is there a thread on replacing the voltage regulator? whats a new regulator worth?

yeah fair enough, my battery keeps going flat so that could be the case, i was half thinking that the guages and alike might be going out becasue theyres not enough power for it to run the motor and accessories, how would it affect how it revs? would it be similar with the gauges for the fuel...

sorry to tag onto the thread but today my vt v6, all the guages went dead and the a/c doesnt work any more, the odometer still works but that is the only thing on the dash that does, any ideas?

ok fellas im in need of some serious help, my vt v6 paddock basher has spat the dummy today i was driving over to my grandmothers today and it just wasnt right, first off i thought the auto was low on fluid becasue it didnt know what the hell it was doing, then just as i turned off the road and...

i made a back seat lounge out of a wb statesman back seat, worst part is that theyre 2 seperate cushions, if i was to build another i would use the hinges of a bucket seat on each end so you can recline

i had it in my vt paddock basher, i flushed it and put a external trans cooler and it has fixed the problem theres still a tiny bit but i think its just little bits that are coming loose over time

i think the injector helped a bit, gave her a big dose, about half a little bottle to approx 12-20l of fuel lol, got a old vn shell out the back i pulled the motor 5 spd and diff out of my hq, the old man wants to run over it with the bulldozer, didnt want to to start with but i reckon itd...

parts must be expensive where you are if people wont sell a car to the wreckers for less than scrap ill give it a go, might mix it with regular fuel 1 so it doesnt blow the motor and too cause its not going to be cheap and i dont want to burn it all up in 10min0s, somewhere between 20-50% gas,

do you guys recon the old vt would handle a petrol/avgas(or jet A1) mixture, work near a airport and can buy either one :)

got the thermo wired up, keeps her nice and cool, i run it if im going below 50 or so, did the exact same as vn-vr, just piggy backed onto the blue wire with white stripe, F6 at the ecu and earthed the other end of the switch on the seat rail, its fully manual now, burnouts here we come

near dubbo, id only do it with fords tho, couldnt do it to a real car lol
