The only thing worthwhile to this thread is the suggestion to upgrade your alternator if you want to add a second battery. If you really want to talk **** about temperatures creating fluctuations in batt voltage go do it on a thread where it can supply help to someone that needs it. All he needs...

keep your vl diff in there or lying around as it helps if you want to put wide tyres on later down the track.

depending on what you want to do there's a few options. America has 100 times more of an aftermarket available for our 3.8ltr motors than we do. I have done some research on the grand nationals (3.0ltr SFI turbos). They have 1500+hp v6's over there! I am under the impression that the grand...

if you have a shift kit it can cause your engine light to flick on and off. The trans pressure is higher so it trips out the ecu.

ecotecs are great standard but talk to anyone that builds them tough and once you put decent kws through them the key is a series 2 vn block. Rods are too short in eco's. The entire motor was shortened and tucked in to fit in the Australian model vs and so on. I have seen one of the American...

i bought some msd coils (the three seperate vr ones). Didn't do **** all for performance. Maybe quietened the idle a bit and made it a bit smoother. One good benefit they have more than one coil inside so they last longer than the factory unit.

if you change the coils from single 3 stack to an individual setup you have to change the dfi cradle underneath to match up with it

yeh i had thought of doing this but my idea was a bit different. If you look at the difference between the vs and vt sc cai the vt though being smaller has an angled inlet. (the top plastic is further back towards the engine than the bottom). Now this might just be to compensate for the bonnet...

gen 3 manual vt is heavy, he wants a gen 3 in a lighter model. Hence giving him a better chance of getting to 12's. Personally im biased but go the turbo route. Everyone has v8's an turbo v6's raise a few eyebrows. plus petty aint cheap

chuck some Penrite HPR 50 in. I had a 5ltr Vn with some 230000 on the clock. The oil light used to do the same exact thing. HPR 50 is a thicker oil so it also fixed the cold start lifter noise i had.

I was an idiot. I listened to the CRS website and installed an SC14 supercharger kit without a tune. Had it working not too bad for about 9 months. I decided to get it dyno'd to find what i thought at the time was a fuel problem. The tuner found out my fuel pump was stuffed and he also gave me a...

how many kw's did they have? that looks pathetic sittin in a commodore bay...

if you pull out your grill the closest part of metal where the grill bolts up is where you want to bolt it. You just need some Z brackets for the top, if the condensor fan is in the way move the cooler down further obviously you would need longer brackets. Then you just need some straight...

Get your ecu checked for fault codes. If its electrical might pick up the problem.

So i guess you obviously haven't driven a VE leadsled yet??? The 1/4 mile times from factory for the VE Omega are a tenth of a second slower than the vn auto 1/4. (i believe omega's are only available in auto but correct me if im wrong). So by todays standards they might not have all of the...

explain to me how exactly you break one off??? Ou would need a mig welder. FMJ's have nob bolts that snap off so they can't be removed. They are a nice sturdy peice of steel...well mine is anyway. I couldn't see some scumbag theif snappin it off with a jimmy bar or n e thing. Also this...

you get what you pay for. If the engine has low kms on it then run something like 'penrite sin' (one of the best oils i've used) or just a castrol oil would be fine if you got high kms

sounds like your just running a bit rich. also depends if you were revving it while it started. Usually a little bit of fuel is pushed through your exhaust and it ignites. Not really a bad thing but if it keeps doing it either flush your injectors or get a new set...

mums got a AU falcon and they are definately nothing special. Back in the day when my vn was stock it would flog the AU. No doubt the straight 6 engines have heaps of potential in them but you can't dog out the commies. Commies look better sound better and are Australian made, i mean c'mon...

yeah its closed for comps, you can have a run down it on saturdays. Ring AIR if your so determined that its closed fully

give me a day my digital camera is on my dads bout and he's on the york peninsula. torana boy you r the true keyboard warrior , look at my posts compared to yours 629 vs 277.

hahaha 50 bucks every saturday for runs down AIR. Closed my ass.... shut up melbourne boys. I know what $ value for speed is but i know for a fact you don't have to spend 70k for a 11 second car. Im not victor bray but i'll still slam your doors

firstly i haven't been on here for ages and secondly i really don't care about this site anymore. i used to go on everyday but i realised when me and my mechanic were reading some posts that half the people on here are full of sh*t. i have nothing to prove to you air strike you are a nobody to...

nice one no sh*t:w00t:

Nice one a ****box vl is better than a grampa UC torana. Who said i was building a performance car. I work on them thats all....But your opinion helped me out so much. If your ever in adelaide feel free to challenge my ride gramps we'll see how YOU do....:rip: tori

Firstly your thick.... My car was modded before i bolted tha charger on, therefore the fuel ratio's were wrong so you get your hand off it....that is if you got something to put your hand on. Secondly you don't know anyhting about my car as i have not been on this forum for ages. Its not running...

My mistake but for 20k you would want your car to be runnin 11's or 10's otherwise you have wasted your cash. Its alot to spend on a vn.

i hate to say it but after goin through all that work to get rid of locks on doors and boot locks the thievin bastards are just going to smash your windows to get in. They don't care, they r scum. whenever u stop in a dodgy place take an ignition lead or 2 off n you will never have to miss your...

ok lets get this straight. I have worked on twin turbo setups on vp's a single turbo setup on a vn 3.8ltr. Your most important thing that you have missed is your cooling system. You are either going to need to stick an intercooler on her or get a good tuning specialist to fit and dyno test an...

If u want the best use Penrite 'Sin' no doubt.... even if u don't have a race bread engine you will feel the smoothness at idle and the response at throttle with 20w 50. I have used it since it came out 2 or 3 years ago. I will never turn back..

you'd probably want to consider rebuilding your engine depending on how many k's its done. My mate had a turbo kit on his 150k vn auto. The trans went, he blew his head and shot a piston out into his firewall. His engine was in good nick too so i would look at goin down this path before pushing...

nice work with pics an info much appreciated. Any extra info on supercharger setups on vn-vs would b very helpful

jack up you back end and take off your petrol cap side wheel. Look in and up and you can't miss it, looks like a small coke can with two lines goin into it

yeh but i apparently need an adjustable one for dyno tuning purposes. I am really starting to get f*cked off with crs as they do not reply to emails.

bump c'mon guys

I am having some problems with my s/c v6. I have had my charger on for a while now and ever since i got it, at times (light stops--->accelerating hard) she lurches forward like she is starving for fuel. I have heard that there is a part called a rising rate fuel regulator that can be installed...

tug alert!!!!

ok if he knows what hes talkin bout then why did he jus tell me that shock absorbers don't have oil inside them?? You want me to take a pic of them once i get them changed i will show u the oil spilling out of the shock absorber seals? Obviously he don't know what he's talking about.... I am...

Thats f*cked my mechanic says monroe r **** quality and this is a good example of that. I think i am goin to get monroe to pay pedders to install there shocks insted of monroes.n e wun remember the guy who started the threads name?

ok kb3800 no that is not first. remove your extractors from the engine so when u lift the engine u don't bend ur exhaust causing rattling noises. Then do the lifting. Will make it so much easier with the exhaust not connected. Lifting the trans is another good idea but not all mechs will do it...
