    [VIC] 20inch 20" XHP shorline chrome rims wheels with tyres 85% tread.

    Yeah I have an idea on shipping costs. (150-300$) Thanks for the weight, I've just got quotes. Unfortunately 1600 is too expensive for me with shipping on top, I've seen shorelines brand new $1000 still in the box. (and one recently elsewhere for $1k with 2 good tyres) Very keen on them, but...

    PC dead. MoBo or power supply?

    Sounds like PSU, but.... take the ATX connector off from the motherboard, grab a paperclip and put it into the green and any of the black earth wires. This should turn the psu On, and you can put a multi meter on the other pins to check if its live, or just ensure that the psu is ON ( see if the...

    first mods VY clubby

    pacemaker 4 into 1's, high flow cats. that'd be about $1500 installed. Save up after that and get a OTRCAI and tune package once you have the exhaust complete.

    VT VX WH Diff Tailshaft Issue & Question

    Bought a diff which i believe to be either out of a VY or VX clubsport manual, so is LSD 3.73 ratio. It does not fit my statesman as the tailshaft in it is of the VT type (4 bolt metal on metal) rather than the 6 bolt rubber dampened style that the diff accepts. I have been told to make...

    Need help with EPA defect?

    I would speak to your tuner about getting the tune modified to try and remove the rough idle... Have heard this can be adjusted in a tune (to an extent), as for reducing the sound by 2db surely you can go to an exhaust shop and they may have an old muffler lying around they can weld in for you?

    Things that make you cringe.

    YES!, Stupid me drained the diff oil and it went all over my concrete path out front of the house. 4 weeks later and multiple heavy rains, it still stinks like ****. Need to get a pressure washer and degreaser.

    Revenue & Vandalism of Fixed speed Cameras

    I've always thought a black garbage bag over the camera would do the trick, you're not damaging anything, but it is rendering it inoperable. :]

    How hard/whats involved?

    Not a hard job to remove it... Injectors are cheap ( i have some here just need new hosetails) ive just done the conversion from non turbo to turbo..... stil pretty simple. I'd get a N/A VL turbo (higher compression engine) or a N/A non turbo vl that you can turbo after you get off your p's.

    How hard/whats involved?

    Remove manifold, turbo, oil/water lines (put bolts in the block to bung this up) You'll need to get a N/A intake pipe and airbox. Bolt up some headers/extractors or a N/A exhaust manifold. Put in N/A ECU and fuel injectors (requires removal of the fuel rail and top half of plenum). There you...

    RB30 PCV valve thread

    Hey all, Have put a catch can on my rb30, it is vented (track car, so doesnt matter). I have removed the PCV valve from the plenum but trying to track down the thread size of this valve, I am after a barbed fitting to screw into it's place (either 6mm, 3mm or 1/4 barb) for my boost gauge...

    question about mafless

    You can plug it back in, if this is for a regency inspection I was told by my tuner that in the recent years they have been unplugging maf's to check whether it triggers the warning light on in the dash... if not, no pass.

    water leaking out of boot lid after rain.

    Oh Really? Are they in the same spots as the above image? Could you take a pic of yours? I have siliconed the bolts where the garnish bolts up and just behind the garnish, which reduced the water quite significantly but not 100%.

    [LS3] advice to make my exhaust quiet

    Straight pipe as in, no mufflers from the cats back? no hotdog resonators, no cannons, just 2.5" pipe and nothing more? Put 2 good sports mufflers in the middle and call it a day (one either side just after the cats, so one per bank of 4 cylinders), 'tis what i have on my stato (albeit ls1)...

    My Vl Turbo Conversion

    Ah, fair enough. I have an ebay special on at the moment, seems alright. I figure if it cracks I'll just fork out the extra for a decent one. I got it 2nd hand (but not used) quite cheap. and it came with an ebay spec wastegate too...

    My Vl Turbo Conversion

    Hey mate what sort of external wastegate are you using? The manifold looks stainless from here, is it an ebay spec high mount? Just in the process of hooking up all of my turbo gear to my r31, but have a feeling I have the same wastegate and manifold as you do, so after some feedback if...

    Rb30e to Rb30et (Highcomp)

    Yeah found out tonight after buying 2 new studs (smaller length) that after sitting the manifold on it's going to hit on the bottom studs. So will need to put smaller ones in anyway, gonna buy another 10 tomorrow. :)

    Rb30e to Rb30et (Highcomp)

    Bump. Removed the manifold from my rb30 in the skyline yesterday, came off no issues.... Stud bolts were really lose, 2 studs (cylinder 6, or whatever is closest to the firewall) just wound straight out with the nut on there. My question is, I have been told I should replace the studs as they...

    Cold start splutter

    I was told that if you unplug the afm it wont rev past 2k and goes into limp home mode. EDIT: Also, the above air regulator fix actually corrected the issue. It no longer sputters on cold start and revs fine, runs well now. And it did die the same as it was previously with the AFM unplugged...

    VL stalling and backfiring on cold start

    I had the same issue with my r31 skyline. It turned out to be the Air Regulator was shut. Air Regulator - R31info I dont know if vl's have them but, undo the small nut in the picture, put a screwdriver in the air regulator and pull the nut towards the front of the car, then tighten it up.

    VL V8 commodore not pumping fuel

    Rip it out and put a multimeter on the pump terminals/wire and see if it has power? Could be a blown fuel pump fuse even, or bad wiring or a relay

    Cold start splutter

    Think i fixed it, wil have to see when it is dead cold again.. Air Regulator - R31info It may have been this all along. Just unscrew the bolt, slide it towards you and enlarge the hole, voila! Still unsure as the car had been run in the last 2 hours but will see tomorrow morning!

    Cold start splutter

    Alright so, I replaced the coolant temp sensor and the plug as the wires were frayed. Re-soldered a newie from the wrecker and put a new sensor on. Cut the rusted rear muffler out too, it sounded like sand when you rolled it around, terrible! Bled the coolant and topped her up :) After it...
