Back in the day I had a VK with the first of the 4.9L . As stated above the tank pump is a pre pump for the mechanical pump. It should pump after ignition. Check relays and power. My electric failed and had the same problems.

My Steering played after the recall which was to seal the wiring in the rack unit. My steering became notchy and when cornering it would suddenly oversteer. Was dangerous to drive. Rack was replaced out of warranty after a few phone calls

Ok..... VVT Please keep us updated. What gains do you expect from this ? Also are you using EFI Live ?

Good Party Trick. I have used it a few times. Set the car in comp mode and have 1st gear selected with steering wheel straight. Punch it flat and wait a few secs. Engine will go to around 4200rpm and dump the clutch. Wheels will still spin but it is controlled. The kids think it is fun :)

Nulon make a 5w-30 Dexos oil.....Very good oil and made here is Aus. Hi-Tec oils also do the same.

Yes that is the same as the W310 one. Fits good and took me about half an hour to fit.

I have a VF SS Redline and after a lot of research i fitted a Walkinshaw pod filter over the OTR. The main reason is that i live in rural nsw and was worried about water and bug problems with an OTR. There are some very good POD filter designs coming out of the US for the SS and they claim the...

From past experience i was told that need to lock the car is this shuts down all systems. Plus you should recharge your battery on a battery charger as your car will never fully charge a flat battery by driving.

Make Nulon good value for money then.

Well i had the car serviced today at a total cost of $95.00. Labour was $66 filter $20.36 plus GST.

They told me it was a capped meaning that the service does normally cost more. I will let you know what they charge me.

My VF Redline is going in for a 15k in the morning. I am supplying my own Nulon 5w-30 as the dealer said they use Castrol 10w -30 WTF. All i can say is watch and ask before you have your car serviced. Pentrite has made a big push here is country NSW as have Gulf Western and Hi Tec. I personally...

Well worth it...... Reason why 1- Far superior brakes 2- Better suspension 3- Offset Rims with much more grip 4- Satnav 5- Sunroof 6- HUD I have just compared my redline to a HSV Gts . The redline has all the same offerings internal wise.

Hey Abba Fan, Can you supply rear mufflers to suit the above photo with the clamp type ?

Just wanting it to sound deeper

Well i have just gone over 3k on 4 weeks. 1- Pandora and Sticher a waste of time.... I use Tune In and link via Bluetooth 2- The auto wipers are pain. Only have to sneeze on the window 3- The wife is always in it.:blah blah:

[/URL][/IMG]Hello . Need some help with this. I was going to order some rear sports mufflers and was told that the rear mufflers are the same as a VE .Looking at the car it does not have a flange as such with two bolt holes and a gasket. Can anyone advise or has changed rears on a VF

Hey Gaz, What size and type of Catback did you fit ... the H and M pr Di Philipo .I have a Redline VF Manual and have already fitted the airbox and had a tune done. from what i understand fitting headers will not make much more than 10 KW . The airbox and tune made a huge diff.

My VF Redline has a full size spare . It is a front rim and will fit on the rear as they have the same rolling diameter only not as wide.

VF SS Redline compliance plate L77

My tuner was surprised when he looked at my VF ssv redline and said that they have more aggressive tune than the ve. Still the same power but how it is put to the wheels.

Locked up Everthing Hi I had a similar problem with the radio and sat nav. It locked up and I could not control the radio ect. Car was still drivable so I shut it down locked the car and walk away for 10 . came back and all is now working good. From what I understand there is a battery saver...

I am looking at getting the HSV airbox from the W310 and getting it tuned to suit on VF.

A GPS isnt 100% accurate,also car makers build in a margin in the speedo to show a higher reading on your speedo compared to your ground speed to avoid problems with people being booked.:)

if you want better engine braking u will need to lock it in a lower gear ie down a hill with it in power mode.

Hi, I had a torana with a 202,ACl Flat tops,yellow terra head and heatseeker stage 3 cam. Had a 2 barrell holly on it and found it to be crap.Fitted a twin stromie setup. The power was strong right through to 6000 rpm with good low to mid range power.

The shape of your intake port looks similar to a yella teera head i had. They used to cut out the port and place a new post in for your head bolt to run through. You are very lucky to score that

you will need to install hardened valve seats if you are going to run gas and have the Dizzy regragh due to higher compression

Try turning the ignition key on and off for a few seconds.Sometimes you can have a leaky fuel pressure regulator which can cause this symptom and doing thhis will make sure you have built up the correct pressure in the fuel system.If it continues to play up you have other problems.

Many Thanks for the info.I have been trying to find a workshop manual for VZ Ve with the alloytech but have had no luck.

Can Anyone tell me where the oil filter is located on the VE V6 Thanks.Also do you need any special tools to change

I use castrol edge 5w-30.Found it to be good and can get 15000km between changes on my VX in highway driving

Hi ,I am a mechanic in a country town where we hardly do heavey braking due to the nature of traffic.I have seen commodores such as vt to vz with up to 120 000 km on original pads.

Mate,If you want a basic setup for a daily driver and remain reliable have the block bored and fit a set of ACL Race Series Pistons as fitted to the HQ racers.Find a secondhand yella terra head and use a mild cam with extractors.This will give better throttle response and a gain in power over...
