    headers... selection, ceramic coated or mild steel.. Help

    If $$ are a problem get the mild steel extractors. They will do the exact same job and if ceramic coated, they look the same as stainless. The stainless steel used in exhausts is quite a low quality grade due to high grade SS being quite brittle (Certainly doesn't like to be bent) and does rust...

    Recommended full Synthetic oil for LS1 162,000KM???

    I have heard using a fully synthetic oil in an engine that has always been run on mineral oil can cause oil leaks. Royal Purple is over rated IMHO. At any rate, use the search function as there are a multitude of threads that cover LS1 friendly oils.

    How often should my car see a mechanic?

    Depends how much maintenance you do yourself such as oil and filter changes. I have never taken my car ro a mechanic since new other than for dyno work.

    Yer pokie machines p ss me off too. Very anti-social machines that play on people's desperation or greed. Never used to have them at every pub but now they can't seem to live without them. Bloody disgrace! Also p sses me off when some f ker opens their car door and dings my car. How hard is...

    New member needing urgent help!!!!

    yes good point about syphoning through the dipstick. that's how we do it in big fishing boats as you can't get to the sump. Takes a while but works! Heaps cheaper than an engine rebuild.

    Maybe the relay for the thermo fan... at a stretch?

    New member needing urgent help!!!!

    Personally I wouldn't risk it but it should be ok to run it. I remember the bottle of engine flush I used saying not to stress the motor so I would not recommend towing anything or reving it above 3K just to be on the safe side. At least the engine will be extra clean on the inside when you...

    VZ 6L manual ss thunder

    Is the butterfly closing properly. Not getting any air leaks between the throttle body and the plenium? I would say reset the IAC solinoid but from memory they did away with it when fly by wire came about right?

    Vy s height?

    if they're ultra lows, the top of the guard is about level with the top of the tyre.

    Top secret: HSV VF-Series

    A turbocharged 4 would be more practical for GM's engine line up wouldn't it otherwise you run the risk of having a charged 6 that has a similar output as your na V8. It would keep all the tree hugging hippies happy...

    Love teasing other drivers at the traffic lights, see them blast off in a cloud of tyre spin thinking they're going to race me when the light goes green while I just take off normally. :P

    Radius Rod Bushes - VT

    It's a dead easy job. 5 bolts a side including the 19mm one in the middle. I'd suggest getting a wheel alignment after. I set mine to have 1 washer thickness less (thicker on the front) on the passengers side so the car tracks straight on the average road since most roads are angled towards the...

    Oil Pump needed?..

    is that when the engine is warmed up? What oil r u running? 10W30?
  36. HTV1900

    Oil Pump needed?..

    stock oil pump is plenty sufficient. High volume pump will only give you 18% volume increase and you won't need it with the mods you've planned.
