Rule 1... :eek:

Recently replaced one of my keys with a $10 cheapy from ebay. Used the key blade and chip from my old one. Looks and works like brand new :D

Silly question but it has to be asked - are you hand tightening the wheel nuts so the rim is flush, then doing them up fully in the correct order (opposing sides)?

Because it comes from a different generation of car, you would still need to get engineering certs.

The air vents in my car get stuck on legs, restarting the car usually fixes the problem. I might give the vent relearn a go as well - what could possibly go wrong! o_O

Few weeks ago? This car will probably be in pieces by now, scattered around the country or already have a new owner overseas. Sucks that it was stolen :(

been a while since somebody posted their pic

China said they would back NK if USA started the war and back USA/SK if NK started the war - so I think Trump is trying to provoke NK into firing first. Simples.

Please double-check this list and make sure your friends are aware, there was a recent scandal about some dealers(svc dept) not alerting owners that their car is part of this recall.

Arent there rubber stops which you can screw/unscrew to move in or out and stop free play in the door? The bonnet definately has these, maybe the boot has them as well...

Handy tip – it will look like any other Commodore that has been lowered.

Sounds about right... It can be fixed but there's only one way you're going to get inside there... $$$$$$$$$$

Prices are on the page. Bare minimum with just the supercharger nothing else, you're probably looking at around $7k inc labour. Once you start ramping the pressures up you need to start looking at aftermarket fuel pumps, injectors, intercoolers etc.. things get rather pricey.

Once you're off your P plates check these out: VE V6 Vortech Supercharger Kits.

For those who haven't seen the drag race of the century... R33 Skyline vs Mobility scooter

Isn't it wired into the speakers or something like that?.. @greenacc is right, you will save a lot of hassle by fitting an aftermarket Bluetooth kit.

This guy might be able to help you:

Did a little digging and this is roughly what your VIN means. 6G1E = General Motors Australia K = SV6 (P= SS) 5 = Sedan E = Control letter V = (Perhaps colour code?) 4 = Series II (2 = series 1) b = Year of manufacture - 2011 L = Elizabeth manufacturing plant 578066 = Production number You...

Does it even have a fuse? I can't remember and my commodore is alllll the way out in my driveway to go and check... Replacing it may fix the instrument cluster briefly but it wouldn't solve what caused the fuse to break in the first place. It will just keep breaking again and again.

Considering practically all your gauges are out, my first step would be to remove the instrument cluster. Just have a checkers at the connections, make sure they're not oxidised and that the plug is in good condition. Give the connections a good clean, plug it back in and see how you go. I...

+1. Financers are total jerks when it comes to disposing of your car before it's paid out. They do this for a living, you're not the only one they've dug their claws into.

I almost hope that it's a sales flop, just to prove a point.

And that is why we always keep the original parts... Or have friends who can sign off these things ;)

Your car will be slower with fewer speed holes...

Answered your other topic brah.

I thought the VU was ALDL OBD1 o_O

That was a thing?..

Your best bet would be to get one from a wrecker.

Sounds like a good place to start. No need to replace them yet, just check for fouling and clearances - if they look fine then they probably are. While you're there, check your plug wires and make sure they're not brittle or damaged. Let us know how it goes and we'll keep troubleshooting.

They look like regular OBD-II codes but I'm not sure about the sub categories... P = Powertrain (Engine, Trans, Gearbox etc); 0 = Generic OBD code (global code, not manufacturer specific) 5 = Vehicle Speed Control / Idle Control System 20 = Engine Oil Pressure Sensor -> Switch Circuit...

It would be cheaper to smack yourself in the head with a hammer until you think it looks like a vf. That or just buy one for half the price of the dumbest car project in history.

A few rolls of duct tape should do it ;)

Dude your airbag may not inflate if you crash... The ECU is looking for two main fault conditions with the airbags - Either the airbag is showing zero resistance (there is a short circuit somewhere), or there is infinite resistance (the wire has a break). Off the top of my head it should be...

It's all witchcraft under the hood these days, if the car just idles rough all teh time or fluctuates it could be crappy plug wires, distributor, rotor, failing O2 sensor or even a sticking idle stabilizer valve - to name a few. If it only idles rough when it's cold, it could be a problem with...

Certainly spoils the airflow now ;)

So pretty much you bullied another kid because he was fat and wanted to be a cop...

Go for anything >/= series 2, they have usually worked out the kinks by then.

The plan was to run my SV6 into the ground, sell it for scrap and buy a new SS about 10 years from now, but after the v8 Commodore disappears there is really nothing left in the line-up that interests me. I'll stick with my home grown SV6 thanks, I'll buy a few donor cars when they're cheap...
