    VR SS manual strange breakdown

    Checked plugs, leads and dizzy. Very slight corrosion on one lead (no. 6 I think it was) but nothing that would cause any issues. They're only 5,000ish kms old. Been looking at wiring but haven't spotted anything as of yet. Haven't had the rocker covers off yet though,

    VR SS manual strange breakdown

    I hope so as well, I'm thinking it could be headgasket, burnt/bent valves, or even both but still can't explain the electrical problems. Under normal circumstances i'd be putting a claim in through Fair Trading but turns out they've sold the business and are long gone. So considering the value...

    VR SS manual strange breakdown

    Hey Everyone! My daily drive is a manual VR SS, very basic mods, nothing crazy (exhaust, extractors, gear-drive). I needed a new power-steering line turned up so booked it into my local mechanic. Ran absolutely fine at this point. Job finished and was called to pick it up. Got there and car...

    351N Crema Mica VZ

    Hey Everyone! I posted last year about a "Golden VZ Calais" but didn't know the paint code or anything about it. I have since found out that the paint code is 351N Crema Mica, which, is a VE colour. The original car I saw was for sale and boasted being a "One-of-Six" in a VE colour to promote...

    Golden VZ Calais

    I had a look at the Jewish Racing Gold and it's not the same, this one was a very bright, almost yellow Gold. Looked incredible, wish I had a pic of it.

    Golden VZ Calais

    Yeah, I would but it's already gone so can't get back to the ad or the profile of the person selling it. Would make things much easier if I could just get the paint code.

    Golden VZ Calais

    Yeah, I am hoping that they are wrong, only 6 of them would make it way too hard to pick up one for myself ahahaha

    Golden VZ Calais

    Hi Everyone! I was browsing FB marketplace the other day when I came across a beautiful VZ Calais for sale that was painted in VE Calais Gold from Factory. The owner mentioned in the description that they were a promotion car for the new VE Calais colours and 6 VZ Calais were painted in this...

    How tell a real SV6 from a fake SV6

    That one with the Grey interior has Calais partial leather seats. Looks like console lid has also been swapped, the red ones are one of the standard SV6 ones that you could option. They are both SV6's as they are tip-tronic auto and series 1. They also have the sports display at the top of the...

    VF Commodore Control Modules

    Yeah he also told my old man when he scanned his '05 VZ One Tonner that if your car is tuned, when your battery dies the tune goes with it :D

    VF Commodore Control Modules

    Thanks for the heads up everyone, the sparky wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed anyway. Was just wanting to be sure before I commit to a large scale build. Cheers

    VF Commodore Control Modules

    G'day everyone, I'm looking at getting a VF SS eventually but was told today by an Auto Electrician that they won't last because the BCM's are made of biodegradable plastic and they will melt over time. He also said that this is the case for all modern Commodores (VN - VF). Was just wondering...
