Can't really answer your question sorry, just a correction. An r32 skyline is a straight six not a 4 cyl (unless for some strange reason it has been converted to a 4)

I work full time in a mechanical workshop. I have found Kinchrome ratchet spanners to be very good, there ratchets and sockets seem pretty good. But there normal spanners are crap. They seem to have make some alright tools and some shitty ones. I now use Snap-On open end spanners. Thought I...

Not really fussed with horse racing. Just enjoy the day off to do whatever you want. For me that was recovering from a good monday night :)

Too true ^^ If your vn v6 is getting too hot, something in the cooling system is not functioning correctly, not it needs upgrading. My VN V6 is a daily and the only time it has ever overheated is when I had a dodgy hose clamp on the bottom radiator hose and I lost all my coolant. Has been in...

Has one of the balance weights fallen off the wheels when you removed them? Has happened to me

Can't say anything about newer LS series motors but the earlier ones were de-tuned. I have been told this by a bloke who has worked at holden for more then 10 years. What incentive would they have you ask? For one, so its easier and cheaper to give the HSV versions more Kilowatts. For example...

Haha that's a good way to put it. I can't offer any tips sorry but I would love to know when you find out roughly how much (in parts, labour cost is me) this conversion would cost as I would love to do this to my vn when I get off my p's and if the budget allows.

Nice ride! I am jelious. I would love an r32.

I am a Penrite fan, I would recommend Penrite Hpr 10. Which is a 10w-50 full synthetic. Although I also think the Nylon would be just as good in quality but the Penrite 10-50 doesn't thin out as much at high temps. (thats the extra ten in the second number).

Do Royal Purple not have a lube guide on their website? Most other oil manufactures seem to.

Please go take some English lessons then come back and try and say all that again.

Dude what are you smoking?

Yep. In Victoria anyway. Unless they came out from factory on that car (for example older 911 Porsche)

If they have gotten to the stage of being noisy they definately will need replacing. Just pull the rotors off. Punch the old bearing cones out. Clean everything properly. Tap new cones in. Pack new bearings with wheel bearing grease and re-install. Sorry would be more detailed but I am doing...

Actually The Living End are playing this year.

Although I should add they can get quite tight. If I feel its real tight then use a single hex socket and breaker bar. Which it sounds like you haven't been.

Somethings wrong if its leaking every time. I have done oil changes in literally hundreds of ecotec motors using the alloy washer every time. Never had to 'over tighten' them and never had one leak on me.

460km,s easy, and that's not long trips haven't tested that yet. Will go to 480 or 490 if I run it to dead empty (as in car conking out haha). That is with the 63 litre tank running BP Ultimate 98 octane

+1 for what monkeys437 said.

Machine the front disc rotors if the they have enough thickness on them Edit: actually re read your thread, actually sounds more like abs coming on. If the disc rotors need machining they will also start to vibrate at moderate levels of braking also

You have grip! Isn't this a good thing? (if the car is for the street) Amm maybe some ve steel wheels and shitty tyres would do it. I wouldn't imagine the ve 6 would be good for burnouts anyway because the motor is made for higher end torque. Is the motor running fine? Like clean fuel filter, no...

Looks fairly neat I like this! Kudos for putting that boot lip style spoiler on looks good. Did it come with coilovers?

Can you hammer a slightly smaller double hex socket onto it or isn't there enough room? Actually first try using a single hex socket if you aren't already

No LSD is all about more traction. +1 for getting a LSD. What brand are the tyres? Because you can still have 100% tread and shitty traction from crappy tyres. And maybe learn how to take off better because it would be a tad harder in a lightweight Ute

Usually main causes of this are obviously a blown globe and also incorrect wattage globe or globes fitted!

Hub rings: legal Hub SPACERS: Illegal. Unless they came out standard with that car and passed adr's. The only one I know of is an older 911 Porsche

Been awhile since I have done one but down on the rack you will see the speed sensitive control unit thing. Looks kinda like an oil pressure switch with a two wire plug going into the back of it. Undo this. It is a bit of a pain to get onto and you can really only use open end spanners but it...

If vs has the same sort of earth problems in the tail lights as vn, all the best luck! Haha

Alloytec: Definately smoother, more economical. More powerful. More expensive to work on. But it is also just that little bit more a 'throw away' engine like most cars are nowadays. (as in cheaper to replace then repair). Ecotec(v6): In my opinion more reliable both from new, and down the track...

You can block off where the lines go into the throttlebody and it will run fine. It is a legal requirement to have it there though as then you will just be venting fuel vapour into the atmosphere

Not sure if the engine has to be newer I think it just has to produce an equal or less amount of emissions

Throw in some more info on what you mean OP

Another vote for the Phillips Xtreme 100. Currently using them.

Amm yes they do they have clutch packs inside

No mostly China now. There may be a few still made there but too many faults coming out of South Africa.

Being strong with yourself and start cutting down slowly. I only smoked for a couple of years (i'm 20) and still took me a good year of cutting down on/off smoking till I quit completly. I still get cravings but just be strong with your mind.

Cars to not like short little drives like that all the time. Wears out the motor quicker

^ dude no need to yell. Vn is quite a good car and the fact they are basic makes them reliable and easy to mod/work on. I would recommend them. Just keep in mind because they are getting on in age bits and pieces will be wearing out.

Would love to see I killed the prom queen and house vs hurricane there. I am very pumped for blink and offspring (as long as offspring don't play new ****)

They are are also 'high performance , high flow' I don't know if I could trust a high flow filter to stop as much fine metal as a genuine filter. Please correct me if I am wrong, would love to hear from someone who has properly these filters against each other on a test bench or something.
