2nd hand coils will just be test and evaluation purposes, as i mentioned we had a no communication to ecu error previously which caused the no-start, so i am still not ruling out some shinanigans with wiring.

nah. this is actually a really clean unmolested example of VX which is causing severe head scratching. im leaning towards coils. tried measuring the primary/secondarys but got no readings. turns out you cant test them that way. due to this being the third visit, my company will have to foot...

we couldnt diagnose the original "no start" because we had no comms with ecu. after hunting round just comms (thanks again guys) found it was a known issue for abs modules to interfere with data bus. so once it was unplugged we regained communication and were able to find we lost 3x signal from...

confused as to whether the earth (red/blk, pin L) supplies earth to ecu or ecu supplies earth to dfi. if dfi is unplugged then red/blk is open circuit. am i onto something?

lost CKP signal through the module. no 3 or 18x coming up on scantool. no rpm. even though its cranking. think the client only did a few kms, parked up then no start the next morning. we only did very short test drives due to vehicle being unregd

hi folks, the ol' burnt out dfi module trick. thing is, im on dfi module number 3 now. need to know what can cause them to fry. all new modules were brand new "delphi" units, all the thermal grease was properly applied, coils are not new, but getting the apprentice to measure the primary and...

heya fellas long time no see. got a vz v6 here thats a no start, no fuel pressure no spark. car came in diagnosed as faulty PCM(the one on the engine) so it was replaced. 4 digit TIS code was provided by holden dealer, seemed to link ok. i got a code for the vehicle and a code for the...

so its been a while since the last update. after being looked after by sabathSS (thanks mate) it made the long haulto broome: had some fun on the way, the dizzy decided to throw the rotor button along the nullarbor, the transmission nearly cooked, but still lives (phew) we drove...

the firewall has broken, i had to fix one recently. prick of a job to do properley.

fk that pajero off and never ever ever buy a mitsubishi again.

they are pretty close to each other, and are a pain to get on, but they should be doable. are they higher rockers to allow rollers? are the engine mounts ok? is the block sitting where it should be? there should be no reason to change the booster. unless youre using aftermarket rockers and...

soon enough ;)

your face hurts

shiny cars that are lowered with big V8's are stupid. this is truely the only way to enjoy a project car:

heavy rains recently? its possible the outside vent has filled with water and its getting into the HVAC unit...

AC is very important in a high performance V8...

hahah 2 years later... no worries mate

the VN series 2 alternator (with internal fan) is rated at 120A. bosch factory units are FAR better than proflow ****.

considering trans temps can run up into the high 120C under load and radiator operating temp is around 90C... id would NEVER rely solely on a trans cooler. always fit the cooler then the radiator in series. this will help balance out the temperature going into the trans so you dont get...

yup. pretty sure the VF has a straight spline with 3 keyways. VK is tots different

black is earth blue is positive. thats if youre installing it downstream. reverse the polarity if your installing upstream (fan in front of the radiator) the two connectors are standard narva bullets, black is female and blue is male so youll need to get the opposites. they do this so you cant...

lol, theyre there. just installed on the inside :p youll have to stick your head underneath it to truely appreciate them

is your trans still attached?

thanks fellas. I wouldn't say I'm "back" as such, more like I have internet access again after a long while. I decided to drop off the face of the planet for a bit to get my bearings on life again, as it happens I just ended up working at a mechanics workshop in broome. but I'm only here for a...

that's quite the list (way to make me feel bad btw.... dick)

well lookie here!! last st 12 jan. guess its been a while. so supposedly there was a bit of a **** storm in this thread after I left. sadly I havnt had any internet till now so I missed it all before it was cleaned up but I hear it was pretty funny. updates on the car: the trans burned...

so... yeah um this thread is boring the **** outta me

what voltage does your "LED test light" trigger on?

pre drill your holes counter sink the holes with a bigger drill put a line of sikaflex on, more on the inner edge so it doesnt squeeze out the outside put all your pop rivets in the cowl lower the cowl down onto the bonnet using the rivets as a guide pop them up if sikaflex comes out, get rid of...

now that the tune is pretty much complete, then running logs is pretty much the same as RTT, since you need to copy/paste/flash the new VE tables anyway with RTT, but at the start when i was trying to get a VT commodore tune to work on a 454, then yeah it was cruicial, the immediate changes to...

is the car auto, and if so when was the last time it was serviced?

well thats good cos' they happen a lot :p

yeah i do. its a trick bit of kit and worth every penny IMO. real time tuning is handy as all hell, just get your wideband setup, adjust correction factors for VE then go driving.

ugh, what a ****-cnut day today. various personal problems popped up which i wont go into, and dyno day went... welll mixed. on one hand ill say up front, trent from chequered tuning is a total legend and i couldnt recommend him highly enough. not only letting me hang around and watch him work...

ah good, i was more aiming that post at others, rather than you :D id also very much be interested in follwoing your quest, this type of "thinking outside the box" is exactly what my mind craves.

ill bet you 5000 bucks that if you use sikaflex 227 and pop rivets, then youll never see a join, other than the one when it was painted.

biggest bunch of bullshit in the LS world, and yet everyone still sucks into it like its a fact.

oh i guess ive neglected this thread a bit, but im booked with my tuner tomorrow at 3pm. hopefully have a slightly more healthy AFR now the injectors are wired up right.

i went to the official bogan meet and greet in somewhere of warragal rd Vic today. im not sure how it was recieved cos i was more interested in walking 6 kms to the nearest other car with chrome bumpers and without a 6k sound system. by i did have one OUTSTANDING moment. it went like this: be...
