    Ratio on stock rockers???

    I'm selling my car (hopefully a guy I've got looking at it will buy it over the weekend), so they will no longer be of any use to me. So better off selling them then leaving them in my garage.

    Ratio on stock rockers???

    Does anyone know the ratio of the stock roller rockers for a VY? I've got a set of stock ones (including push rods) that I'm looking to sell and cannot remember the ratio of the stock rockers. If anyone is interested in these please let me know, I am selling these as I upgraded my car to a...

    air filters

    I didn't even know Lukey were doing filters when I first started buying my K&N's. But I basically like the idea that just give them a quick clean with the K&N cleaning fluid and your right to go again. I also liked the idea of the filter out lasting the car (possible a sale technique but hey)...

    Fuel gauge wrong?

    Have you tried this: When your driving (make sure there's no one else around!!) give the car a quick tug to the left then right, making sure to rock the car a bit. This will move the fuel around in your tank more then just usual driving. I've had a similar problem a couple of times where the...

    Converting exec from auto to manual

    Hey all, Anyone know what would be involved in converting an executive auto into a manual? e.g does the standard diff need to be changed when doing this? And possibly where I could pick up a T6 gearbox from? Cheers

    Pulled over, no fine. However cop said he was going to review video

    I had wondered what they would do if you said yes.... guessing they might get a bit rawled up and things might start to get a bit hectic (being pulled out of the car etc) lol.

    Pulled over, no fine. However cop said he was going to review video

    When the cop car was riding my ass I wasn't speeding. There was no car directly behind me when I was on the pacific hwy. It was only when I turned off then rounded the corner was the cop car tail gating me.

    Pulled over, no fine. However cop said he was going to review video

    My driving last night was a one off, I don't normally drive like that. That's why I stated "afterwards i was driving normally". I drive my car on track so that I don't do stupid shite on the road, last night was just a lapse on my behalf... A very stupid one at that!! In regards to the 60...

    Pulled over, no fine. However cop said he was going to review video

    Hey all, Just wanted to see other peoples views on what happened last night. Got pulled over by a cop saying I was speeding and driving recklessly. What happened was a cabby was in the middle lane doing 50k's and the left lane was ending a good 300-400 meters up ahead. I pulled into the left...

    Vy v6 rocker install

    I just installed some 1.97:1 ratio rockers over the weekend and my instructions were to torque them upto 11foot/pound (on a cold engine). If you want I can get the conversion to nm as my torque wrench has both measurements. Shame you live in mexico, we've got similar mods. would be nice to see...

    Rocker installation issues

    oh, and for some unknown reason the fuel gauge appears to be working now. After putting the car back together Tuesday I noticed that the fuel gauge was showing a reading this time. Turned the ignition on whilst holding "mode" and "set" and saw that it was reading how many liters are in the tank...

    Rocker installation issues

    I wish dude, when I called them about the noises etc I asked them about this and they said they do not take refunds! I've been told a few times now to go with yellaterra (just wish I knew this before hand :( ). Next car definitely. Anywho, back onto the noise issue. I had a look at the...

    Rocker installation issues

    spoke to them and they said that they do not recommend rockers over 1.9:1 for the VY's. would have been nice if they noted that on their parts pages, or payed attention to the comments section in the checkout process where I informed them that I have a bloody VY... sigh Anyway, they were...

    Rocker installation issues

    not sure if its a casting issue, as those 5/16"s push rods I bought are supposed to eliminate that issue (if present with the stock rods). 5/16"s Pushrods for FIT 1.97 Hybrid Rockers I didn't actually try the install with the stock rods, just installed the new ones when I installed the rockers

    Rocker installation issues

    Also, maybe a coincidence that this happened at the same time. After putting the engine back together and turning it on (according to instructions, e.g. give the engine a quick start - on off kinda thing, then back on and leave running till temperature warms) I noticed that the car is saying...

    Brake issues - pedal feels soft

    That is why I came on here and found a thread for replacing the brake pads... (which told me to open the bleed nipple and compress the pistons). It didn't tell me that if I left the bleed nipple open whilst taking off my G-Clamps air would get in my lines. I took the advice of people who know...

    Brake issues - pedal feels soft

    No, I believe after we pushed the pistons back we did not close the bleed valve before releasing the pressure on the pistons. Thanks guys, will bleed the lines over the weekend and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help Daz

    Brake issues - pedal feels soft

    "use proper tool or two spanners to put caliper back in place" Sorry what do you mean by this? Are you just talking about putting the calipers back on over the disc? Also as the new pads will almost always be thicker can you just push the calipers apart to fit the new pads without having to...
