    A Couple of Problemo's? VS acclaim

    Hey TiTaN2 Can't say that i know what the problem is, but i think you've got the same problem that i have with my VS, which means you're not alone. :) Under full steering, it sounds rough and feels very heavy too.....and occasionally i get a nice loud BANG! noise when im close to...

    removing thingy in engine to gain performance

    OK, so by the sounds of things, removing it from the VS is not worthwhile....but would throttle response be improved by anychance (as mentioned in your post AirStrike)??

    removing thingy in engine to gain performance

    Sorry about the stupid sounding title, but i'm not sure how to say this. :( Was talking to a mate who said that where the intake pipe comes under the ecotec cover (as can be seen in image), there is a restrictive 'funnel' shaped tube which basically gets narrower and slows the airflow to the...

    HELP!!! 300kms per tank???

    Speaking of cracks, the mechanic at UltraTune told me my left exhaust manifold has a crack in it. Would this be a contributor to my poor fuel economy??? Also, what exactly is an exhaust manifold - same thing as extractors???

    Engine not starting when turning the key sometimes.

    when twisting the key (to turn it on), try holding down the unlock button on the remote..I had similar issues, and it turned out my battery in the remote was flat

    Removing Dash Cluster Out Of Dashboard?

    If you're talking about the black plastic surround, then yes.....the rest of it is simply clipped in. It'll pry out. Just run a screwdriver along it, and you'll find where its clipped it.....then simply pry those points out.

    VY dash in a VS?

    Well yes........as far as i can see, when you buy the wheel it comes with no airbag or airbag cover ('middle bit' :) )....there must be somewhere you could get one.. It'd look worse that the stock wheel like that !

    VY dash in a VS?

    Here's two of them: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39382&item=7928601406&rd=1 and http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39382&item=7929110581&rd=1 How would one go about getting an airbag + the middle bit?? would it cost heaps?

    VY dash in a VS?

    I'd agree with you on that one....... However, doing my usual scan of holden stuff on ebay, i came across a VY SS leather steering wheel. In the description, it said that it will NOT fit other models (was in big bold writing) Not sure if its true (maybe u could get some sort of kit), but i...

    VY dash in a VS?

    I guess in theory its possible (wiring etc), but i have no idea whether it'd actually fit properly - the shape and size of the thing might be completely wrong.....but like i said, i dunno. Slightly OT, what is the button under the lights switch on the upper-spec model VR/VS's?? My exec's just...

    Speed Alert in VS Equipe

    The top part of the dash has to be removed (black bit surrounding the unit / air con etc) To do this, lower the steering wheel to its lowest position, and maybe pull it out more if it helps you. There are two screws just above where the speedo sits.....unscrew them! Then the whole plastic...

    HSV Z Series

    I think the new range looks absolutely great. I've collected a fair bunch of pics, but was wondering if higher-res ones are available somewhere? >I'm particularly after this one, wallpaper res if possible :P Michael

    The Trip computer

    My mate's got a VR Berlina, and to active these 'hidden' functions, he holds down set and down buttons (if i remember correctly) before starting the car...this brings up a bunch of extra features from memory: -digital speedo -digital voltmeter -digital fuel level -diagnostics -fuel tank...

    Tripin'...

    not 100% sure, but i'd say that if it does get professionally installed (like in my case), they would have something they can connect to the computer and alter the reading to that of what it currently is

    Misaligned console

    As I discovered on the weekend, the AC button does infact light up! (all mine needed was a new globe, and it was fine I managed to get the dash almost pefect, so i'm happy with my work. All the lights now work properly. Replacing the AC button is probably the easiest part of the whole job...

    Misaligned console

    2_SeeK_U.....the air con works fine, its just that the bottom nob (for adjusting temperature) doesn't light up at night - the top nob and the slider bar are OK I think this will be the most difficult thing to play around with, if i have to remove the front cover of the a/c unit to get to the...

    Misaligned console

    I'll give it a go this weekend and see what happens. I also noticed that a few things don't light up at night: 1) Temperature control knob 2) A/C button - the light comes on when in use, but the actual "A/C" doesn't work. 3)Cig lighter 4)Power button - is there a light there? I'm...

    Misaligned console

    Hey ppl... I just bought my first car a couple of weeks ago (VS 1 Exec)....and have noticed that at the bottom of the centre console (where the vertical console meets the gearshifter..), there is quite a bit gap, with a number of screws being exposed. I've read through a few threads here...
