yea i had a feeling it might be the case. :(

Hey guys, I've currently lost my keys for my VX calais, i'm wondering if anyone knows a easy way to remove the barrel for a replacement barrel I've bought. I still have a old fob so i just need help changing barrels over. I've contacted a locksmith to see what they charge but if there's a...

Thnx for the reply, I am using canbus LEDs except 2. For some reason I'm getting a error on the reverse leds which are canbus and matched watt rating wise. I'll have to measure and see why they're giving a error. As for the other 2, which are the brake lights I've used standard non canbus, so...

Hey guys, i changed my rear lights on my VF SSV Redline to LED, i'm getting errors from the computer (not enough load no doubt) so i was wondering if anyone knows a way to reset the BCM to relearn the current draw the LEDs use (I've read this can be done on older commodores, so i'd be surprised...

sorry to bring up old topic but this is relevant to this topic.. I just picked up a SSV Redline manual 2014 with 18k on it from a dealership (was a dealership company car, I'm first owner outside of Holden). It has what sounds like lifter noise to me. It has a full service history and was...

In series or parallel to the lights? also what size?

Hey, I've replaced the tail lights on my VX Calais with LED lights, i'm wondering if anyone knows of any kits to stop the warning light on the dash from coming up and to slow down the flasher speed on the indicators.. Any ideas? Thnx.

Sorry for the late reply, just incase anyone else gets this problem. It ended up being the internals of the diff itself. I replaced them and all is good.

Hello all, I've got a strange problem, my gf's VC commodore has a strange knocking noise coming from under the car. I've checked to see if theres any movement on the tail shaft and theres none, i've replaced all the rubber mounts for the exhaust. Yet the knocking happens only when there's more...

Hello, I've got a VH SLX and i'm wanting to change over the rear doors insides into 2 new doors. I was wondering if anyone had any guides or links to anyone else whos done this and can explain how to do it. Any help would be great Thnx.

why would u want to put that on? It would just look odd.

i wouldn't mind replacing mine too.

That price is excluding extractors. Just to make sure. :)

exhaust piping isn't expensive.. only when it's stainless steal does it go upwards in price.. my exhaust system cost me 300. So i'm guessing double it for a v8.

Heres my car. It's pretty clean. I do need a respray though.

you mean loud? it will have noise, but i don't think it'll be to loud. If you were to use a hotdog then you'd have loud. Basically it'll just quiet down the extractors and the dumpers will give more bass at the end of the car.

Get a set of extractors, 2 1/2 inch straight through dual exhaust with 2 1/2 dumpys (or bigger) Small front mufflers and straight through resonators. If you like a nice note with some bass. Stainless steel if u want a good look (expensive though) Some people will say use hotdogs for bass...

As far as i remember, just turn the motor with the fan. Will make it easier to remove them.

http://www.ajdesigner.com/speaker/ajvented.php you can build your own boxes with these proggies.

don't forget a few caps to filter the voltage ripple. eh ;)

nice, i would have stealth'd my sub and amp. But i got a gas tank in the way :/

Currenty i have 6x9 pioneer rears 200wrms 5inch pioneer fronts 100wrms Super Tweeters 50wrms 10inch Polycone Woofer 180wrms (i've measured it at 121.5dB at 30hz) Kenwood headunit. (4x50wrms bleh) Response 4x100wrms amp driving the sub and rears. future upgrades will be to get another amp to...

donno, bigger doesn't mean better. So personally, i've never bothered to get into big subs. Got 1 ten inch measured at 121.5dB at 30hz. So i'm happy with that. :D Built it myself. Pics and details are here I didn't follow the "recommended" specs. Built my own box based on the Ltr size...

update on the clock. I've just repaired the analogue one i had. i replaced the 2 electrolytic 100uF / 16v caps. I guess they were leaking and the inductor it uses wasn't pulsing properly every second.

why disable right clicking on your page? anyone with half a brain will just look at teh source to get the image locations..

Sounds like hydrogen gas to me. It's either because of strong charging or discharging. Either get a bigger rated battery or a smaller alternator.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows anywhere i can get a LCD Digital Clock to replace my Analogue / Digital clock in my car. cheers. :)

I'm guessing no, VC tail lights are smaller then VH / VK

i'll up some pics soon. Had a few things done here and there.

I'm looking into putting a 4 Speed Aussie Manual Gearbox etc into my car. I was wondering if anyones done this and what i'm in for? I'm on a trimatic 202 system.

sounds more like the solenoid is sitting to close and has to much slack on the wire connected to the boot latch. If the solenoid isn't pulling hard enough and is far enough to keep the wire tight, the coil is probably screwed.

I wouldn't mind finding something on the varajets stop screws. I have a VH manual that basically says leave em alone. Nothing about how to adjust them to get them back to their original setting.

Mines basically a solenoid connected to part of the boot lock. Basically look under the boot around the lock, (left is of it) and theres a solenoid with wire coming off it to latch onto the lock. When it engages it pulls a part of the latch which unlocks the lock. The solenoid is just screwed...

I've got solex locks too, never had a problem with them. But i did buy pretty expensive ones that aren't meant to use ****ty metals. As for your boot problem, i'd just say what most of the people here are saying. Either try to rip out the lock or pry open the boot. When you manage to do it...

well, this 'specialist' solved my problem. I did it the wrong way, i asked him to put on what i got, rather then asking him what i should have put on. Live and learn.. :)

I just had the hotdog changed to a small muffler. Sounds way better, still has a nice note without all the bass traveling through everything. I'm sure richard knows how to put on a hotdog. He's featured in hotrod mags a fair amount for his exhaust work. example of his work...

well the exhaust thats on it is the one i just payed for. So i don't wanna be changing out the entire exhaust. If the hotdog is whats making it have to much bass, then thats the only part i'll be changing. :)

well i spoke to the exhaust specialist that did the car (Richard at Rowville Exhausts) he basically said the problem would be the hotdog. So i'll probably get him to change it to something that will remove the bass drone at the higher revs.

It's more then just drone.. It's bass drone. It travels right through the car. It still does have a somewhat lumpy note and sounds great at low rpms / idle etc. But once i start to put my foot down it just sounds horrid at i'm guessing around 3000rpm. Whats even more annoying is that most of...

Hello all, Well i have a bit of exhaust problem. You see i've changed my 202 motor exhaust manifold to extractors (wildcats) and had a new exhaust system put in the car. I've got a 2 1/4 inch pipe straight to hotdog to straight through resonator to 2 1/2 inch dumpy. The problem is, When i'm...
