    VN Bodykit value

    How much is it worth if its fibreglass. My other car has a kit on it, when i tap it, it sounds really hollow and weak and also doesnt sit 100% correct the VN kit i 'think' is real because its alot harder and also sat on the car fine

    Coolant coming out through engine

    Sorry for using this pic without asking, and I cant use paint at work. Thanks stocky tis a good pic But the leak is coming from the rocker cover part inbetween the Holden logo and the first nut on the manifold, or exactly left of the oil cap in that photo, on the engine except its on the left...

    Coolant coming out through engine

    Seems like a drain hole yet its supposed to be covered so coolant cant escape, it looks like its just worn away because the other side is fine, if its the manifold gasket is it fairly cheap to replace?

    Coolant coming out through engine

    Hi, Ive developed a prob with my VR,(5L) first of all its been losing coolant at a fast rate but I cannot see if its leaking from a certain spot or just evaporating. Yesterday after drive home there was a bit of smoke coming from under the bonnet and there was a bit of coolant around the engine...

    Estimated VS Senator dyno power figures.....??

    Well from what I read from eastern states people 'SA tuners are cowboys etc' seems lots of people think SA dynos read very high, I have nfi except they have no 1/4 track I believe to test their cars so its all 'rwkw' Anyways as I said my car made 144rwkw im sure Cobez's car will make more...

    Estimated VS Senator dyno power figures.....??

    Yeah when 91 is $1.25 and 98 is $1.45 and you buy it ONLY for more KMs it doesnt work out to much extra in fact the quote is something like "44kms extra from ongoing use" Which is about 1 day of travelling to work/back I use 95 and honestly get a bit more to the same amount I spend but its not...

    Estimated VS Senator dyno power figures.....??

    Can you get your car tuned to actually plunder more power from 98? example ive heard about a VZ thunder ute which off a 91 octane tune could only pull about 220ish rwkw with a tune, but with 98 octane was able to get 240rwkw because of the twin knock sensors or something it just runs poorly on...

    Estimated VS Senator dyno power figures.....??

    My VR made 194rwhp or about 144rwkw with just an exhaust upgrade, im sure its just factory headers, stock everything else and the apparent 185 motor with 148xxxxkm, so ive got an average 185 or a hell potent 165 Also ive notice no difference between 91 and 95 octane really except i get a tad...

    performance?

    VN 6s are kinda quick till 60 then by 100 they are dead basically, anything above 100 and the v6 will drop further and further.. Anyone who claims their V6 can beat/catch 8's, go and drive a decent v8 and you will not want back into a v6 again..ever unless it has F/I my VN is laughable...

    Clean your MAF

    Can anyone please tell me where this sensor is located on a V8
  16. 89 vn

    Clean your MAF

    MAF in the same spot in a V8 VS?, as they have much shorter intake pipe

    Thats something different, The editor in chief for SC has a twin turbo alloytec underway and its been underway for over 18 months or something stupid and I was waiting to see his power output. Yours is neat man, looks good

    My new Time Capsule VN

    6k is alot but the car is like new from factory, probably an investment but it will take more years for the value to add up. wtf this car been hiding for 18 years? In one of my street machine mags a guy picked up an old 60's car with only 13000 miles that is amazing

    Manual Changing in an Auto?

    I know a guy who started manually shifting his auto box in his VT, it broke in a week and a half. First of all he broke the mechanism holding it in place so the gearstick swung up and down like it wasnt even connected. The car still drove though somehow and he managed to then blow the gearbox up...

    What V8 motor into VP?

    I dont know why you think an LS conversion will be more expensive. "oh ill just stroke it to 355 and supercharge it" im a huge fan of blown 5L especially a 355 but i really doubt it would be cheaper. CAPA Vortechs are about mininum 6k for the basic setup, then tuning, perhaps an intercooler...

    Diff Gears What ratio

    Ive heard 3.7s are probably the best compromise and if you have a 5 speed you wont notice it as much of course compared to a 4spd auto. Cost should be a few hundred bucks. Ive read about 6 speed owners of new commodores having 4.11 and not really noticing it Remember your speedo will be...

    info on SS kit

    Umm and your saying a full aftermarket and painted SS kit will cost less than 1k? Maybe second hand or you painted it yourself. Im sure each piece is like 200-250 unless you can show me where they sell cheaper

    Anyone rebuilt a 4L60E auto at home ?

    Maybe like wagonwheel says maybe its better to get a trans service to see if that will fix the problems and if not move to the next step. Seems highly daunting to open up your trans and tinker with it, would rather let someone who know what they were doing screw with it could be up for much more...

    vs front lip question

    Well my VN has a kit although different model, it sits just over 10cm from the floor and never hits ****, btw I find the most problems is the car hittin on the rear not the front. Ive never scraped my driveway on the front but I avoid any speed bumps if i can

    97 VS II Statesman 5.0L 5-Speed on 20's

    Wow thats a nice Statesman but a downgrade imo, but as you said your after a better cruiser which the stato wins in that department. Car looks like it just came out of the factory !

    Sorry to hear about your car man, must be heartbreaking. Karma will get them little ****s back Black VS SS sounds awesome and the first mod you need is a decent alarm so that **** never happens again !

    Toms Bagged Vr Berlina

    Haha thats great love the ridiculously low airbag systems. How quickly does it raise and lower? Ive seen a few in the flesh but they were already basically touching the floor, definately get alot of attention with that :P

    is this bulls&%$ or real?

    wow 130 in 3 and its not a Veyron. Seriously this forum needs a sticky about these fkn bt1s The ONLY things ive noticed about my gf bt1 is slightly higher idle at about 900rpm and her LSD, so basically nothing.. Ive driven her car quite a few times and compared to my vr ss they are very...

    Servicing Costs?

    Then you need more than a service, sounds like you need proper parts replacing. Last mechanic (who I will NEVER go to ever again) would service my car and say "oh i replaced this and that now you owe me this amount" without even asking me and he also set my VN to idle at like 1500rpm so really...
  33. 89 vn

    Servicing Costs?

    I know a guy who does mine/gfs car, a full service is 180 and he can even come to your house and do it there. I saw in the paper the otherday Autobarn doing $100 "super special service' seems dodgy 100$ for a full service. So realistically around the 200 mark for a full service is average I guess?

    Tristans new VR

    That pod giving grunt is all in your head, probably robbing you of power, unless of course its fully heat shielded. Other than that thats a very clean car and judging by the exterior/interior it probably has been well looked after

    VR And VS Automatic trans the same?

    I thought since the VR had a buick it had the same trans as a VN/P. So Holden had a different trans for one model then changed it when the VS came along?
