    Interesting viewing........

    The worst thing about this story, was that the cops got let off the hook with only a minor slap on the hand. A GUY DIED because of their incompetance. They should be jailed for life at the least.

    V8 daily driver

    Think I get something like 21l or so, that's with 98, full exhaust setup, OTRCAI, tune, etc. But company pays for fuel so I shrug the shoulders and have fun :D.

    who else rides ....here are my girls

    It can never be said enough about how unsafe riders are in terms of protection. We have no crumple zones, no airbags, no saftey straps to harness us when an accident occurs (not that we want to anyway when we crash :P). Unfortunatley in most cases it's always a cage driver that's the cause of...

    who else rides ....here are my girls

    Nice ride man, looks like a CBR1000? I used to have this until last Janu when I sold it: Currently in the process of looking for a new R1 to finally take her place, cause I've missed my riding :(.

    VZ Dash Conversion into LX Torana

    wow man, crazy build this is awsome. However I don't think you will be able to get past the contact dealer/abs/srs errors without the propper ECM and BCM that are coded to the dash. Like has already been said the system works off CanBus. These systems are also not designed to be recoded in such...

    HTC Desire HD vs Samsung Galaxy S

    I've currently got the Samsung Galaxy S and I'm pretty happy with it (although it is my first "smart" phone). The only beef I have with it right now is that it has some small software bugs, like for example, maybe 1-3 phone calls a month I can't answer because the screen locks up and I have to...

    Handbrake Adjustment VZ Commodore

    Hey impulsive. First, don't adjust the cable, readjust it back to the point it was at before. Secondly, here's what you need to do: 1. Remove rear wheels. 2. You'll now see 2 rubber grommets on the outside of the rotor, remove 1 of these. 3. Make sure your handbrake is down 4. Rotate the rotors...

    Supid question

    disconnect the injectors, not the spark plugs. Without anywhere for the spark to go it can cause a backfeed and blow the coil pack.

    Whats something you hate but everyone else loves?

    VERY poorly designed car. Always breaking down. **** is always hard to get to, have to take off 20 parts to get to 1. Range rover wiring diagrams are beyond useless... need a rocket engineering degree just to read them. Stupid designs like how squealing brakes can cause a wheel speed sensor...

    Well finally got around to painting the rotors and calipers today, I rekon they came up a treat, although I would have loved to have had a longer cure time on the paint, but I didn't so some finger prints were left in them, but they still look great at a glance. Here's some before and after...

    The foggies are the standard sv8 ones with 35W HID's in them. I had 55w HID's in them and 35W in the headlights, but decided I didn't like the light quality out of the headlights since I changed em to Calais ones, so I changed the balasts around so now headlights are 55W and much better and the...

    [LS1] Power "Lag", "Sluggish", "Doesn't feel right"

    I have the same problem, but mainly on take over. However it is rare that it happens. In 10 months I've owned the car it's happened about 3 times. The trans is the issue, I know that it is, and it also has an issue sometimes with going into overdrive propperly, or it is and the clutches are...

    Here's a pic of the dyno sheet. The car was tuned at Sam's Performance in Padstow. Top bloke and a great crew. Was looked after really well, he even tuned my gearbox for me which is much much better than what it was. Overall car has an extra 47HP and it alot more responsive which is a big help...

    I installed the Guages, I'm a car sparky by trade. Also got the OTRCAI installed and MAFless tune done today. Was a great result overall. Had a before tune of 261HP and an after tune of 308HP. So good result all round I though.

    Oh and only other future mod at this stage is painting the Calipers and Rotos. I'm thinking Black, but I'm open to suggestions :).

    Hey guys and girls. This has been a long time coming and I mainly blame my laziness on not doing this earlier given my ability to roam these forums. Recently was the owner of a VR V6 that I owned for 4 months, got bored of it and decided to get this 2005 VZ V8. I bought it back in January...

    VZ SSZ - Black & Blown

    wikky I'm in love man, you're making the misses jelous :p. One question though, your 5.7L, does it have Fly-By Wire and if so, how do you find the response times?

    VZ Speed Signal Wire???

    Don't bother with that... you may find it will cause more damage than good... (I've never used one on a radio before, but speedo circuits can be touchy).

    Electrical problem!

    Have you tried jump starting it? Even know the light shows green on those MF batteries... I've have them stuff up. That being said, check the connections to the battery, as well as the earth to chassis/engine block.

    Only ever lost 2 points in my car due to having 1 out of 2 P's displayed (2 points cause it was double demerit time), rest of my points I've gained/lost due to my motorcycle... I've been on 1 point for a year, got three back, couple months later lost another 3 and was on 1 again for about 8...

    VZ Steering wheel buttons illumination.

    I think the general rule of thumb is that if it has steering wheel paddles, then the radio controls light up, if they don't have the paddles then they don't (from what I understand anyway).

    [VIC] What do I do now...?

    There's not alot you can do. Cars (unless sold by a dealership) are sold on an "as is" basis and considering the problems with the car, good luck getting the seller to pay, or help with the payments to fix the car. If it was a decent car and there were some problems, and the seller was a good...

    hood problem

    Get a mate to pull and push on it while you hold the bonnet release tab. Obviously don't have the mate try n reef it up, just hard enough to help it. The locks jam on vehicle a bit when they're not lubed.
