    overheatring 304

    perhaps your problem lyes in a oil/coolant problem such as a head gasket? maybe thats to blame for your 'low' performance. the clutch fan should take care of things, with the motor running is it restricted at all & free spin?? could also be the waterpump does the coolant in the radiator...

    A KITTEN with two faces that meows out of both mouths at the same time has been born in Perth. The kitten was delivered in a vet's surgery after its mother had complications with the birth. The two-faced feline was one of three in a litter and appears to be doing well. It hasn't got a...

    charcoal cannister leaking

    i dont maybe someone else here can help with that, but for now as a test perhaps diagnose exactly where the fuel is coming from, does it only occur on long trips or can it be idling in the driveway and it happens?

    Why do people tail gate??

    help! oil pump problem

    if your oil pump is not working caudsing low oil pressure than the fuel pump will be disabled and your motor wont run at all. and yeah did you use proper white grease when installing the bearings in the bottom end? could it be a blocked pickup? what was it like when you took it out?

    I need help!!!!!

    clean out your throttle body and i.a.c, do a full service then do a comparisson, the vx is quicker overall versus the vn, but the vn will get it off the mark because its less refined and lighter.

    Many different questions about V6 S1 VN

    your not looked at as a **** stirrer crazy biker but if a xr6 turbo is worn to the craphouse enough to slow it down noticebly performance wise than of course you could beat him. In saying my bog stock commodore can beat a ferrari.....if it was running like crap.

    Why do people tail gate??

    The answers simple, because people want you (the guy being tailgated) to go faster, i think its tupid though when people sit in the right hand lane doing 5 kays under the limit when theres cars in the left lane doing the exactl same speed, these people dont even relise what there doing is...

    Wheel nut bolts.

    you only stuff it up if you have bad aim with a hammer, same with bashig out your lowerball joints and tierod ends. the bolt on the end is more like a set of training wheels for your bike :)

    Many different questions about V6 S1 VN

    my mate has a non turbo xr6 with a turbo badge on the bacl, he says 'it confses people & they think i have a turbo ', it probably confised you as well. a xr6 turbo will do a 5.5 0-100lm/h with the right driver and a 14 second flat pass your vn v6 will not do that and i can guarantee it.

    How low can you go? (fuel economy)

    a good tip for auto drivers, around town keep the shifter in 3rd gear, it gives you a better reponsive rev-up ability versus being in fourth and lowers fuel consumption a bit if driven sensibly.

    Tyre trouble

    new shocks are the main key, even ones that were alright with smaller wheels can show their age after you put wider/bigger rims/tyres on.

    K&N Filter Oiling

    after every oil it shouldnt be dripping at all, what i usally do is clean it, spray one fine coat onto the filter, let it sit for half an hour, then do another light coat, let it sit, then any spots which arent red i quickly patch it up, theres no need to put that much oil onto a K&N

    charcoal cannister leaking

    when the fuel tank got out in theres a good chance you have kinked the lines causing a blockage and excess pressure, leading to the overflow line (to charcoal canister) You do mean breatyher hoses above the fuel tank or do you mean the hoses going from charcoal cansiter-throttle body?

    Ford to Keep the I6 Beyond 2010?

    The ford inline 6 is a great motor so i see why they have decided to re engineer it, plus it means no job loss so another good outcome. pitty the holden plant is shutting down, so will all og our motors come from overseas direct or what? holden must be pretty broke to consider that option, along...

    Many different questions about V6 S1 VN

    driver experience, car condition and whether people are racing are differant factors to consider if it was the same driver, same driving technique on a v6& v8 thats in good condition the v8 will always win despite the v8 weighs an extra 100 kilos over the v6. There would be a very limited...

    couple questions about vt diff and springs

    Even stock you can get premature tyre wear if you have a heavy load in the rear all/some of the time and they are worth it on any lowered spring combo other than the stock size. Is there evidence around the bottom of the diff indicating a leak? id just takethe cover off, give it a good clean...

    How big can brakes go before changing booster and master

    The vt brake upgrade has 2 pistons per front side versus the vn-vs having only 1 so i would imagine thats why the larger booster is needed, but dont quote me on that.

    Water dripping onto accererator

    charcoal cannister leaking

    the charcoal canister is for fumes only so if there fuel reaching the lines i would check out where its coming from, if the motors running fine then i wouldnt think its coming out of the throttle body so it must be coming from the fuel tank possibly caused by excess pressure, take the tank out...
