Hi guys. Got an interesting issue. I’m on my 3rd alternator and it’s causing issues. The battery charges normally at idle and on the gas but over 4500 rpm the voltage randomly drops just low enough to engage the alarm on the dash. 12.3 ish volts. I’m told is the regulator on the alternator...

Hi all, I couldn't find anyone directly talking about this. I am looking at buying a Manual VT Clubsport (love the shape) The driveshafts bolt straight on, My VZ has the rubbers in-between to give up first (making things a bit cheaper) im not sure if the VX has the same but does anyone know if...

Well my new part arrived and I have now installed it. Had to re-wire for a new plug and the old wiring was pretty messy so tidied that up. All seems well so far.

Thanks! That’s what I was hoping. I’ll get one in order tomorrow and we’ll find out!

Hi all, ive had a search through and couldn't find someone with the same issue. When driving a short distance (under 10min) say to the shops and back. When I turn the car back on at the shops it is telling me the temp is 126deg. Obviously this isn't the case on such a short drive. Engine is...

Yeah ok, the car has been a bit of a daily but is now for weekends and track days. I also offical for Targa Rally here in NZ so it gets a few good runs. Thats what Im thinking, if the gain for going full upgrade at $$$$$ isn't massive over just slotted rotors and some good pads (already...

Does the idle sit normally then drop right down then go back to normal before stalling?

check the spark plugs and leads, and maybe the throttle body for good measure? I don't think it would cause the issue you have but mine gets dirty sometimes. the gears sounds like your 4L60E is due for a rebuild. I did mine when I got my car and upgraded all the internals. its not super...

Sorry to bump and old thread but figured it was better than starting a new one. and all other threads are super old and not quite what I am looking for. Im due for new Rotors on the VZ LS1, do you guys think I am better to just upgrade the rotor to slotted and replace the brake lines to braided...

Well after getting a return hose from a VT commodore, I cut the end off, heated it up and flatted it to get the bolt off, put my bolt on, heated it again to get the required bend and fitted to the car. Now I have clearance and so far it appears to be working well! Massive thanks for your help...

Yeah I might have to look at doing that. Yeah the thread is an M18 x 1.5 which I thought was a bit odd. Sadly no one that makes AN fittings makes that size on a bend. I am just getting a return line from a wrecked car now and ill cut it and press the end in to make a hose tail like shape and...

Turns out they just sent me an AN6 piece not an M18 x 1.5 as required and I have been told (now that the cars in bits) they don't make what I need. Anyone know where I could buy a part? so frustrating

Yeah I checked with a friends car who has the same headers installed and he has a different model number for the right hand side that has a slightly different layout so I could possible have a left hand drive right hand header I guess... As far as I can tell the engine mounts are ok. Thanks...

HI all, has anyone else had issues with their headers rubbing on the power steering return line? I am onto my third setup in 4 weeks. My latest setup doesn't fit either unfortunately. I am running Coby Headers and they rub on the hose. Under load with a couple of hard gear changes seems to be...

Sorry to bump an old thread. Just serviced mine tonight on my VZ Calais and wanted to say thanks! Flippen awesome instructions and made it easy for me to follow. Saved me some coin tonight that's for sure!!

Hey guys Does anyone know or has anyone tried to have a trip computer (distance travelled since reset) via the OBD2? I'm officialling at a rally and want to make it easy for the co driver to see the distance we're into the stage (this isn't essential but would be nice) without having to buy a...

Hi Guys, I've had a bit of a search and can't seem to find anything. It may not be possible at all but is there anyway of making the needles do a full sweep when you turn the ignition on? Like the aston martins etc do. Heres a video to show what I mean. Any ideas? I have a feeling it may...
