The Plastic panel is there for sound reduction and aid in directing airflow IMO . Just going to do an oil change might even drill an access hole in the plastic

Funny I think that in a few years the next real step in performance cars will be electric with battery packs that will hold 3 times what a Tesla does . Battery pack prices have already dropped by 65%or more . Granted its not V8 but they will have bottom end grunt . If you could buy a car similar...

High fuel consumption must be very slow traffic . By the way lots of small cars have lose fuel figurers in slow traffic that's why european cars have stop start engines . I have a VF Calais wagon and in suburban driving its getting around 16 -17 litres /100 on LPG . Yes I converted it to LPG at...

Mate I put mine VF V Calais wagon V8 on LPG after 15,000 kms done nearly 60,000 now LOVE it . costs about $30-33 dollars for about 280 -300 kms around the suburbs . I would buy one again at a heartbeat . My son gets off his Green P Plates in 6months and is already looking at getting one . My...

Very happy with my conversion ,I started an earlier thread on this so you can look it up . I can get about 48-50 in the tank ,I think it depends on the pressure coming from the pump and how its set up and the cut off valve . Driving around non peak hour traffic the second last tank (after...

Has anyone had GMH update the navigation system as its pretty much out of date .It does not have some streets that have been there for decades ,under airports it does not list Sydney airport ! etc .

Got to say I love the HUD and it has saved me a speeding ticket already .Auto sensing wipers haven't been a problem ,Collison alert has had a few false alarms it adjustable but its great when using the cruise control on a freeway and a jerk pulling into my lane and then slowing ! . Enjoy the...

Sorry I haven't been on for a few days .I just sat mine there , Brian gave me the parts to put it on with cable ties but when I was fitting these I just sat it there and it looked ok . I will see how it goes and what it rubs etc on the weekend and let you know . I'm getting about 300 -320 Klm...

I have a VF , the only thing wrong with the electric parking brake is the location which is similar to where the factory electric window control is in my VZ . I and my wife have applied the brake thinking we are winding the drivers window down ! result grinding sound and it automatically...

Try 3 times it worked for me

Chookah you can look at my post V8 on log ,but answer you here Same system that HSV uses Cost about $4,000 Hard to tell as yet if there is much difference as different driving conditions but I suspect it will use about 10% more I cannot tell any difference in performance ,but hell I want to...

We will see with time what we get, but the 320 kms was from full to full for 47.74 litres , this compares to about 300 klm for 55 litre in my VZ wagon V6 factory dual fuel in similar situations ,so I pretty happy .My experience with the VZ is it uses about 10% more LPG than petrol, Ive got...

Ive got a Calais V sports wagon and its got sat nav so it may be the difference but just check .

VK 2him its the same as HSV use I think its Orbital autogas . Brian at NU Gas at Taren Point ( Sutherland Shire ) did it .He has a great reputation and has done work me ,my family and many people I know ,so I recommend him as do many people who have Gas cars . Give him a call I think it was...

I bought a demo VF Calais V V8 wagon from interstate with 1,315 KLM that had not been registered till I bought it I got it for $45,000 delivered to my door with three months interstate rego . The saving was well and truly worth it ,about 15% depreciation occurs as soon as you buy it . I would...

The grade of oil is the important thing GM recommend GF-5 5w-30 ,I used Penrite enviro+ full synthetic for what its worth ,pick some up when its on special at Supercheap . If you change your own oil like i do with most of my car and motorbikes. I drain the oil then put in about 1/2 to 1 cup of...

Well I've had the conversion done in the last couple of days so I must say it works perfect so far .It starts on petrol then switches to gas after 50 seconds without being able to detect it unlike my VZ factory one . Fuel economy is hard to judge so far only about 250 kms. Will keep you...
