Thank-you very much figjam and sandman for your assistance. (I know I am hopelessly ocd with stuff like this......) I reckon I will go with the 235/40/18 RE003's on the +43 simmons hoops. That should definitely clear the guards. The 235's are about $45 bucks cheaper per tyre than the 245/40...

Thanks figjam, Nice to know that the only difference between your current ride and my proposal is that my tyres will be 5mm closer to the guard lip. I very rarely carry more than 1passenger, but is my daily, and does get whipped some. If I went for 235 tyres instead of 245 the...

I thought ride height would have nothing to do with clearances when the suspension bottoms out. Or am I thinking wrong about that? Front shock body and spring seat clearance is less than a compressed finger as standard so the +43 with 245's should just clear the front strut. I've had a fair look...

Hi figjam, Thank-you for your reply. I agree the extra 5mm should not be a problem, I but would really like the assurance that it isn't before splashing out on the new hoops and shoes. BTW- I have fitted the 17" RE003's to my VZ since they came out. Excellent...

Hello fellow forum members. I am seeking advise regarding the fitment of Simmons FR-C 18x8 rims for my VZ sedan. The car currently has FE-2 suspension with stock 17x8 +48et mags + 235/45/17 rubber. The simmons rims / tyres I wish to put on are 18x8 with 245/40/18 tyres. The simmons are only...

Hi Rambunctious, Thank-you for your very accurate account of this job. Many will appreciate the detail you have gone to when they need to do their antenna/mast. I ended up replacing the whole unit with an aftermarket one as the original is no longer available for my 05...

Eeeeeeeeeeebay VT-VZ specific antenna unit arrived today. Plugs and bracket are identical to an oem unit. At $52 it seems quite reasonable value, and it had all good reviews. Will be fitting it soon. Cheers and thanks for...

Yeah cheers mate, I get that now. The other special nut under the wheel arch will be me.

M'kay. I dont wanna pull it apart twice, so will take your advice. Cheers.

That's good advice and I will take it on board. Might not seem so but I did do a fair chunk of googling before asking the justcommodores fellas. Should have come here first to avoid the confusion...:confused: I tried to get an OEM unit from holden but the unit and the mast were discontinued/nil...

Thank-you for your reply Dave. Don't think I know your brother, so at least I now know how to attack it when I'm up for it. Cheers and thanks, Brad.

Thank-you for your kind reply Chrisp. I believe that must be the only way to do it it on the VZ. Cheers mate, Brad.

So I am gathering the unit must be removed either way? Unlike earlier models that you could replace the mast from outside.

Thanks fellas. I really only need/want to replace the mast. The OEM mast is discontinued, but aeropro do one for $30. Would probably replace the whole unit but I am recovering from a shoulder injury and not ready to tackle that option...

Hello forum members, I have searched the forums and online for specific information regards antenna mast and rope replacement on my VZ. (gotta wonder why it's called a "rope" eh?...) As per the pic below, I am guessing I have to remove the black plastic base grommet to access...

Thank-you for the tip. I have called salvage a few times over the last couple of months. Seem to always just miss out. Same with the guy at Currumbin. (story of my life eh, lol). Will call them again today to check...

Thanks for the link, nice wheel, but that ain't the one. The one I'm after looks like this - https://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/perfect-steering-wheel.JPG Hope I haven't broken any forum rules posting the link..

That's very generous of you sir. I will ring them on monday and post how I get on. Cheers mate!

Thank-you for your reply. An E3 Clubby sedan is where I tried this wheel and I have desired one for my SSV Walky ute ever since. Mine has the standard SSV wheel and I can only describe it as shite... Enjoy your Maloo mate, Cheers & thanks.

Hello forum members. I am seeking the part number for a VE HSV Clubsport steering wheel. (As fitted to R8 E series vehicles.) The wheel / part number I am looking for is for the HSV, not the HBD / HSVi / Walkinshaw wheel. I am thinking they are rare and probably now only available...
