    Worked VZ Exec!

    sorry to say not a fan. shift lights in autos combined with chev badges on a alloytec especially = not good

    VZ V6 Exhaust + Extractors

    i'd be happy with all noise and no go.... haha at the end of the day an alloytec stands no chance against a lot of cars on the road, so at least make it sound alright and look good

    VZ V6 Exhaust + Extractors

    and what about for 175 engines? single 2 1/2" still want to hear what a single 2 1/2" sounds like on an alloytec

    ESP failure warning

    Thanks guys, took it to Holden today, it was the sensor in the steering column. I really hate ESP but I'm sure one day it will get me out of a sticky situation. Thanks again and i hope your ESP issues disappear one day hingo

    ESP failure warning

    Hi Guys, Just had my local mechanic replace my rack and pinion and service my '04 VZ Acclaim. Now I am getting an ESP Failure error messages, the mechanic plugged it into his aftermarket TECH2 thing and couldn't find any faults... Has anyone else had a similar problem or know what may...

    VZ s pack or BF xr6?

    Im pretty sure they do.. My opinion... If you want a 6, a ford has a better engine. However a lot of things seem to go wrong with ford electrical gear.. fans, a/c, cruise, HIM module playing up. Holdens... well alloytecs are pretty gutless, HOWEVER as a whole the VZ is a nice package...

    5W-30 oil for alloytec?

    Hi Guys, Today i bought some Castrol Edge sport 5w-30 for my 175 alloytec as well as a ryco oild filter(only brand i could find). Now before i put this into my car, i feel it might be worth asking... even though it says to use 10W-30 is 5W-30 going to be fine? or should i look for another...

    exec vs acclaim

    one good thing about the acclaim is "legally" you can go to 8" wide wheels because the stockies are 7" one bad thing about the acclaim is side airbags... i'm one of those people who likes less features because then less things can go wrong. i guess i might feel differently if i ever get...

    anyone got a modified crewman!

    looking to see if anyone here has done up a crewman. I've heard lowering them is a pain but can be done. Would be cool to see a crewman dumped, on big whees.

    v6>v8 conversion

    another option is to buy a written off VZ with an 8 in it, and put all the things you need from the v8 into your car and then sell off all the parts you dont need as well as the engine, box, ecu, harness from your current car. I've thought about it many times... just seems like a lot of hard...

    Bodykits and driving lights.

    I'm pretty sure the VZ monaro front bar wont fit due to the VZ monaro keeping the same shape head lights as the VT/VX.

    what parts need replacing after boosting?

    hi guys, I'm looking at going forced induction on my VZ (probably twin turbo) and I have heard these set-ups can get up to around 300rwkw... what needs to be changed on the car to handle this power? gearbox? (4sp auto) diff? universal joints? Cheers, Adam

    please help me decide on wheels.

    The wheels are for a black vz acclaim, ride height will be determined after the wheels go on.. I want as low as I can go without having to go 1kp/h over speed humps and risking slapping the exhaust on bumpy roads. Also does anyone reccomend a really good suspension place in melbourne?

    please help me decide on wheels.

    I would like to thank LS1Chubby for taking such a good photo of his old SV6... haha. so current options for my black acclaim are: 19" siggys 20" verde madonna - chrome 20" verde madonna - black or any other suggestions? thanks, adam

    3.46 or 3.73 diff gears

    also what size wheels are you running? if you're on 15's or 16's go 3.46 (auto) if you're going to be running 19's or 20's go 3.73 (auto). also be careful if you spend most of your time on freeway's, as more diff gears in a manual a lot of the guys on here would have a better idea than me.

    Extra 12 volt power outlets in the dash

    to get to the wires i think you'll have to remove parts of the centre console (from console to dash, including shifter) and then behind the small compartment at the bottom of the dash you will see wires hanging down, they are not attached to a cigarette lighter plug, so its just the power/earth...

    ABS fault

    i sometimes get random computer errors, like ABS failure or ESP failure at random times then it just dissapears... very random... god i wish i could have a car that looked like a VZ but had a carbied engine with no computer modules for anything! if you are worried see Holden, from memory ABS...

    CPR6 manifolds

    I'm with sleeper6, to get the power from that manifold you would need the manifold itself ($2700) and a tune ($1000) so for $3700 you can have that or for $5500 you can have a raptor supercharger bolted on.... which includes a tune, and will get you a heap more power and torque.

    Fully synthetic oil in Alloytec?

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of running Amsoil in my vz acclaim, and was wondering if there were any down sides of using a fully synthetic oil in alloytec's. Also would i still be using the same weight oil as a mineral oil? Thanks

    Supercharged and painted!

    hey mate, love the bonnet, and the colour looks so good. I love the i6 engines too. any more plans for it? do you get any noise out of the front end? only thing that turned me off buying another ford is the noises that can come out of them.

    One Tonner VZ S Modifications...

    from what I've read the exhaust will have a joining pipe down near the mufflers to make sure flow is always equalised all the way through the system. How much do you want to spend on the car? Diff gears will help - 3.45's if you arent getting very big wheels and you do a fair bit of...

    exhaust for a vz with a 175 alloytec

    yes i know this subject has been asked over and over and over again... but.... can someone reccomend an exhaust for me? I have a 175 alloytec (not sure if the 190's require much different, in terms of exhaust) What I'm mainly after is sound, however any increase in power would be welcome...

    Passenger side parker light not working

    Lately I've noticed that my passenger light has been yellow compared to my drivers side, found that it was my passenger side parker bulb (not the H1's or H4's) and I just changed the bulbs all round and still no luck. I've recently had a aftermarket headunit installed, could this have caused...

    Has anyone changed their diff gears?

    i've got a vz acclaim with the 3.08 diff ratio, and i got a quote today to change to 3.7's and the guy said it would be close to $2000, due to the rubber donut flange mount... or something like that haha and that they have to use new genuine holden parts. just wondering if anyone has had 3.08s...
