Hi guys need some advice please. I bought a VY Berlina privately 2000kms ago and it's since developed a bottom end knock. I've taken it to a workshop and they've had a look at the oil and found a lot of metal in it. My options would be reconditioning the engine or sourcing another ecotec...

Great thanks i'll have a look and report back

Hello, I bought my Berlina privately recently and drove it in the dark for the first time last night. I found the headlamps produce uneven light, the left will emit further distance and the right side seems more concentrated on the foreground closer to the car. Is there some kind of...

I was hoping for more volume and better quality of sound but i found out the hard way how low the power output of the factory unit is so i understand where you're coming from. It's interesting the Hertz sensitivity is rated at 92db which i thought would have been pretty efficient, oh well...

Cheers for the reply. I understand that more power will yield the best gains but for the moment i can't justify the money while i'm at uni. Anyway i was hoping the Jaycar Response 6.5"s were low end enough to run off the stock HU but at the same time be better than stock? The Hertz splits...

Hello EDIT: by 2 way i actually meant coaxial I spent the best part of yesteday installing some Hertz 6.5" splits i had laying around but they sound terrible running off the standard HU. I don't want to spend the money or time with organising an amp so i'm just going to move the splits on...

Hello I spent the best part of yesteday installing some Hertz 6.5" splits i had laying around but they sound terrible running off the standard HU. I don't want to spend the money or time with organising an amp so i'm just going to move the splits on. What i'd like to hear from anyone who...

Just a big tv i guess. Hope it still works actually... Thanks for the input, i'll get stuck into it over the weekend. Its a shame its not a part i can really upgrade while i'm at it :P Any more tips are appreciated to help me get it done smoothly :) Cheers!

My bad, replaced with a proper link.

Hey guys I was moving my TV and went around a corner too quickly. Hello cracked interior piece. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sebastiengerard/4380226279 Has anyone replaced this part before? The seatbelt runs through it and it looks like a pain in the ass but it bothers me so much...

Man i live in mandurah and i spent $600 on 4 tyes recently. Could have bought these instead :P

I have noticed the same thing as of yesterday. If i jump in my car before ive even started it i can just smell fuel... Though if i pull the windows down it goes away. Ill try checking my fuel cap this arvo

Hi anyone replaced a rear wheel hub on a vy commodore series II? I got quoted 3.5 hours labour and was told it was a pain in the ass. Had my front left hub replaced for only $250 afew months back by the same guy so im a bit confused. Long story short he told me he doesnt have the tools...

I was told by Ultratune there's two levels of auto servicing. Theres the filter and fluid change, and there's also a more expensive service where you can flush it.

Hey Im wanting to get my auto fully serviced. Does anyone know a good place to get it done SOR Perth? Or anywhere in perth really.. Its on 128,000kms and i wanna make shifts a bit smoother blah blah. Cheers!

Great sounds easy enough I'll give it a go this week. Thanks!

So there's already a factory crossover in the dash i can just replace it with mine? Or are you referring to what i'll need to do with my current gear going in. Im going to be running it straight from the headunit for the time being

Also i hear getting to the tweeters is quite difficult also. If only i could find a tutorial!

Well that's another thing i'm trying to get my head around. Wiring. To run my splits i need + & - straight to the crossover, and then its easy to wire in tweeters and woofers from there. But i dont know how its currently set up with the current splits. Are they being fed from a crossover...

looks tidy, my tweets dont have that kind of surround they're better off in the dash or doors where ya cant see em

Hey! I've got a pair of Hertz splits i want to throw in the VY series II. Just wanting to find out if anyone has placed the tweeters in the doors next to the woofers as opposed to having them in the dash? Hope someone has had some success with this because that'll make everything alot easier...

Hey I know there's a bloke painting on white walls in eastern states- is there someone in Perth performing this also? Cheers

Nice. Local shops are quoting about $900 for a reco lsd installed if anyone was curious. Pretty cheap for alot of fun i rekn

Minispool sounds like a welded diff, i assume the attraction is its stronger? I'll probably stick to looking for an LSD. Im not going to be doing nuts but i do give the car alot of stick Cheers for the replies - Anyone know some good places to keep an eye open for a diff in Perth? I'm...

Whats involved with a minispool? Is there much labour $ to get someone to swap diffs over? alternatively is it hard to do ureself and whats tools and used?

Hey guys I've got a VY series II V6 -getting tired of a single spinner.. Whats the easiest way to get an LSD. can i replace a part within the standard diff or do i need to replace the entire diff - or more??

Iblown i've been lucky enough to have the beginning and "final product" of what you've done all in the same read. very nicely done mate I'd love to be able to do that kind of thing in my spare time one day. Hows your box and diff holding up?

Raptor would probably give you more power in the short term, but putting in the l67 will give you a stronger foundation to modify into the future

There's more internal difference than simply the compression. Ive read somewhere on here that pistons, rods, balance shaft & harmonic balancer are different. Must be afew more things too. Easiest thing to do would be to source a low km variant i would have thought? Less $ on labour as...

Hey! quick question as im about the run out of battery and the charger is downstairs. haha my 04 series II VY auto hesitates/misfires intermittently. Heres how it happens. If im in D and i floor it while its stationary it feels like it stutters trying to pick up as quickly as it can. If i...

Any pictures? Whats involved?

Yeah but the guy at Holden said at the sky is the limit, but starting price is one hour labour for $126~. I dont want to pay $200 for a cluster and find out after they've fixed it up for me that they want $300 or something stupid So has anyone had a chance to do this? My cluster is above...

Holllla! Because i've spoken to three different holden dealers and all of them consistently fail to be any help, i've decided to log in again! I've got afew things i want to do and would just like to hear from anyone who's undergone the same thing 1) I'd like to change the grill on my VY II...

Hey James, Thanks man i'll have a look at it then, i had a feeling it would be something like that. Not a bad little function really but it's a little too overprotective at times

i can faintly hear it, only because i listen out for it because i'm pedantic.. I'm not worried though whenever it decides to let go it'll be a good reason to throw in an LSD. Speaking of which does anyone know how i can work out if its LSD or not without jumping on the anchors and giving...

Hey nice forum lads n ladies, I picked up a VY series II acclaim today and the stock headunit may be playing up. At first i thought it was the speed sensitive volume that can be applied but i think its just faulty. You can turn it up and see the volume bars going up, but it gets to a certain...
