So my VE has been in storage for 14 months now. I had to leave the country at short notice and was only supposed to be away for a few weeks, 2 countries and 14 months later, I finally have a confirmed return date. Thanks work! Priority number one is to get my wheels back on the road! As...

You can get something like this, 38A on the 12V (~450W) rail, will be more than powerful enough to run just about anything you throw at it! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HPS-850W-PC-Power-Supply-Quiet-ATX-Computer-Gaming-PSU-/290530740353?pt=AU_Components&hash=item43a4fb4881&_uhb=1 Being an el...

Nope, you're up for a new harness

The comments that I got from the engineers at Holden was "This is Holden mate, if they can save a couple of cents per car, they will" Their recommendation to me was to put the money towards a new set of front splits, even if they're el cheapo, they will give you a better result than putting in...

Just be careful when buying units advertised as ELM327. Quite often they're not ELM chips but rather fake PIC microcontrollers programmed to emulate the genuine ELM chips. ELMElectronics only ever released V1.3a V1.4b and V2.0 of these chips, anything else (v1.5) is fake

I'm guessing these are the M&H you're referring to http://www.mandhtires.com/

Unless I'm missing something: 18 + 4 does 40 not make?! Do you mean double your rim size + 4? I.e. 18 x 2 + 4?

Considering that the LC7i has an input impedance of 20kOhms, is it safe to use something along the lines of a shielded twisted pair Ethernet cable for as a signal wire from the head unit? I doubt that there will be anything more than a few milliamps with such a high input impedance, but I may be...

No dramas, will do! Thanks again! :-)

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm glad you like the setup, I know how much experience you have, your advice is golden! Thanks for the advice on the amp! I will make the change on my list. I've looked at the MM door speakers, they seem to be a bit harder to source. But I think I'll be happy...

So I've cobbled together the beginnings of what hopefully will be the system for my VE S2 SV6. The budget is between 1.5-2K and the main requirement of the build is that the car looks as stock as possible! The only exposed part of the system is going to be the amp and the preprocessor, but...

Discussed this with Holden Engineers, not worth the effort Mods please delete

Before I start, I understand what I'm proposing might not be everyone's cup of tea, but its the beginning of a project and I am just after some information to get started. I have read all 16 pages of the VE Speaker install thread and many other threads haven't found the answers to many of my...

Looking to get rid of the whole thing as I'm moving interstate/overseas for a new job and this thing has to go before December. Not in a position to have a parts car sitting in the driveway I AM flexible on price if you're interested. Also comes with a spare starter, tin or DeBeers J0164 paint...

Car is sold!

yeah I have a can of de beers J0164 Alaskan white sitting in the shed... just need to find someone with the facilities to spray 2-pak*. Otherwise find a clean white one and give it a good cut and polish and hope for the best

You guys are awesome! Thanks heaps. I have noted down all the additions to the list, now I need to start getting prices =] Thanks again guys!

So it seems that the rear welsh plugs are starting to go on my VP, so with almost 300,000k's on the clock I figure its time to head to the farm and spend a few days (and a few beers) with the boys and rip the engine and box out and give it a solid once over, replacing seals and everything else...

So I took my car for a drive for the first time in a few months the other day (bought a bike, ride it every day) and noticed today that there is a puddle of coolant where I parked it. I had a closer look and it seems to be coming from the back of the engine/gearbox and there is a spot of oil in...

Also, to my knowledge, an improperly secured battery can earn you a defect

I've done a couple of dual battery installs and u can say this: Use an isolator, without one your accessories will drain power from both batteries and if you're lucky, you have two lead acid bricks by the time your trip is up. If it's a one off thing and it's only a weekend or so, you can...

Autocad make a free CAD program called 123D cad, I use that for all my 3D printing work Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk 2

Monash is in Melbourne, sorry. I was riding to uni last week and someone in a commodore was turning in front of me, made it half way round the corner and all of a sudden there was lots of noise and the car stopped. The apparent solution was to rev the beans out of it. :-\ Sent from my...

A mate of mine was playing around with developing a current sensing circuit that you could attach to the motor wires to detect when the motor stalls for a remote auto window windup module. Not sure how far he got though, wouldn't be hard I don't imagine Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk 2

Did the happen outside Monash uni last week by any chance? Sent from my GT-I9100T using Tapatalk 2

That's... Not right. You might have a relay that's not opening when you turn off the ignition? The battery light is to indicate a fault with the charging system, usually that the voltage is too low. No idea why or how it would be on when the car isn't. Check your relays is my only guess? Sorry I...

So are you getting a battery when the car is off and the key is out or just when the car is on but the engine isn't running? (Key in the ignition before you turn it over to start?)

It'll be the globe behind the respective switches/under the gear shifter

Also, back on topic, I just picked up a 2 stage charger with float for $63 shipped (free express shipping in aus) on ebay. Just bought a bike so the car isn't going to see much love over summer. GL for the surgery

Trickle charging: Imagine you have a sink full of water with a leaky plug in the bottom. The sink is full but it'll slowly leak out over time through the hole. Now if we put a trickle of water flowing into the sink, topping it up as needed but not over filling, then we always have a full sink...

Thanks loads! Much appreciated!

That would make sense! I had a brief thought that it might be related to the cabin temp. Car was broken into a while ago and the ignition switch isn't in the best shape since. Hello eBay for a new switch! I will keep you posted on the results! Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to chase down an idea of where the earth points are on a VP V6. I managed to find this: but its for a V8, does anyone have one for a V6 or can anyone tell me where the block to chassis earth points are? I suspect that my starting issues are earth point related but I can't seem to find...

I thought it was heat soak too! Alas, it seems its not. The starter is brand spanking. Changed it on Wednesday last week and still having the same issue. Took it for an hour long drive on the FWY this evening and when I got home it started fine 30 seconds later. Yet this afternoon it left me...
