Tyres firstly ... but not leaving out the fact are the shocks in good condition ? Tyre pressures correct? If the shocks are just stock (monroe) replacements with those springs (and please dont quote me on this) I was lead to believe that shocks should be matched (ie:sports shockers) to suit the...

Ill see if I can get a log file on here today or at least a screen shot . The O2's are bouncing around within range (not flatlining) , fuel status switches to Laccel/deccel(which im guessing is PE mode) from Closed loop , Im not getting any Knock retard apart from .8dg between shifting (which...

I wish I could post a screen shot on here but my lack of computer skills limits me at the moment I should say that the fact that the MAP reading with clutch in (mafless tune) seems odd

One thing that didnt make sense apart from the STFT with the exhaust leak was the MAP reading fluttered around 89 after the clutch was engaged straight after the "miss"/problem kicks in (effevtively idle but obviously still braking to a stop) the car was tuned in SD (so mafless) which is the...

I have HID's on mine and really are to bright for suburb use although work great at night/morning up and down the highway which is why I fitted them ... I like the set up on the above post though

Gday all ... So far I reckon I have shaved 10 yrs off my life trying to troublehoot this problem with my '06 SSV. Basically at WOT and heavy acceleration (about 60% TPS) and over 3000 RPM the engine developes a fairly rough miss, or at least to sounds like a miss especially with the extra...

Id like to know the same!! My head unfortunately came into contact with my qtr panel ... Right on the fold , its the only dent on the carand does my head in !!! And if you could PM me that number for the bloke in Melbourne please....

Mate if your interested in doing any of these type of "adjustments".... Id be having a look at either EFIlive or HPtuners website and really depending on what your really wanting to do make the decision of whether or not the $'s outlay is compared to what you may want to do in the future (but...

If your anywhere in between northern side of melbourne and Broadford happy to help ya mate ... I have a scanner if you need it ?..

Some (most) after market and stock tunes will and should disengage the A/C during certain rev ranges for power .. Although in answer to the original question Id say the clutches are buggered .. Local wreckers or a new one isn't all that expensive or overly difficult to replace .. If fused are...

Gday All.. Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue i'm having with as far as I can work out water leaking into the boot (spare wheel) compartment and eventually into the rear floor of the cabin? I have an after market calais small lip installed which I reckon is the culprit but before...

I recently pulled a tune file from my friends WH 2000 statesman LS1B 5.7(auto of course) with the view to tuning it for him a little bit in the future. Out of curiosity I compared that file to the stock file downloaded from holdencrazy. The differences in the tunes were fairly big. I can...

Yep it was , still reset the code that was thrown and double checked it with a quick run up the highway and all was good. We didn't even replace the leads in the end it seems it was just a crappy connection . But For the price of leads and plugs it wouldn't hurt to replace them .

Gday buddy .. My mate just bought a WH and has the same problem. Correct me if I'm wrong but driving at say 100kmh it slightly misses/surges at slight acceleration? I put it down to spark but I'm going to hook my EFI live up to it tomorrow to see what codes it throws and also do some data...

Head down to super cheap and get a basic hydraulic trolley jack and two stands. It'll be a very worthwhile investment , especially if you are going to continue servicing your car. Surprisingly mine has also earned me a slab or two a long the way when hiring them out to mates . But I stress...

If your in Metro Vic , your more than welcome to use my scan tool (at no charge of course) to get those codes.. might help ….might not?

Assumption correct …. I just also assumed that the spacing was correct for the changeover to his new rims … Even though mine are not standard 20's and require the spacer I wasn't exactly sure if our mates need them or not as his problem was very similar to mine ..

This maybe way off , but I know when I replaced the stock brakes on my VE SS I forgot to replace one of eccentric spacers for the mag wheels it also gave me an annoying shudder at around 70-100-kmh. Although I know you mentioned you had the super sport 20's (stock) but at a long shot do they...

Silly question , have you plugged a scanner in to see what codes come up ? ESP can MIL from about a million different sensors and even from a poor wheel alignment. If your in VIC your more than welcome to PM me and you can use ,my scanner to source and re -set those codes .. But checking what...

yeah bro I got the same unfortunately the L98 and E38 chomputer are a bastard to tune compared to the other LS series motors (due to lack of that combination apparently).. but in saying that and I'm no expert but having "zero" fault codes and "zero" dash lights is very achievable ..and very...

Definitely not driving lights … the local fuzz maybe taking notes …. in answer though could be as simple as a rooted relay … get a test light or multimeter and start from there, you should be able to at least trace whether its a ground (earth) problem either way .

Im sure there is PID in some brand of tuning software for that …lol

250 rwkw should be reached … excuse me for being slack for not going to your earlier posts but your running a L98 engine? But I suppose without taking it to a reputable tuner with dyno any figure in regards to power could be anywhere!.. The best thing about taking it to a good tuner with dyno is...

Ok…. Now I am happy to be corrected but … I suggest that it has not received a MAF less tune or it they have not done it correctly, simply removing the wire (I think its the purple one from memory) will bring up your P0102 code (circuit low input/disconnected). The other codes refer to 02...

Oh man I couldn't agree more .. there is no need to even remove the maf sensor wire to begin with? Its only an adjustment in the "MIL" table to disable it .. And do you know what those codes mean ? If not I'm happy to pass on what I can help you with brother !

I suppose its the age old problem where you can't please everybody all the time .. I know from my experience with my x-force and product support after the varex box died (not due to a defect in the product either) I am happy with mine after over 12 months with it installed on mine . As far as...

Gday all.. Righto after some pain staking repairs to my brothers car the power steering pump is still dying after a few days , all suspension components that were damaged have been replaced apart from steering rack… when I replaced the pump last after the repairs steering was fine and I...

Here , here….. top post buddy . I have a 3" force on mine with VCM headers and couldn't agree more… apparently the long version of the headers are better performance and better on the ear drums..

Thanks for the link reaper it was very interesting but also open to argument as well and I suppose as with a lot of us on here the cost and time in proving the fact that any modification made to any of our vehicles does not adversely affect the vehicle in accordance with the original...

The Maf can still be installed"physically" but simply disabled through your tuning software. As far as a basic road worthy is concerned I wasn't aware that EPA requirements were part of that , I know very well that you can be pinched for a non compliant vehicle as far emissions are concerned but...

I couldn't agree more …. best of luck and sometimes if your right its worth a fight ...

Reading through the Vicroads requirements as per there website … I personally think a lot of the so called defect/canaries that are handed out are simply based on the cops interpretation of what is actually legal and what isn't … the only ride height reference I saw was in regards to fuel tank...

As in I replied to the completely wrong thread … lol Its been one of them days.

If there is such a thing , I'm very interested

Ive seen a couple of them mounted just behind the drivers headrest in the tub… Unsure of the most direct route for running your coax would be to do that, but failing that you can always mount it on the gutter rail of the hood , the adaptors are pretty cheap available from places like Dick Smith...

Ill have another look cheers mate ..

Yep that was my first port of call before posting , but with no success

Gday All…. It may a stupid post , but to save my sanity can anyone help me with how to get the mount off the windscreen from the rear vision mirror. Ive looked for grub screws and other options but no luck .. I know its gonna be one of those easy answers that should have been obvious but...

Gday All … Recently looking for other info on tuning E38 Gen IV engines I stumbled across this link which I thought maybe helpful to other novice users of tuning kits like Efilive or Hp tuners . Not sure about some of the VE numbers quoted on there but like I said thought it might be worth...

Cheers conrod…. Didn't realise the figures were all that close . And yeah if you do find that article that'd be good thanks.
