    Coil strut compressor

    Yeah true, i'll start browsing videos when i get a chance, cheers. Issue just time consuming and difficult to clamp properly on the 4wd springs. Have a few to do and more in future so for the price of the bigger machines i think its worth it.

    Coil strut compressor

    Ah damn, picture didnt attach. Yeah, have a cheap set above- scary doing 4wd springs... Was more asking about the ones on the floor and which spring attachment style to go with. Will see if pic attaches this time;

    Best street tyres for boosted ls1

    Cheers, good read too. Have you ran these (non R compound)? I looked at the nt555r but all of the nitto r compounds dont suit my wheel size. I had dunlop sport maxx tt on the back of my ve ss ute, then went to pirelli cinutarto p1 which are quite cheap and their one of the best tyres i've...

    Running a worked and boosted vx clubby 392rwkw on safe tune, and this things out of control on the street. Really looking to find the stickiest steet legal tyre for the rears, so that cancels MT et streets. Have done a lot reading that has steered me away from true semi slicks, but have my eye...

    Playing CDs

    Ha, nah it's new S2... no CD drive. He spoke to the dealership after he bought it. Was hoping there was some patch/upgrade in software that could play a USB drive CD player like on laptops. Okay, I'll suss out S1 head unit or stacker options. Cheers guys

    Playing CDs

    Probably been discussed somewhere, but have been unable to find the answer. My uncle has a VF SS and I need an answer as to how he can play CDs through this thing. He has no internet/no computer/no smart phone (full country bumpkin) so he has now resorted to dropping past with a pile of CDs...

    [LS1] PCV issue.

    Mate, you've done that wrong. Have a look at the picture I uploaded (if it works). Those 2 rocket cover vents have to be joined, then vented back to behind the manifold via a PCV valve (which is earthed to the bolt on the block). I don't think there is a cheap option as I just went through this...

    weird oil leak

    I had similar looking oil markings in my WH LS1 and thought the worst, ended up being the PCV hose had perished that runs behind the top of the engine. It's the hose that goes from the rocket cover to the front manifold.

    oil catch can

    I have no experience in hooking up catch cans, but will be shortly... you sure this is the right way to install the lines? Only reason I ask is that I thought it would have been better to have vapours exiting the top, as there would be a chance oil could escape via the lower exit point back to...

    WH Stato LS1 - which pins to bridge on Fuel pump relay

    If there is, it certainly isn't obvious. Have been reading up on the net and people/workshops keep saying that the fuel pump relay need to be bridged to drain fuel (but don't say how), so guessing this is the only way. Cheers

    WH Stato LS1 - which pins to bridge on Fuel pump relay

    Hi all, Need to dump fuel in a WH Sato I just bought (been sitting for 3 years). I've read some good threads on this site on bridging fuel pump relays for other cars but not an LS1. Anyone know which pins to bridge so I don't short anything! Or maybe tell me how I can test which pins to bridge...

    headers... selection, ceramic coated or mild steel.. Help

    Nice one, thanks man. Just did their online quote and it came to $355. Competition Coatings in Coburg is a little more but closer, so might just get them done there. Cheers

    How to spend my tax!!!!!

    My mate had his VE GTS stroked/whipple charged when they first came out by Dale. He was wrapped with the quality of work. You posted up all the prices for the other workshops, so how does DPM compare? What CAM/gear is he using?

    VE Brakes Berlina upgrade

    Camaro Brembo brake upgrade on VE SS

    Haven't fitted. Pace performance in the US that sells kits etc told me to use the front shorter bolts and had pictures showing the difference. Looks like everyone uses the existing bolts for the rears

    I actually found him through another site (see below). He does these wheels on the side, so dropped them off at his house. The below thread link has his contact number Alby's Custom Powder Coating Service.. Pick up / delivery available - calaisturbo.com.au Cheers, Vanda.

    Camaro Brembo brake upgrade on VE SS

    It's not just insurance, it's the possibilty weakening that area if you don't drill perfectly... something i'm not prepared to mess with. See below, a lot of time saved for anyone looking into this with part numbers :) CTS-V 04-07: 1 X Front Caliper – 89047726 1 X Front Caliper –...

    Camaro Brembo brake upgrade on VE SS

    Yeah, i've done a bit of research on the pros/cons for this I I just went through it all. Just waiting on discs etc to arrive before fitting up. Re: rear brackets, you don't for the CTS-V. I'm pretty sure you don't for the chev calipers as the HSV rotor is expensive compared to what they can...

    Camaro Brembo brake upgrade on VE SS

    Uses same front redline discs in the GXP HSVs, and a VE HSV rear disc. Only mod is trimming rear dust shield as caliper is obviously bigger, and the pad needs to be trimmed (or you can go through GSLrally off here and have the pad trimmed 4mm for you for a little extra if using QFM pads)...

    Camaro Brembo brake upgrade on VE SS

    Yep, what VTSS350 said. Have you bought these yet? Look into 04-07 CTS-V calipers... they use 4 piston brembos which are direct fittment to the VE with no drilling out the knuckle. You should be able to get front and rear CTS-V calipers new delivered with all the required gear for around $850...

    Front end bottoms out somewhere

    Yeah, had a quick look a few months ago with nothing obvious, but the light wasn't too good at the time. Might do some hard breaking when the weathers good before taking a wheel off and checking it out properly. If anyone else has had this issue and knows where to be looking, feel free to let...

    Front end bottoms out somewhere

    I have a VE ute with coilovers and 20” VE GTS rims, and really happy how the car sits (and no, don’t want to wind the coilovers back up :)). The car seems to bottom out on something on very slow sudden dips when reversing out of my drive way or when the car dips under hard braking. Just...
