    Engine Upgrades

    Hey Guys, Just after some advice... I'm doing a whole heap of upgrades over the next few weeks, and already done a few. Basically the engine is an N/A VY V6 Ecotec. It already has cold air kit from Mace, plenum spacers, manifold insulators, upgraded intake gasket and a couple of other...

    Oil cooler location

    So in the new year I'm building a new V6 motor up... all the good fruit. Thought it's time to put an oil cooler on it and keep things under control. Has anyone run an oil cooler on a V6 motor, and where/how did you route the hoses through and how did you have it mounted?

    Advice on the next step?

    Hi Steve, and everyone else who may assist. I'm currently working out what my next step is for a few little mods to this VY V6. To give you a baseline on what is already done, and the state of the engine... it's an unopened VY V6 Ecotec with 250,000km on it. Full service history, oil...

    Thanks to the Mace Team

    I'm also going to throw my support out there for a great company. I'm a big believer in customer service and GOOD customer service retaining customers. I'd like to thank Steve for his support of this site, support in general, and for developing a great range of products. I recently made the...

    Can an admin/owner please PM Me

    It's nothing sinister... I simply work for one of the site sponsors and as such, created a username Rob@blahblahblah so that I could respond on a more personal level. Quite often, it's nice to feel like you're getting a reply from a real person rather than a business name. Anyway turns out...

    VE Steering Wheel - VY Commodore

    Firstly, does anyone know if the spline is the same? Looking pretty closely at them, it certainly looks like it is. I guess the next thing would be getting the clock springs and wiring for wheel controls to work. I'd be happy if the steering wheel controls did work, but not sad if they...

    [General] Changing Engine mounts ECOTEC V6 (THE EASY WAY)

    Old post dragged up I know... but thanks a heap for this post. It made life so much easier. Though I would suggest that a cheaper 15mm spanned bent to suit would be recommended as the low side nut on the top of the mount (drivers side) was a c**t to get. I had to use every bit of force I had on...

    Caster/ camber on vy

    Worn castor bushes will have an affect on turn in camber, but I can't see it having too big of an affect on overall camber. I would be thinking that like most cars in the VY sort of age, the strut top rubber bushes have compressed or are sagging and that could be having an affect on the camber...

    Ultimate handling for a VY S

    Oh and I got the weights for the Speedy Wheels in the Carbine... keep in mind it's a flow formed forged wheel, so it is lighter and stronger in construction. 17x7.5 - 7.306kg 18x8 - 8.536kg (weight for bare rim without tyre, valve or balancing weights) In comparison, the Team Dynamics wheels...

    Ultimate handling for a VY S

    With all due respect, I'd stick to SuperPro... the Nolathane stuff really isn't all it's cracked up to be, and isn't that much cheaper than the SuperPro stuff. Generally speaking the mounts that aren't being replaced with bushes on my list, are not being replaced because the factory mounts are...

    Ultimate handling for a VY S

    Hey guys, I currently have a 1 owner (I'm the 2nd owner) VY S. The thing has had everything it has ever needed done by an older owner who treated the thing better than his kids. I'm now looking to upgrade a few things that need doing, and throwing any coin I need to at getting the best...
