    Fitting Extractors Question

    yeah well I was going to buy a brand new set of genies from someone cheap and get my GF's brother to fit them up in a few weeks but now that I've looked at it aint going to happen without some custom pipework along the way might still buy them and get someone else to fit them

    Fitting Extractors Question

    I feel like a twit asking this seeing as I thought I had it down pat up until 5 minutes ago. Was going to fit extractors to my VT 5L but after just having a quick squiz under the car I'm baffled. I originally thought it would be pretty much a straight swap but not so. From the stock headers...

    Replace/Repair Aircon condensor

    yeah i managed to find some old links to some on ebay that varied from $50 second hand to 200 brand new. Got a quote from a place just up the road of $230 for new condensor, or $530 all up with new condensor labour regas etc. They said theyd have to see it to know if its repairable so going...

    Modified Snorkel on ebay

    lol maybe hes charging a mint for his time to chop the bottom out :) I did this to mine some time ago and fuel economy went up ever so slightly with no variation in driving conditions. But yeah I pity anyone that would be dumb enough to actually buy one

    Replace/Repair Aircon condensor

    Thought I'd put this here instead of the aircon forum as I guess itll get more viewing here. Just had a bit of a woopsie and let the gas out of my aircon (actually its still going after 30 mins) Acidentally crunched a screwdriver into the top row of fins just enough to break one of them by...

    yeah AFAIK there is no crossover or anything like that they're just paralleled to the front speakers in the doors

    Transmission Question

    get a manual if you want to drive it like a manual :) otherwise no probably not the best idea to be manually changing gears in an auto. As for the confusion sounds like normal commodore transmission that cant make up its mind about what gear to be in

    Diagnostic code reader

    you can buy them off ebay and also not too long ago there was a guy on here selling them, and then you need a computer and some software to get the codes out. I've seen them range from 60 to 120 just depends how many other people are wanting to buy the same one as you I guess

    What tip should I use?

    the twins do look better IMO and ive got them but then again mine go further than just the tip :D Youll get people giving you crap about trying to make it look like an 8 no matter what you do so just do what YOU like best

    Dead / Dying Alternator

    Pretty sure my alternator is dying but just want any other thoughts. Got a VT 5L and batery light has been coming on so got a brand new battery (old one was very old anyway) and the light was still coming on every now and then. Been using the voltage display (mode+up) and it is in fact...

    how to open the lid of the fuse inside VT 97

    cant say ive found one that was really hard to get open. usually just pull it down pretty easy from the left and right hand sides as thats where the clip bits are

    sub and shift

    get a new zorst and then youll hear it better and not need to worry about the shift light :) otherwise if you need a light to make you shift, then maybe trade it for an auto

    Help with the speed alert

    could be wrong but I do have a faint memory of reading that when you enable 'police mode' you lose the speed alert function so maybe this is what you had happen ? Although sounds like its still there but you cant set it

    gilmer drive belt kits, inj 5ltr.

    if it was a weekender you probably wouldnt be too worried about aircon i spose. but when you get stuck on melbournes lovely freeways in summer I dont think i'd cope too well without aircon

    any good autotranny shops S.E. suburbs?

    also extremely good customer service. With the shift kit got the offer of bringing it back for free after it had all settled in to adjust any of the shifts I wanted which I dont think I'll do as I think its pretty spot on as it is I thought chirping into 2nd was a bit wank factor until now...

    gilmer drive belt kits, inj 5ltr.

    eveyone I've read about lately with these say you lose the A/C ? I've read they put an extra bit on the inside of one pulley for the power steering but otherwise everyones said they lose air con

    any good autotranny shops S.E. suburbs?

    dood I just had some major issues with mine and did the big ring around. Varied form 1300 to 2500 for a rebuild. Ended up someone else recommended RVO automatics in dandenong on hammond road. Cost me $1500 for rebuild and stae 2 shift kit and some beefed up internals to go along with it...

    Homemade air duct (with pics)

    has anyone done any comparrisons of a home made job compared to something like the SS inductions one for a VT ? I'd be thinking the homemade job would actually do better due to the fact its drawing nice cool air from under the car instead from over the radiator. Been looking at CAI for a while...

    5L Auto box issues

    general consensus is bands or solenoid, most are leaning towards solenoid because of the jerkyness in reverse but I dont really know. And yeah theyre all saying 700-900 to repair so im almost keen to spend the extra dosh and have the piece of mind that itll be 110% either that or spit it and...

    What kind of Tyres do you have?

    I Had Falken ZE326's on my last far and my current car had these front and rear when I got it 235/40/17 and they hang onto the road nicely in all conditions. Not sure about tyre life as I didnt treat them all that nice. Recently replaced with some other Fulda tyre from Bobjane same morning...

    easy way to make my car beep when locking

    looking at the lights and hearing the clunk is what I always look for. I've got an aftermarket alarm in mine and it doesnt always beep when I arm it, or it doesnt beep straight away and takes like 10 seconds sometimes its strange. as others have suggested taping into the signal for lock/unlock...

    VT/VX autmatically locking after 60seconds.

    mikemutlow those were some of my exact thoughts. If putting a twisted up bit of metal in the intake improved it so much car manufacturers would already be doing this. As for the diesel lux guy I know a few other people with diesel 4wd's that have put them in and have had great results...
