    VZ Execitive using oil 3.6 V6

    Is it normal for a VZ 3.6 (mine is an 06 model) to use some oil. I would say I am going through 500ml every 6000 to 7000 kms. It has 88,000 kms on the clock and has NO oil leaks. I am generally very happy with the car but this oil using is bugging me.

    any new turbo kits out for the 3.6L?

    VZ Commodore Gears Just got myself a VZ Commodore exec 3.6 and am very happy withit. But seems to be abit sluggish off the line compared to the old VS 3.8 .... it does wind out nicely. It seems that gears are very tall, has anyone tried say 3.45 ratio in a VZ, wondering how much of an...

    VT Lights on Dash "light up"

    Thanks for that. I did notice that the ABS light comes on 1st then all the others come on!! Will know what it is on THURS. I was reading in a VT manual that they had a problem in that area due to water leaking in through the plenum area.

    10 PSI upgrade without tune?

    I have run a 10psi pulley without a tune no problems. I always use 98 octane fuel. And have fitted a hsv exhaust. no other mods. There is an improvement in performance, but not massive. I tried a 12psi pulley for fun (no tune) with alittle octane boost and still no problems. but this time...

    Problem with my cruise control

    Wagon Man I have had a good read of my owners manual. Does not say any thing like yours. Just general stuff. But it is ridiculous that I can cruise in 4th and then I switch cruise on and it drops back to 3rd gear. With no change in road conditions.

    HSV Exhaust-- How Good??

    I have just fitted a HSV Clubsport exhaust to my supercharged six VT. Very happy with it, super quiet on Idle and cruise, with just a mild audible note on medium acceleration. And car feels as if it has more grunt. Good worthwile mod in my opinion.

    HSV Exhaust-- How Good??

    A Friend has told me that these Gen 3 hsv systems will fit a Supercharged 6 Just wanted to know if anyone knows much about them. Are they straight through systems (they dont look it) and would I get much improvement over a standard s/c 6 exhaust which are quite restrictive in my opinion...

    Will a Diff gear change increase HP

    If you go from a 3.08 ratio to a 3.7 will your Horse Power rating increase. Obviously HP at Flywheel will be the same, but will Rear Wheel HP increase. I am assuming it will but just thought i will ask.

    How Good is an Edit Tune

    I think I will get a MAF tune, with before and after dyno checks. Since I already have Pace makers , Twin 2.5 and MCAI. An other wierd thing I have noticed with my car (its an Auto) is that if you take off hard and the car changes into second, IT SEEMS TO BACK OFF A LITTLE then goes again...

    How Good is an Edit Tune

    Very Interesting, ShanghaiVZ Do it yourself?? What equipment do I need. Must admit though I mainly work on old Chrysler Stuff (Sorry). Hemi 6 and the odd 360. So is there hope for me to do it myself??? I am am bit worried that I may stuff up a 20K+ car.

    How Good is an Edit Tune

    I have just fitted Pacemakers and a split 2.5 exhaust on my VZ 5.7. I also have a MCAI which I got info for from this Forum , which helped my car no end. I recomend this mod unconditionally. Since I have put on the pacemakers the car has lost a touch of torque. My next step is an Edit tune...
