    Coalition unveil their broadband and internet policy

    the NBN is the biggest con of all times. Regional areas will not be getting anything flash. Instead of cabling to areas that are not they are going to upgrade the sat feeds. In regional areas they may put fiber from local exchange to the home but due to the distance between towns the exchange...

    iPhone app

    the problem with opening up as web page is its not compatabile with mobile device. In other words it does not scale down or store your log in information. Have to keep loggin everytime from phone. would be good if the forum worked better with mobile browers. it is the year 2010 after all.

    vt/vx electrical shift kit

    they are not worth it. I had one on my old VS V6. did the best part of nothing. About the only difference was the trans pump made alot of noise. better of spending your money on upgraded servo's etc.

    Probably a dumb question about OTR CAI installation, but...

    i would do headers before OTR. OTR even with a tune will not give you much benefits. The reason why everyone says do headers, cats, exhaust, otr all in one hit is to save on retune costs. If i was you i would wait on the otr. Save some more coin do the full exhaust system. even without a...

    Hi all, I have a ls1 vx that has already been tuned. It is automatic. SInce the tune and several trans later i have never been happy the auto tune. Its hard for a tuner to get this stuff how you want. Since the new trans got built my shifts, pressure etc are all over the shot. Different...

    World Record Speeding Fine

    this does not happen very often but im with minux on this one. Just because i work hard and get paid well is no reason why i should get fined more. I am sick and tired of this whole system where the less you work and get paid means the more benifits you get. All those in favor of it...

    VT SS LS1 recent purchase, 240,000kms, parts replacement

    I would start with looking at the normal parts that wear out. Such as front and rear shocks/struts, front suspension rubbers especialy z bar front rubber very prone to fail. about all that would give you issue's on a car with that amount of Km's is suspension and if its a auto the trans. My...

    How Many Kms Will Motor Last

    those amount of km's are not high at all. one would think if looked after should get atleast 300,000kms from it. my ls1 has 215,000km's never misses a beat, never uses oil, plugs always come out clean. it carries around 400kg in the back of tools most days. worst i had go wrong is the dam auto

    you will have to get exhaust joing to fit it up then unless you are a handy with a welder or know someone that is. worth looking at on ebay for second hand complete system too.

    [B]VS Extractors[/B]

    depends on brands you buy. some will come with the y peice some will bolt to your existing y peice. when i had my vs v6 the headers i bought came with a new y peice that bolted to my cats. not sure if you have ever done headers on a v6 before but they can be tricky so maybe just get price of...

    there is many stealth type mods you can do to the V6, like said 2 hole mod, high ratio rockers, Mace do some other bits and peices such as intake insulators etc. check out mace website. also could look at a tune. maybe try your luck and put a good exhaust/extractors on. but they may draw the...

    corvette servo

    and you guys all forget to have a strong auto and be a true stage 2 you will need to upgrade your clutches, bands and shell. Just changing valve body and servos will wear your stock clutches and bands in no time at all. the killer for any box is heat, this is generated by slip. Stock...

    advice on changing diff ratios on my vt ss II 5.7lt

    i have auto ls1. i fitted few months back 3.7's. @ 100km/h sits on around 2,200 rpm. maybe bit under. I find its ok for highway. does use bit more juice on the highway though. If you dont do much highway i would go 3.9's but if you do alot of highway stick with the 3.7's. at 110km/h the revs get...

    Victorians beware - Operation Pipedown is coming

    i like to think my LS1 is not some piece of crap with droney pipes. It must be though since i got EPA notice last year. Minux you can have tunnel vision at times. Not all cars with loud exhaust are **** heaps. I have bolts on only good brand exhaust (defillipo system) and it is way over the...

    I'm in the process of getting yet again another auto rebuilt. The box just blew had all the normal upgrades (beast shell, wider bands, extra clutches etc..). The only part that wasnt done was the valve body or solonoids. The reason the auto place gave was no point due to the tune being...

    High octane fuel and the truth

    i can only go my experiences. put 91 in the wagon and the engine will ping and most likely not last long at all. put 98 in the wagon and no ping and performance is back. like most have said pinging is directly related to octane rating. so therefore if i use a lower octane fuel i get...

    High octane fuel and the truth

    guess my engine tuner is wrong when he said its tuned for premium. so the rules of higher octane and tuning is all wrong. i think the OP needs to walk into a good tuners workshop and tell them this. Think they will show you hundreds of dyno charts to prove otherwise. Also the LS1's...
