i use castrol LSX90, and i do it every 50-60,000KM along with a tranny service (my works VR V6 auto has turned over nearly 370,000KM on original motor and box. regular servicing leads to a happy car) DO NOT USE GULF WESTERN ULTRA CLEAR! I used to be a fan till it killed some final drives recently.

Just a note for anyone interested, I had a odd clunck in my old girl when turning and braking with a bit of force (VR V6 1995) and no one could find it (and it went every where) so I drove it over the pit at work and found suprise suprise, dodgy sway bar link pins BUT ALSO the rear engine mount...

O2 sensor wires melt from time to time killing the rail and blowing the ecu fuse,.... ive seen it several time now so jack her up and look for melted wires near the cat in a VR or up closer to the headers in a VS (check both sensors)

Nokia Vrs Every Other Brand The CK-1W doesn’t work well with non nokia smart phones (blackberry, O2 etc) the reason is the mic in the handset is going and the mic in the car kit is going at the same time!? the other drama is the mic being too close to the speaker (nokia recommends a min...

I know it sound silly but my VR had an aftermarket O2 sensor fitted to it when i got it,... a few wks latter the loom and plug fell onto the exhaust and melted through the lot! as the four conductors were exposed and the exhaust is grounded through the engine it blew a fuse (number 12 from...

reverse grid racing is a waste of time and money,... look at the damage yesterday,... larry has to fork out 28K to fix the JD car..... Pfft. they keep it up and i`m gunna stop watching it. it has turned a good series to CRAP! I went to SLEEP (YES THATS RIGHT SLEEP!) y-day cuz it was so god damn...

you starter motor will last hhhmmmm,.... alot less! an at $150+ for a reco is it worth it? and you wouldnt turn the car right off cuz the fuel system would cold start prime itself again (go from 36PSI to 45+PSI) you know that 3 sec buzz u get when u hit the key before u start the motor of a...

yep, use a little screw driver (smaller than the dia of the dowel pin) that holds it on and push the pin through. All that holds it in place is the interference fit between the molded holes in the pedal and the dia of the pin :) PS: Note how the spring goes in tho,.... the pedal is worth $3...

Oxygen sensors are avalable on flEBAY (universal 4 wire) for round $60 each inc. postage,.. just cut off you old plug and solder it onto the new sensor :-D worked for me and saved me from pay`n $120+ each from holden (car is back to over 500KM per tank) 95 VR V6 150,000Km on da clock

it says it in the gregories manual to get up under the car wid a bit of coat hanger and clean it out every now and then :-D

The O2 sensor is a DIY, if you dont get one with the right plug SOLDER the connections DO NOT twist or use CRIMPS!!! the reson is the resistance you may get will cause error in the reading and if ur after spot on fuel consumption u want an accurate reading right? I got an after market O2 sensor...

If your car is stone dead mother f**ka cold and u drive out the driveway and put ur boot into it hard for 5-10min then cum home and park it. The coolant in the block has gotten too hot before the thermostat opens (assuming the car is now stopped and there is no air flow), then it opens and the...

Note #1,.. The pipe from the water pump back to the block is the water pump bypass hose its used when the pressure in the pump gets to high (pump cavitates) so it pushes the water back through that little hose. The best way to change it take of the serpentine belt, take off the plug on the back...

the coolant temp sensor is under the alternator (gota take the belt off and undo the driver’s side alt. bolt) then there she is! the one with one connector is for the dash sensor and the one with the plug and circlip (two pin) is for the ECU. Mine cost me $17 and took a whole 20mins to fit...

you can get them on ebay now for VR VS, 600 clams! so i hope you rich! LOL

FIST OF ALL, a shout goes out to "markovr" cheers! NOW TO MY 10CENTS --> Don’t get confused, MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure. this is the sensor that measures VACCUME PRESSURE or load on the motor, MAT - Manifold Air Temperature. Measures the temp of the air going into the combustion chamber...

I found a related but kind of unrelated problem with my VR, the intermittent function was playing up, u`d tap to get one sweep and it would get half way then cut out (wipers arms at 90 degrees to the bonnet) then u`d tap it again and they would fold away??? I tested the switch (mine is an Equip...

oh yeah,.. i was just thinking back to my days in the sweat shop and remb`d,... if you have a vaccume leak check the carbon can. vaccume ball and plastic & rubber hoses that goto them,... i know i cant spell and its due to alcoholic liquid :-D "tis` the season!" if you dont know what an IAC...

I dont have a licence so Ive only done a single run with the gtech 1995 VR V6 auto , stock pipe and headers on 91 oct. fuel made 120Hp - 90KW anyone else have V6 Hp readings to compare to?

Just locks up the ability of your ECU to monitor the temp. of the air going into the combustion chamber,..... no harm done just pump`n more fuel in but as we all know fuel wont burn with out air so??? the colder the air the more dense it is so the ECU is programmed to shoot in more fuel to keep...
