So I'm looking at the speaker wires rear right of my vz Sv8 and i have brown/black yellow/green. Those colours aren't listed in the OP....

Lmao. Kinda have a right to be all tangentric in your own thread... I think what that guy meant to say was tell me about the kitchen please.

I would be worried about light from man made sources making your sensors think its daytime, like someone flashes high beams at you and your driving lights flash them back.

Ill be interested to see how the taillight upgrade goes. You're basically just changing the illumination inside the tail light itself right? So externally it will be the same just brighter? How will you define a difference between tail lights and brake lights with leds? just have more wired up...

My experience with pinging has always been high load low revs. As in driving along at 30kph and then putting it in 5th gear and putting my foot down. My ss does it when running on 91 on a hot day. I always run 98 because of pinging.

I'll put some photos up tomorrow or something. The tops of the skirt things ( does anyone know what the actual name for them is...?), where the rivets were is actually pretty flat its the sides of them that are out of whack, where the hooks for the tonneau cover are they're welded underneath and...

So to update..... Endless sanding. Lol. Doors are cleaned up and sanded to the point where they are ready to body fill some dents and finalize the prep. The rest of the body I ran over with a whizzy at 80 grit and then 180. Still gotta do a whole bunch of hand sanding to the body. Bonnet is...

I've always swapped them around depending on what you're trying to troubleshoot at the time you can read on the fusebox thingy generally what each relay is for and use one that is not essential for making the car start to switch around into some other positions.

Front guards VR/VS? Availability/price/condition?

I've gotten jack of the amount of heat that comes through my firewall and along the gearbox tunnel, and just generally permeating the cab from the engine. I bought some header wrap spent an hour fiddling around with it on the passenger side, with the extractors on the car...had a couple of...

I'm planning on enclosing my carport area dexter style lol. Gonna get some cheap ass blue tarps from Bunnings and a tonne of plastic drop sheets I'll use to cover the brickwork ceiling and also for masking the car too. But I'll probably try to spray only the sides behind the doors the pillar and...

+1 on diff backlash. My backlash is so bad i was scared to let anyone else drive my ute it just seemed like one little dump of the clutch would send metal bits flying out the diff.... A little bit of backlash is nothing new on a vr-vs with a bunch of k's or a few burnouts under its belt...

Yeah...you gotta go through the list...fuel spark air. Check fuses and relays too.

Not really sure...The only way i have ever depressurised my fuel system, is by waiting till the car is cold, putting out my ciggy, dropping some sunnies over my eyes and undoing something, like a rubber hose at the back of the fuel rail...I've never seen any particularly impressive spouts of...

I reckon i'd leave the stripes as is, it works the way it is now, and the stripe sort of returns on itself at the front and looks clean the way it is, i think if you put a stripe on the front bumper it would look wierd having the stripe hook around under the lion.

Nice dude. Looks like you have your work cut out for you... good luck making the deadline.

Yeah...first off... I hope all your power wiring for the sub and amp and stuff is good...and not grounding or doing anything funky. Second check that the battery isn't flat... Thirdly start going through the fuse box and see if any are blown. Did you do anything live while u were installing the...

Compressor is working again...go figure. Pretty sure i went through everything possible when the thing stopped working... dunno... sure beats taking it to get repaired anyways. Maybe it didn't break and im just an idiot...

Yeah looking into it at the moment. Like most things it comes down to a cost question. This whole project started out with a budget of nothing really. Original plan was to slap a door on and rattle can it white. I've already spent nearly 400 and I haven't bought any paint at all yet. After...

By the way.....my blackridge compressor died yesterday. After 3 weeks. It has a 12 month warranty and basically cost nothing in the deal i got it with so im not too butthurt about it. Though...its not going to just be replaced...I have to either take it down to the service centre myself, or take...

I would say either go 2k or go acrylic. I dont see iso free 2k having an advantage over either. I think there's a reason why there isn't a whole lot of brands that do it.

Yeah...the bog looks good the problem is feathering so i dont have an edge where it starts/ends. Shouldn't be too hard anyways, its really a light skim anyway i've sanded through the edge a bit already. Yeah i've watched the custom spray mods videos. I've watched a tonne of videos...read a...

Well, to be honest... If you pay an engineer to look at something you've done and know is safe and secure, and they give you a piece of paper, that classifies as money for nothing in my book...Or money for little... Either way i always planned to fit the seats in a manner that wouldn't require...

Dont do it, its a trap. These are mine at the moment because im trying to patch the holes that someone else had made putting one of those tonneau covers on at some point in my utes life, when i bought it there was a standardish elastic hook cover on it...So I assume they dont last...or...

I actually bought a bottle of rust convertor today too, but when i was reading it the label kind of said that it would convert rust now but wouldn't prevent future rust. I might give that stuff a go anyway as i already have it....Maybe if you dont wipe it off it will sort of leave a bit of...

Should i use one of these for my rust removal? Septone Super Etch Primer - 400g - Supercheap Auto Australia Septone Primer Surfacer - Grey Acrylic, 400g - Supercheap Auto Australia Septone Primer Filler - Beige, 400g - Supercheap Auto Australia Septone Enamel Grey Primer - 400g -...

So I was sanding away and I found this.... I think its previous bog work...doesn't seem too serious but i guess i gotta take it back past that now... Couple of questions...firstly there is pop rivet holes all along my rails with the tonneu hooks on them...trying to work out if i should...

Good to know iso free 2k is on the same playing field as acrylic... I dont have an intimate knowledge of the applicable laws, i had just always gathered that it is illegal to spray 2k in your backyard. Even if its not illegal...it would be immoral to spray the stuff if kids playing in the...

is iso free 2k legal to spray without a booth and stuff? Iso free 2k is like low tar cigarettes, its all bad for you...even acrylic will disagree with you if ur not using the right ppe. I'd be interested to know if isocynates or whatever its called was the only bad thing in 2k...that is...

Actually the one I have isn't even mounted fully vertically because of space issue on the compressor outlets. Where did you get your 600ml ones from? Price? Cheers for the response an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

SCA Air Regulator - Filter - Supercheap Auto Australia SCA Inline Moisture Filter - Disposable, 2 Piece - Supercheap Auto Australia These two are what im planning on using to keep my air clean for spraypainting. I already have the air regulator filter down by the tap on the compressor...

Little pic of one of my leather seats mocked in there. Still a little bit of grinding and bolting up to be done to get them in properly, but i have a vision of how it will work at least now....I put the job in the too hard basket ages ago...pulled it out of the too hard basket the other day and...

Pulled the seats and a bunch of interior out and started to clean up some more dirt and dust out of the nooks and crannies today. Rough sanded the top skirt thingies the hooks for the cover are on too. Thinking about leaving the plastic tub liner out and if so will need to patch a bunch of pop...

Seat rails out of a vs drill some holes to bolt seat bottom to base do some grinding of stuff to bolt backrest to seat bottom and bobs ur uncle. Now to work out how to get the back electrical adjustments to work

Any updates?

I have pacemakers and a 2 1/2 inch system on my VG ute. I put the pacies on myself ( shoulda painted them first they were second hand =( ). And the exhaust was made up by everlast mufflers in adelaide...There's no rear resonator and whilst it sounds great....to the untrained ear ( i've had...

Not much new to report...Waiting on funds really to get some more sandpaper and some fittings and stuff for the compressor. Really hating trying to remove paint from stuff, like the nooks and crannys of some of the plastic bits like the bumpers and the rear corners and nooks and crannys of the...

I remember when cruising around was fun... Im not sure why its been made virtually illegal to take pride in your car....But the shift in law and the change in attitude has worked on me. I hate driving my SS these days. I never take it anywhere near the city or the beach because im always so...

Finished getting the roof sort of ready for bog today, among other things. Had a bit of a failure when i pulled out some of the sanding discs i got for my air dual action, only the first packet of 60 grit was the velcro stuff i need, appartently the rest are all stick on which is useless to me...

Those mirrors look mint =)
