    VY S2 Overheat - low speed fan

    Not much higher than 0V on the PCM controlled pin, been a few weeks since I tested, but it never energises the relay. I've checked that circuit back to the PCM and it seemed OK.

    VY Series 2 Calais collision repair

    Unfortunately I recently had a prang in my VY series 2 Calais and the repairer has said they cannot source the top grille from any of their usual channels. They want to give it back to me as is, put a note on the claim with the last known list price and have the insurer pay me for the "cost"...

    Aftermarket headunit installation question

    Note to OP: this is included in the set Nic linked if you decide to purchase that rather than everything separately. Also, that headunit is a rather pricey unit if you are only chasing bluetooth and AUX. Shop around and you could get a headunit with similar features from a reputable brand and...

    Wireless reverse camera issues - possibly wiring?

    I guess one way to test it is to hook the AV in line up to a TV and test if that correctly displays the camera vision. At least that helps to narrow it down.

    Vu ute speaker setup

    Not sure if you intend to put 2 6x9s or 4 6x9s, your post mentions both. If you intend to run 2 6x9s and only want to amp them then all you need is a 2 channel amp. If you intend to run 4 6x9s and only want to amp them then all you need is a 4 channel amp. Which amp you choose is entirely up...

    Double Din Stereo - GPS - Reversing camera ?

    There are plenty of threads detailing this, the reverse light seems to be the easiest line to tap into, although according to some posts there may be a wire you can use within the drivers kick panel if you want to get a test light out and probe around while in reverse. Positive terminal at the...

    need code for stereo

    If you had time to muck around you could probably crack it with an arduino board setup. Perfect excuse if you aren't too fussed about losing the stock look.

    Looking at buying VE SV6, what to check?

    He told me that it's his daughters car, she got it in a settlement as a result of her broken marriage and she wants to get rid of it. Although it is possible that it's cheap due to problems, it's also possible that there's genuinely nothing wrong with it! :) In South Australia, yes, it is...

    Timing Chain Issue VE Commodore 2006 HELP PLEASE

    So Holden payed for part of the repairs, it was part done under warranty or you just had someone do it really cheaply? $700 is a lot less than the typical $1500 I hear about.

    Looking at buying VE SV6, what to check?

    Hi, I am looking at buying a 2006 VE SV6 Commodore tomorrow. It has 175,000kms, couple stains in the interior, a scratch on one door and a dent on the side skirt. Reason why I'm looking to buy it: price is $7800. The guy has a genuine reason for selling it so cheaply, but I won't...

    VT stalled and now won't start!

    Thanks for that, I will try it soon. It does not always smell like fuel, only when I ride it a bit harder than a grandpa.

    VT stalled and now won't start!

    I'll be replacing the fuel filter soon. When I turn off the car, it has a pretty heavy fuel smell outside the car. Is it likely to stem from the same issue or something entirely different? Cheers

    Speakers, amps, subs and head units!!!!!

    It's funny you say that, you seem to be the only one around here that is unable to read what is said. Time to let this thread die, it's a horrible idea. Go read the Car Audio section.

    VT stalled and now won't start!

    Had just filled up the tank earlier that day, would have been 95+% full. Started perfectly at the bottom on flat ground, wouldn't start at the top of basically flat ground (slight sideways lean). Have not had an issue with the remote, I did not notice the red mode led at all when having issues...

    VT stalled and now won't start!

    Appreciate the input mate. After another 10+ attempts at starting, it started fine. My father seems to think that it might have been flooded with fuel? The engine bay did smell like fuel, air filter was clean, ignition was sparking, fuel pump was starting up okay, everything seemed fine, it...

    VT stalled and now won't start!

    Hey guys, My daily driver is giving me issues. It's a '97 series 1 VT Berlina, V6, with only 98,000kms on the clock. It was serviced about 5,000kms ago. So the story is, I started it, reversed it up my hill driveway, once at the top the engine lost power then stalled. Now, it won't start. The...

    Did you seriously think that your thread deserved an intelligent response? Read the goddamn Car Audio forum. There's plenty of bitching, whinging and praises about several different brands/models. Hell, use Google, there are so many reviews out there that you'd be busy for a month going through...

    Toyota 86

    Do you get a kick out of being completely ignorant of what others are saying? You've been told time and time again, in this thread, NO ONE CARES. Go and brag in your own thread. Great car Aussie Willy, I've got a soft spot for the 86's, very fine pieces of automotive engineering! :beer chug:

    Noob Question

    Without even reading half the other crap above, your original answer to the question didn't answer the original question correctly, you started talking about the frequency response when the actual question was simply due to misinterpretation of the information on the box (quoted frequency being...

    Noob Question

    I would have said that the frequency was there simply to specify what tone(s) were used to measure the output OR the frequencies where the THD is <= 1%. It's frequency RESPONSE would be an entirely different spec, which generally does not change with changing impedance loads. OP, I don't think...

    Soundstream cap drawing .5amp

    How to wire to 2 ohms

    Not even going to bother with the other misinformed crap, will just sort nitro out. Nitro, the subwoofer is a DVC 2 ohm. You can wire the voice coils into either series or parallel. If you wire them in series, the resistance is added. 2ohm+2ohm = 4 ohm If you wire them in parallel, the...

    Audio System advice

    Stupid advice, please don't say it again. All headunits that have speaker outputs have an onboard amplifier, these amplifiers aren't typically as good as a separate amplifier, but they still provide a good sound until the are pushed beyond their limit and distort the sound. So while the...
