    Sedan to ute conversions - does anyone remember?

    I remember seeing a Hatchback Torrie turned into a ute before... It looked really cool !!! Also seen a VK Stepside 1 tonner and an EJ 4 Door Crewman... I liked the EJ the best.

    Ask the EX-Holden Technician

    Thanks for your prompt reply Bob ! I've just swapped the globes over with known good ones and fiddled with the brake switch and all is ok now! I checked out the BCM's they look different in each car. The VS II has an extra VDO box underneath part no#92043237 it has 1 yellow, 1 brown, 1 black...

    Ask the EX-Holden Technician

    Cruise Contrrol & Integrated LPG ? Hi Bob, I have just purchased an old VS Berlina with integrated IMPCO LPG. However I find the cruise doesn't work. I traced one fault to a broken wire on the stalk so I swapped the stalk off my Calais to see if that fixed the problem. After that I can hear...

    Possible Trading Post section re-vamp. Add your suggestions here

    Yeah I totally agree with that ! Splitting it up into different localities would make it easier to find whatever is available within a area. Also letting members delete their old forsale threads instead of being retentive would free up the forum of clutter. Aswell as making searches of the...

    Dumb things you've done working on a car?

    I made up a tool the other day to hold the crank balancer with while undoing the crank balancer bolt. I used an old motorbike clutch basket holding tool modified to suit. It had a 10mm round handle so I thought ok it should be strong enough. Then I proceeded to bend the handle like a piece of...

    Are machetes illegal??

    Legal to own? I don't know. But even if so, it is best to contact the Customs Office and ask them if it is a restricted item if you are buying it from ebay overseas. There are high penalties for trying to import restricted items without permission to do so (up to $275,000 fine , or up to 10...

    Comment my airbrushing :d

    I've tried using an airbrush with painting model kits to get a better finish than brushing paint and just getting straight even lines was hard enough...LOL. It's one thing to be able to draw or paint but to use an airbrush is another level of skill entirely... I reckon airbrushed pictures...

    fuel clogg issue ??

    Could be the fuel pump cutting out, loose wires to the fuel pump. Could be a dodgey fuel pressure regulator. Could also be other electrical faults. A chick on here with the username Norti had a fault with her VR v8 cutting out and I think from memory it turned out to be the distributor. Here...

    Anyone had/got a bad case of flu this winter ?

    Honey is good for it antibacterial properties. Though sometimes I eat to much of it and I end up feeling sicker. A drink I make uses 1/2 lemon or lime juice and a teaspoon of honey in a mug and added hot water. Also drinking black current juice helps because it's high in vitamins B and C...

    just got my blown head fixed......

    If a head gasket leaks near a head water port then the exhaust gases can get pumped into the cooling system every time the cylinder fires. After the cylinder has fired and sent hot gases into the coolant causing the coolant to boil, the coolant builds up pressure like a kettle, then as the...

    heads for ECOTEC V6

    If you fit those heads you'd have 12 injector holes instead of 6. So you would have to work out how you would plug 6 holes up. Supercharged heads have the injectors in the head, while eco-tecs have the injectors in the inlet manifolds. So you'd need another fuel rail also if you put the...
