So I figured I would post these here for you guys. There is not much info on this kind of thing from what I've seen. Most people's tailshafts would be getting well and truly up there in the age and mileage. Chances are that your shaft also needs a good refresher! Watch the videos below to see...

No dramas, nah. Yeah you can, but it has to be reasonably powerful lathe. With hardened steel its just full speed with a sharp cutter Just gotta make sure the swarf basket is clear before hand

I thought I might share this series of videos here for you guys. I'm sure this will help MANY of you guys on here. Basic run-down - VR V6 Commodore, custom turbo monster ute, going from 3.08 to 3.73 diff gears, M78 live axle (applies for most live axles and majority applies to IRS too)...

So a few years down the track, after lots of testing. I've made another very in-depth video going through my latest version and how it is all set-up to work properly. Check it out below

Hey guys, Recently ditched my already custom recliner style bucket drivers seat for a full fiberglass fixed back racing seat in my custom turbo VR V6 turbo ute. Check out the install video below for a thorough how-to! Be sure to check out my channel for tonnes more custom and how-to vids!

So, I've already rebuilt the power steering pump for the crazy custom turbo ute (click here to see the rebuild how-to) Now I've finished the setup off, with new lines, a filter and a cooler Check out the video here, hopefully helps some of you out and/or gives you some ideas ;)

Guys, Haven't seen any decent how-to/instruction videos on how to rebuild your power steering pump. This was done for my VR V6, though applies to most V6 pumps from VN-VZ (i think) NOTE: Be sure to take note of which way everything came out etc. ALSO make sure the vanes are installed with the...

Hey guys, Thought i'd share this video for anyone wanting to know how to install an aftermarket adjustable fuel pressure regulator (mainly for the guys running boost like myself) - though can be done purely for aesthetics ;) This was done on my 300rwkw+ custom turbo VR V6 Turbo Ute, though this...

The orgasmic sounds of a custom turbo VR Ute with a screamer! Here's some quick videos of a custom turbo'd VR Ute with a gnarly sounding screamer for you :) I've got plenty more cool videos on my channel so be sure to check them out www.youtube.com/v6boosted

Hey guys, I too recently got a rattling harmonic balancer on my Turbo VR Ute (no surprise with how crappy the OEM ones are and the pounding the motor gets when boost hits:driving:) So I made this detailed video of how quick and easy it is to replace it & what it sounded like before I did...

LOL massive thread dig here, but did you end up having any luck? I just got a custom twin plate (both organic discs) made for my Turbo VR V6, and I can say its the best clutch i've ever driven (and i've had 5 in this car so far) Nice and light, holds the power, just feels like stock basically...

As the title says, I recently had a beautiful custom xtreme twin plate clutch built for my VR V6 Turbo Ute running a t5. I'm sure this will interest a few of you out there. Was built by Western Clutch in St. Mary's, Sydney. I've never seen this done before, quite a unique one-off work of art...

Hey guys, Haven't seen any real decent threads on how to remove the rear axles on a live axle (This is on a VR, but should be the same through all the models without IRS pretty much) https://youtu.be/GmCsebg-Msw In this quick vid you can see how the axles are removed, rear wheel bearings...

Part 2 now out, Merry Christmas! :driving:

Hey guys, Thought this might interest some of you on here, either those considering a solid brake upgrade for their car or even just curious :idea3: INSTALL AND RUNDOWN: https://youtu.be/tMTqi7i37fA HOW TO BLEED, BED AND THEN BOOSTING: https://youtu.be/kdNczPJT5SQ After smashing through...

Hey guys, Ive just finished doing a lot of mad upgrades to my already crazy VR V6 turbo ute, but that aside, the main one that i wanted to share with you guys is my successful conversion from the crappy old cable clutch (which gets hot especially on a turbo setup and becomes even stiffer) This...

Hey guys, I have made this video to help any of those out there and those that have asked me multiple times, "how to run my PCV system now that my car is turbocharged?" Well I have made this video to show my setup and also the basics behind it and the stepping stones to making your own setup...

I thought I'd better report back on this. When this was happening, I was still using the vr master and booster with vt rotors and calipers. Ever since I changed to the vt master and vs booster I have not encountered this problem. (Touch wood) Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk

Well guys, I had Rob from VMC Engineering come out on Weds to inspect the car and I PASSED! I received my paperwork lasgt night. Nw its time to get blue slipped and never be in the wrong with the 5-0 again! I can highly recommend Rob, hes very easy to deal with and is very fair. Hopefully this...

I dont get how that is possible? More details?

Did your engineer put it up on a hoist or something? My clearances are good, but tight in order to fit 3" and not scrape haha. My engineer comes out to see me (im pretty sure) If only I could get onto him :/ lol

Ok so I had my emissions test today at Botany. And I passed :) Now its time to get the engineer to sign off on it. P.S. Suck on that to everyone who said 'oh it'll never pass' :P

its about 20mm from memory. just buy an assortment and yeah fuel and oil proof too

I will definitely report back. I have spoken to Rob at VMC and basically said ill need upgraded brakes (already have VT so will be ok) and factory air box (to avoid more expensive tests, and will be about $1000.00, provided everything is in check. Emissions should be fine as the motor is very...

Well thank you for your helpful input. VMC is who im leaning towards as a friend recommended I can get an emissions test done for free at the RTA test facilities in Botany or Penrith. What was done to your VK? And how much did it cost roughly? Thanks mate

Well wow, you guys have been no help whatsoever, forget i even said anything. Can a mod please delete this thread, not going anywhere

He didnt even know it was boosted. It actually makes more like 100+% more power lol I am not pulling this motor I do not have the time and cbf, I wanna get this done right as my car is heavily modded and going back to stock is just not on the table. Also, it does make a difference working with...

No he just wanted a mechanic to check it all out because he had no clue. I know im gonna have to jump through hoops and dig into my pockets, but going back to stock is NOT on the table

I am wondering if anyone can recommend an engineer in the Sydney area that can certify my vehicle (l36 v6 custom turbo setup) I want to go to someone who is recommended to be reasonable and co-operative. I got defected the other day, the cop didnt actually know what he was looking at etc...

Have done every front bush and have new control arms and adjustable radius rods (z bar) Ive had that horrible instability from those I know how **** that feels

My pads dont have a chamfer, so will do that first, also I jacked up both sides front and rear and checked the wheels free spinning for any high spots on rotors, rears are good but fronts I was getting a slight bit of friction on one spot...Might be time for new rotors and pads ha?

Have already checked bearings. Theres no play

Ive had 2 sets of wheels both balanced and no difference. And like you said, you feelit in the brake pedal... ive felt warped rotors before and its not this. Could it be caused by a steering alignment issue? I might get my alignment checked to start.

I dont believe in machining rotors. Theyre that cheap its better to buy brand new and same with pads. I do have those brakes, no way id be running the **** standard vr front brakes with this power haha I might check the champher when I get a spare hour

Yeah thats what ive been thinking, though just the fact of it not giving a hint of wobble under braking at say 60... also the fact the car doesnt feel as stable that makes me think otherwise :(

Ive been trying to figure this out for a while now. For example, boosting 3rd gear up near 160km/h+, then hit the brakes, the steering wheel has a savage wobble that feels quite bad. Doesnt do it under say 120km/h, and pretty sure the car just doesnt feel stable like it used to at speed...

So I have some good news. I pulled the bracket from the sump to bellhousing and removed the dust shield and there was the flywheel counterweight sitting there with one screw in it... THANK GOD! So then after sliding a magnet rod thing in and around the bellhousing I could not find the other...
