Fixed. Wow, it's been a long time.

ITEM: Custom Subwoofer Enclosure (2x 12" Subwoofers - Sealed). What we have here, is a custom-designed SQ (Sound Quality) subwoofer enclosure. Designed by the masters at "Alberts Car Stereo", this subwoofer enclosure is MDF and fibreglass, and was perfectly moulded to the driver's-side panel...

SOLD! Car only, I still have all the audio gear and will now sell seperately.

This is still for sale.... c'mon people, the price I am asking is a discounted price on the car audio equipment alone! This is a top stereo with a free car and name-brand mods. Anyone interested?

Oh, and the "custom front bar/bumper" I had in the for sale section a while ago is still not sold, so as a bonus, you get that as well.... if you want it.

ITEM: Holden VR Commodore Sedan (4sp Auto V6) - Modified somewhat! LOCATION: North of the River, Perth, W.A. YEAR: 1994 (December '93 Build) SERIES: VR BADGE: Badgeless, but once (a long time ago) said Executive ENGINE: 3.8L EFI V6 TRANSMISSION: Automatic 4speed with CV8 Oil...

How very strange... ah well... now I am going to have to make it work with an aftermarket part or something... or perhaps... I can just let it go lol

That would be both insane and stupid if they don't have that. Insane because its both useful and even my LH Torana had a fuel-low warning light. Stupid because the instrument cluster has a spot for it. The exact lighting is: Battery, ABS OFF, Fuel, Engine, Oil, Handbrake, Left Signal, ((P))...

Thanks for the info... might have to go shopping. To answer "sircruisealotVS", yes - I touched the radiator cap, and didn't check the fan... oops. Further note: A further complicating issue with this... I have had a trans upgrade and am running a trans oil cooler for it. Unfortunately the...

You are correct in part... the "chime" is not fitted to the car, I understand that. But from factory there is a globe in the red coloured fuel pump location in the cluster.... but at no point does this come on... ever. Which is not normal. My previous Holden from 1974 had this - so it should be...

Just wondering if anyone can assist me with diagnosing a potential issue with my cooling system. Symptoms: 1) After 15 minutes from cold, the temp guage shows almost on red (hot) 2) Randomly, when idle or driving into a headwind, the guage will reduce back to half... then may rise up to hot...

Can someone please give me some advice on this? I am fairly certain that in the last 8 years I have owned this car, this light has never worked, but now I am getting picky and want it fixed. Being a "poverty" pack there is no fancy digital display or warning chimes, quite simply light is...

Well... I don't want to put a min on it because I don't want to scare anyone off... let's just say it cost me $480.00 to get made. And your other question... no... not painted, not even sanded back/prepped.

I still have this.... now open to offers

I am happy for you. I went rhough the process of converting my auto VR S1 V6 to a manual. $2500.00 worth of parts and labour... nearing the end of the install they couldn't get the speedo sensor working and they "misplaced" the modified wiring harness to get the error codes cleared etc. My car...

Bits? A few questions: - Was this an auto or manual??? does it have the wiring harness? - Does it have those felt bits on the inside of the windows (in doors)? - Did it have electric Windows??? have you still got the harness for them? Might like some bits.

Bull bar? ummm... this thing has openings that could swallow whatever you'd hit with a bullbar. You'd need mesh and an electric fence to keep possums from nesting in there. But seriously... does that mean your interested? is anyone else interested? This is still for sale... and still getting...

To be honest - I'd have to agree with those that say Pedders are simply rebadged Monroe shocks and stuff. I drove in a car fitted with a full kit from Pedders and I wasn't that impressed. I have a 35mm Whiteline sway bar up front, a 25mm in the back, a top-of-strut brace, a new adjustable...

Anyone???? Make me an offer - seriously, I don't need this thing anymore - but I do need to get it out of my house.

Description: Custom Front Bar for VR/VS. This thing has to move from my back yard soon (wife is getting annoyed with it), any offers? Please note, due to the size of this thing it may be costly and troublesome to arrange shipping - so I would prefer to sell this on locally (Perth W.A.)...

My money-pit... Thought I may as well add some pics of my system in here. Its alright I guess... I need more clarity though. This is my fully-active sound-quality project - I am not after massive "doof", although I do achieve 131.1dB on Term @ 44Hz while playing music! Here we have...

I was asked to put this in the how-to section by some poeple on the site... apparently its useful. You can see the post from which it originated at: Post #40029. Here are the instructions; These can be used to help you: a) not break the plastic when removing the dash, b) replace the...

