Hey man how did you go about wiring? i have exactly the same setup and by pure coincidence im installing the same headunit. i noticed that the stock headunit has 2 large plugs on the right hand side, i know one is the aerial but what is the other? also, where did you get the harness from to...

Ok so its not exactly commodore related, but for the last 5 years i have owned a 98 VT commodore S and have been a member for quite some time. I recently upgraded to an 04 Monaro Gen II and im looking to put most or all the sound equipment from my VT into the Monaro before i sell it off. What...

sorry for the lateness, Yes Simmons has tanked it. Owner retired an old man. There will not be duplicate companies made to replicate simmons. The best and only way ive personally experienced is to pickup second handers and take them to the repairs. The are links to repair shops on the simmons...

it wasnt a try hard rant, and its only one rich mummies boy school in particular thats just 5 minutes from my house... for some reason the words "public transport" dont exist in that school so its not like a few people are being driven in... its everyone in the school being driven in, its a big...

same here, cold beds annoy me plus the air outside the bed is always really cold, then you have to go outside for school or work and its even colder, then you get into your car and its twice as cold again...

finally a chance to point out the wrongs in this world... I HATE: - small housing units with large Dogs - not having a job - squeaky hinges that dont shutup - people that keep calling you back when you dont pickup - Celebrity upskirts/po*nos - blunt knives - unsquare furniture - the smell of...

the whole system is flooded with VX and VS. plus, im only new to the forum. still figuring things out.

i tried fingers again today, still didnt work. are they particularly delicate things the mechanism behind the needles? BTW the ring of light fixed itself, the little digital display however didnt make it through the operation i dont see why though, i was gentle with everything but it flickers on...

it can just be a general looseness in gears. Getting movement from the motor all the way to the drive wheels requires alot of linkages and gears. between each gear might be maybe a millimetre or two of slack, not much. Add all these gears and slackness together and you got yourself a big gap...

i know this is a really old thread but posting here is better than starting a new thread with the same problem... I stripped all the dash out of my '98 VT S commodore today, got the cluster out completely and set it down on a table. i took the 6 screws found on the face of the cluster and got...

what commodore you driving? if its a 98 VT i can help, i did my cluster this afternoon

yeah quarter panels are a B**ch to get fixed. i get mates rates with my panel beater but still, the thing with bending panels is, if the paint is "well travelled", it doesnt like to be stretched and then return to its original position and that looks like some decent stretching. You will most...

Did you tell your mate to just be careful when he did it? hahaha Ive gone through both Autobarn and Repco in dural... very convenient cause they are neighbours. neither said they stock Nightshades. I think i would get away with it. i noticed the other day that on my VT, the pointless taillight...

i never check dates, if its an open forum on a topic related to a problem of mine why start another thread? this is why when you search for something you get several threads on the same topic... but this can also come from lazy members. but anyway, whats with fogging up on the outside?

yeah i take it 11 years is an old window motor, which i can understand. but the front ones are still fine, they work as good as they day the car was rolled out of the factory. i looked at the window frame and it all still seems to have a nice fuzzy feel to it. i did notice however that the back...

gotta love chevs ive got my eye on several classics, chevy impala's, dodge charger's, (original) Ford Mustang... the only good fords are the classics. Although, the only things i look for in a muscle car are speed in straight lines, looks and the fact you can say "check out this beast" when your...

yeah i went to an Car Audio shop and it turns out with the Head deck i have i only have 1 RCA out... i think its RCA. so bummer on that. I made deal with the bloke for 2 X 3ways (Kicker) and 2 X 2ways (also kicker), a small amp and a 12 inch sub, both Audioline. i know its not the best of brands...

Hit it with some metallic black and get some finer details chromed. Get a light tinting to the tail lights to blend them in a bit. You could also try what my mate did. He owns a few harleys davidsons, he fixes them up and collects, hes up to six. on one of them he did a metallic very pale...

ok im pretty sure the thread has paused so im going to take the gap. My '98 VTS is going on 11 years now and im wondering, do the stock speakers degrade over time and if so should i be looking to replace? i recently bought a pioneer Headdeck with a max power output of 50 w and a continuous...

that tutorial was excellent. im going to go to a wreckers and see if i can pick up some spares for the VT

you plastics can enjoy your crumple zones. its the classics that cause that crumpling cause they stay strong. haha

well, im sure it'll impress any female sitting in the passenger side if you catch my drift... :) I had a vibration once... turns out the bloody mechanic whom i trusted to do some repairs mounted the water pump on crooked so when it spun in the fan belt it looked like a F**kin' vibrator. paid...

Buying an inherited car thrice removed. My dads workmate bought a VT commodore S. he needed money so he sold it to my uncle who got some mods done. To which then he needed money so my dad bought it off him. dad got sick of manuals now that Auto technology is getting better and HE WENT TO THE...

i was in the car when a 4x4 backed up close enough to me when the towball pushed the plastic bumper in. i got out and she drove off... can a plastic bumper be pushed out with a heat gun and rubber mallet without going licorice?

I have a similar problem. i own a 98' VT commodore S and both the back power windows open and close incrediblely slowly. it takes roughly 20 seconds for them to move from the up to down and vice versa. it almost sounds like the motor has a major strain on it. The doors are stock and have never...

classics for safe crashes... the bigger, chunkier and heavier the car, the less force it will absorb and more will go into gently but persuasively pushing the other plastic the f*** out of the way. No Sudden jolt to kill your much loved occupants. gotta feel sorry for the plastic though... oh...

ok, explain to me this. What does it mean when the car fogs up on the OUTSIDE of the car. like an annoying fog not just a little spot. the kind of fog you would get on the inside, but on the outside. it only happens when me and some mates do maccas runs at 2 in the morning but i need to switch...

ive always been a fan of the classic wheels. I picked up a set of 20 year old 3 peice custom racing wheels. brand new they are roughly 5k for a set of 5. ive seen second hand sets for a little over a grand. Despite Simmons owner retireing and the company name of Simmons no longer exists, there...

I too am looking for extra interior lighting. I own a '98 VT S and im am really disappointed with lighting when the doors open. I couldnt care less about the glove box light cause it doesnt open when a door does. But i was thinking about mounting directional lights under front seats that will...

some of holdens VT commodore rubber seals are not always say... "checked", before their installed on the car. Dont get me wrong, i love holdens with a passion but i also was disappointed when i got a leak in the back left door and it turned out to be small holes where the rubber seals meet on...

My Father bought a V8 VN ute brand new years ago. Its done 366312 kms and never had a single engine failure. its had a single gearbox replacement due to heavy "clunki-ness" and a camber re-alignment. Its been a construction car all its life so its seen its fair share of bumps and heavyloads such...
