Hiya, I picked up a SS Inductions CAI yesterday to get a little more air as I have just had my engine worked over a little (Cam, rebore, flat top pistons and set of pacemakers). I modded the bottom airbox as directed and fitted the Air intake. All looked good and sounded better (more...

Well i had no replys so i took to the bracket with a hacksaw. Turned out great, the 120A alternator is mounted and running great. I can now have my lights on and my system pumping and the dash lights don't even dim now like they used to. Seems like the 120A alternator has an AUX output as well...

Hello, i was in need of a new alternator and i picked up the 120A police special for $180 new, only it wont fit in the position of the stock alternator the mounting bracket is to big. Has anyone had any experience installing one of these do we just cut the stock bracket or is there a...

hmmmm, so can anyone confirm the error code 75??? does it sound like its alternator related?

DO you know how much this would cost to have done? and maybe re wind (i think thats the term) it so it puts out more amps? I have had a price on the BXH-1231 standard V8 85A Alt $144, im getting a price on the BXH-1250 tomorrow, hopefully it is not much more. Im guessing the only different...

Im pretty sure my alternator is shagged. my batery light came on (has been going on and of for a few days). yesterday while stuck in traffic it came on again and my speakers cut out and only the sub was going so i turned off the stereo. Then my ABS Off light and Engine warning light came on...

Hi, is the alternator up for sale?

I have called a few wreckers and i have been told around the $150 - $250 mark with no warranty. I can get the new one from bosch for $144. How much will it cost to get mine reconditioned? everyone is closed now so has any one had this done?

Hi Guys, Im in need of an alternator like yesterday, mine is dead. Repco, Bursons, Supercheap and all the usual places are out even holden are out. Mainly because Bosch are out of stock for 3 - 5 more weeks(friends work for bosch). So my call goes out to you all, does anyone have an...

Dr. Bob, it was the 20A Engine fuse from under the bonnet. The alligner said the best he could get it was 2.2 on the passenger side and 1.1 on the driver side, i asked why he couldn;t get it right and he said thats the best we could do, i said well i paid $360 for a camberkit and he said yes...

good luck on a $500 budget. for a decent headunit 2 subs and 2 amps you should be looking at probably $1000 minimum for something decent... i will have a look around see what youc an get for as cheap as possible... are you going to use the stock speakers in the car or do you have speakers...

i had a full service done less than 2000kms ago. this included spark plugs and leads and i also had a carbon clean done at the same time and the injectors were in good working order as i was worried about the constant ticking of the engine. the mechanic said tha was the lifters and its very...

yeah thats what im worried about... the cost as im currently unemployed and on the dole. and i need my car for interviews :( stylin_vr2: i drove it to an interview and it was sweet, not missing a beat and then when i came out like 2 hours later it all went down hill and these problems happened.

1991_Vn2nV, I hit a tree in my vs and did similar damage to my beast, RACV refused to pay out, i had comp insurance. It took them 3 months to make this decision, and i got stuck with towing and storage fees for my car which was $1800 and then $7500 for repairs and now all my doors have dropped...

Save the cruise....

Hi Dr Bob, the problem with the rear end is that when i got the camber kit installed at ttf to correct my rear passenger wheel as it was leaning in. they can't get it corrected they have the drivers side at 1.1 and the passenger at 2.2. Would this indicate that something is bent in the rear...

anyone else have any idea's on this?????

so no dfi module then???

hmmm does the V8 have coilpacks like the V6??? I though they ran a different system? but im probably wrong. kopper69, i rechecked for the codes and it gave 10x code 12's :( trust me i wish it gave me a code so i could pin point the problem :(

from what my mechanic said, the SS inductions cai let in more air so they are better but they also have a poorer build qualiry. i have a holden cai as it was cheaper, but the ss inductions cai also give a louder induction noise from what i have been told, but not as loud as a pod filter...

good i thought something was screwed :p

OK i get a code 12 Systems pass..... dunno wtf is going on.... when i checked for fault codes and had pins 5 and 6 shorted a fan kicked in under the bonnet, is this normal????

thanks for the reply vsMick... Where abouts is the DFI module so i can check to see if the wire is worn? Yeah if i took my foot off the accelerator and the revs dropped the car would stall, hence me having to have my left foot planted hard on the brakes and my right on the accelerator on about...

someone must know wtf is going on

Well i have posted the first bit of this problem on here before and no one really knows whats causing it... ( 2 auto elec's as well) but it has just got alot worse.... :bang: I was parked on a hill facing down and i went to reverse my car out, and when i did this, obviously when reversing up...

i agree with hozy altho I have seen a few reports that certain coolants can promote rusting and this can be worse when mixing two different coolants. but yeah i would believe an engineer over something on a current affair or today tonight.

i was up around 18 - 19litres per 100kms in my 5.0litre, during my last full service i told them to do a carbon clean, after i picked up my car i was getting around 14 - 15 litres per 100kms. I have since changed my fuel filter and also started using BP Ultimate and im getting 12 - 14 litres per...

How do i recalibrate the cluster? by just running it down to nothing so the car stops? or do i need to do something else? The fuel pump constantly makes a buzzing noise, my friends that drive commodore's also get this noise but only till the car has started then it stops, while mine continues...

sweet looking ride

Im spewin because i didn't know about this years ago, if i did then i may have been able to control my car spinning in the wet and hitting a tree costing me over $8,000, maybe i still would have hit it, but maybe not as much damage. I told them i was willing to pay to do the course because i...

Hi Dr. Bob, Im trying to put some cash away to come and see you to get my chip upgraded. I have had my dash cluster out and there is a switch on the back of it saying 60 or 80 litre tank, now the most i have ever put in my tank was 72litres. and thats when readout on the cluster had just...

I had my diff checked not too long ago, if you go for a new LSD centre to convert a single spinner i was quoted $700 just for the centre, no labour or anything. For that price i would rather pay $750 plus labour and stick in a Detroit Locker. and thats what the diff guy recommended...

Holden quoted me $30 to "coded" the key, buy i had to have the blade cut first by a locksmith. This cost me $17.50. I went to get this done at the locksmith and walked out to my car and remember someone mentioning a little trick where you press the unlock key of your working key and then place...
