    Modern chinese tyres?

    I had II's on, one delaminated while towing my boat, second one delaminated while towing my trailer. They don't like towing! They are also crazy dangerous in heavy rain, just a word of caution.

    How long do you let your car warm up before putting it under load?

    I don't know how bad your F/C is but I only use 1-1.4 L an hour on idle, with the aircon on.

    VE alloytec manifold

    Just do it yourself man, it's fairly easy, die grinder and a lot of bits for it. Just make sure you really really clean it good before refitting.

    I smile every time I drive it..

    In all honesty Holden AND ford are horrible manufacturers. The hell cats more powerful, any Cadillac is more comfortable. So on and so forth. Sure they're ok but they aren't even in the top ten manufacturers in my opinion.

    shocks need replacing

    Sachs have a great reputation in the motorbike world. Most of the euro bikes run them and they last longer then their Japanese counterparts.

    Changing ve v6 fuel pump unit

    I have the same problem, but mine is really bad when I fuel up, Evap solenoid maybe? And no matter hot or cold it vibrates the car, engine mount. -.- the list is big.

    hitting the 4k rev limiter

    Don't worry bout the princesses saying they don't sound good. What sounds good is a personal opinion, last I checked you didn't ask their opinion on it yet they felt the need to cry it from the rooftops. (Not enough attention as a kid maybe?) but yeah, if you just read and don't actually post on...

    VE Starter Motor

    The hardest part of working with/on or around cars is diagnosis, once that's done replacing parts is like playing with Lego. The broken part comes off, the new one goes on in reverse. Haven't had a look at a ve starter but I have no doubt there's two bolts holding it on and one will be easy...

    Thermostat location 3.6L Alloytec..?

    The air doesn't need to be bled from the system as the filler is the highest point, pour the stuff in wait 2-3 minutes and all done.

    Key Fob Window Down

    Weirdly enough the guy selling them asked to not have his email shown publicly, he's selling them on Facebook on the VE club pages.

    What do you carry in your car?

    General tool set, fuses, jumper leads, first aid kit, my tool belt ( 4-5 knifes in it Stanley knives through to a sticking knife ;), some water and condoms.

    What did you learn to drive in?

    What did you spend most of you learning life in? I imagine most of you it'd be older cars lacking in luxuries of power steering and air conditioners, I started with my father in law operating for a contracting mob hauling out. First ever drive was an ancient ford 5000, then an even worse fiat...

    Grinding camshaft for alloytec?

    go for cams man, 30kw increase is worth it, if you have half a brain you can install them easily with the loan tool. Or you could go through all the stress of selling your car for minimal $$ save for years OR sign your soul to a finance company to have a stock v8 and be broke, then have some...

    Well done that guy. GoPro on helmets win

    These days you're better off buying a helmet or goggles with inbuilt camera anyway.

    Well done that guy. GoPro on helmets win

    Well instead of a bare Helmet (3-7 sq cm) taking the impact it's the mount which varies anywhere from 1-5 sq cm, I'm not against it I agree with you and most helmets are incredibly strong but it's to cover their own ass.

    Natural selection works great until you have an Elderly person, sick child or disabled family member then you're the one trying to incorporate bullshit laws and schemes.

    Turbo kit prices.

    My local tuner is a joke, he'll get you 10-20% more power than any other shop, until your engine dies from running lean. I wouldn't trust him to tune my radio. I'll be driving to Gladstone to suss out my options.

    VE alloytec v6 auto kicks ford xr6 fg butt.

    I'm sorry you had to find out the hard way, if you don't own a v8 and your not a part of the high school clique you're going to get bagged for everything you post. 70% of the people on here are just assholes going on about trying to save the motoring community but the moment someone with less go...

    VE alloytec v6 auto kicks ford xr6 fg butt.

    My step brother was in his grandmothers fg limited edition n/a of course, I started leaving him behind. He's faster in his ba turbo but not until 70 and even then he doesn't loose me by much, I can supply videos of need be. Glad to see you guys still doing what you do best!

    Star Wars The Force Awakens Discussion (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

    Luke did successfully train kylo, Luke also knew to get to snoke kylo has to fein turning to the dark side to fully advance and kill snoke. Killing Han was one of the only ways he could find true anger AND prove he's turned. Pretty much the same with vader and Luke. I don't believe plageius is...

    Ve v6 headers/extractors question

    Sorry for the dig but if pacemaker has the O2 sensor in a similar position (distance from the ports) will I need to get the engine tuned?

    Ve ss turbo or charger? 07 model

    Keep in mind psi from a charger is different to a turbo, a lot more things break when the boost hits hard, as long as your 20-30% UNDER the max hp for the weakest component you should be fine. Don't think because you've got new rods rated at 800hp you should go to 800, stay 6-700 AT PEAK...

    2007 ve v6 auto flash tuned by oztrack

    My sv6 does 0-100 in 7.3-7.6 seconds, and as long as you don't over oil the filter AND let the excess drip off for 1/2 an hour it won't be a problem, if they were so bad how would they stay In business?

    Turbo kit prices.

    Thanks for the answers guys so far the only thing stopping me from whacking a turbo on my car is finding bigger injectors, is there a number I can check or any particular type of injector?

    Muslim children walk out when national anthem is sung

    And that's the way it should be! There isn't a generation on both my parents side that didn't go to war for a country they weren't native too, but weren't drafted, all voluntary.

    Muslim children walk out when national anthem is sung

    They're not breaking any laws but the showing total disrespect of the country and people that took them in, if they don't like singing the anthem then there's now connection between doing it and joy/happiness so they should be allowed to sing it.

    Muslim children walk out when national anthem is sung

    Fit in or #### off! I'm half kiwi and I've fully adopted the Australian lifestyle, (not that's there's much difference) but I'll sing the anthem, I'll stand up for this country and I'll go to war for this country. The reason they left their country is because it's a shithole torn open by...

    2007 ve v6 auto flash tuned by oztrack

    Obviously did a before and after but know that the alloytec is around 140-160 at the wheels I'd say it was well worth the money. Faster than a ba xr6t.

    VE SV6 Fuel Consumption...?

    A tank of e10 every now and then will only do good, I get between 7-900 k's to a tank half city and half highway. Around 4-7L's per 100 on the highway but 8-10 in town if I drive like a normal person.

    VE OMEGA V6 to SV6 engine conversion

    Depends what year both are, which model they both are, which sv6 engine it is, then it needs to be matched to everything your far better off paying more to get an as swap done.

    Hey mate I'm interested in putting a turbo in my alloytec, I've got a decent understanding of it all, oil feed/drain, inter cooler placing but how did you go about the manifolds? Did you flip them and get a y piece made or? I'd love to know who did the fab work for you?
