    Camshaft

    Hey, I am considering the same, to go with new heads and valvetrain. Pac springs can handle .600 and roller rockers are 1.8, but at what point in cam spec's, (duration and lift) will I start to have a problem with valves contacting standard pistons? Will a standard LS1 grind, albeit HSV GTS...

    Should I Keep posting useless polls????

    I still remember, with great satisfaction, lying on my back with the car on ramps, and changing my first clutch. Man that was an accomplishment! :beer chug: I honestly intend to do my own work, but there are about 30 apprentices at work that jump at the chance. Some of them will be great...

    Creole Creme, Are You Offended?

    Well done to everyone trying to keep the thread on track with their slant on the absurdities of our "PC generation". :rofl2: It's a ridiculous minefield that we have designed for ourselves. If only the rules were made for the reasonable majority and not there to enforce restrictions upon the...

    Creole Creme, Are You Offended?

    Gee... Just read all the thread, some really funny stuff, all true; :beer chug: some not so funny. I am just your average white skip, and I teach at a school in Melb. suburbs that is only open due to it demanding the right to exist in the High Court, after being closed by the Kennett...

    bigger throttle body

    When asking about a tune, I was told not to bother with a polished TB, that the polish was more for show than flow. He recommended a billet TB. I have a "Australian Throttle Bodies", 80 mm billet TB. :smoking: It's bored oversize, polished, has an adjustable TPS locator, had 1/2 shaft...

    ABS, Engine, Traction Control and Airbag Lights

    nolim8ts, I was having the same problem, now fixed, (after new alternator was installed). It may not be the problem, it could be the ABS module, but it surely doesn't hurt to check and ensuring good earth, before replacing the module? Anyway, good luck and hope it fixes the problem.

    ABS module fault, or,...

    Hey, an update, seems it was the alternator overcharging causing sensors to read high and cause other PCM read errors, not the ABS module. :yeah: I remember reading a post while trawling through for info on the ABS issue, that a member advised that it could be the engine (or other) earth strap...

    Commodore back to USA

    Speaking with a mate who helped engineer the rear safety barrier and gun rack. He told me that to get the exact shape of the rear they kerffed the steel section for the out line with cuts every 5mm, in some places at all angles to the section. They then pulled it out, filled all the kerfs (mig)...

    Diagnostic Cable On Ebay

    Cant think of how you can get a better deal. The seller is just saying a demo exists. He doesn't mention the use of unlicensed software, that would be up to you, and completely out of his control...:whistling I think if you were in business then paying for the full program would be a...

    Hey Mike, sorry about trashing your early retirement plan, and of course I would have paid more if someone else had of bid...

    Diagnostic Cable On Ebay

    I just got the last 1 he sold for $83, if it can save me from buying/ replacing 1 part, and not payn' to find out what DTC codes I have logged, etc I will be happy. Also clears DTC.

    Mates and I used to muck around Larundel and Janefield 35 years ago as a kids, some parts were still open, "normal" patients could walk around. But the ones that were locked up... F***K. We would dare each other to go look in the windows, and if they caught you, it would scare the utter ****...

    Is this mod illegal officer...?

    I guess the post was lost in translation, t'was meant to be a funny and not serious... No, I wouldn't want one in my car, just letting others know what was being developed here in Melb for the States. Perhaps I should have posted in the jokes section?; 'cause apparently not understood... sheesh...
