hi all. i just bought a new car it's a: vs calais series 2 v6. the ecu is throwing codes Code 12 - System Pass (OK) Code 63 - LH Oxygen Sensor (O2) - No Signal Code 64 - LH Oxygen Sensor Lean (O2) Code 76 - Air/Fuel ratio variation between left and right banks i get around...

yeah dont run much boost at all. i wouldnt go above 6, without the knock sensor.

yeah, they are the same as the vlt brakes, they will bolt up straight away. no difference between vlt brakes and v8 brakes

what manual is it? mf5 or mx7?

yeah from under get a screw driver and force the latch open, easier if someone pushes down on the bonnet while you do this and then lifts it up with you have the latch open. look at another car with an open bonnet to see what i mean by the latch

ok ill share another way to change all the fluid, probably cheaper and use less oil than filling and dumping fillgin dumping and fillign again. drop the oil thats in the pan, take off the supply line that goes to the radiator (or your cooler) let that drip untill it stops, put the pan back on...

nah just get a second hand exhause and a used pair of extractors for somethgin like $350 out of the trading post that are all rusted. spend an afternoon cleaninf them up and painting them and then fit them or get them fitted. extractors and a peice of piss to fit and exhaust is a bit harder if...

i dont really like the buldge too much, the stato itself looks perfect. the VQ's are hot how they are. and especially lowered with tinted windows. maybe the arch flare looks alright but i wouldnt put it on. sort of looks odd not following on to the bumper... but thats my opinion. do...

you can turbo the na motor for about 1 grand but the manual transmission will blow as soon as you hit boost unl;ess you got the mx7 box (onw that came out with the turbo) auto will hold up with cooler and service. ebay will turbo your na for around 1 grand. you dont need a decompression plate...

yeah should be fine, just go down to your local auto joint and get some concentrate. might wanna flush your system first

yeah they look good, i imagine it will make a whole lot of difference the the bay look. does anyoen have a photo of their bay with them on? think ill convince 91_vn_lexcen to do his when he gets back

what compression do the VPs run? i wouldnt boost it much either way without lowering comp first. does the vp computer run a knock sensor? how much can the transmissions put up with a cooler attached? engine bay room and bonnet clearance (including piping) ability to run piping to...

yeah definitally worth it, give it a clean out and it'll be fine!

yeah it would just be worn out, get it reshimmed at the place that wryaza said he sounds to know the guy

yeah the skyline one will be a borg warner. if the vh diff is also then it will be fine. i think the diff is a borg one in the VH so in theory you should have no dramas, but remember you need to set the backlash and all that crap

yeah thats the one, just found it and came here to post it lol. sounds like it was running but dont know why the radiator was taken out, i PM'd the guy but the sites not working at the moment (for me anyway) so ill check back tomorrow for a reply. i really wanna get it. A SUN ROOF!!!

yeah i cant find him on calaisturbo either. i just want to find the guy and get in contact with him cos i wanna know about his car cos i wanna buy it off the guy on ebay, the guy on ebay god the car off him and is just sellign it, doesn't know much about it. does anyone know anything about...

sorry about this guys but i have searched quite a few different things tryign to track this car down but cant find it. i knwo i once saw a nice green vk that had an rb30 in it, it was a project and i dont think it was on the road. just wonderign if anyone knows where a thread on it is...

you will need aftermarket ignition because the rb25 head doesnt have a dizzy hole, im pretty sure anyway... they run coil packs i'm pretty sure

a cam is gonna cost you alot, and think about the price for someone to put it in for you, inlet manifold would probably be easier, not sure of gains involved. them get your carby re tuned Like CraigL304 said i wouldn't bother changing it, just a retune of it. not too sure on the dizzy...

not sure if they fit, maybe get them off and see if they match up with a sedan at the wreckers. just an idea, try fishing line, and slice through it. might have to use it like a sa, not sure. i think if you could get one there and power it, a hot air gun would make the job alot easier...

wrong thread mate, but for what its worth. try a wrecker, they'll have what you need. i have champiro 235s on the rear of my manual with LSD, ZK throttle body, 3" intake piping, extractors and 2.5" straight. don't know what time i am making as the car is on stands now but when i got it...

whoever said something about oil pressure is probably on the mark if its inconsistant... i'd say you have oil pressure problems. heres a way to find out if its inside the motor. drop the oil, catch it to reuse it whatever you want. go buy some really really thick kmart oil, put it in and...

yeah trace the cord, see what other treasures you find. keep us posted

another thread is askign the same question use 3/8 thats one weird problem your having...

yeah, make sure you get one with a padded centre... roady

yeah you should always have an af set, even a cheap one. comes in handy but you dont really newed a few, like 1/4 - 19mm 3/8 - usually do with a 10 unless tight of a soft grade fastner 9/16 - sometimes do with 15??? but you get what i mean if your a backyader, you dont need the whole AF...

the oil seal has ribs on it that help push any oil that gets past back into the box, but that only works when in a foreward gear, in reverse it does the opposite, if any oil gets past it spits it out, just do the rear seal $5, should be fine. but if the diff has moved heaps what sometimes...

i have the xf throttle body, extractors, 2.5" straight through, hi-flo cat. no cai tho manual and i got 104.5rwkw but that was on normal unledded that had been sittign in the tank for about 2 months, so if i put premium in and gave it a bit of a leaner tune before i put it on the dyno i...

did i helpout... if i did... thank you lol good to hear, its a bit of a tricky job isn't it. did you take the gearbox out without a hoist?

i dont know about a one peice pipe, the engine moves and rocks on its mounts and the air box doesnt, i think the silicon is a good idea. also!!! dont drive your car around with the r/cover breather hoses off, it will coat your engine bay in a film of oil... and i'd imagine very annoying to clean

yeah and the wiring for it is a bit tricky, how i did mine but thinking about it now you could probably just splice the wires from one of the headlights and run them to a relay then wires to the popups... if you are having trouble, PM me and ill go take a few photos and try and help you help...

yeah thats good and i wouldnt be suprised if it went more than that with the manual box. were you bouncing all over the place at 200? i got to 130 in mine and it was al over the shop but that was on a really shotty road. now i have lowered it and put better strut covers on, cant wait to see how...

AW GREAT!!! ill have to go and buy it tomorrow, GREAT NEWS thanks mate. all the vl turbos will be parked out the newsagency hahaha

hrmm thats is a bit weird... what do you mean by fluttering, can you describe it in a few words. the first thing that comes to mind is tension but if you think you've got that spot on... maybe, the gear isnt on tight enough, if that rings a bell, dont drive it, if that gear comes off your...

lieos is right, drums heat up much higher and faster than discs in normal driving so if its ok on that then it should be fine on the discs, but do as few coats as possible because the more you do the more likely it will come off, more coats means the more heat can soak into the paint. mark up...

yeah pretty good mate. my first time at changing some wheels was horrible! yeah only thing i noticed was the exhaust still under the car. nice work

yeah you might need a twin filament globe, it could be closing the parker circuit. it should be alright if its something like 60/40 but you dont want too much coolant because it needs water mixed with it to bring it to its best. if you don't add enough water it wont be long untill the coolant...

yeah i reckon the idea is good, but it'll just be all talk unless someone actually does something about it. i think it would push through easier if there were some stats on cost time and how long it would take. and i'm sure there are a few smarties on here that could help it on its way...

yeah i agree with whoever said something about small claims, it only costs you some 20 dollars and you will probably end up getting a bit of money back from the job. then get it fixed up with that money and have some left over. Good luck with it
