haha i wouldnt turn down an XR6 turbo... theres one gettin around town here thats had a little bit of work done on it, from what ive heard/seen its got a bigger turbo, bigger intercooler, BOV and most probably a tune of some description... sounds awesome and goes like the clappers... :)...

oh true... dammit. guess ill go get my money back off the bloke and just put FE2 in my car like i was going to do originally... cheers guys Josh

ohh ok.. so instead of being superlow, theyd sit low or FE2 height? cheers Josh

oh poo... so they will physically fit but will sit high or...?

bump... anyone?? i wanna put these in.... :(

this topic has come up a little bit and from what ive read, white D is for anything below 60km/h and blue D is for anything above ie. highway etc... basically white D is gears 1-3 blue D enables over drive (4th) cheers Josh

on ure dipstick theres a full line, then another line that says 'full hot' so either way u will get a pretty decent reading...

ok i finally got the actual model numbers for the springs i bought for my car. (VP Live Axle) the seller finally admitted that he had the springs that long and he couldnt actually remember which car they came out of. model numbers are: FRONT: KHFL-47 REAR: KHPR-24SL from what ive...

oh ok thanks soo much mate, the seller was gettin a bit anxious as to wether id actually front up the cash coz hes holding them for me... cheers heaps! ok so it will be pretty much the same as sedan springs, thats even better to know :) now i just gotta get my mate (who happens to be a...

just a guess, maybe when you were driving some grit and general sh!t thats under your bonnet went into your engine? my mate had sand in the pistons of his AU ute when he bought it, cost a fair bit to get fixed even though he got it under warranty... (the sand scraped clean scores through the...

yeah surely some1 knows, its just i dont think anyone is looking at this thread... dammit :(

quick bump. sorry for the triple post but im gettin anxious. the springs are off a live axle VR ute. should fit in my car yeh yeh?? :) thanks guys

my car smells like fuel when i fill it right up. but by right up i mean trickle fill until the petrol starts overflowing :-P every now and then i get a little whiff or petrol but not too often. im sure its nothing too serious mate :)

yeah true true. im playin around with ideas atm so ill keep that in mind. boot garnishes arent that much from the wreckers so ill have a muck around lol

yeah you can take the garnish off on VP's too, just have to be careful not to damage the number plate lights.. i think ill go find one at the wreckers, paint it, then see if i like it or not... painting it is no problem (dad was a painter for 25 years :-D) i might do the badge soonish then...

@ morton: i think the badge leaves holes when removed off memory... not really willing to try it just yet until i know for sure. ideally, i want to debadge my whole car.. i just cant be arsed doing it haha double post... my bad...

lol yerp its white.. like most haha. well i kno for a fact that the front grille looks good because theres one 2 houses down from me. ive seen a metallic green vp driving around with a colour coded boot garnish and i like it so i think i may aswell give it a go on my car. ill just buy one from a...

hey guys, just wondering what everyones thoughts are on colour coding the front grille and rear boot garnish on VP's. im definately doing it on the front grille but im half hearted about the boot garnish... if i do the boot garnish ill most probably tint the tail lights a little bit aswell...

bump. just found out the car that these springs REALLY came off of was a VR LIVE AXLE UTE. these should fit then??? can some1 get back to me ASAP so i can go buy these springs :) cheers Josh

yeah true... very true... i think they will... the suspension setup is the same from what i know. even my mechanic rekons they will be the same, aslong as they are both live axle...

bump. so i take it they will fit in the rear aswell.... poll shows i should put superlows all round?

yeah i meant in the back, because if u think about it, i have 2 sets of rears and my kings are going in the front either way...

yeah true... im a fan of the arches level or just covering the tyre... which do you think would sit lower??

ok heres my dilemma. im lowering my car because ive come across some cheap new springs and shockies. my car is a live axle sedan and ive been given a set of rear FE2 springs for nothing. i also came across a set of 4 super low king springs for a WAGON really cheap and i was wondering if they...

yeah VP's came out standard 127kw, im not sure bout the rwkw, probably a fair bit less... especially if its an auto like mine.. then u may aswell go ride a pig... cheers Josh

a friend of mine has his amp mounted under the front passenger seat. pm LOWAGZ (i think its him off memory) he has the amps mounted on either side of the car with a fancy solid wiring job, looks the goods :) cheers Josh

yeah true. ok dont quote me on this but from what ive been reading around here, pods are NOT illegal as long as they are fastened correctly, ie: not hanging loose in your engine bay, heat sheilds have nothing to do with it, they just give your pod a cooler pocket of air to draw into your...

try the wreckers, they are always your best friend for us VN/P owners, being old cars there's always a few at any given wreckers... cheers Josh

um mate i presume u mean CAI (cold air intake) instead of CIA (central intelligence agency) lol. well from what ive heard the standard VS CAI and a K&N panel filter is the best way to go for all round performance, pods suck hot air when sitting in traffic so they dont do wonders for you engine...

from what ive heard, the vn/p tacho pickup is a brown wire in your engine bay, passenger side off memory... dont have any idea about the VT sorry, hope that helps :) cheers Josh

cheers mate, i always hate it when my car plays up or makes weird little sounds... makes my heart jump lol cheers Josh

yeah my mates dad owns one of our local wreckers so little things like that i just get for free anyway... i ended up goin to motor traders and gettin a brand new one for $30 so im not complaining, the ones up at the wreckers were in pretty poor shape so im glad i grabbed a brand new one. car's...

yeah i pulled it all out last night, (being my first thing ive ever done to my car by myself) and the thermostat is jammed shut, dropped it in boiling water and she wont budge so theres the problem. now i hafta go and find a new thermo housing or just head down to the wreckers because i cracked...

ok no worries guys, cheers for the feedback. Im gonna go down and grab a thermostat today. Ive got a vague idea of how to check fault codes but i think ill be lazy and just head to the wreckers to grab a temp sensor. if that doesnt work burt_vn may be right and i might have blown a headgasket...

radiator was replaced 5000km ago so i doubt its that, the radiator hose isint tight so mm all things point towards thermo or temp sensor, hopefully either way its easy and not too costly to fix... cheers Josh

ok, pretty simple really, my car has been overheating for the last 2 days, at first i thought it was just because of the hot weather but tonight it overheated (temp needle sitting vertical) and the engine light came on. now, i managed to get it home all safe and sound. the coolant levels are...

my mate paid $570 for his burkleigh on his VT with a VT SS chrome tip.. no rear ressie... given the price, it sounds awesome but i dont know if id wanna pay that much... cheers Josh

those pics didnt turn out the best... dont really do my parkers justice, theyre LED ones which at night light up the whole headlight lense a nice deep green, along with my interior light... cheers Josh

sorry for the double post, but anyone got pics of a colour coded rear garnish?? ive seen it on a VN and it looks pretty kool, just wanna know how itd look on a VP. with the exhaust system, my mates dad is a burkleigh dealer so i can get a set of genie extractors + a burkleigh 2 1/2" exhaust...

ah ok so itd just be easier to replace my bearings along with the new rotors... got ya! yeah i know the shockies have to be shortened i just forgot to tell you that lol, so all i need is inserts, not the whole shortened strut assembly? because i was having a hunt around ebay and i can get 2x...
