    Unlocking Tuner Locked ECU

    Apologies for being obtuse. The original tuner is a knob. I just want to find out the key he uses so I can either fix his tune, or detonate the engine. More than likely the latter.

    Unlocking Tuner Locked ECU

    Has anyone successfully unlocked any tuner locked ECUs and discovered the key that the tuner has used? I’m interested in compiling a list of tuner keys.

    Yep, that's pretty much The Bro Code, except for a few words used differently.

    Speed Limits Hay Plains

    Learners, or any slow movers on freeways are a major hinderance and can be quite dangerous. But having an elevated position above the line of traffic, we have more of an advantage than car drivers because we can see whats going on further away. A lot of the time we can anticipate the actions of...

    Speed Limits Hay Plains

    For a truck driver, hey? Well I gotta say you're putting in as good an argument as any apprentice mechanic I know. For an apprentice mechanic, you should know that slamming the brakes on in a car that has shoddy tyres or suspension isn't always a good thing. And that's one of my main points...

    what kind of 5.0 block is it? vs or vt?

    Ring Holden with your engine number, they'll be able to tell you if it's the original that came with the car, or what it's out of originally. They'll probably ask you to quote the VIN aswell.

    For the nerds/geeks, "I wish I were a DNA helicase, so I could unzip your genes." This one is an anti-pick up line, "Did you just fall from heaven? It must have hurt when you hit the ground, cos it's really made a mess of your face" For the ladies, touch a guys ear and say; "Your ears sure...

    Speed Limits Hay Plains

    No worries man, no offence taken. It's all good. Trust me, I wouldn't mind being able to sit in 6th in the Monaro, eating up the k's like they're going out of fashion, but I don't have much faith in the general public's driving ability, nor the state of our road system. Which are the main...

    Speed Limits Hay Plains

    Mr Holdfast, I wasn't actually at the helm at the time of the collision, the other driver I was two-up with was captain at the time. I was in the bunk, getting thrown around by the bumps, which makes me wonder, why would you WANT to do anymore than the speed limit on a road that is not...

    Hot or Not

    I dunno about you guys, but I kinda dig the way Yank Cop Cars look. There's something about them, maybe it stems back to The Blues Brother's, with their Dodge Monaco with the big block 440 in it, with the cop brakes, the cop suspension, man I'd love to go out doing some big smokey burnouts in...

    Speed Limits Hay Plains

    I came across the Hay Plain in a Kenworth and we hit an emu at 105km/h, destroyed the bird, feathers and dust everywhere. What do you think would've happened if we had've been in car doing 130? I reckon I would've had my eyes pecked out of my head whilst waiting at the pearly gates for St Peter...

    [NSW] Commodore Wreckers/Part Stockers in Sydney? ( Looking for VY Calais II parts )

    For new parts, genuine Holden at better prices than you'll get from Holden, call Oscar at Ozcar Parts in Smithfield. For second hand bits, I recommend giving Scotty at Smithfield Auto Wreckers a call, you can get him on 9725 3555, tell him Dave with the Monaro told you to call him, and he'll...

    Tailshaft - non replaceable parts?

    I had a similar problem. My Monaro gets a fair beating, so suffice to say, it's only a matter of time until something claps out. Usually it's just tyres, but I did go through 2 standard clutches in about 1 1/2 years. A Textralia Z-Grip soon fixed that, so armed my with my awesome new clutch...

    V2 Monaro factory diff ratio

    Standard Monaros have 3.08:1 and CV8Rs came with 3.46:1. Holden gave the CV8R the shorter ratio and 10kw extra for a little more punch. I can cruise mine in 6th at 90k's turning a lazy 1250RPM. Did you do a revs check to make sure it's not a Statutory Write off? By the looks of things it...

    Matts New Toy

    It was an EK Rich, but you and I both miss the old girl. Looks alright Matt, I'm very partial to the old girls. It's a good start for a worthwhile project. But you gotta get rid of those God Awful 12 slotters. They belong on Fords man, not Holdens. Don't expect it to set any land speed...

    keep the VS Calais or get a munro?

    Monaro all the way dude. I traded in my beloved VN in on a '03 CV8R and would never look back. As for colour choice, Turismo grows on me, Silver Monaro's are hot, Black one's are hot, the Gold looks hot. Hell, doesn't matter what colour they are, they're just hot. Fella at work is asking...

