Gday Guys, Been working hard lately fully rebuilding my 4L60E trans for a VYII S commodore, With all the hard parts done and the transmission installed back into the car, I turned the car on and all works a treat. Now at the minute i am just granny driving it around, as im too scared to...

no worries thanks guys ill hit up repco in the morning and see how i go, no idea how it got damaged. Living down a dirt road with all kinds of junk laying across it, could be a stick getting caught, anyones guess... These easy to replace? looks like a bugger of a job trying to wiggle it out!

Hey guys, Today ive noticed a problem with my sisters VS commodore basically its spewing power steering fluid everywhere, Ive looked under the car and have found the issue is a burst Steel pipe that runs from the rack into the reservior, it has somehow rubbed onto the engine mount and cut away...

is there any need to get some throttle body & plenum gaskets as-well as the intake manifold and thermostat ones? do these need to be pulled apart also?. Im another victim of the evil oil in the coolant, and am going to have to do this job soon, So ill be using this guide to help me out, Thanks...

ive got a set of Kumho Ecsta KU39's on now and theyve lasted about 50K kms so far, but the insides gone and not roadworthy anymore, ive had a good run outta them... So basically all the tyres last the same amount of KM's just the prices change between the grip quality, so the cheap nasty ones...

Hey guys, Another Thread about Tyres... My tyres are all scrubbed out on the inside, (Alignment problem?). So its time to get some new ones! Im after a set of tyres that are the most longest lasting, (Im not interested in performance as its an everyday work car) I usually do massive KM's...

ive got a 12" alpine type R sub in the back on my car, its goes alright, its busted the glue off of my boot and now it makes terrible vibrating noises when its loud, so i think thats enough to say the Type R stuff is pretty good.. But everyone will have an opinion so really ya best bet is to go...

they stop stone chips pretty well... Pretty useless if you drive heaps in the city, so id get rid of em, but if ya like me and spend most of ya time on dirt roads.. Probably an idea to keep em on if ya not too fussed what they look like.

yep. if its a coax type cable, its some sorta antenna wire.. either for a phone or maybe somebody has had a CB installed previously?

i would leave em for the HID's man

lol MR harmless Muffin Man!! .. i has question i wish to enquire... what exactly are me measuring when me measure the sway bar?.. its the width of the bar yeah? not the length? .. thanking you sir!!

DO IT!! .. thats what i did, got rid of all the halogen type globes lol .. HID Xenons in the headlights, and LED's everywhere else, expensive way of being cool i guess, but now i dont wave to worry about the globes blowing all the time!!! =P

^^ Thats what a H4 Hi/Lo Beam globe looks like.. its got 2 fillaments in it, Theres one in the middle of the globe, and another behind the mirror type thing that is used for the HighBeams. ^^ Thats a H1 Globe which is used in your HighBeam light sockets. ^^ This one is a H3 Globe, IF...

Hey guys, I think my car wants me to throw some more money at it again. Whats happening this time is when im driving down my driveway (crappy dirt one with potholes) .. The car is making a horrible clunking noise. Its coming from both sides of the front wheels, It started to kinda make the...

i asked about peoples opinions about these lights a few weeks ago, i got about 10 replies and about 9 of those bagged me out about how crap they looked lol But as said before if they comply with the ADR's they will be okay, if you like the look of it then get them.... Just sucks nobody makes...

try and keep away from the mean cheap chinese stuff .. or you will end up having them blow every few weeks!!!!!!

lookin sweet man! have to let me know when you've got the knack of it and ill come for a visit, and get mine booked in haha

NAh i wouldnt worry about a relay for them, however i would still go with some kind of fuse incase the things crap themselves, as Diodes do tend to short out when they blow.. Ive got mine hooked up to a 3 way switch in my car, which lets me turn them off for good, on permentally or on/off...

alrighty 3 out of 3 say no lol.. I dont like the audi look too much, but jeez i WANT PROJECTORS FOR A VY!!!! >.< Very temped to just cut into them and glue a projector lens inside lol

Hey dudes, Was just having a look through ebay just now at cool stuff to buy lol.. and came across these: Holden Commodore VY LED DRL Black Headlights Euro Style | eBay Projector Headlights for VY Executives, ive been looking for these for ages and its impossible to find anything that has...

hahaha it happens!!!! .. like who hasn't done it,, honestly.. goshh

id say the looks, unless your wanting to race it.. Because with all the crap laws that are around for driving fast, its a waste of money IMO... Cops cant fine ya for having a nice looking car!! (Unless its too low or something)... But as others have said you get stuff all extra value on the car...

mm and while your doing that just check and make sure he didn't put diff oil in the radiator and grease in the window washer bottle =O

yeah man the VY bonnet wont fit up with the VZ front, the VY has a more pointed front so youll have an ugly gap, the VY headlights are angled different to the VZ, The VY and VZ use the same side guards so you should be sweet with that the bumpers gonna need changing coz the obvious teardrop...

lots of good people on here dude that will give ya hand!

the EGR pipe is the steel pipe thats connected between the manifold and the exhaust headers, you might be able to hear it sucking air when the engine is on to see if thers a leak

the way i got my bumper off was getting it stuck on a gutter and reversing :(

you can get the flashers from anywhere man, bursons, supercheap, repco, all them, even jarcar and other electronics stores have them too

yep as wraith said, most pioneer radios dont have an antenna signal wire, just a remote wire for Subs, .. its been a problem for ages with pioneer radios, if there isnt a special dedicated wire for the antenna, you might just have to connect a switch to the wire somehow so you can manually turn...

i found it somewhat better than the standard one, however i probably wouldn't go spending all the money i did on it if i had my time again.. Monies better spent elsewhere really for more grunt, I found it a tad more awkward to move the car slowly with it, as when i slightly pressed the pedal the...

thats awesome as .. great writeup man!

Boys in blue would happen to be my old man, lol.. Very easy to track something like that, knowing the rego letters and your profile saying your from melbourne makes out just a minute or 2 on the computer and they know exactly where you are.. So maybe just take the P Plates off next time lol...

if their the same bosch part number as holden recommend over here i dont see why they wouldnt fit?, Most of the stuff you buy comes from china anyways, so i cant see how the US will be any different

And you go out calling the cops "pigs" . all coz you good caught fixing up an Air-Con vent you could've got your mate to fix? Im sure if somebody was smashing up your car or something, these "pigs" would be the first place you turn too wouldn't it?

man .. im feeling sick, lol .. Burned myself with a soldering iron the other day .. Guess i shouldn't really complain should i? :(

My First car was an AUII XR6 Falcon, till the stupid thing kept having problems now i cruise around in a VY heh... Most guys drive around the bush here in a VN/VP type thing lol

haha did ya find any gold while you were digging down there? .. But yeah good thing peeps use the search engines!

woah 55Watt low beam.. that will BBQ anyones face!! .. Being Non-Projector lights that will really annoy people lol..

and remember to put up pics when/if you get it done, coz im looking forward to see'ing this done!

looks aside (since thats where the threads going), as wraith said as long as their approved by the ADR's they should be okay. Most of the dark tinted lights aren't but some are if you can find them.. Ive had one of the head police officers from where i live pull me over and he commented on...
