    AFM L76 lifter rattle when cold WTF?

    Here are the problems that I took the car in for today.. 1. Engine Noise - Ticking Sound - This was looked at in December last year. I was advised to wait till about 6000km and if it was still there to come back. The ticking noise varies in loudness but its most prominent when car is hot. It...

    window tint. - midnight express on sv6 sportwagon

    @holdengirl17 If you don't mind driving to Dandy go to TAC, and get Andy to do it for you. Got my New SS done a month ago. Faultless job and looks great. I got 20% dome on mine. HSV085 recommended him to me and i will go there again.

    So, if you had say $50,000 to spend on a new car in QLD, what would you buy?

    When I was deciding between XR6T, SS, and 86GT I looked at all of that. But I just couldn't pass up the V8. @maccas90 congrats on the Clubby

    No No $1200 tune will do that. XR6T make about 260-270rwkw after a tune only.

    So, if you had say $50,000 to spend on a new car in QLD, what would you buy?

    The TR6060 is very nice smooth. Almost 1500km on mine now and its getting smoother. L77 AMF is a bit of a drag if I decide to do anything more than zorst, otr and tune. But its my company car so I don't think I will do anything else apart from that anyways. Anyways the Z SS is very nice...

    How often should my car see a mechanic?

    :rofl2: Take it out to 3 years and let us know if you want to experiment. But IMHO You will need to change oil and filter at least every 12 months. Since your only doing such short trips your oil will almost never get up to its operating temperature. This causes a problem because any...

    Engine oil flush. Yes or No?

    No Problem mate. If you keep up with the service intervals you wont need to flush your engine. Just monitor your oil. Also your service intervals depend very highly on the type of driving you do. If your average trips only last 10-15 mins your oil will break down faster due to...

    Engine oil flush. Yes or No?

    If you wanna clean your engine, just use some Duel Rated Diesel Engine oil until your next change. It has a stronger detergent package and because petrol engines don't produce as many by products as Diesel's do it will do wonders. Something like Caltex Delo LE 15w-40 its SM Rated (So it can...

    engine oil life

    Yup that's right. You need to request it to be done. Btw the dealer told me that the initial oil in the car when engine is new is not Synthetic its a run in oil for the engine. I picked my SS up today and will do an oil change next weekend. I will change it with a dyno oil and at 3000km...

    Car Tinting

    Mine is going in tomorrow for 20% Tint @ Tint A Car Dandy. @HSV085 - Spoke to Andy yesterday. Seem like a nice bloke. They want $399 for 20% - A bit steep I think. They have $100 off octane on website but he said octane does not come in 20%. Anyway it should look good.

    300rwkw L98

    I am getting my Z SS Manual this Saturday. Its got the L77 and TR6060. The L77 has all the AMF Gear but its not activated in a Manual. So if I ever cam it depending on the cam I get I will need to change out the Lifters and Springs. Also there is a few other things they will need to do as well...

    300rwkw L98

    @pmoller Just be aware mate that all new SS Z have the L77 engine not an L98. Its just an L98 with AMF crap on it. If your going to cam it you will need to allow for AMF lifter to be taken off and new lifter put on I believe. That goes for Auto and Manual. Manual AMF is software disabled from...
