    Ripshifter - Worth it for street use?

    Cheers for the replies guys. Much appreciated. I think I'll get one as the car's mostly a weekender anyway. Wouldn't mind doing a drag run or track day every now and then

    Ripshifter - Worth it for street use?

    I've got a manual L77 SSV and I've heard swapping to a ripshifter might be a good option when I get my clutch replaced. Looking for feedback on who has them and what they think of them. Cheers

    Ve lowered shocks for 20inch rims

    I had 20's in my VY slammed on airbags, ride wasn't that bad for me but was definitely bumpy. They might have put HD springs in the rear which makes it quite stiff to drive. Honestly you get what you pay for. The more expensive brands will be much smoother. I had Optima shocks which I found...

    L98 upgrades.

    Find out what's making the noise and then find out what caused it. Might be low on oil or oil pressure.

    Clutch Recommendations

    I'm starting to need a new clutch in my 2010 L77 SS-V. Just after peoples advice on which clutch to choose. I've been looking at the Exedy twin-plate organic which is about $2800 installed. Other people have suggested Z-grip's or NPC's - no idea on how much or where to get these. The car will...

    Headlight Diamaters for Halo/Angel Rings

    Hi all, Can anyone tell me what diameter the projector housing and the highbeam surround is? I'm wanting to install Halo/Angel rings as a <$100 retrofit rather than spending $600+ on a set of new headlights that someone else has retrofit for me. Cheers

    Do I Need a H/O Alternator?

    I've recently upgraded my system and am now running a 1100wrms Apline mono-block powering a 900wrms sub. I also run a basic 4ch amp (only 2ch work) powering my front 75wrms Apline splits. I have ready for install another 500wrms sub to be hooked up to a 900wrms mono-block. I've also...

    Oil Pressure question

    Fitted a replacement sender which has arrested the fluctuations, however it now reads a consistent 20-30psi on idle. With the heater running, it will drop down around 10psi. Any thoughts? Oil level is still just below the full line and golden. Coolant was just totally flushed as well with the...

    VY SII Calais Tail Lights into SII VY Berlina?

    Yes will fit. You technically need to replace the plastic insert that's in your rear bumper too as the VZ's included reflectors there to compensate for the lack of reflectors in the light housing itself. The VY's have their reflectors in the light. I swapped to the VZ series 2 calais lights on...

    Oil Pressure question

    It's wired correctly. Factory warning doesn't come on. I'll have to find another gauge to test with. What pressure should I be reading?

    Oil Pressure question

    Hey guys, I recently installed an Autotechnica digital oil pressure gauge in my ecotec and it's reading very low. It runs about 20-30 on start up but then when warm it varies quite a lot, often hitting 0. I'm not sure if it's the gauge or if I have a problem with the car itself. The...

    PCM and Roller Rockers install instructions?

    Ok that makes sense. Do you know anything about the push rod orientation? I remember reading while doing a search that there is a way to put them in wrong, although hard to do. I was going to remove the (-) from the battery as precaution for PCM removal and install. Am I correct in that it's...

    PCM and Roller Rockers install instructions?

    Sorry for double post but I wanted to stretch my audience to get as much advise as possible. As I stated in the OP, I do have the upgraded push rods to suit. Am I correct in the PCM being behind the left hand kick panel?

    PCM and Roller Rockers install instructions?

    Hey guys, Just received my new PCM tune and 1.9 roller rockers w/push rods for my VYII ecotec. Will install tomorrow but was wanting to get some rough idea on an install process for each. MACE's site doesn't feature install instructions for these parts so I was wanting to know if anyone has...

    eBay VZ Berlina remote start kit off factory remote

    I know this is a dig but can I get the instructions too? I've had huge problems with this seller. Took 3 weeks to arrive, came with broken tabs and no instructions. Communication is beyond crap. Just after some instructions so I can test it and have time to lodge an appeal if needed. Thanks

    Wheel Ideas

    Hi guys, Did a search and haven't found enough info yet. I've got a black berlina and I want wheels for it. I'm wanting 19's or 20's but preferring 20's for look and availability/affordability. I'd like a deep dish too. I'm currently looking at: G8's G-Max Defiant 2's Icon...

    MACE 25mm Manifold and CAI review + Video

    You have to take the plenum off for installation anyway and was going to clean it but didn't have time. Mine wasn't that bad anyway. I would recommend cleaning it if you've got the time but wouldn't say that cleaning it would give much/any improvements - unless yours is particularly bad.

    The price is negotiable yes. It's a great bike to learn on. Extremely agile and zippy. Plus with $10 worth of 98ron fuel lasting you a week and a half to 2 weeks, can't go wrong.

    varex muffler for vy

    I don't think he's talking about a quality issue, I think he just wants it louder when he wants it to be. I doubt it'd be a straight bolt on, but I could be wrong. If you buy the muffler, a shop shouldn't charge to much to install it professionally.

    light tint

    Pretty sure it's not as dark as you want on rears. Check the RTA's (or whatever authorative body you have) website for information on darkest legal tinting. As for the headlight/tail light paint. Pretty sure its illegal on headlights, and tail lights I think are illegal too, however, a very...

    Car won't start. Electrical problem.

    I'll still need to check my crank volts but So far has been fine with new key. I'll have a look to see if the screws in the key remote are tight as I changed the shell a few months ago so maybe I didn't do it up tight enough, or it came loose. Ignition barrel feels fine though. No difficulty...

    Car won't start. Electrical problem.

    Ah k. I'll test it myself with my voltmeter and just get dad to either mark the readout or crank it. What sort of drop should i expect when cranking? Also I haven't had the problem since using the new key so idk what's going on. Contact points sound possible though. If it keeps happening, what...

    Noise filter or ground loop isolator?

    At the moment i'm just running the speaker wire to the high-input of the amp, but planned on running them into a LOC then the ground loop isolator.

    Noise filter or ground loop isolator?

    Hey guys, I have installed a 4ch amp using the high-inputs and have got really bad noise through my speakers and from my alternator itself. After trying several things like regrounding with a fatter cable in a better spot, moving wiring away from power wire, testing each channel to see if...

    Daytime running lights

    If you wanted just the DRL's on with no other lights, best option would be to just run them off the battery with an inline fuse, then run a completely separate switch and mount it somewhere in your dash.

    Car won't start. Electrical problem.

    Well my battery is reading fine at 12.4v off and 14.1v on. Took it to a sparky however and he couldn't get the car to fault, of course. However, he did recommend just swapping keys to see if the other key had the same problem, backing up my thinking of maybe the keys battery was dead and not...

    Car won't start. Electrical problem.

    That's what I thought. Been doing a bit of reading and maybe a diode has died. But apparently it's just easier to get a new alternator than it is to get a new diode cluster. And it's still charging properly so I'm not sure. Such a frustrating problem.
