It's not that hard mate, although you should realize the radiator is coming out in addition to sabbath's instructions. Buy a gregory's repair manual from super cheap/repco and you'll be fine. DO NOT GET ANY COOLANT ON THE PAINT.

Rotors are warped mate.

I would buy the VY, the handling, ride quality and aesthetics are going to be relatively the same between the two even more so in STOCK form because its essentially the same car with different lights, wheels, grill etc. If the VZ where an 06' model bearing a 6L powerplant I would give it further...

An interesting question and not being funny but HTF is it going to evaporate in a sealed tank?

NRMA mate. They aren't too bad, I pay $150/month for a vy ss 6sp at agreed value of $19k. And strangly enough I got a quote for a ve hsv gts as i am thinking of upgrading and it was within $5 of my current policy with an agreed value of $45k. I think they base it on driver risk and simply...

Don't buy it mate, who knows what its been used for. And its probably riding low on the drivers side with left tyres worn from the drive thru lmao

What about negative camber?

Definitely fit a set balls on the tow bar and maybe a wobbling dash ornament...

Your budget, age, licence type and driving history (insurance) would be of use for this post...

castrol edge 10w-60 is my choice. search ls1.com.au for DEEP discussion about oil :idea3:

Thanks but I don't think they have the older models on there...

I am also interested in this as I am looking at upgrading soon... I have not yet had a chance to head to the dealership but I have found the following online: 20" gts rims replace the r8 19" Electronic damper control Seats So regarding your reference to the motor(tune), is the GTS...

yes it is. I would type you instructions but I have to go to work now and my engine is slighty different. Just buy a gregory's or haines manual from repco/super cheap and go from there. Make sure you don't get coolant on any paint work, cover the front of the car when you lift it out.

I agree, how does an injector problem = a new motor? Running rich blowing a hole in the sump? Black smoke and running rough, maybe you flood it and it stalls. But no hole in the sump. Combustion is still limited by o2 and not going to wreck the bottom end with to much fuel. I would ask the...

Do you mean the coolant in is cold in the reservoir tank when you opened it with no pressure or simply the "leaked" coolant on the battery? Cool engine means f u c k e d thermostat. Heat her up and she'll leak, get it to operating temp and open the bonnet and wait for the thermo fans to kick in.

An Ls1 is not going to save any fuel trust me. For the charged 6 vs ls1, It's personal preference. Drive both of the a few times. Personally the raw power figure is not why I bought a v8 it's the smooth torque, lumpy idle, exhaust note under load, and just pure drivability. Whether your...

Some peoples arrogance and stupidity is unbelieveable... At the shops last week this fat b1tch was within 15m of the trolley bay in her row. As i was getting into the car I watched her simply push the trolley away from the rear of her vehicle and it gained speed toward this new ve commodore...

Take it to an auto electrician if your still having electrical problems. Take it back to the radiator bloke if he hasn't retired. I was going to say I'll do the radiator for 2 cases but your in melbourne lol. Good luck mate.

Perhaps the s is different. Mine goes of as you open the door or even the boot. And the immobiliser light just blinks at you while you sit there frustrated lol. As said above the keys are annoying to open the little screws rust and the rubber buttons are ****. gut the key into a new case.

Lol ok. Depreciation is beyond the realm of redbook. sorry mate. What's it worth then?

THE KEY will still open the drivers door and then you can open the bonnet. ODD isnt it. You got FISTED for the radiator thats ridiculous! Take that **** back right now. The battery/alternator is obviously still not fixed or you have another electrical problem(check the +ve to alt isnt loose).

f uck the slushie off for a 6spd. Sux to be you mate, hope it goes well.

white smoke is water mate. not oil.

Exactly. 2nd this.

mate if its fully dead it will set the alarm off if you manually open the lock after remote locking it and you wont be able to start the car either.

Sorry but how have you lived this long?

:lmao: Haved you checked your oil mate? how about the coolant does it have oil in it?

If you get new rotors I would not recommend bendix ultimates as many users will confirm they will eat your nice new rotors.

Try running a 10w-60 like mainlube, castrol edge,mobil etc.

2 Final questions: Does anyone use those radiator pellets and what are the pump to block bolts torque specifications? Gregorys says step one 15nm and step 2 25nm....wtf does that mean is it 15 or 25?

A few photos of the leak: The leaking passenger side gasket: The full view: The drivers side gasket: Passenger side gasket close up: The impeller seal: Changing the pump today, took the old one out yesterday afternoon but ran out of day light. Will post some...

Is that a typo? VY SS I 1600kg VY SS II 1658kg (used to say 1645 has been updated since i bought the car I researched the model for 3 months prior) VE SS 1770kg VE SSV 1790kg (kerb weights) Or is my source wrong: redbook.com.au Where did you get this number?

Ha so two for VE... What did you think of the youtube clip for the VE, sounded mean aye. Nearly 350rwkw with heads cam exhaust otr, which are precisely the mods I'm interested in.

Darkrayne's old VY SS- Music to my ears:driving: YouTube - Cammed VY SS Commodore 228/230 comp cam Some of sonnys handy work- Also intoxicating YouTube - VE SSV ON DYNO AFTER HEADS CAM !! I am becoming obsessed with the sound of a sweet cam and engine/exhaust note and drivability are...

Hi all, I am thinking of putting a cam like darkrayne's old vy (228/230) with 4 into 1 headers, hiflos, exhaust, OTR into my VY SS II but I am also considering it might be smarter to wait till I get back from overseas (6 months time) and upgrade to the VE so I can have the L98 heads and a car...

Fair enough, I can't decide whether to replace the pump or not as it isn't physically leaking and more money means more to me than less money. I hate cooling systems, they plague every car I have owned.

No I was referring to my old car with the ebay comment. Where can I get a non **** one then lol
