Are you it's the alternator itself that's dead? Check the continuity between the charge wire from the back of the alternator and the battery positive terminal. The wire in mine had burnt back through the loom a little bit.

Ok thanks heaps guys. Where is the TVS sensor on the block in the VK? I was thinking about just bypassing the sensor on the thermostat and running the line straight from the dizzy up to the carb. The only other question I have is that the carby side of the head....there is what looks like...

Hey guys, got a few questions regarding by Blue 3.3 in my VC wagon. I have got a new thermostat cover. The old one which is still on the car has a plastic tree (looks like the ones on the intake manifold). One hose goes from the distributor and then goes back to the carby (I'm assuming this...

ITEM: I'm wrecking a VP V6 auto with most parts available. Car ran well, was going to use the parts for a V6 conversion for my VC, but don't have the time to do it anymore. Most panels aren't very flash, but running gear is good. LOCATION: Bracken Ridge, Brisbane CONDITION: Used...

Hey all,just wondering if anybody else on here plays in a band? I play guitar,Gibson SG special and I play in a band called Battleaxe. Battleaxe | Facebook Post some links to your band!

Check out a band called Steel Panther there are a few videos on YouTube. FUNNY! Also anything by Tim Minchin.

It depends on what sort of oil you are using as well. Some garage brand oils which are mineral based require more. Most major small engine manufacturers such as Shindaiwa/Stihl etc have their own semi synthetic oils which are much better quality and therefore you can use less. As a general...

As the great Kevin Bloody Wilson once sang... Pull me pants down 'round me ankles shave me pubic hair, Grease me balls with old sump oil and chain me to a chair, Hoist me up on the workshop roof and turn the fire hose on, He's only the apprentice and we're only havin' fun. Then it's off...

What are the rocker covers on that engine? (not the supercharged one) They look awesome. I finally got my donor car (a VP) and I'm stripping at the moment haha

You can buy stainless overflow bottle that sits beside your radiator. You can't really notice it though because it's right against the radiator support panel. As for the washer bottle, I'm moving mine under the plenum cover. I'm gonna look around for a smaller bottle to fit in there.

I have a VC SL Wagon with the original. But it's not a tape player just a stereo tuner hahaha

Very nice. My old boy got a pov model VC not long ago with 48000 on it. I have a VK 5 speed box I will be offloading at some point if you're interested. I'm in Brisbane though. Look forward to seeing some progress pics!

Show me some pics of your engine bays! I'm keen on hearing where everybody has hidden things and tips on smoothing strut towers without cracking body filler. Pics would be great!

Looking good mate! I'm still paying off bills and waiting for my mate to sell me the donor car haha. Keep us posted on any new progress, can't wait to get mine started!

I am going to AC/DC on Saturday too, but its far from my first concert! A few things, there is no parking apart from disabled parking at the venue so unfortunately public transport it is. * Always have cash for drinks/food and merchandise as usually there are no ATMs and if there is then...

My VS was doing this and I found the radiator was cracked around where the top hose goes on. Just a hairline crack but when it got hot it pissed water out. Get your cooling system pressure tested and serviced/flushed. :-)

The CD has been in production for over a year and is still a while away from completion haha. Time and money is the limiting factor with recording things especially but I do have a home recording setup too so if you had some footage I could always whip something simple up haha. Let me know.

I'm James from the band Metallurgy. :-) I heard about Tim having wrist problems but apparently thats been coming for a long time :-( It would be interesting to see him just singing...be a lot like Dio I reckon haha...hopefully they come to Brisbane again soon, I want to support them again haha

When I started working in a hire shop a month after I go my licence the boss threw me in the deep end and said hook that trailer up you're going for a drive. After driving everyday with a trailer for a few months I was the best at reversing one in the place. Just remember if you're turning...

Check out my band. There is only one song up there and its an old recording but I'm sure we'd be keen haha. Metallurgy on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos We're recording our debut album at the moment, so more recordings will be available when their finished.

LORD are great, been a fan since the Dungeon days! Tell Andy he is a woman for me haha. I knew him before he moved to Sydney to join the band and my band played at his going away party :beer chug: My first concert was 'live' as well. I think it was the album 5 or something. Wasn't too bad I...

I play guitar. I write most of the music for my band and play bass and keys and drums badly haha. I haven't really got any pics of my gear but there is some live pics at Metallurgy on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos Gibson SG Marshall JCM900 100W head 4x12...

You could spend the same sort of money on putting a V6 in it and have similar power as standard. You could always leave the 202 in it while you're on your p's...do up the rest of the car and buy all the gear to put an 8 in it when you're off your p's. Rebuild it and tidy everything up so when...

Sorry to be a pain but I disagree with this. Everybody has opinions I guess. I don't know what that guy was thinking saying nobody who is good at guitar would be on this forum! I've been playing since I was 8 years old and I play in a working all originals band, and have tought on and off for...

I started playing when I was 8 and started on acoustic and HATED it. Then I got an electric for my 9th birthday and haven't looked back. I say go with an electric straight up. They are easier to play as the action is lower (strings are closer to the neck) and you find it easier to learn the...

Now thats a nice engine bay. Nice work! *claps*

Haha that shut everybody up. That's a great idea and I'll be employing that...however to get the right shape at the end I'll be pulling as much of it out as possible because I want as little bog in the engine bay as I can get away with. :-)

*facepalm* Why wouldn't you just do it the same way they fx hail damage and weld some little lugs on, heat it lightly and pull out on those. Toilet plunger? haha

I'm in Bracken Ridge in Brisbane.

Bog it?! No thanks. That'd crack and fall out before the engine was run in! I'll be pulling it out haha

Good to hear it went so well. I'm currently saving up some cash for a donor car for my VC wagon to do a V6/manual conversion. I'll be picking your brain a heap haha!

Hey all, I want to change the door locks in my VC wagon to the VK style ones. The VC have the button that pushes in from the top near the window to lock the door. These are very easy to break into with a piece of packing strap, so I was thinking of changing the locks to the VK style ones where...

Dad runs octane booster in his stock car. He is running a 250 crossflow with a stage 2 crow cam, holly carb and some head work. It is running a higher compression than standard as the head has been shaved. The engine is definately more responsive with the octane booster in.

Yeah this is from the Back to Earth series. It's a two part special they did. Apparently they are working on a new series next year. :D They don't actually get back to earth, though...you have to see it to figure it all out haha

Hahahaha I pissed myself laughing when I saw this episode.

Tampax has been confirmed as the new sponsor for the new south wales state of origin team. A sopkesperson from Tampax stated, "We are very proud to be the new sponsor for the blues, as helping a bunch a c**** through a bad period is what our company is all about".

There is a major traffic jam heading into Canberra. A bloke's window gets knocked on and the guy there says, 'terrorists have taken over parliament house. They are holding Kevin Rudd hostage and are demanding 10million dollars ransom or they will douse him in petrol and set him on fire. So we...

It won't be a complete stock engine, I'm just going to do the conversion first and get it engineered and rego'd before I do anything. Looking at V8 throttle body, cam and head work. See how we go I spose. Ceramic coating isn't actually that expensive. I was quoted around $300 for straight 6...
