buick is gm and still technically holden i hear wat ur sayin my mates call their vl's nismodores i dont get it they still came out with aussie v8's !!! as well as japanese 6s and vl's freakin rock woot :w00t:

cant get any better then that same thing is happenin with my afm plug 2 wires are coming out i spent ages tryin to find out why it was happening on and off finaly checked the plug and felt so stupid lol good to hear though Dan

far out that sounds pretty wild i know its a common problem with the vn's with the crank angle sensor if your air box is broken then its definetly a combination of your afm getting a faulty reading due to the back fire from the cas just looking in the repair manual it has directions on how to...

yeah look it up on Google there is a way you can check the computer but that sounds a lot like air flow meter possibly an air leak between air flow meter and the throttle body or possibly a dud unit i had mine replaced couple of times but it seemed to backfire and chug and struggle almost to the...

here is mine very close to completion soon to become turbo

yeah slides have also been removed and regreased ill double check but i think it might be the rotor thickness have to find out get back to ya's Dan

yeah you will actually more because you need to remove the old ones which will be hard and its twice as hard with the windows in also easier if you dont have electric windows , door cards will have to be removed that way you can get to the bottom part of window which is bolted on and usually...

harder to get the old ones out then the new ones in usually all dried up and hard but will make a huge difference when u replace them Dan

depends how much clear you got ive heard of people flow coating the car so its really really thick we went 3 coats until it flashed off and looked shiny but still should have gone one more so depends Dan

rotors fit car no problems calipers fit lines and will bolt up only if there are no pads in calipers as soon as you put the pads in the calipers wont slide over the rotor and will conflict with mounting bracket pads are right as well Dan

take bax's advice only takes one thing to go wrong and then your back at square one buying new paint and re sanding the entire thing definetly go 2 pac as it usually turns out better and lasts longer check out mine if your keen for a look Curtis's Car: Blue Storm (soon to be turbo) -...

how u mean the brackets i have the ventilated turbo calipers and the bigger rotors 290 which are supposed to fit vn spac and vl turbo/v8 everyones asked did i push the piston all the way back and i know i did cause i had the piston out to check for damage im confused lol

update the brakes anyway the vl's are fast but if u drive like a dick in any sort of car ur gonna get damage the v8's came out with 4 wheel discs as i assume they need the extra stopping power but as long as u maintain the disks and drums they should be efficient enough, unless of course ur...
