    [QLD] [QLD] VY V6 Shifter, VY Instrument Cluster, VY SS Headlights, VY Diff (Non LSD)

    From what I know the fuel gauge voltages are reversed between series 1 and series 2. I think the plugs might be slightly different as well. it may be possible to convert to series 1, but I don't know off hand. I suggest searching the forums for more info.

    Retailers Angry at Online Shopping.

    I purchased $1100 worth of pioneer audio gear the other week. All through online retailers. And about $700 in the states. It was rediculous how much JB Hifi and Autobarn wanted for the same kit. If i bought it in store, I would of had to fork out over 2 grand. With the aussie dollar being so...

    Rocker Bolts coming Loose. How can i fix it.

    I put the stockers back in yesterday. No weird ticking noises after warm up. Took her for a long drive. Good as gold. Looking at the old rockers and pushrods. No chips or dents/scratches. 2 or 3 of the pushrods are showing signs of extremely minor contact. you cant feel it but you can see the...

    Rocker Bolts coming Loose. How can i fix it.

    Ok. It appears. that the loctite has done the trick. However, i still have an issue. 2 weeks of driving and the bolts are holding. so win. HOWEVER When the engine is hot. And only once the oil has heated up, i get the metal on metal clicking sound. The exact same sound as before. But i have...

    R31 Skyline .. Track/Weekend/Mountain/Drift Car.

    The best part bout the r31 besides being cheap is the fact that is shares so many parts with the silvias and later skylines. And naturally s13 and r32 parts are so easy to come across and dead cheap, it aint funny. So good luck to you sir. Once i get my vy daily humming nicely ill turn my...

    Rocker Bolts coming Loose. How can i fix it.

    True with the loctite. Not sure how i could clean the oil out. perhaps earbuds.... But i dont think the springs are putting out a negligable force reading. Wrenching the springs down gives a considerably different feel to when the rocker actually hits the base, which is when i switch to the...

    Rocker Bolts coming Loose. How can i fix it.

    Hi all, First the story. Had the car serviced last week and got the local holden dealership to install the mace rockers I had previously bought. Pick the car up. All good. For about 5 minutes. A distinct ticking could be heard from the drivers side of the engine. I had thought the supplied crow...

    Dumb things you've done working on a car?

    Heres one i did recently Installing my new mace spacers. Got the manifold spacer on and was bolting the plenum back on. Got to the last bolt and i placed it into the hole and went to put the socket wrench on it. SLIP.. down the damn intake.. Was swearing like a sailor for a good hour thinking...

    What do you think of these rims guys.

    black rims will always look sweet on a light coloured car. And they have some dish.. Bonus. Personally Im a lot keener on some black mesh rims with dish.. Looks the sex though.

    I wanna make my 2003 vy lumina sound louder???

    take the exhaust off. But seriously. what exactly are you trying to achieve... Besides the noise factor. A good exhaust shop can design an exhaust system that can hit the legal db limits if you want. But im sure it will drone like a mofo. Are you after an exhaust that is always loud or...

    Complex Meccano sets

    Hah. I remember as a kid longing for the lego pirate ship. I had a couple of the (much) smaller lego pirate sets and everytime mum took me shopping id gaze upon the wonder that is this ship. Never got one. Same goes for the space sets. I salavaged a few kits together and made what i imagined was...

    HID Lights, What to get

    Wow. That intellexual.net article was a very good read. And now its got me thinking.. I have a VY and im wondering if its possible to retrofit the projector style optics from the HSV VY's into the standard lights. Actually. after a quick image search. It doesnt look right. Probably easier to...

    VY VERY WEIRD wiring issue please help ASAP

    I would have to say some cable you've tapped into or pulled on to get that extra bit of length is shorted out somewhere. Possibly cabling related to the headlight switch. Hope you have a multimeter handy to help track it down. Also be weary its not draining your battery even when the car is...

    V8 SuperCars, Am celebrating Holdens win:) but.....

    An awesome result today. Lowndes and Whincup fed off each other the after the last safety car and left Tander for 3rd. Wasnt sure if Lowndes could keep up the pace with Whincup down his back, but he pulled through. A might victory for Vodafone and for Holden in general.

    ???how to make a plenum spacer for a vs ecotec or where to buy???

    Go with the mace product. Its made of somekind of industrial plywood like material and it will stop the plenum from soaking up so much heat. Cooler Air temps = moar power.

    Manifold Spacer Fitting. Does it fit VY S2 Ecotecs?

    Hi all, I recently puchased a manifold and plenum spacer from Mace and went to install it today. The instructions are clear (even if i only have them printed in blue. Stupid printer :P). Anyway. I put the spacer up against the old gasket to check it out and there is a bit missing. I check the...

    There is a replacement hvac control available. Feeler Thread - independent HVAC controls - Pontiac G8 Forum: G8 Forums - G8Board.com Though as for the rest i dont know. Integrating into the steering wheel control s will probably require rewiring the controls as the whole car seems to use a...

    Level 3 Cluster

    You sure? Cause holden matched the kays on mine when i got a clubsport cluster installed. Admittedly it was brand new in box. I've been told they can change the kays on it so long as it reads under 100k As for the cluster. No. you cant mix s1 and s2 clusters. apparently the fuel sender is...

    Which lights to get???

    Can you actually get HID setups for non projector VY headlights. Ive been trying to get some more brightness out of mine as it has shocking low beams. Multiple sets of lights (including the US ones). Nothing seems to work as good as i hoped.

    Letting off some steam over racism

    Yeah. Cause kicking some heads in will solve the problem and not cause more race related violence. Good job vn_v6 in contradicting yourself though. Despite beating people up you still 'cop **** often'. Clearly your system works.

    lady sues google maps cos she got hit by a car on a freeway.

    I would imagine that americans would have some sort of road rules like ours where pedestrians (and bicycles, slow moving crud) are not allowed on highways/freeways. Plus I doubt she would win, I am sure Google would have it written somewhere in their TOS that the directions they provide should...

    Gilmer Kits ( does this sound ok for $250 )

    just record the sound of it onto cd and play it on your cd player on loop or something. Wouldnt even cost a buck to do that. Save yourself $250.
