Just like to say that my VT is running absolutely mint... no problems whatsoever in the 2 years of our bio-kinda-mechnical partnership - bordering on intimate - Holdens are your freind, so be kind... I guess i thought that the good old positive 'My car runs mint - Woohoo' routine was needed...

Had the same prob... BUT it took me about 3 months to solve and do i feel like an idiot!! I had a leaky bottle of injector cleaner in my glovebox :bang:

the security code is usually written on top of the stereo... but you have to remove it to see it... iv'e replaced 6 standard units in VT commy's and each one had the code on top...

It's **** easy... pull the dash apart... no it's not hard at all, just time consuming... you'll find a thread on here somewhere. I had the standard double din unit... a scored a plastic pocket to take up the space as i added a single din unit, and screwed into the existing cage..easy. And put...

Iv'e got the same prob... but here in NZ i can get a brandnew rack for NZ500.00.. but likely to leak again one day... or for NZ420.00 i can get a reco'd one where they polish the bore surface as the original was fairly rough resulting in the leaking and fit all new parts... sounz like the better...

Out of interest... is there some sort of block on the file?? i've downloaded it on the work computer... but it won't let me print it or save it to disc... not much use to me at work, can't get the commy up the stairs! :)

Well the thing that completely ****ed me was this... i started my installation on the driverside rear door... the wires from the speakers to the connector were all the same colour... but the colours were completely different on the inside of the car... so i removed the grommet/plug, found they...

Just installed components in all my doors in my VT... the grommets do just pop out, a couple i had to get a flathead to pop em' out.. then i carefully drilled a whole thru the plastic and threaded my speaker wires thru and popped em' back in... it dosen't hurt to swear loudly while doing this.

One or both of your hubs may be not quite in line...try getting the discs machined on the car as this will enable the disc to match what ever the hub is doing... had the same problem in 2 of my skylines and a 300zx...

I can get a second hand but guaranteed straight subframe for NZ300.00 from the local wrecker... just wish i had have noticed this before lowering the car.. had everything off then :bang: It looks really easy to change, just didn't wanna rip the engine out to do it.. i think considering how...

Well, don't i feel like a dick then :bang: ... shouldv'e read my instructions... i see i can take the cover off the crossover (JBL P650C Power Series) and change it to -3db... that's what i'm doing when i get home! :w00t:

Hi all... Iv'e got pretty decent gear in my VT now, but still not happy with the sound.. i'm finding there is way too much tweeter action... i have the treble turned to half on the head unit, and have customised the equalizer to have less trebel too... I'm also finding that if i turn off the...
