EYY, Will a l67 top end bolt straight onto my motor? That's given me something to think about. If I did do that what would i need to do to get it to work? I assume I'll need a new computer to run the blower? Immortality, I definite will get one as it will be invaluable i think, just haven't...

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of researching how to install a camshaft myself in my V6 but I'm struggling to find any info on the process for the Ecotech's. I'm considering a stage 2 Mace Comp cam or going with a custom cam. So what is the process of removing the old cam and installing the...

Awesome advise Risky! Yeah if is see one that is in good condition then I won't be to fussed on color. Wow so what are we going to do in a few years when all the parts are exhausted?

Awesome thanks again guys!! I think I'll be getting a ute as at this stage in my life kids are a long way off and I don't have more than one passenger very often (only had people in the back of my VY 4 times in the last 6 months) and I think the extra stuff carrying capacity would be really...

Another question for you guys. Sedan or ute? What are the benefits of each? Also are there any models I should be wary of? I'm interested in VY's to VZ's but will look at VT's and VX's as well if they are any good? Also I've seen Vx Clubsports come up from time to time that seem pretty...

Thank you so much for the info everyone!! I think I'll definitely be going for a V8 now from what everyone has said :). I'll have a look at a few car yards on Monday and see what they have. I've found quite a few nice cars on gumtree with reasonable kms. I definitely want a manual as I really...

Thanks mate! Wow fuel isn't too bad then as I'm getting 11 1/2 average around town and 8 on the highways. I absolutely love my current car but every time I see or hear a V8 its like music to my ears. Had a ride in a FPV Falcon on Sunday and even though it was pretty much stock, I had the biggest...

Hi Guys So I'm in a real dilemma at the moment because I'm not sure if I should sell my VY V6 and upgrade to a V8 or keep it? The only reason why I'm thinking about selling it is because I'm not sure if its worth me putting any more money into it. I've spent heaps on this car and its nearly to...

The HD's are the same height as the SL's from what I was told when I ordered mine, they are just a stiffer spring so are well suited to the utes that carry loads. I've got the KHRL-46SL's on the front.

I've just put these exact same springs in my sedan and it sits at the same height as Sandman's ute does, just on legal. Very happy with them and would definitely recommend them :).

Ok sweet. Went with the 50mm lowered KYB's and king spring SL's for the front and HD's for the rear as that's what was recommended to drop the car 50mm. Should be here next week, can't wait to finally join the low riders :)

And the KYB's will take the Sl kings won't they?

Cheers man, I had a look on supercheaps website and it looks like they can get the KYB 50mm lowering setup ones. So are those the ones I'll need? They are nearly half the price of the monroes so can't complain about that :)

Hi I'm lowering my VY executive pretty soon and just wanted some opinions on shocks. I'd like to drop the car 38 - 50mm and by the sounds of it kingspring SL's will do that. So main thing is what shocks? I was going to go Monroe GTS's but after having a quick read about them I'm not so sure...

Cheers Sleepa :thumbsup:. Ok cool, have you got a heron white car as well? So 1ltr of each per side should be enough? I've got a decent HVLP gun and my compressor is 180ltrs a minute with a 40ltr tank so I might have to wait a few seconds for it to catch up again. I'll look at getting another...

Ok thanks Booster :). I'll have to see if there is a paint supply shop in Albany as its a fairly small town but there must be one somewhere. Your help is much appreciated :thumbsup:

So I took the trolley strips off the left hand side of my car (didn't realize it would be such a pain in the butt). So the paint underneath the strip was damaged so stupid me decided it would be ok to do a quick spray with a can of colour matched paint from SCA, well that was a bad idea. Now...

Very nice clean car man:thumbsup:. The VZ R8's look super tough, I'd like to get one eventually :).

For performance mods I reckon you've got it sorted, should be a sweat car when you get all that stuff done to it :). For cosmetic mods you could do the following. Seat covers. (You can get ones from Super cheap that fit the VY-VZ's perfectly, you will have to order them in though) Aftermarket...

I don't know if it applies to the Alloytec motors but I've got a 2 1/2" manta catback on my V6 VY and it sounds really good. Not a hint of that terrible ricer fart can noise. I researched this exhaust for quite a while and according to Not An Abba Fan its the only one that makes the Ecotec's...

Very nice Craig, she looks very straight. Its a bugger your having some problems already with it but hopefully its an easy fix.

Ok cheers Mody :). So that's all I need to make it work. Yes got a harness for it. Ok that would make sense. Thank you mate if I have anymore issues I'll let you know :)

So I bought a Kenwood DDX5015BT today to put into my VY. The unit worked great when I tested it but there is a problem. The aerial plug on the car and the one on the head unit don't fit together, the pin in the center on the cars plug is too small so it doesn't form a connection. I was wondering...

So I'm trying to decide whether or not to install a spoiler on my VY. I like the look of the spoilers but I also think lowered cars look good without them. I've got a mate that doesn't like his spoiler so if I decide to put one on I might see if he wants to swap boots. So what do you think looks...

Man this car is sweet! Very impressed by all the work and little details that you've done to the car :thumbsup:

Hey everyone. I was vinyl wrapping some stripes on the bonnet this afternoon and then the car sets off a warning chime, go to have a look and it came up with ABS fault. Tried turning the car over and it makes a sound like a rattle gun. Not turning over at all. So please help, only just got the...

Thanks for the info everyone. I've decided to just let the car run on regular for now, just so I can get a feel for the car first. Going to work on the car first and then I'll worry about fuel later :)

Ok cool. I plan on getting the car tuned soon so I'll get them to tune it to premium. The cleaner fuel is very appealing to me and if it makes things run smoother then I'm all for it. I don't intend to take this car to anywhere remote so I don't think that will be a problem, this will be purely...

Thanks guys. The car only has only done 95k. I'll give the premium a go and see if I see any difference. Will it take maybe a tank or two too see any difference in performance or should it be pretty noticeable?

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I really want to check with someone first. So I just got my first car, a 2003 VY ii Executive and its nearly due for its first fill up. I'm considering using premium over regular but will it cause any issues? So from reading this thread the main advantage...

The car looks great, what mods are you hoping to do to it?

Beautiful car man, just read through the whole thread. I hope I can get mine to be something like yours eventually :thumbsup:
