    Need place a wire through the firewall. Where is the best place on driver side. Thank you in advance

    Have a look behind the brake booster. Only speaking for VF but being similar to VE it might be there. Carnt of a thing to get to.

    07GTS Build Thread

    5psi is a decent kick. Agreed it's annoying but better than having both running all the time. I get a 3psi kick when my 2nd 460 kicks in. I've been leaning at one of those aftermarket controllers to replace the hobbs switch on the 2nd pump. It can take a map signal and allow you to tune the...

    $95k VE Senator. S/charged by Walkinshaw for authenticity lol. I reckon he forgot to remove about $50k of covid inflation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1671124539793211/permalink/3597412873831025/?sale_post_id=3597412873831025

    Running E85

    You guys are getting farked over. Be nearly cheaper to buy it in 200L drums from BP soon the way that price is heading. Was $2.2xL last time I filled up a couple of weeks back out here in regional Vic. Might be worth ringing up the racetracks to see what they're charging. They're usually more...

    Running E85

    What's the power gain between 98 and e85 on a N/A LS? Reason I ask, it is considerably more expensive to run a car on e85. You're at around $2.20ish per litre then approx 30% higher fuel consumption on-top of that.

    cams and timing chains done! cylinders misfiring though.

    Check the workshop manual too. No experience on your model, but other ones I've done some bolt holes are open to water and oil passages. The manual will call out thread sealer for those ones.

    VF Series HUD Questions + More

    You also need the control switch module that is on the same trim piece as the head light switch. I don't have a definitive answer sorry. But if you're happy to burn some cash, $200 HUD, $200 switch module, $1000 windscreen (or insurance dodgy)... and a guesstimated $1000 in labour. She's a FULL...

    Holden Prices, are they too high?

    She's a good candidate for suspicion that the odo is rolled back.

    WAR is getting Close.

    Yeah, I'm selling some shares on Monday. Think International shares might be in for a few months of a downturn. I'm usually wrong with picking the international market, but you know, follow my gut.

    Installed battery backwards on a 2009 VE COMMODORE sedan

    Damn. First things first, you got to check ALL your fuses, and I mean every fuse. Replace what's blown and make a note of what device it was. Then go from there.

    07GTS said selector. I.e. Shift knob assembly, under the trim surround in the centre console.

    Engine noise. Balancer, lifter, other?

    Remove the oil filter, cut it open with tin snips (not a hacksaw or grinder). Methodically remove the filter material from the filter body. Fold it up nicely and press it in a vice to squeeze out ALL of the oil. Open up filter material and inspect. I would put money on it having bits of bearing...

    The starship had quite a few tiles missing :eek:. If it made it to re-entry it would have been interesting to see if it survived.

    Upgraded diff

    Just a word of warning with the stall, see if they can build it with lock up frictions that are designed for continuous slip. Obviously the slip is tuned out, but they make the engagement a lot smoother and is much easier to tune lock up overall which will save you a few trips back and forward...

    Upgraded diff

    IMHO I wouldn't bother. Presuming a "dime a dozen" aftermarket cam, a 2800 - 3500 stall will wake up the car considerably. If you're not smoking the tyres from a punch on the throttle in 3rd doing 40km/h, you will be with a stall :cool:

    Did you replace the converter with a high stall unit?

    SpaceX 2nd attempt to launch Starship

    Before I die one of my bucket list items is I want to be as close as allowed to hear and feel a big assed rocket launch in the flesh. They sound epic with a decent set of over-head head phones on (Sony XM3).
