    Bridgestone Tyres for VX Calais & Variatronic Steering Issues

    I have a set of the serenity plus on my girlfriends car (kia rio) so the results may vary as far as wear etc, however they've been fantastic so far. Absolutely fantastic wear characteristics.

    LS Exhaust Comparison Gold! HSV Headers vs Aftermarket Tri-Y's & 4-1's. What would you choose?

    On my car I went the Tri Y, metal cats and 2.5 cat back as I got the tri Y's at a good price off the old gumtree and built the system off the back of them really. After watching this video and in hindsight the 1 7/8" setup would be nice for that extra little bit but for the extra costs...

    Simmons Wheels

    Thanks for the replies gents. Like I said my main concern was the rivets and details on the face being tricky to clean around but I just googled your rims and they are far more intricate than either of the ones I posted so I should be sweet. Cheers.

    Simmons Wheels

    G'day, Hope this is the right section, I'm thinking of getting some new rims shortly for my ute which is a black 05 vz ssz. My question is to people with simmons wheels, how difficult are they to keep clean? I am a fan of them just unsure on maintenance with the many facets and most...

    Vz ecu swap

    Hey mate, I ended up sorting the issue and didn't end up doing the ecu swap. I had no luck with local mechanics or auto electricians and am an electrician myself so I ended up getting a layout of the ecu and associated modules, figured out the functions and did some testing of my own and...

    Buying LS1 Parts in US of A!

    Hey lads, not sure if i'm posting this in the right section or not but I thought this would be the best bet. I am taking a trip in around 8 weeks to the land of the free and home of the brave, good ol 'Merica. I was wondering if anyone on here has bought engine parts while in America and if it...

    Vz ecu swap

    Hey mate, thanks for your reply. I have contacted a few wreckers in the last few weeks with not a lot of success but really had a dig through gumtree and eBay last night and think I might’ve found a few manual ecu’s that may work. Cheers.

    New Rims For the VZ(Help Needed)

    No worries bud. I’m not clear on the setup of the suspension on the sedans vs ute (mine is a ute) but can only vouch for my experiences mate and I had no troubles at all on a wider rim than both the super sports and ssv’s. With the abover pictures they both look “roughly” the same height, I...

    New Rims For the VZ(Help Needed)

    Hey mate, I personally really like the super sports, I have a set of 20’s for my ute but thinking of swapping them for a set of supersports. My wheels are 8.5 inches wide with 225’s stretched on, +45 offset and I had no issues with the struts however once lowered will require guard rolling...

    Vz ecu swap

    Hey guys, So it appears that my ecu in my 2005 manual ssz ute is shagged. Any idea if an ecu from an automatic would work in my car? Not sure if the tuner/auto electrician can change the parameters through the scan tool. Having some drama tracking down a suitable replacement ecu but have...

    Comment by 'bigdealbaby' in item '$4000 SS Ute project.'

    Sounds good mate! looking forward to some updates. I have bought a vz ssz ute about 6 months ago that sounds like it came from a very similar situation! Black, sat for a long time, neglected etc. Have just started modding it slowly, buying my parts of gumtree, same as you (i lol'd at scumtree...

    Loud rattling/knocking sound

    My VZ ute has rattle at low rpm, mainly on acceleration but also on deceleration but not as much. Also around the 2000rpm mark Mechanic says its either the pilot bearing or the input shaft bearing on the gearbox. I'm taking it to a specialist gearbox repair shop over the next few days hopefully...
