i also have a vz calais and the same crack in the head deck. mine is on the bottom left side. Alot of my mates have VZ sv6's and they all have the exact same crack. even a mate of mine has a vy berlina and it has it aswell. And my steering wheel buttons are **** too, already broke once before.

never mind. got new wheels. please delete thread mods.

resetting the computer? how do i go about that? and will it mess anything else up?

Sounds right. It is dropping still, sitting on about 12l/100km and going down still Thanks guys

Funny u should say that because it seems to be dropping now. But something like an insulator for ur intake manifold should not raise ur fuel consumption between 3.5 to 4 litres per 100kms. Thats crazy..

Yes it is. All I did was a general service, spark plugs, oils, radiator, filters and installed the intake insulator. Everything is all normal except my fuel consumption has rocketed.

DESCRIPTION: WANTED TO BUY. ITEMS: I am basically after any of theses. VZ SS wheels. VZ Clubsport (either standard or R8). VZ SSZ wheels. And any VE wheels that hav lke been machined to suit VZ stud pattern (18inch and bigger) LOCATION: NSW- NEWCASTLE 2300. CONDITION: new or used...

Hi guys, last week I installed the air intake insulator and my fuel consumption has jumped from around 10.5l/100km to 13.9l/100km. I have not been driving any different. Any reason?? Considering this is meant to lower fuel economy. Cheers

Dammit!! haha. I just bought led fog lights off ebay but i think i got the wrong ones. Thanks man. I looked thru my car manual and it had every light except the fog lights.

hey guys, could be a stupid question but i dont care cause i dont know the answer haha. what kinda bulbs suit vz calais foggys??

So they didnt do anything performance or fuel ecomony wise?? And wat kinda car u talking bout?

Hi Guys, Has anyone with an alloytec used them new quad tip spark plugs?? Cheers

so i'm looking around about $200??

hey guys, my stupid climate control has a mind of its own. when its set on a/c on ur feet and face, when u accelerate it changes to demist. then when you stop accelerating it goes back to normal.. i remember someone else on the forum had this issue, can anyone help me???????????????

thanks guys

and how is that done exactly??

thats just what i've been told from a bloke from VCM. he didn't exactly explain why, maybe someone should call and ask about it.

they re-program the computer.. VCM does it for just under a grand. but yeah, is yours auto or manual? if its auto they cant do it. i don't know why but a guy from VCM told me. there is a place called powerchipgroup that do piggyback performance chips for your ECU, but word of mouth says they are...

yeah well i spoke to a bloke from vcm and i was asking about it and they can only tune the 4speed auto's not the 5 speed auto's. i dont know why, he didnt say why. just said they dont do it.

mate start with basics... 2hole mod to your air box or cold air induction, exhaust, headers and cats, bigger injectors and high flow fuel pump. depending on money look into a CRP6 air intake manifold. If your wanting something hectic maybe check out the range of superchargers available for the...

could i use SAF-XA oil in mine???

i'm just fussy. i just wanna make sure everything has new oil and ****..

hey guys. wondering wats the best diff oil to use for my car. vz calais, V6 alloytec190. its not a LSD but i know u can use LSD oil in it. wats the best to use???????

thats just wat i got from him lol. he reckons he gained 18kw from it... im not gonna bother, i'm not gonna spend that kinda money on it, i wont be keeping it for too much longer. the software update from holden will do we fine lol =)

Powerchip Performance Software Tuning for BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, Porsche its not a gearbox tune, its a CPU tune. but do u think its worth it?? thats a bit of money for only approx. 10kw gain......

hey mate, yeah i got the car back on the road. there was a tiny leak where the oil lines bypass the radiator, lost enough oil to start burning **** out. it burnt 20 clutch plates, worn the inside of the torque converter and stuffed that, stuff'd the pump and pistons in the tranny. so they...

well i got a pm from a guy on the forum, he gave me a site to check out, its a chip for ur cpu. but only gains around about 10kw. its just under 900bucks... do u reckon its worth it????

hey guys i wanna know if anyone knows somewhere that will tune the alloytecs with the 5 speed auto. aka the calais and sv6. i have contacted VCM suite today and spoke to a bloke, they don't/can't tune the 5 speed box. if anyone got info for me please let me know

yeah mate, i got the same car. exact same problem. its really annoying..

i believe they are called a posi-track diff.

i have done the exact same thing in the exact same spot!! its a bugga to clear off isn't it.. I've tried just using interior cleaners, window cleaner, and scrubbing at it when i wash my car, I've even tried shoe polish haha. it just wont go away.

if anyone is interested, i have a 2 1/2" redback system for sale.. just thought i'd pop that in this thread since its about exhausts lol.

mate, i reckon lower it first. then do maybe an exhaust, then go from there....

hey mate, very clean car. with ur tail lights, please dont tint them lol, i reckon u should go either SS or calais tail lights, and go SS/calais headlights. bodykit: yeah an sv6 kit would look good, but i reckon u should just keep ur kit on it, sure its plain but its not bad looking. defo lower...

yeah i've been looking into getting one too. small thing, keep the manifold clean, nice little piece in ur engine bay. even if it doesnt make a difference performance wise, it would still keep it clean. go for it i reckon..! =)

hey guys.. i have previously posted threads about my gearbox shitting itself. well... i have the codes that popped and it is.... P0741 TCC (torque convertor clutch) performance STUCK OFF. any ideas????????????

well maybe i wont sweat it lol. i'm just thinking about smallish **** like that, that would make a difference to the car. also..... people say that the alloytecs don't go well being MAFless tuned... why exactly??????????????

oh.. well **** it then lol

yeah im ok with that ****.

....nah i'll be right haha. i wanted something easy to do. unless it is easier then it sounds???