    Insurance question

    Get yourself listed as a limited driver, to let's say 5 or 10 times a year. My mate has his car insured and registered in his mum's name and the insurance is so much cheaper because he's limited to the amount of times he can drive it per year. They don't know he drives it everyday. What they...

    Why don't you just delete the thread after 60 days to stop all the confusion? Plus it will free up some room on the server. Seems logical to me, but what would I know?

    Anyone on here have an interest in Aviation?

    I haven't really looked into it on the employment side of things. But if you have the qualifications I don't really see the problem. And theres also the Pilot shortage, much the same as the driver shortage we're experiencing, so you'd be hopeful of your chances.

    Whatever you do don't get a plastic one from anywhere, they flex like crazy under power and do more harm than good. Spend the extra $'s and get a Stainless Steel or alloy job. Ring SureFlo at Ingleburn, they do their own, top quality. Don't forget it changes the responsiveness and airflow...

    My bad. You quoted me and your reply seemed like you were disagreeing the point. So I chose to reiterate my point. But in my defense, by the time I read it and replied it was already past my bed time. I must be at home and in bed before the street lights come on. My job entails early start times...

    Qantas

    It's been statistically proven that flying is safer than driving, when the number of passengers flown per km is compared to passengers driven per km, flying comes out on top. Just the same as professional heavy vehicle drivers have less accidents per km than amatuer car drivers. Its just...

    Qantas

    Yeah you're dead on Gregg, the Catalina flights were specially chartered flights, not normal fare paying routes, but a fatality is still a fatality. Eventhough shorthaul flights are potentially a bit more dangerous than longhaul, flying is still safer than driving a car, catching a bus or a...

    Anyone on here have an interest in Aviation?

    When I was a kid I only wanted to do one of two things for a crust when I grew up, it was either Pimpin or Flying. No seriously, either a Truckie or a Pilot. But coming from a somewhat disadvantaged background where money was always short, a headstart in aviation wasn't available and being...

    Do i need to pay her? My rights?

    No, not at all, be my guest, I just thought my points were valid and they might have needed further explaining after being the subject of criticism, and also may have an impact in helping people see my point of view. But then again points of view are like arseholes, everyones got one, it's just...

    Do i need to pay her? My rights?

    I reckon I summed it up fairly well in my last post, which should have put it to bed. But alas, all I have done is thread another worm on the hook and reeled you in again. All I want to know is what damage occured to Adam's friend's car and what kind of car it is. From there we can gauge...

    Well I could go rifling through all my old correspondence and crud to find the itemised quote to satisfy you, but I couldn't care less about your needs or wants. But it went something along the lines of: interior detail to remove glass shards; colourmatch, repair, paint and blend a pillar and...

    Do i need to pay her? My rights?

    I'm not saying that Bonno smash is the benchmark, infact I'd never go back there. But being an enthusiast and wanting quality work, I wasn't about to go see the el cheapo nasty's so I decided to go there because they had a good reputation. My car had to go back because they didn't prep the nicky...

    Do i need to pay her? My rights?

    Sorry man, but thats something that I just don't get. In your first post you said it cost you about $900 to fix your friends car, so obviously there was a bit of damage. A busted indicator, fitted by a panel beater and a bit of bog work and some paint's not gunna cost $900. I had a VN ages ago...

    Arrrrghhh my Akubra shrunk!

    When I bought mine the lady at the shop said the steam from a boiling kettle would help bring it back into shape. Maybe if use it on the leather band and put it on to stretch it out it might help. I left mine in the boot of my car and the brim went floppy aswell.

    Do you buy Seafood from Woolies ?

    I'm there that often I have a frequent friers card with these guys and I'm on a first name basis with the bloke that owns the shop, so I know they don't get theirs from Coles or Woolies. They are a proper old fashioned Fish and Chip shop who are supplied by a reputable butchers for their meat...

    I would like to clarify the misnoma that QANTAS has never had a fatality. During WW2, the Army and RAAF commisioned QANTAS to run evacuation flights out of PNG due to the advancing Japs. They were flying Catalina's, which were a twin engine flying boat. Unfortunately, a few of these aircraft...
