The flange is the outside of the diff, it has holes in it for the abs sensors. If youve got a vt diff or something, id just take the diff to a specialist and get them to fit a vp flange, its harder than it sounds. Make sure u tell them if uve got abs as it is different, to none abs. wot r u...

Hey i was just wondering if ne1 had made their own custom door trims and ran into ne trouble. Im tossin up whetha to make completely new mdf door skins or to just work on the old ones...if no ones gone the mdf way ill have a crack and post pictures and problems here:)

In Vic ur allowed to have wheels 2 inches bigger than the maximum specified on that model. eg. the biggest wheels on a vp were 17inch on the GTS and SENATOR, so ur allowed 19s on a vp

Uve gotta get a vp irs flange to rplace the vt/x one. then it will fit fine

I tried a VP V6 calais cluster in my vp v8 calais and the tacho didnt read right and the fuel usage was the same as what urs is. Is ur lvl 3 cluster out of an 8 or a 6? because i know for a fact that they are not compatible without getting a professional to calibrate them.

what rating battery did u use?

thanx for ur help, i think ill install a 1 farad cap (carefully dont worry) and see how it goes, thanx again

Hey, im not sayin u dont no ur stuff, cos u know alot more than me, but maybe every amp is different? My amp is 1 ohm capable, alternator has been rewound, both earths are now 4ga(yes the one from the battery to the chassis as well), ground point for amp is sweet(made the factory one bigger)...

are the buttons on either side plugged in? they do funny things when the buttons arent connected. when u start the car, let warm up a bit and rev it to 3000rpm, hold it there for 10 seconds, that resets the idle after having the battery off

No worries, i used capacitors as a bridge on tweeters, from the front wires on my headunit, 2 b honest i dont no if it did nething cos i didnt try em without the caps but they seem to make good sound now without distorting in lower frequencies. my headlights keep dimming, so i figure id slap a...

i know the difference, dont give me a lecture. Ive only used capacitors on a small scale for cutting frequencies and have never played with the big boys for coping with power drain.

HAHA thanks, yea ive got 4ga from my amp to my chassis, but the standard factory wire from my battery to my chassis, probably bout 10ga. Thanks, helped me relise the obvious:hit:

Dont worry i dont like to quote my MAX WATTS. Nah only 600w rms. I probably went overkill with 4g wire. Why do i need 2g earths?

SIKUNT in Traralgon, Vic. Must get defected alot

So u know how to install a cap? I think I need one, when the bass hits my headlights dim, mite just be a **** battery but i figure it cant be good on the cars electrics. If I bought a cap like this...

did u get the muffler with twin exits or single?

hey man fair go. Livin where there r corrugated tracks, I have seen beemers and jap crap basicaly fall apart, seriously bumpers and exhausts falling off the cars. Holden may not have the best build quality, but u can bet ur life every commodore will stand the test of time in aussie conditions...

*louder!!!

yeh thats wot i thought, they thought otherwise, but evry1 to their own. Mite give one of those REDBACK systems on ebay a go, but they dont make the IRS ones without a rear resonator, damn. Do u rekon one of those systems would b much loader than standard?

sweet, thanks for that. the 2.5 inch systems are cheap as aren't they? wot do u reckon are the best? I was at the bairnsdale drags and sum guys wer runnin 2 1/4 cos they reckoned it gave them good low end, one guy even have a twin 2 1/4 on a 355!

Just wondering about what the best exhaust is for a 5 litre. Seems to me, the cheapest way to do it would b 2 pull the rear resonator and slap on some pipe (little bit of bending for IRS). Considering the factory one has 1 cat, going into 2 mufflers in parallel and back into 1 muffler at the...

Hey Hozy, mad as parcel shelf! how thick was the mdf u used?

Hey, u know that the cluster has to be pushed all the way onto the rear lugs to work properly? I started mine without the cluster in and it just idled bad, sounded lumpy as... when u had the cluster out it probably rubbed on the rear lug contacts, shorting it out, second hand clusters r cheap on...

Hey, this is my dads new Gen4 SS, been drivin it on P's for a while now and no trouble!:whistling

the auto WILL NOT CHANGE BACK IF THE REVS ARE TOO HIGH anyway, dont tell me it will because i have a vp v8 and a vt v8 both autos and i can change either into 1st going 160 and it will go back through the gears and not hit the limiter at all. when upshifting it will hit the limiter in 1st and second

don't mean to dishearten u but that doesn't sound good. my mate has a 3.8 vp calais, i have an 8 exactly the same. his did that and it was the BCM or body control module behind the dash, water was leaking onto it through holes under the wiper motor. he took most of the dash out and got the hair...

monster matty, with little things like shift kits etc and braces for the chassis, most commodores could do over 300 without too much effort. sure, it would b hard to control without spoilers etc, (hsv ones r good enough they used to b done by TWR in pommy land) and just lower it, plonk a...

my dads ex-chaser vt does 237km/h max, but i think it might have a different diff rtio to stock cos my vp v8 does 252km/h with the digital speedo option

sweet, thanks for that, all works now. Had one upside down:driving:

hey, recently had my dash out to replace a heater coil, since putting the dash back in, my instrument cluster doesn't work. it shows odo and the background lights are on, even with no key in ingnition. Have i got one of the wiring blocks (that the cluster slides onto) upside down? Ne help would...

Hey, I have a VP Calais and its blown the heater core, hardcore. Coolant POURS out at my feet. I've already pulled the friggin dash out, can u tell me where to get one of the heater cored with rubber hoses attached?

alrite, is it water? or coolant leaking? if it is coolant, ur heater coil is blown. They r tempremental and it happened to my Vp Calais to. To fix it u have to remove the whole dash and a new one is $90

Sorry, dont know, but did u pull the dash out yourself? Ive got the same prob and its just plain annoying, I can see the heater core leaking coolant but have already pulled all the front off my dash trying to get to it :b:
