Could also be low fuel pressure cause the fuel pump is on the way out. Get someone to turn the ignition on while you stick your head under the fuel tank and listen to the pump priming. If it sounds really noisy or like it is struggling it may be stuffed. This was the problem I had with mine

A coil pack may have died and therefore the engine is only running on like 4 cylinders. I had similar symptoms and this was the issue. I think my mechanic replaced the coils then discovered it was actually the control module the coils plug into. Try pulling spark leads off while the engine is...

Haha probably is, will see what happens next time I'm being scrutinised by Mr police man. They always do a walk round checking tread and things anyway. The joys of being a male P Plater in a commodore...

If you want to save money I recommend just using premium like 95 or 98. My V6 VT Manual only gets around 13L/100km on regular 91 around town. But using 95 it runs smoother and gets around 10L/100km. Used a full tank of BP Ultimate 98 once and got ~800km from the tank. Drove from Tamworth -...

I had a similar problem in my VT, check the fuel pump, it may be on the way out. Does it only stall when idling or decelerating? Mine did this because it was losing fuel pressure. Stick your head under the fuel tank and have a listen while the car is running. If the fuel pump sounds really noisy...

this post has blown my mind

@ F l a k Ok man I'll check the SuperPros out, if they sell them at Super Cheap that would be good cause I'm getting the springs and shocks from there thru a mate at staff prices, which is basically cost yewww. Do you know if they sell a kit for whole car or front and back sets? Or will I need...

Cool thanks mate

Hi all, My mechanic recently told me all the bushings in my 98 VT V6 are shagged (done 345,000km lol) So I'm think of lowering it now and replacing all the bushes with Nolathanes at the same time. I have been looking on the Nothalane website and they have two different kits, one for...

Hey mate I had the same problem in my VT, it was the coil pack also however I need the entire ignition module replaced (its basically the base plate that all the coil packs run off) Hope that helps

Mate check out streetwagons.com for some inspiration. Some of the wagons on there are nuts! But yeah as above a decent tint, lowered, exhaust system (either catback or full extractors) would get her looking schmick! Maybe some bags in the back if thats your thing?

I was was fiddling around putting some neons in my old VR and had cut the wires to extend them from the inverter. Lost concentration and picked a wire up in each hand with it all connected and on. Shocked the baajezzus outta me and being AC current think it messed with the ticker as my chest...

Yeah also got mine Yesterday

Yeah mate you'll probably have to replace nearly every fuse

There ya go mate thats the VE GTS rims and lowered a bit. Not a great job just quickly whipped it up im sure Trayner can do far better. Something to go off tho!

I think im going to do this. I use all of my boot space too often to have a sub in box. Ill let you all know when I get around to having a go at it

is it possible to get a calais parcel shelf and fit it to a lower model such as my exec? or does the actual metalframe work underneath need modifying hence the illegalness?

anyone got a clip of what this system sounds like?

Cool thats all the convincing I need. Eh that said still like VY mirrors... Yeah I did read that the wiring needs to be modified that doesn't bother me. Cheers guys!

Hey Guys, I'm tossing up whether to get these mirrors from Ebay: HOLDEN COMMODORE VT VX VY CARBON ELECTRIC MIRROR - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 30-Aug-09 20:42:02 AEST) Or a set of VY mirrors. What do you think of the...

Ive got same boot problem, where abouts are these drain holes located? Like lift up the boot and along the bottom there or something?

I know in recent model Toyota Prados all the windows are automatic. Not sure where the 'programming' for this comes from but maybe you can adapt the controller from a wreckers or something? if that makes any sense?

that hsv badge on the flap, i had that idea the other day. Thought yeah that'll be unique... But you've long beat me too it. Good to see how good it looks tho!

Hey bro very nice. I too saw this on carsales and wanted it soo bad! Congrats. Go the manual!

Im Twig on MEA. Been following your commodore install over there. :)

Hey SPLcamry you wouldnt be from over MEA would you?

Holy crap this thing went for over 5 grand!!!

Down here in Albury there is a green VE SS. It has a few extra aerials on the boot and two little boxes either side of the rear number plate. it follows me outta town nearly everytime i leave boarding school to home of a weekend. Or maybe i just time it with shift change for the highway guys...

Nah headlights work both low and high beam. So does parkers. really got me stumped. I got 2 new bulbs from supercheap today so ill replace the most clouded bulbs and see how that goes

Although i dont really want to buy a new cluster from wreckers or holden, if i was going to, what is the newest cluster that will fit into a vr? only like a vs? or could a vx or something fit? would be sweet to have a new dash cluster

Thanks guys ill check every fuse in the car, but that one must work cause it runs the ignition too. I might just replace some anyway as they are looking a bit old. Yeah do have all other lights in the car

Hi Guys, Was driving along the other night when a sound like a bulb popping came from the speedo etc and all the lights went out. was flying blind. When I got home i checked the fuse, was fine, so removed dash and pulled out cluster and checked every bulb, none blown. Any suggestions? I'll try...

Hi Thanks for replying, Havent gotten around to looking at it yet what with xmas and work etc but when I do I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Guys, I have a similar problem to Azzman, the air always blows on my feet when I accelerate and when going uphill but then goes back to normal once no longer accelerating or on on flat ground. Would it be a similar solution? Cheers, Twig

Hi Everyone, Just joined your site. Love it. This is my new car a '93 VR Acclaim. I'm flat broke now and can't afford any mods yet but cant wait to upgrade the sound system and get a new exhaust kits from the cats back. Tell us what you reckon, Cheers
