Grab your heater tap (Above the drivers side chassis rail) and give it a firm wiggle on all the hoses going to it (4 of them) .. its plastic and perishes after time... chances are, it's cracked and when you wiggle it, it will snap/disintegrate in your hand... (Better it happen in your hand, and...

Springs are designed to be CAPTIVE in the strut... Hence the need for spring compressors to install/remove them. Shorter springs, need shorter struts... No IF's, AND's or BUT's!

the ident plate on the firewall (Passenger side) says the suspension that comes standard... if it says FE2... its one point towards it being an S.... They should also have an SS body kit (Skirts all round) BUT... not a wing on the boot, but a "dovetail" ... and NO foglamps. The pin stripe...

ok sweet... standard it is... I shall start ringing some places this morning and see what i can come up with for prices... And good point on the tie rod ends Haydz, If they last 100,000km... you can't complain. my car has 250,000 odd km's on it, and I assume its the original rack as I've owned...

Hey guys, So whilst getting a wheel alignment with new tyres today... (I was there, so thought, why not...) The mechanic told me i should look at getting a new steering rack, mine was on it's way/flogged out. So my questions are: 1. Should i just replace with a rebuilt/new one that is...

To remove fuel lines: DO NOT buy some special tool, you can apparently (Refer Gregories book) use a Pen lid, the one that has a metal clip on it, to unclip the flexi lines. But I just use a phillips head bit in my 1/4" spanner (or socket) and unscrew the flexi line from the rail. Just be...

Agreed... have you checked resistance of the fan itself? (no power applied / disconnected battery)

thanks, but that really only gives pricing and information ive already listed... still hasnt addressed my 3 questions list above... :)

invest in a multimeter... approx $20 and you can then test your wiring to see if you have a bad earth?

i beleive if you turn your AC on, with the car running, the "condensor fan" as you put it, (I assume you mean the front mounted thermo fan.) will go into "HIGH SPEED" ... you could try that?

Hey, I've used the search button and found out as much as i could. But I'm curious about some more info... So far, refering to the below pictures ive composed from DBA and another reliable source, as well as searching the net, I've found out this: 1. VS master cylinder does NOT...

1. just carefully remove your dash fascia to see if the loom is behind it... (if it is, it will be tucked up and taped out of the way, so look carefully) 2. it occurs when you brake... it's your brakes.... you most likely have warped discs due to the being overheated or becoming too thin then...

what hole/s??? and where specifically? are you talking about the webbing reinforcement on the inside of the boot lid??

- If you're happy to live without A/C... remove the condensor and compressor... - If you can solder wires well enough, relocate your coil pack and DFI module... (suggestion maybe the passenger side firewall??) - relocate the battery to the boot with a battery reloction kit (Mount it SECURELY in...

Have you checked error codes???

No... Read what I'm saying... NOTE when I say input and output! In reference to your statement... If you spin an OUTPUT on one side, (assuming the input is held) the other output will spin then opposite way in a NON-LSD. As for an LSD... I am unsure how spinning an output on one side would...

ahhh yes Drawnnite... I see your point! 4 years on P's... :beer chug:

Clunking/meshing of the crown and pinion gears. No backlash (no clunking) = Too tight... Large backlash (very clunky) = too loose... ideal backlash = quiet, smooth running diff.

English and Grammer weren't your strong points, were they? Can you please try again, to explain what you want help with? (Using punctuation)

I could be wring here... but my understanding is.... Hold One output (Say the left wheel output) and spin the input... either one of 2 things will happen... 1. the opposite output will spin as long as you keep spinning the input... (NON-LSD) 2. same as above but only a for little bit... (hence...

Which bank pays $1600 interest on an $8000 principle? I want in! :P Correct math is: $8000 @ 5% p.a. = $400 per annum ... or = $33.34 per month ... or = $7.69 per week. So if he/she was to invest $8000 they would end up with $8400 after 1 year. NOTE: before someone tries to shut me down with...

ITEM: VR/VS SS Rear bumber bar lower skirt (Panther Mica) LOCATION: VIC (Melbourne CBD) CONDITION: Best I can get? DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Willing to travel approx 40-50km to pick up item PAYMENT OPTIONS: Prefer cash on pick up PRICE: To be discussed based on condition...

Some food for thought to help you decide.... Have you researched about scavenging? Don't get caught up in the aguement about "backpressure"! What size is the outlet of your extractors? What is more readily available? 1-3/4", 2" or 2-1/4" piping?? (Think of cost? The exhaust place will have a...

I tend to agree here... If you insisted on having a TTB with a throttle body on opposite sides, your best bet would be to stagger them. Such that on the passenger side, you have it towards the front (To feed the front 3 runners) and on the drivers side you have it towards the rear (To feed the...

can you upload the diagrams?

does it drive normally after a few minutes? (only does this on start up)... if so, drop the transmission pan and make sure your filter is still clipped in... if the filter has fallen out, the transmission pump sucks air when you first start the car. (The filter is sitting on the bottom of the...

the stud (remaining part of) will still be in the head when you remove the manifold... if youve broken it, youre going to have to get it out, or replace the head... get you hands on an "easy-out" or "screw extractor" (and maybe some freeze spray and a blow torch... refer to later) Prep the...

Hey all... I've read about people using "factory/standard" cats to make a twin system on their VR/VS commodores. Which I aim to do, BUT... As far as I'm aware the factory cat on a VR/VS commodore is a 2-in 1-out setup, not 1-in 1-out. anyone know what cat's they are reffering to...

Agreed... Fuel can go off... drain your tank, fill it up with fresh fuel and some injector cleaner... then go form there...

Mine does this... One day, i'll pull the cluster out and clean the connections on the back... I think it's a bad connection between the gauge posts and the circuit pad on the back (The copper nuts maybe loose/corroded??) It's quite an easy job... I'm just lazy... but when it's not working.. a...

The BCM should have nothing to do with the engine... in fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't... that's why its the "BODY control module". As for the ECU, i believe you can just get a different memcal. Anyone else confirm??

have you checked for error codes? youve changed your extractors... did you damage the oxy sensors?

+1 on that...! Blue smoke only on start-up = worn valve stem seals Blue smoke whilst running = worn piston rings Black smoke whilst running = Over Rich fuel mix

You're Spot on! ;)

pull the console bit out and look behind to make sure you have the hoses hooked up correctly...

Take the belt off... and spin them by hand... should have NO noise at all... If they sound like rollerskate wheels or squeek...replace em!

I can agree with IBLOWN, but that, to me, would be a weeping/slow leak. lots of oil to me, indicates a pressured leak??

How tight is your oil filter? ... the oil pressure sendor? otherwise, If it's not obvious... keep cleaning... clean the crap outta the engine bay, including areas around the oil fliter, engine mounts (they hate getting oil on em, so keep them tidy) chassis rails, and if you can get underneath...

Simple Answer: Yes. Long Answer: I think you need a computer to plug into it and change the ODO's... Note: I also think there's legal issue involved here too with changing cluster ODO readings...

I believe according to the manual... (i have a gregories) ... you CAN rebuild a PS pump. If you have the tools, and the parts, it's totally posible. BUT!!! A loud/wrecked whining sound with blackened fluid indicates the internals are stuffed... not the seals. If you had stuffed seals... it...