Additional: This was fixed in several cases by replacing the tail-lights with aftermarket ones. Obviously a failed seal there - this is quite common as these cars are getting quite old and weathered now.

Lets see.... $1400- should see you getting a nice set of DBA Gold Slotted/Cross-Drilled rotors all round, plus some good-ish Ferodo or Bendix pads $2600- should have you riding on some nicer suspension. This price varies on your needs and brands, but if you don't go overboard that should...

The fronts are meant to be 6", but you can squeeze some nice 6.5" speakers in there. And yeah, looking at the details you gave me, you have a LOT of stuff to think about. Such as: 1. The sound you get will only ever be as good as the source unit you have. 2. Realistically it doesn't...

Could be a similar issue to me. I am now noticing that when I step on it, it revs up a bit, and sounds angry... but seems to develop no power anymore. At 80km/h doing 1500rpm if you punch the accellerator beyond the magical 80% it drops back to third, revs up to about 3500rpm, labours for a...

I found that the mandrel bend and smooth finish of my stainless intake pipe increased the airflow considerably. The pod on the end and the over-size custom TB deliver a fair amount of extra air, which makes the throttle response much better. I also find that the original turbulence-causing...

Hi all, just wondering if it is possible to change over the shifter knob on a VR Auto. I have seen a couple of posts in the forum where people have used VT auto shifters by removing the old stick and replacing the whole thing, and I know I have the option of getting a shifter from the likes of...

Most places these days will usually replace a few springs, a couple of valves and swap out a bunch of solenoids... that is what a shift kit is. These are perfectly fine and will generally not cause too much more wear than normal so long as the parts used are good quality, and you have the heat...

I've recently done this and it works a charm, what you have to do is.... 1. When taking the original steering wheel off you need to have made note of the approx 1" tab that is attached to the original steering wheel, located on the right-hand side. If you look carefully, there are a couple...

Hi all, I need some help in finding a way to smooth over my cars performance a little. Unfortunately a LOT has happened to my car outside of my control and now I have no idea what bits at fault. Basically after a mechanics botched attempt at a manual T5 conversion - I ended up with an auto...

Hey there - I just fixed mine. Search for my howto on removing a VR Dash (so you don't break the clips = Here) and remove the grey surround. You can then remove the plugs from the back of the; 1. Headlight/Interior Light on the right, 2. Demister 3. AC 4. Hazard The whole thing now comes...

Ouch - Warning!!! As the title states... big ouchies people, I am not sure what the forum rules are in regards to warning people away from a certain company - but wow... stay the hell away from Walliston Wreckers people. As you can see from my post, in very early December 2004 I had the car...

Help please - does anyone have any contact info for STA (Supercharger Technology Australia) formerly (www.sta.net.au) - they used to have some pretty nice supercharger kits for a lot less than companies like CAPA... and I'd really like to speak to them about stuff for my car (VR V6) If anyone...

If only, I myself have actually spoken toHolden about this, and it's all bad... aside from engine mounts, gearbox adaptor plates (if you don't use the 6-speed SV6 box), different tail-shaft length, and COMPLETELY re-wiring the entire car, as the wiring harnesses are completely incompatable...

oh, and don;t forget... a) Upgrade brakes and pads, DBA Gold rotors and Bendix Ultimate pads work well, and fitted is still quite cheap. Forget braided brake lines, multi-spot calipers etc though, you'll never need them. b) Suspension is a must, the VRs understeer badly, and if you tweak...

Phantom - you can make a car sound any way you like via the correct selection of exhaust components etc. As for cheap mods ... let me ask you a couple of questions and give you a couple of suggestions. More suggestions await once you answer my questions :) Q1: Is this a V8 or a V6? Q2: Is...

Okay gearbox is in... need to do a rewire as its not talking properly via the new wiring harness. Mod being done by mechanic/autoelectrician, free of charge so all good. Question though, I had a quick sit and play with the box, it is very smooth... in fact... too smooth. Can anyone describe...

ahhh well, a win is a win. To be honest though, squeezing power out of these dodgey Buick/Holden engines is near impossible, power for capacity is less than a Hyundai Excel, and thats terrible. The only way is forced induction and/or an engine rebuild - even that is not going to give you...

Actually... the process is quite slow, I haven't heard from them in nearly a week... I am going to give them a call today and see where they're at. I will post back as soon as I have some more information. And Lyoness... what is your car running... just admiring your signature and wondering...
