Thanks mate , follow this thread for the LED tray lights:

LED tray lighting

I finally tracked down a company in the states that does what im look for. Just been asking them heaps of questions because they are in the states so i cant exatly go for a drive and talk/yell at them if something doesnt work lol.

I actually emailed them b4 to get the ball rolling on getting them out here now that all my questions have been answered

I was thinking the other day of another thing i could put in the tray, waterproof speakers lol... just i want to be able to switch them on and off with a switch that i'd locate near the other ones. Just trying to figure out if it can be done.

I know this wont annoy everyone, but washed the car on the weekend and found this... Someone has opened their door into the side on the tray. Black car + long panel = sticks out like dogs balls... Not happy

Was cleaning some things in the eng bay just b4 and decided to take the intake pipe off for a bit of a looksy... WTF is that oil crap just in front of the butterfly?!?! Its coming out of some small pipe that goes from the intake pipe to the R/H rocker cover. Wiped of the T/B ok but has stained the intake pipe. The butterfly itself looks like it’s corroding...

Also, excuse the Basic question, but im guessing M30 is the 4L60?
I read on wikipedia also the SSZ's came out with a 3.7 diff, yet mines a 3.07, can someone confirm or deny this?

its normal for it to get oily like that. its from the pcv valve whish is that pipe you described. its there so fumes coming from the engine oil get a chance to be burnt and pushed through the cats before goin to atmosphere. nothing to worry about.

Im pretty sure the SSZ's were mechanically identical to the SS's
