Mine used to do that anywhere above about 80, took my wheels off and found that one wheel had been repaired and never re-balanced. If it's definitely not a wheel balance problem it'd most likely have to be rear of drivetrain - ie the centre bearing, diff, axles even maybe. Couldn't be anything...

Been a while since my last update! This is how she looks currently.

Looks good mate! I won't touch the back as I like it already, looks about the same height as yours already Front looks awesome though I reckon that's what I'll get if I do it!

They sure are! I was pretty pissed to say the least. I'd have no hope finding my way around Sydney lol. I loved it, I didn't want to get rid of it but I needed the space and the 11 year upgrade was a plus as well. Over here your typical VG-VS ute will sell for under $2k, nothing in that...

Thanks mate! My ute sold for $2500 which wasn't too bad for a 24 year old V6 I suppose. I loved that ute but I needed something with a bit more room for people since I'm still a full time student. Next step is to get my P's, I went for the test about a fortnight ago and failed on the spot...

That VY is what dreams are made of :love: thanks mate!

Hi guys, I bought a VY SII V6 with a factory getrag manual and when the car starts the whole thing seems to shake a bit. When the gearbox is in neutral and the clutch is out there is a rattling sound coming from the gearbox and it can be felt through the clutch pedal. When it is depressed...

I saw a VZ on some once, wasn't slammed at all and it still looked pretty good! If you could find that picture I would be forever grateful :whistling

Yeah I'm pretty happy I managed to score an SII as well, a few small features that I like over the SI. And being a 2003 SII it still only has one cat so it makes finding an exhaust easier and cheaper :yahoo: SS headlights and tail lights are also on the cards for sure but the Holden wreckers...

Hey guys! I recently purchased my second car, a 2003 VY Series 2 S pack, Ecotec V6 and factory manual. My first car was a '92 VP ute which can be seen here: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vn-vp-vg-vq/245512-my-1992-vp-s-ute.html It was like finding a needle in a haystack to get a...

She's been sold now to make way for my new VY! It had some new wheels on it too but I put the SS ones back on for the sale Here it is ready to be picked up on the day of sale:

Hey mate, Both double and single din units will fit a VT Commodore but you will need the suitable fascia kit for it to be done properly. I have heard of people sliding the unit in as is with a piece of foam or similar underneath which will work but will not look as professional or be as sturdy...

You said "Well you can keep the stock tweeters and run the coaxals or get components and disconnect the stock tweeters" so I assumed you meant just replace the door speakers and be done with it, that is all. I'm fully aware that I would use the stock speaker wire but what I'm asking is where do...

That's what I was thinking but you said otherwise before I understand how they work but where abouts in the vehicle does the wiring for the tweeter and the midrange meet up?

So I can buy a component set and replace the tweeters and door speakers and forget about the crossover? Is the capacitor for the tweeter actually inside the factory tweeter or in the wiring just before?

If I keep the stock tweeters and run coaxials aren't I technically running four tweeters in the front though? Doesn't the high range overpower the mid range then? Yeah the components come with crossovers but where does the factory wiring meet up for the tweeter and door speaker?

Awesome, I'd say the previous owners had fiddled and put the speakers out of balance. It's not very common that stock speakers on a stock head unit will fail. I recently purchased a VY S Pack with stock everything, I'll be doing my audio system all in one go but the main thing I dislike is the...

Hey mate, A VZ would have speakers in each door, the lower front of each door panel has a mesh part with a 6" speaker behind it. There are two tweeters in the top of either side of the dash also. The balance may be out on the head unit, if it's the stock head unit just press the volume button...

dashdown98 submitted a new Showcase Item: 2003 Holden Commodore Read more about this showcase item here...

Hey guys, I bought a VY S sedan last week and I've bought some two sets of Sony coaxials to upgrade the door speakers. I did some research today and found out they actually have a factory tweeter in the dash (oops) and wondered how they were wired up. I was wondering if the factory setup had a...

Hey guys, I'm wanting to install a subwoofer in my VP ute but I don't know which way to go. I think I'd like to have the sub in the cabin but I've seen ones in the fuel tank well and I'd like to know more about those too. Are they much more work to install? I've looked into slimlines to go...

Cheers guys. I should have specified, yes the fan does work - it was the first thing I checked. It's just not kicking in when the engine heats up. I had a play around with it the other day and I couldn't get it to work so I hooked it back up to a switch again. I checked everything with a test...

The best bet to narrowing down a leak is probably giving everything a good clean with degreaser or brake and parts cleaner and checking it after a day or two. If the oil filter was already used and then taken off, left for a while and then reused then that could be part of the problem. Since the...

Could be a contact issue with the key or similar, VS ignition barrels are prone to wearing out over time. I do also remember the wires for the starter being dodgy in the VX so it could pay to have a look at those too.

Cheers guys, I replaced the disc, and both the brake and handbrake assemblies were cooked and seized so replaced those too. Jacked the car up and put it in first and the wheel doesn't seem to spin straight so I'd say the only thing left is the axle. Anyone know the rough price going on one of those?

Hi guys, I had the rear brake pads changed in the VS V6 ute and around 3 weeks later the right rear started to squeak (hard to explain, more like a squeak and tap and rattle all in one) no matter what the speed. It goes away when braking and turning right. It's starting to do my head in and I...

Not the best I know but it still gives you a rough idea

So I found someone selling a set of VS V6 extractors (Bottom left of pic) My question is, are the auto and manual ones the same? I've done a bit of research but can't make any sense of it. If I get these will they bolt up to the existing Y-pipe? Should I need anything else to get it...

Finally got it back man!

Hey guys, I have a VP V6 and the thermo fan isn't working. I'm not an electronic whiz so hopefully someone can help me. When I got it, the fan was hooked up to a switch in the cabin because it wouldn't work, but I realised they had put a 4 pin relay where a 5 pin should be. (Cabin fan didn't...

Yeah cheers mate. I went to pick it up Monday from the bodyworks. The bumper turned out an awesome red, and the rest of the car looked terrible behind it. Ended up getting a full respray lol

My VP Ute is getting a complete respray and I need some mudflaps to protect the paintwork. I'm having trouble finding some decent ones, anyone know where I can get some?

Yeah I reckon they look good on most commodores from VN to VX. I have them on my VP and I quite like them.

I know this was ages ago but I did it lol

Had a play around with your car mate. Put some VT SS rims on it (I know they're pretty much stock for your car but I love them lol), tinted head and tail lights, lowered down to the ground, shaved handles, repeaters and badges too.

Awesome cheers mate I'll have a look tomorrow

That is awesome and I will probably have to steal your idea eventually! :beer chug:

My ride is a 1992 VP S Pack Ute. I bought it back in August last year, it's my first car and I learned to drive in it. :beer chug: When I bought it, I went all the way down to Hobart to get it. It was definitely not the prettiest thing. Pretty much the first thing I did was fix the...

Nice mate! The taillights on the wagon, are they just clear ones with red night shades on the reverse and indicators? They look awesome.
