The rear trailing arms actually bend over time. I had mine fixed at centreline suspension in Melbourne. Paid them to put my arms into a jig and press them back into shape. 3 years on, my rear end in my VT wagon is still practically 0 camber with even tyre wear despite being lowered on SSL sedan...

Loosen both engine mounts as much as you can from the engine side. They'll start to sag and point straight down. It's impossible to do while they're nipped up as they both point outwards, and the tips of the threaded bolts are a good 50mm further apart than the holes in the subframe. Loosen em...

I had this exact issue on a mates Ecotec swap. Ended up being we forgot a ground underneath the fuse box near the battery tray. Make sure you got all the grounds! We hooked it up and fired straight up.

You cant unfortunately, gotta replace the glass. Comes like that from Holden. Unless some wrecker removes it for you..... Its glued in place and would probably bend/crease/snap while trying to remove.

I dont believe so. The VY bonnet has a slightly different shape up against the windscreen, so the VY cowl / scuttle plate wont fit (this is where the washer jets are on a VY). Best option is to buy some VE wiper arms, use a grinder and cut out the washer jets (these are on the wiper arms in...

If you can spare the cash, get a duspeed / vcm. Those twin pod filters are shiteee (looks, performance, cleaning, half filters get dirty other half clean etc)

You haven't replaced your dash cluster or fuel pump at any point have you? Your dash cluster has configuration in it that tells it whether you are in a wagon, sedan or ute as the fuel senders are all calibrated differently (different positions report different levels). Swapping in the wrong...

Reply with how you fixed it so others who also have the same problem can find your solution. I'm sure you searched online for it, couldn't find an answer, then made an account to post here (27th of July...)...

Look, to be truthful.. YES it is expensive. $300 seems like a lot to do the VIM mod, HOWEVER, without the JHP or other another companies programmer you need to: Remove the headunit from the car completely dismantle it pull the IC from the fascia (desolder it), put it into an EEPROM programmer...

The VE / WM roof DVD player connects to the front headunit via a connector on the drivers side (behind kick panel) This has a heap of wires, but the important onces are Stereo Left, Stereo Right, and a Composite video input. You're going to need to connect to these wires and attach 3x RCA (red...

I used a 5 channel sound processor in the boot tapped into the BOSE amp which gives me 3x RCAs. Then i plugged those into my 5 channel amp and you're done! I havent updated in ages, but there might be some info on my cars page...

looks like it might go to the firewall for the HVAC solenoid inside the car. There should be 2 hoses coming out of the firewall at the Heater Core barbs. Otherwise, follow it back to the other end and snap a pic for us. Obviously one of the ends is connected.

I've also had bad shocks cause excessive wear (tyres become scalloped out, do a google image search if you arent sure what this looks like) Generally: outer wear on both sides is low tyre pressure excessive wear in the centre of the tyre is over inflation excessive but even wear, on the inner...

You wont have an issue with VE parts. I can still get some VT/VX parts from a dealer, it really just depends on what. The less common parts will eventually run out of stock and cease to be manufactured, but common trim pieces, caps, suspension pieces etc will be around for a while

Not the contrast is it? On my WM if i adjust the contrast up too high everything gets washed out and super bright. Too low and its all grey and almost black n white.

That aside, shouldnt be any other problems. A good mate of mine replaced the rear end in his VX I with a VY subframe for the same reason. Straight swap.

Hey mate, dont have any measurements unfortunately, i might still have the templates around somewhere though..

make sure that the relay you used for your power windows is YELLOW, not BLUE. If you use a blue one, your window wont work in one direction. I had this problem when i converted my VT wagon to elec windows. Wouldn't go down, but would auto UP (manually put it down with a battery, then used the...

If you're planning on using an Arduino to control the flip up / flip down system, you may aswell add a canshield to the Arduino, and use it to sniff canbus for steering remote controls.

You dont need to drop anything to remove the alternator.

Actually, come to think of it.... You've got 2 amps. One would be a 4 channel for the speakers, and a monoblock for the subs. Since your subs keep playing, the issue is with the 4channel amp. Check your remote trigger wires (im assuming you needed to bridge them between the two amps?) Your...

Either lose terminals, or the amp is going into protection mode. Check your voltage with the sound system running. The fact that you used to be able to run it at 30-35 and now only 16 might mean your battery is getting low. have somebody look at the amps in the boot while you crank it up. You...

I'd love to know this. Only problem would be sourcing one of these super chargers... wont be showing up on ebay any time soon thats for sure!

Needs to be programmed with a Tech2. Holden can do this, so can anybody else with one (some auto elecs, a scan tool wont do though)

Honestly, if you're after an economy GAIN, cam / turbo / supercharger are out the window. That said, with some decent extractors, high flow cat, cat back and OTR / TUNE, you'll be at around 225rwkw with better economy than stock (granted you drive it the same, but most dont!)

If you struggled with either, and are converting your existing dash loom, stop now. If you want to do it properly you will need: VY Dash / Enginebay loom VY Door looms (different plugs, VT had white plugs, VX+ have black ones with different pins) VY Body Loom VY BCM / Keyhead You can do a...

I'd say they put the drive shafts in without putting locktight on the threads. A mate did this on his VX..... over a few hundred kms the allen key bolts that go into the diff and hubs wound out. Im guessing this happened to you (explains the missing ones) and the 2 remaining weren't strong...

It's the memory seats that are giving you grief. If you open up your drivers door, there will be a module attached to your power window switch. Remove this module and plug the loom straight into the switch.

What loom mate? Engine? Body? Dash? Door?

a month for paint to dry? How does that even happen....

no hope mate. Fronts maybe if you swapped the rails over, but rears definately wont fit without heavy mods.

take your door trim off, get in the car and lock / unlock the car so you can see where its getting stuck. If your door trims have been off recently, sometimes people bend the lock rod which causes it to get stuck which may have happened.. Either way... with the door trim off you'll see where...

Depending on your cars color, you might find a used genuine guard in good condition for cheap. (150-200). An aftermarket guard is still going to cost you to get painted. If you need to ask, and you are trying to save money, find a good second hand one and swap it right over with no need to...

transponders are easy to program, its the keyfob thats more difficult to program. This requires a tech2, TIS approval and all keys that need to be used with the car need to be reprogrammed. You cannot simply "add" a remote. You need to remove them all and add them all again in sequence. (also...

270rwkw from an unopened 5.7 is crazy. No other work done? No head work / otr etc?

Hey mate, nah never tried. Why do you ask? Pretty sure you need to get a specialist to do it.

I think 231 RWKW with a catback only is a bit high. My 6ltr WM Caprice when the engine was stock, dyno'd 204rwkw (pre-tune) with HSV headers + Cats and a Walkinshaw exhaust. OTR and cam brought this up to 278.

One of the O2 sensors in my WM Caprice 6ltr was faulty. Error pointed towards faulty heating circuit. Car is also on gas (vapor injected) and stuttered when cold, but was fine when warmed up (assume that the exhaust gases heat up the sensor to operating temps eventually) The VE's will disable...
