car. I have been having some issues with the central locking and key seeming a little strange sometimes taking a few presses to open and sometimes locking itself. I have now concluded that the car...

    Vy lsd question

    Thanks for the reply mate! And yeah all I needed to know was that they are all the same m80. Mine is the 3 bolt which seems to be more common. In the wet i can drift around no problems by weight transfer either by feinting in or just going hard into a turn in first or seccond and stab the...
