    Air Cleaner

    vac hoses are a bitch... can't really help you much on this... all I can say is good luck and have fun. Make sure you forget the old rule "If at first you don't succeed, hit it really hard!!!" This doesn't help... neither does getting frustrated and ripping the carby off and throwing it up...

    Your thoughts on removing V8 Supercar Wings

    leave the frills on! A SC is supposed to be tough, without them, it'll be like watching grandads church goer with a couple of stickers... WTF???? Also, while I'm ranting... I agree totally that the regulations are stupid... Release the whole thing to the manufacturers and then maybe we can...

    replacing ignition module on a VK

    This may come across as a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway... how do you replace the ignition module on a Black Carby 202 (VK)? please keep it pretty basic if possible as my head doesn't work quite as well as it used to... (scary thought considering I'm only 22)...Please help me!

    Automatic Versus Manual

    definatly go for the manual... I get boared in an auto... sadly for me, the wife couldn't drive manual to save herself... so in the interest of harmony (meaning that if i'm too drunk to drive home, she can't use the excuse that she can't drive my car) I have an auto...

    Fuel low warning

    I know that this is going to sound pretty crappy, but unfortunatly there is no other way to say it. The fuel system in the VY (and VX for that matter) is nowhere near up to the standard that it should be (in my opinion). There is a 7-15L reserve in the tank that you cannot get to as the fuel...

    LS1 into VH Commodore Wagon (Will it Fit)

    LS1 will fit after modification and a helluva lot of mucking around... sugest 308(5L) over 350 (5.7L/LS1) simply for ease of fitting... good kits and stuff can be bought from RLC Engine Reconditioners in Capalaba for both engines... the LS1 will be a tight fit and please tell me you are...

    Which fuel to use?...

    VK Boot leaking

    Hey guys... I'm sure that ive seen a thread about this before but I could not find it when I searched... Basically, my VK Berlina boot leaks... I've checked the boot seal, and it's not cracked or anything and it is stuck down well. I have had a mate in the boot with a torch and he could not...

    noise and headlights

    wheel bearings replaced... noise still there... although, I have found out that the noise is not only there while braking, it is there when driving slowly through carparks etc. I am thinking that it is possibly there all the time and I cannot hear it due to the roar of the engine... however...

    Re-painting wipers

    If you just wanna paint em black as they are originally, I use the cheap stuff from super cheap... Satin Black and a clear coat... does the trick... you may want to do a few coats and then it will resist fading for a decent while

    Link pin kits?

    These things will always crap out... with standard/genuine parts you can only expect to get about 40k out of them... In terms of the Super Pro Kit, I have no experience. I always found that you get a lot more life out of aftermarket Nylon bushes with as you said, the washer upside down. little...

    What does it mean when the horn beeps after i lock the car??

    Hey dude... I've seen this happen with locks before, as the other guys said its probabley that one of the locks isn't locking properly. It can either be because the snib button on the lock (the bit that you can see) isn't pushed in properly as "'97 Sen" said. Or it could be a connection onto...

    VK Dash Illumination

    Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to get the dash lights on my VK Berlina brighter, I know that this is normal, it just annoys the hell out of me thats all. also, the lights behind the a/c controls and the auto shift lights only work some of the time... any ideas...

    Servicing Cost

    Hey guys You are all talking about cars still in warranty... I know I have a VK, but I used to be a service advisor working for holden (up until about 9 months ago) and I know a number of the ins and outs. 1: to keep manufacturers warranty, all you need to do is go to a MTA registered...

    Which fuel to use?...

    I've used optimax before and it was great until one fill which was crap. I since found out that Optimax has a shelf life of about 1 month, so unless you fill up at a busy shell, you don't really know how old the fuel is. Vortex has a longer life and will also mean that if it is in your tank...

    vk help

    just a thought... now i may be stupid but did the original owner fit a kill switch? I had this problem with another car and found that they had fitted one in the cigarette lighter and it needed to be pushed in in order for the car to start... ? good luck with it

    Cigarette Lighter working

    hey dude... I had this exact problem with my baby... Only I was using it to light a smoke... I don't understand the hype about neons really... but hey thats just me... anyhoo, I found the problem to be the contacts in the chamber. If you look inside, there are two prong things (don't...

    black bonnets and boots

    if it makes the car a head turner... why not, however you don't want it to look like a dodgy beat up racer... coz when cars look like that, it's just sad to think that it was originally a beautiful commodore! also... I think that doing the boot is a bit much...

    V6 Conversion

    hey dude... My only recomendation would be that instead of putting in a VR engine, you may be best to put in a VP engine as it does not require adding wiring ect. for a BCM. You will need to swap the battery to the other side, and in terms of the A/C, is it already an 134a system, or is it...

    noise and headlights

    Cheers for the tips with the headlights guys! I'll have a play! In terms of the noise, I have already replaced all of the belts and the disks and pads. It seems to be coming from the LHF side of the car which as you know is where the PS pump is. Maybe I should replace it... however, the car...

    Which Commodore is the Best?

    VK Commodore's Rock A Commodore is meant to be a beefy car. One that the rest of the cars on the road should bow down to. It should instill fear while holding onto a sense of beauty. Off the factory floor, the VZ holds onto this mentality, however as with all new cars today, they are...
