Is it a hard job to do? Maybe its worth just getting an auto electrician to do it... I've never pulled apart an alternator.

Its a picture of a battery on the dash, and it comes on for roughly 1 minute every single time I start it...

Im wondering if there might be a problem with my new VS exec V6 5 spd. When I turn on the car, the battery light comes on for about 1 minute, then goes away. This basically happens every time I start the car, but always goes away. Any ideas on what might be the problem, and if I should worry...

Im half interested in the interior. Do you have any pics at all, or will you in the future?

Im in the market for a new car after I hit a telegraph pole in my VR (they put telegraph poles anywhere these days), just wondering on how the VL turbo goes compared to the VR V6 which I am used to? Im assuming it is a fair bit quicker, I just dont want anything slower than my VR, and I...

Thats strange, because Ive been in ba v8 and it wasnt slow at all. Maybe he wasnt trying, seriously those things are NOT slow.

My parents bought a car today, they ended up getting a 2005 (august) VZ SV6 with 40,000kms for $23,000. Cant wait to see it, Im glad they went the VZ, Im interested to see how this alloytec goes :D

Thanks guys, will pass on the word! :)

As the title says my parents are looking into buying a V6 S1 VY "S" commodore sedan auto. My dad asked me to check ask on here about any issues with these model cars and anything we should look out for when inspecting the car. I read the sticky thread about VY issues which kinda gives me a...

Sweet car man! Bet it sounds nice too.

I agree the exhaust does sound nice :D Specially with the pssstttttchhhhhhh hehe. That was st marys right? I go there nearly everyday since I goto uni in penrith. Hopefully one day Ill pass your car on the street :D

Yeah normal white plate, but obviously he chose the letter/number combo :P When hes off his P's I guess he could sell them or something lol :P

Nice car man! Those 20's suit it, and so does that front bar :) Doesnt look like theres much left to do to the exterior haha, except maybe paint the door handles?

UP4-XXX saw it a while ago on a random green car, made me laugh. Also SOSEXY, seen that around. Also one around the hawkesbury area, a guy on his P's, plates are USS-11E, but the P plate next to it makes it PUSS-11E, its classic :D

I did a similar thing about a month ago except it wrote the dang car off :( (Well kind of, I fixed it up myself to make it legal enough to drive, needed the transport temporarily). I have learned my lesson. Im surprised you guys are flaming this guy, yeh he did wrong and paid the price, but...

From what I've seen not all sony gear is bad, I tend to like their head units from my experience, their subs and speakers are not great though, which really gives them their bad name. Hell, even some of their amps can hit pretty hard. Either way though, I still wouldnt put any Sony gear in my...

Not sure, he said it was an electrical fault or something like that, so I dont think he had to take the gearbox off at all, or Im sure he would have charged me. Cant hurt to take it into a gearbox specialist or something :)

Nice install! However the components could be better I reckon. Hows it sound?

Mine did the same and it was the 3-2 solenoid, got it fixed for nothing cause I recently had some work done by the same bloke :D

To get it to sit right you need to drill out the stock bracket, have you done this at all? Just line it up to where it fits well, mark where to drill, secure it in, its not really that hard to do yourself. By far the hardest bit is the wiring, and if you have no trouble doing that then it...

Thanks man thats a really good explaination. Im weighing up a few options, I will go out looking for commodores either rolling shells or ones with stuffed motor/trans, see the costs etc, if it turns out it will still end up costing me thousands it would probably be a lot easier to just buy a...

Fusion for sure, in my opinion. Fusion subs sound nuts, very deep and loud, their amps also hammer. Dunno another their other gear though.

Knowing me it would take a week lol. Can you lift out the motor with the gearbox still bolted onto it, and just angle it so it comes straight out? Or do you have to unbolt the gearbox first? Could someone write up a quick explaination of whats involved, what to disconnect first, what to look...

I'd rather stick with a VR :P So you think it might not be worth messing around with an engine swap? Too hard/time consuming?

Ok, some of you may know that I crashed my VR recently ( http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/showthread.php?t=44231 ), I took it to the smash repairers yesterday to see what they thought, its not worth repairing, it would cost too much. Anyway, so Im weighing up ideas so I can actually get...

Which muffler is it? You dont get much sound from only changing the rear muffler aka resonator. Most of the sound comes from changing the middle muffler to a sports/hi flow one. Probly better off just going for a 2.5" catback exhaust with no resonator if you want some noise, plus you will get...

Oh and btw 89vncommy that shell on ebay looks like its in even worse condition than mine lol.

Yeah, well, after talking with my parents we have come up with this. They will loan me $3000, and I can sell my car as it is now. I dont know what its worth at all, but at least with the money I can buy a new car. I wanna stick with another commodore. How much do you think I could sell the...

Yeh the door doesnt shut properly, so Im thinking the chassis is twisted and not worth fixing. :( Seems such a shame, its mechanically fine.

Nah only third party cause insurance for me costed too much. Im only 18 and I goto uni cant afford jack. I dont know whats the best thing to do, Im gunna get it assessed and see how much it would cost to get fixed, if its basically a write off I guess Ill part it out or sell it as a wreck, its...

I wasnt going all that fast, it just had a lot of momentum in the swing of the ass end. I wasnt actually speeding, but like I said, a combination of a few things.

Got pics up. http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/449/image0231ne7.jpg http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/4233/image021cr4.jpg http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/2882/image0221sl4.jpg :rip:

I do admit it couldda been completely avoidable. I am blaming myself here for not going that little bit slower etc. Basically it was a combination of things, I approached the corner a little too quick and oversteered, then the back kicked out and I lost it. Lesson learnt, the hard way :(

DAMMIT, went out bowling with some friends the other night and on the way home I screwed up and when I turned a corner the rear shot out smashed into a telegraph pole. Completely wrecked the boot and the rear passenger quaterpanel or whatever it is. Also the passenger doors dont line up now...

Get someone to jump start you, if it turns over quickly its the battery, if its still slow its the starter motor?

I have the jaycar 6.5" splits in my car connected to an infinity amp putting plenty enough power, and to be honest they dont really sound that great. Even hearing them in the shops I didnt think they sounded good, but I assumed they'd sound better when installed properly, but nope. Heard some...

I'd guess more than $1800. Looks like the whole side is scraped up to the boot, you can see that it took off the side strips.

Ah cool. Very nice car, really caught my eye hehe. To be exact, seen you at the round-about just infront of Bligh Park.

The other day on my way to uni I passed a HOT looking VT in the Windsor area, number plates were "WILDVT". It was bright orange and looked like it had an intercooler on the front. Is there any info on this car on the net? Just wondering cause its a very cool looking car and Im interested to...
