    Calibre Gauges?

    I have a red illuminated Vacuum gauge, I didn't know you could choose what colour, as it doesn't even say on the package what colour it is.. Do you reckon I'd be able to pull it apart and change the globe?

    AWESOME, thanks heaps!

    LED Blinkers

    If you replace all your turn signal globes with LED's, don't you need resistors on each of them due to the lack of amps they pull?

    HID kit

    Reckon it's worth having a HID light kit installed in the VP?

    Performance chips

    Can anyone tell me a bit about performance chips? How they work, where they go, how much power is increased, are they fuel economical, etc etc..

    Your opinion

    yeah, kids might yell names at me as im gettin out of the car, especialy if im wearing my favourite michael bolton t shirt n tight blue jeans n thongs. i'll pretend i cant hear them as i nervously strut in the opposite direction hoping they arent planning on keying the panels and knifing a tyre...

    Your opinion

    Oh I see, well that makes sense.. well lets say the band has an album with a pure black cover and the bands logo is on the diagonal top left corner of the cover..
  11. mrc25381

    Your opinion

    lets say my favourite band is boys 2 men or human nature.. does it make a difference? i'm asking your opinion as if it was your car, man.
  12. mrc25381

    Your opinion

    I have a car I'm fixing up (Commodore of course) and I'm thinking of placing a huge white decal sticker of my fav band's logo on the bonnet (which is black). What do you think?

    Headlight chrome

    Thanks man.

    Headlight chrome

    Dudes, What would I use to recoat the chrome on a headlight? I went to clean one the other day and ended up wiping the chrome clean off in 1 or 2 spots back to this yellow crap. So I'm wondering is there like stuff you can paint or stick on to replicate a chrome finish? I've used "chrome"...

    V8 parts in V6

    Hey. What are some V8 parts I can put in my V6 VP that will not only fit, but make it go harder?

    What colour to paint the needles in the dash?

    Well my car must be an ex-surveilance car. I know the RTA owned it before I did, it explains all the extras that came with it, ie. cruise control, ABS, imobiliser, map lights (although I have removed those), etc etc. And now I know the speedo light is an extra too.

    Windscreen wiper switch

    Hey I have a speedo police light, I never knew it was for that, thought it was just standard.. My actual speedo needle doesn't light up at all tho, so I thought that's what the light was for.. Cool!

    Upgrade VR to VS Engine & Transmission

    Dudes, What would be involved in replacing a VP motor with a VR motor? I'm guessing not much, they are basically the same, right? Oh and if anyone is cluey with auto gearboxes please let me know..
  20. mrc25381

    transmission conversion

    I wanna do the same with my VP V6. Any advice?

    custom VN-VP headlights

    Do what I'm gonna do (once I've bought replacement headlights since my accident a few weeks ago..) Take the glass lenses off and paint all the chrome surrounds black, then put the lenses back on.
  22. mrc25381

    what do you love most about your VN

    The Vp I think the VP is a way better looking vehicle, for starters, the standard front end doesn't look as though it has been sucked under the car, the front blinkers wrap right around the sides, I replaced the square amber side blinkers with the clear oval ones on mine, VN's don't have that...

    power steering noises....

    VN - VP's are notorious for power steering leaks from the cap.. Just check it once a week, along with your oil & water etc.

    resonator Exhaust question

    What if you were to weld a stainless steel tip straight onto the resonator after drilling holes in the resonator (inside of where the tip would be welded)? I've seen this done, you can't see the holes once carbon has built up.. I'm guessing it's illegal, but it wouldn't exceed 90dB, would it?

    Just chasing opinions

    If u install a split system (which is more advisable), u just make a "donut" with mdf or ply with an outside diameter of the 4". Then make up some little brackets to hold them in, like I did. Look>> http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mrc25381/album?.dir=5964&.src=ph

    Blinker switch adjustment

    Hey all. Just wondering if there's a way to adjust the indicator switch in the steering column so that the blinker cuts out a bit sooner. At the moment, it cuts off almost near dead straight ahead.. Thanks guys.

    another bridgestone

    Geez.. it's 10mm, would it really make a difference? :unsure:

    Windscreen wiper wash button

    yep, just go to the wreckers, n get just the part u need, this happened to me, before u go, pull the entire switch apart and see what is it thats broken, for me: it was a little black threaded plastic stick thing that screws onto the actual button (the metal part inside). it's pretty easy.

    LED Lighting

    I am in the process of doing mine also. I have also done the rear number plate lights, but before i replaced them I disassembled and painted inside the casings gloss white, this way with any colour they shine a lot brighter, i used white LEDs.

    wat i need for dvd setup

    My advice: (This is what I'm doing) Get a Sony PSP, there's nothing this thing can't do (eg mp4's, mp3's, internet, games, everything man), and then get a FM transmitter for the sound. Too easy!

    cai

    Mine works great, had it for about 18 months, very similar to holden#1's. Although I've never had to change the filter cos I got a permanent K&N one. And if you do happen to dive along a dusty road, the filter will "filter" the ****. Just make sure you clean it out afterwards. I have some...

    Repairs to brakes - ABS - gone horribly wrong.

    Dude, that exact same thing happened to me. At first the mechanics realised they threw out the "rings" so they fixed that, but it's still no different, and since then I've been back n forth, trying to sort it out. The mechanics don't wanna be responsible. I took it to a Holden dealer, they had...

    Vn stalls when steering on full lock....

    Yeah I know it causes strain.. While we're on the topic: Is there much you can do about steering fluid leaking from the cap? I've heard it's a common fault in VP's (maybe others aswell?).

    Watts watt? Speakersover and under and some trouble shooting...

    Found anothery: Amperes = Watts x Volts. 100watts x 12 Volts = 8amps Should be Amperes = Watts / Volts. 100watts / 12 Volts = 8amps And on that note, it is a little confusing using 100W, because you started using 432Wrms on the paragraph before. I would've kept going using that example...

    Watts watt? Speakersover and under and some trouble shooting...

    "Watts also = Voltage squared / ohms. So, 100 volts(on your speaker cables) squared equals 1000 divide that by 4ohms(the standard impedance of a car speaker and you get 250 Wrms." Um.. 100 x 100 = 10000. Therefore 10000 / 4ohms = 2500Wrms And where did u get 100V from anyway?

    Vn stalls when steering on full lock....

    Just give the car a bit of throttle while turning if u have to. It's only while the car is stationary though hey.. Mine does it too.

    LED Lighting

    People, www.brightlightautoparts.com they have heaps of cool stuff, including 39mm 8 led festoons for the dome lights.

    Bright LEDS on bonnet?

    Look, The way I see it, just do it. If you get pulled over (which is unlikely) they can only give you a warning because how are you to know it's an offence if no one (eg. the tv) tells you? And make sure it's hooked up to a switch so you can turn it off. I'm actually looking for some myself...
  39. mrc25381

    Please NO!

    DUDE, the same thing happened to me even after a service, I took it back and he said he would adjust/replace the servo assembly (more money) but hell of a difference, she kicks like a mule now, lol.
