Yea possibly. Sorry ring gear, I'm confusing myself with this whole diff gearbox issues over the last 2 weeks. I spoke to a transmission shop today, they say 95% chance it's clutch related. 90% chance bleeding the system will fix the problem.

That's what I first thought. Just seems strange that all 3 gears at once??

Hi I am looking for advice /ideas. I have tried searches but had no luck. The problem is with my t56 manual box in my vy ss. About a week ago I was having a bit of a play around and mid way through a powers kid I broke/ground one of the spider gears on my 3.9 minispool diff, I realized what...

yes its a rule, its in what i believe if called the vehicle descriptors? correct me if im wrong, basically a police officer can issue a vehicle defect for anything that is not to factory specification from this document, it is then up to the authorised inspector to work out wether it is in...

mate there was a how to but im pretty sure it was deleted, i did this conversion on my entire dash, you need to be very good with a soldering iron, i tell you now though id much ratehr pay someone to do it rather than do it again, phreddy does the conversions, as well as a few guys on ebay

i had this problem where i couldnt change it from windscreen, i had left a vacuum hose disconnected when changing the spark plugs on my alloytec, look for disconnected / perished vacuum hoses .

well in all the vt - vz rear stock springs ive removed ive never been able to use spring compressors due to lack of space, id love to know what holden use, ive used different lengths but found the old pinch bar does the job alot better, but please if you are going to put any part of your body...

a few more pics monroe gt sport front struts are in too ran a piss poor 13.7 at wsid, had a big traction issue pretty much span 200m on my best run

Haha yea I get up there a bit even though I'm at cooranbong now..you prob know my old car too it was a bagged silver vz Calais with ve gts wheels?

Cheers mate, the second pic is as is now with the lowered rear shocks and the twin hump hard lid. Yea that would be sweet. I can find the hooded style for vy and vz without climate but would rather the twin hump style.

Thought id start up a thread of my vy It is a 2004 series 2 vy HBD ss manual Red ute it has red leather and climate (HBD option) when i brought it 2 months ago it was stock appart from the following: ssl front and rear extractors, hiflow cats, 2.5 inch dual exhaust Red ls1 engine covers...

yes exactly, infact most larger rims have a bore size to suit pre ve and tyre shops will fit a spacer ring to the hub when fitting these wheels to a ve, in my opinion the spacer rings are a wank too, the pressure is on the flat surface on the front of the hub, with the wheel nuts torqued up...

no it isnt at all

it is just a approx 4mm wide lip around the inner of the wheel where the hub sits that needs to be ground / filed back flush with the rest of the hub, easy job, it can also be done using a file but this involves allot more work but still only about 20 min per wheel

sorry meant die grinder, too much of the word dremel getting thrown around the lubricant makes it a shitload quicker

i do it to all my ve rims i get and all my mates ones using my dremel, all genuine holden rims, little bit of lubricant and about 30 sec per wheel, better than paying $20 upwards per rim to get it done

pinching a bag i must say id have to dissagree, as i said i only have standard rear shocks so they limit the drop, the bags have about another 20-30mm free play before either end plate is hard up against one another.

The common term around my area is Bagged out, but Aired out, Dumped, Dropped, Baggin it out all mean the same thing, Air spring with air completely deflated. front bags are coming, just trying to find the best value for money without comprimising performance with relaibility, they also cost alot...

i havent had any trouble with my drive shafts, when it is "bagged out" i am always sure not to accelerate too hard in order to minimise stress on driveshafts, and diff, shocks ect.

if you do the bag kit properly, bolt in bags not drop in it will be as low. my limiting factor is my factory shocks, with bags deflated completely the shocks are fully compressed and stop the car from dropping any further, i could go shortened shocks and get another 20-30mm drop but at the...

Here are some more photos, i went a bit snap happy with my bag setup as you will see i went for practicality where the compressors and tank take up as least space in my boot as possible.. This is a Pannel i made up to muffle some of the compressor sound when the middle seat is...

sorry and yea bags are bolt in, i sourced all the bag parts from different US sellers and installed them myself

hey yea i will be sure to get up some more pics soon

Hey, thought id put up a few pics of my 2005 Silver Vz Calais, it has the 190kw alloytec (yes V6 as i am still on my P's) and 5 speed paddle shift auto Modifications so far: 2.5 inch twin xforce exhaust VE GTS 20's SSL front King springs Rear Air Bag Suspension consisting of...

try behind the right hand side rear quarter carpet, near the plug that you have to pull out to pull back the carpet, there is a connector with 2 wires and one of them is the supply for the factory sunroof when fitted, then all you need is a fuse under the dash.

kk give me a week or so to get some pics

you could always do a foot on (come to a complete stop, left foot hard on brake, then quickly push your right foot on the accelerator flat to the floor)in the wet with esp on you will get a small amount of slip and the car will start to creep forward, then turn esp off, with foot hard on...

ok what would you like to know about in particular?

also i might add that the genuine guages WONT fit standard vz exec, sv6 or ss without climate control. for these models the pod can be simply purchased from an auto store like auto barn along with the gauges which will come with wiring diagrams and a new oil pressor sendor will need to be...

well i have installed oil pressure and volts, i will need a week or so to pull it appart and re do a couple of things before i take photos and post instructions:)

firstly the car with the chev badge had been brought that way and has since been changed back to holden one, i am a apprentice leco, one is an apprentice boilermaker, one an apprentice chef, and the other works at an auto parts store, please dont be jealous we all have the loans to prove we own...

Series 2 vx was modified to make camber better. Unless you have lowered it to at least superlows you SHOULDNT have much camber if not any...

On my vz v6 calais i dont get any warning when tc is activated, tc is incorporated with esp. However if at speed in the wet powersliding or turning really hard esp cuts in, straightens the car, slows it down and displays a warning message for the duration but dissapears immediately after. Go to...

i know it isnt a current challenge but here is a pic of me and my mates silver vzs

I have recnetly installed Genuine Vz binnacle Gauges in my vz v6 calais, i done pleanty of research into how to do it but didnt have much luck , in the end i gave it a go tackling each problem as i came to it. just wanted to see who would be interested in me spending the time/ taking photos ect...

personally i think the ve 6 sp autos are crap compared to my 5 sp auto in my vz calais, i found they were even more computer controlled.. because i use my car every day for at least 2 hours i am happy that i got an auto so i can eat, drink, scratch balls ect.. but still have the option of my...

you can definantly remove both back ones and i think the middle drivers side plug by just removing the engine covers. the coils are held in with one bolt each about 10mm head then with a little bit of force they pop out. its easier if you can remove the input plug first. i had a faulty coil and...

you could always just pull out the three plugs that are easy to get to and have a look at them... it could very well be one of your coils aswell, finding out which one will be process of elimination.

spark plugs?

if the lock does pop up but not all the way it may just need some wd 40 on the actuator and mechanism, Have heard it it quite common that they get dirt build up and become sticky, however if the lock doenst pop up at all than that sounds like the actuator itself.
