In answer to my own question... one is a direct positive and the other is a signal positive. They are grounded through the bolt hole.

I have some VS commodore coils and wanted to know what the two spade connectors under the bottom of the coil feed the coil (+/- etc) and which side is which. GM Coil Pack, 2 Tower Style - 8224 Looking to retrofit.

Nolathane front swaybar link pin kit fitted VP front and rear bumper painted Gloss Red (Didn't go with Maranello Red, this is darker and better gloss.) Front right headlight replaced I'll have letterbox grille, front bumper extension, vx hsv skirts, vp rear bar (might put the vx clubsport...

Omg the jesus bar.... I thought it was just amongst my group but it's everywhere!!!! Patrols are king of the jesus bar. If it's a 'drift' track for the dirt then 16" rims work wicked, however if its a bit boggy get a hold of some 215/65/15's. I had a pair on my R31 skyline for burnouts and they...

They just try to save costs with one rca cable... I had it happen so many times in mates cars who took them to 'reputable' shops. Alberts in WA is one dodgy place. I have seen them triple tek screw down a 2 gauge cable, after two months the hole and lug started getting rusty bits on it... and...

I don't know for sure, but I think poverty pack commodores didn't have rear speakers.

Thursday 26th March, 2009 - Went and had a look at colours to paint it... it's either going to be GMH Maranello Red, or Gloss black. I bought a tin of Holts Duplicolour Maranello Red and it turned out ok on the bumper to test.

Thanks, too expensive =( They can be had for $350ish locally... I'll just wait, I still have full suspension, interior and paintjob to do, however I have the money at any time to get the supercharger if it comes up.

It's manual... getting HD Exedy clutch kit, has 2.5" system... working out whether I want it turbo or supercharged before I buy extractors, and getting new suspension and springs for it. I bought the Nolathane HD Sway bar link pin kit today. Gotta go collect the new VP rear bar after work.

Yea, the internals is what I meant. That is wicked. $20 3.9:1 ratio diff upgrade....

Tuesday 24th March, 2009 - Picked up Front bumper support, VP rear bumper and RHS headlight

4 gauge is like 25mm or thereabouts 2 gauge about 35mm

Depends on what current you are drawing through it... What amp? I have an 1100wrms amp with 0 gauge inputs and run 95mm 00 gauge cable to it for minimal volt drop... however that is a bit overkill =) For a 600wrms and above amp I would recommend you run 2 gauge cable. Anything less should be...

You in Perth? I can make that plate, but the pulley looks like it could be a pain in the bum. And lining stuff up straight takes patience and I don't want NO mistakes... Does CRS sell just the mounting plates alone at all? Also, anyone know any wreckers in Perth with $300 SC14's? I'll ring...

Wicked, they pimp.

Well I promise when I do mine I will post exact dimensions and details... I currently have about $1000 per fortnight to spend on this project. Just paid off the bimmer and that's my income after rent and bills. I'll be seeing a $400 rego bill soon for the bimmer, but other than that I'll...

... and has anyone yet posted detail on bracket specifications anywhere?

Well 10psi seems to be the going thing... but I would be happier running about 8psi.

Ok I am thinking that is the way to go then…. SC14 for the ease of removal. I can run extractors with my 2.5” system and bolt on and off the SC14 if I get defected. I have a full workshop at my work to use including MIG, saw etc so fabricating parts isn’t a problem. The old man is a boilermaker...

Yea there was one last week $1300... not bad, but I am thinking a turbo conversion is going to be more economical. I can get an RB25 T3 Good for 200rwkw for $250 (don't want to rev it past 5500 anyway), manifolds would cost $200 max for me to do myself from stock flipped manifolds and already...

Hi I have the opportunity to buy an SC14 blower, however I am just wondering how different the mounting for this is on the Ecotec compared to the Buick? He has mentioned it was for a VS, however the shaft looks modified and I was wondering whether this will go on the VN. I guess I could chop it...

Thanks Mate.

So will an R31 diff physically fit in a VN, and give me 3.9:1 ratio, however be weaker?

No way.... head gaskets are ez pz in these cars?!!?

Ok Monday 23rd March, 2009 Painted front Bumper RED Still have to let it dry, hit it with another coat, buff it and see what it turns out like... and if I want this colour. I always wanted a hot red car with black trim, but had silver and black bimmers with chrome trim. Also some pics...

Really you are going to get the most bang for your buck with a turbo/supercharger conversion. However, rebuilding your engine I have seen the Buick 3.8's doing about ~140rwkw with good NA mods like that.... with boost on a stock motor you should be able to smack on 200rwkw stock internals. I...

I cut the complete section behind the rear seats on the bimmer out. Bolted subs in behind the seats and then amp rack behind that. You would have to remove the entire stereo, or know about that exact specific model of car to know it has been cut. I dunno about other states but in WA they just...

Undo VL Seat Should normally be four bolts fixing the rail to the bottom of the seat, remove this and install on the VN seat. Bolt to VL Floor..... ezpz.

$400 I woulda taken that straight away... I was google searching exhaust manifolds and read an old thread of yours..... exhaust wizzard anywhere to be found?

LSD diff Manual Steering wheel, upgraded seats? SC14/Turbo?

I had Nokia speakers in my E39 BMW factory fitment... you will find cheap pioneers shouldnt be as good SQ as VW/BMW/Merc factory speakers... however they should handle way more power.

Ok some pics after having it a week. Can't get too much done weekdays... but I try. So far... Last Sunday I bought the car. During the week and this weekend I have done: Engine oil flush with "Liqui-Moly" and re-fil with cheapo oil (20w50) - Won't be driving it, just starting it up once a...

Well It's time I posted up my project car which I bought last weekend. Car cost me $700, it's unregistered and is a 160,000km 1989 VN Series 1. $100 to tow it to my place. I wanted a manual car with a bit of oomph. I was thinking and still really wanted a VL, however the Buick(and Ecotec)...

Screw the disagreements, I have been involved in car audio for 11 years now and he is on the money with everything said there. In my bimmer I run a Century "High Performance" (Top of the Century range) N70Z (4WD Battery) and 0 gauge (85mm lugs) cable to my amp. The alternator is the factory...

Wow that is crazy.... I wanted to get the whole lot in chrome, however it seems I might have to get them from someone wrecking a car and paint them black.

Ball Joints,Tie rod ends & HD Sway Bar Link Rod & Bush kit this week. I'll do them next weekend. Car starts straight away, but a few things to iron out.... like it feeling like Im driving on rocks. Getting my commo rims on there tomorrow and I'll see if it's their dodgy rim bashed rims. Also the...

It's a bit tarnished on the right hand rear but after I cut it back some more I will be able to tell if it will buff out. The bonnet, boot and fenders polished up like a 160,000km car, very good. However, haven't paid much attention to the exterior yet, going to get it painted after. Bumper...

Turbo definately does... how you think RB25's are running around with 4" exhausts and minimal drone. You should be able to run turbo with hi-flow cat 3" exhaust large single good quality muffler and it would sound nice until you open it up.
