    What kind of charger is this!?

    Hey all. So after 'picking' through my aunty's shed of random car parts my long late uncle had, I came across this and decided to grab it in the hopes it might be useful? Problem is I have no idea exactly what it is. I assume its a charger of some sort, but i know very little about them...

    2003 VY SS project

    Thanks mate. Yeah im not sure about it either tbh haha. This design is not in vinyl though, its actually window tint, a red fader film. And i hand cut it, not with a machine. Ive been window tinting for 11 years and i just wanted a challenge really, so i did this. I made it a bit too big i...

    Darker tint now LEGAL in WA

    Hey this is big news for my industry, especially WA tinters, but more importantly, EVERYONE :) On April 13 the Government of Western Australia Department of Transport announced a change to WA VLT regulations - 20% VLT is now permitted behind the driver. Now both the Northern Territory and...

    L98 into my VN

    haha not quite mate.. the kind of opportunity you get when the driving skills of someone that you know, are all fail! And results in perfectly conditioned and untouched running gear, surrounded by scrap metal lol

    L98 into my VN

    Hey all, So the opportunity has come up for me to get my hands on a 6ltr L98, thought would be perfect for my project VN that i am currently wondering what horse to throw under the bonnet. Now my basic question is, can anyone confirm that this will fit without ANY structural modification to the...

    DIY Window Tint

    Although it doesn't take 3 hours to tint a VY sedan (i assume they are giving themselves a bit of breathing room just incase..) i dont know why they think using a different film will take up to an hour longer?? LOL but that's their prerogative i guess. Also $400 for any sedan, brand new or 30...

    Goodbye everyone - goodbye forums - goodbye (crappy) holden

    I owned an ex cop car, VT 5L 9C1. Most reliable car ive owned! Clean and tidy. Recently sold it to a mate so i could buy a bike. Still going strong and still looking mint! Just because its an ex anything dont mean jack. Take care of it, and 9 times outta 10 it will keep going.

    Goodbye everyone - goodbye forums - goodbye (crappy) holden

    on the contrary, i think its a bit unfair to judge the commodores (or holdens for that matter) in their entirety just because you have 1 lemon car mate! It would be bias of anyone to say that they have never owned, or knew someone that owned, a lemon car sporting the badge of a manufacturer they...

    National Petition to change the laws of Window Tinting!

    for those who need proof, http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/A4CCADAA-27D3-4EB6-8AE2-17F69F9DAE78/0/VSI2web.pdf The section you need to read, states: "All windows of a motor vehicle, other than windscreens, available to the driver to obtain a view of the road or other road users must...

    National Petition to change the laws of Window Tinting!

    Vic roads is clearly contradicting themselves then, and you were lucky to only have taken the 2 front off. In the Victorian road laws, VicRoads clearly states that any car MUST be 35% VLT on EVERY window (excluding the front windscreen), or less. VicRoads are clearly confused by the laws...

    DIY Window Tint

    I dont know who is charging you $500 to tint a VY sedan (assuming from your 'my ride' is what you got), but that is just highway robbery! For starters, steer clear of that first link you posted mate. Besides the fact that any film that cheap, will be exactly that (CHEAP!), they obviously have no...

    [General] Removing window tint

    find as much elbow grease as you can, and go with that :D Obviously cause you cant scrape the glue off cus of the demister lines (unless you got a steady hand and a bundle of patience), basically once you get the film off, its all elbow grease with steel wool and a bitta liquid lubrication...

    rough idel/surging/missing

    checked the injectors to make sure they are all clean mate? if you keep the fuel reasonably low then it may have picked up some crap? Wouldnt hurt to check them out, maybe give the fuel rail a clean out while your on the go

    Midnight express tint worth it?

    Interesting theory mate, cant say ive ever heard of tint actually making a car HOTTER on the inside.. Dont get me wrong in not doubting your word at all, just surprising to hear it is all. Mind you, i do keep my windows down a couple of inches to keep airflow through my car while it sits there...

    Midnight express tint worth it?

    LOL! Totally agree that 35% is not dark enough. I got nearly 10 years tinting experience under my belt and i HATED tinting cars in 35% haha Not that im condoning going any darker than your states legal VLT, but in 10 years i have NEVER heard of anyone getting pulled up because their tint was...
