    Alloytech Problem With Getting a Nice Noise.

    I have a stock vy ss cat back (twin 2.25) on my vz sv6 with stock cat's and extractors. i have a nice note and no drone. it's never gonna sound like an 8 if that's what your after. do the 2 hole mod and you'll get a nice growl under acceleration hth

    Alloytec bogged down on full throttle takeoff

    go to an auto sparky with a tech 2 and scan for fault code's will tell you what cylinder's coils need replacing, but if one or 2 are buggered other's wont be far so may as well do all 6. no point doing the same job twice

    Alloytec bogged down on full throttle takeoff

    it'll be coil pack's had a similar problem on the wife's vz wagon, it was miss firing and shuddering on hard acceleration but drove perfect when driven gentle. replaced all coil pack's and problem was gone. also replaced Co2 sensor as it was faulty

    LED Lighting - Interior, Parker and Number Plate

    boot festoon is the same as your glove box and rear curtsy light's. also if your putting led's in the map light's you need to reverse the polarity there is a thread on here how to do it. took me about 5 min to do.

    another diff question?

    Could anybody help with the diagnostics with mine. Would it just be play in the gears?

    another diff question?

    The vz ss diff is in question is 3.07.1. My sv6 is the 5 speed auto, i know the ss is auto but not sure if it's 4 or 5 speed. Thanks to all for your input. So from what info I've received today it will fit and I'll gain a little more acceleration, but I'll loose a little top speed and have to...

    another diff question?

    Cheers Richard

    another diff question?

    I already have lsd in mine. What's the advantages of having different gear ratio? Quicker acceleration or more top speed? The diff is out of an auto vz ss
  17. Ricksta

    another diff question?

    I don't know if i'm going to keep the ss gear ratio tho. The gear ratio only changes the rpm to speed doesn't it? I have an auto 5 speed.
  18. Ricksta

    another diff question?

    Cheers mate so the yokes should be the same being both from a vz? Not sure what gear ratio is as waiting on the bloke to message me back. It's just a stock vz ss diff. What is a good price? It's done 120,000k guy's asking $400 for it. I plan on rebuilding mine while it's out then putting it back in.

    another diff question?

    Hi guy's will a vz ss diff bolt strait up into a vz sv6? My diff has started clunking when roling in reverse and when you accelorate after coasting down a hill, it's like gear's are loose or need re shimimg or something. Anyways i did read somewhere that the yoak's are a different size, could...

    Installing power windows?
