Ok fuses are all fine. I have tested the autoswitch mode and also just flicking between 'Off' and 'Park' and noticed something odd. When the lights are flicked Off everything switches off and then within half a second the dash, stereo and climate control displays light up again (except not all...

I still boot up Warcraft 3 and the expansion pack every now and then. I've noticed quite a few in this thread still play starcraft occasionally, any of you had a crack at the beta for Starcraft 2? It is pretty decent, basically the same game with better graphics and some improved gameplay...

Cheers, I'll check my fuses then :)

So you can get 'heavy duty' and 'non-heavy duty' low and super lows from king springs? I can't find anything in their catalogue to distinguish one from the other (by part number) or are you referring to 'progressive rate design' as 'non-heavy duty'? Almost all of their springs for commodores are...

Just wondering if anyone else has had their VY operate with the park lights (and interior dash lighting) on permanently, even with the switch set to off? Despite this my light switch is functioning normally but they weren't doing this until a day or so ago. Ultimately I guess it doesn't...

There are some How To guides for doing this yourself on the JC forums, if you're careful you won't need to respray the doors. The car will look better without them

Check out the https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/cai-alien-design.92806 or https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/two-hole-mod-mcai.94859 I think both end up pretty incognito as far as looks. Your only option for a CAI in a VY V6 which isn't a pod filter that I know of is the...

Hotness, although now your rusty brake disc is quite abvious (much like my own lol) are you gonna paint or replace them for something better looking?

Stores, drivers 'could be targets of ciggie thieves' I'm not the only one who thinks pushing prices too far can create black markets for legal products. What study was this minux? Did it say a greater proportion of 'kids' were starting or were starting at an 'earlier' age, was the uptake...

If you're going to do that why not pickup a Lukey reusable filter (water washable), only about $30 on ebay, I think the K&N factory replacement filter is more expensive (and oil lubricated) but similar deal

Actually looks better than I thought. Regarding LED Headlight globes, I thought the LEDs weren't really up to the level of brightness halogens can achieve?

Holy sh*t, did Holden ever change your filter?

Whether to means test speeding fines is an interesting argument. Basically, it depends on whether you consider the necessary role of the fine to produce a degree of punishment and 'sting' regardless of what you earn, obviously set amount fines graduated along a basis of how far over the limit...

Price increases have good evidence for reducing smoking rates but the benefits cap out, France actually has a black market for cigarettes now because their price from stores is exorbitantly high (and their smoking rates are higher too). Pushing the price up will only work so much before the...

Yeah tint is definitely on the cards before the end of winter, it has some on there but you wouldn't know just at a glance :( I'm also waiting on a reprint of my personalised number plate I'll probably just go superlow for the springs, I had them in my VX and was satisfied with the ride and...

Yeah I think the interior really sold me on the car, was after a Calais but there wasn't many around in as good condition as this one. I think the old guy's wife was pushing the buttons on the stereo and steering wheel with her nails because they're a bit scratched up, only fault with the...

Decided to post the pics of my car from CarSales (I hope this is not brekaing copyrights) until I have some I've taken myself (coming soon). Model: 2003 VY II Berlina Colour: Quicksilver Body Work: Standard Engine Type: Ecotec V6 Engine Mods: LPG Exhaust: Standard Gearbox: Auto Wheels/Tyres...

I've been told not to worry about cat converters unless you're really going all out, just get their entry and exit pumps widened for the larger exhaust. An additional resonator than most sports exhausts can cut the noise down. There is a thread in here somewhere on exhaust notes for V6s where...

Hey WA Members I'm relatively new to the JC forums but hopefully you will get used to my presence here in the future and meet me in person too. I just picked up a VY II Berlina V6 after my VX was annihalated by the storm and am looking to modify! One of the first things I'm looking at...

Good to hear Chrisvyss

Hell no, first car was a 1985 Holden Gemini. I thrashed the damn thing, gutless as it was though. Sadly, I actually replaced it with another 85 Gemini for my second car, wasn't until my third when I finally cracked a commodore (VN).

I think they tend to recommend against mods of that level although if it is a dedicated system (not dual fuel) you can go all out (cams, forced induction, etc) and pull some crazy numbers although it is rather uncommon especially in the commodore scene. You can make mild mods with dual fuel...

Yikes, bad luck Chrisvyss. Atleast you have a direct and structured avenue for getting this sorted out and repaired with only cost being the inconvenience itself (hopefully if cpbait is on the money). There would be little recourse for such an issue in WA the transport department is less...

That is a nice sportwagon, that was my intended upgrade from my old VX Exec but the great storm had other ideas

Anyone experienced issues releasing the accelerator cable? Trying to make the swap in my VY berlina and the cable seems to be clipped in with a plastic yellow piece slightly different from the one in your photo. I couldn't get enough of a grip with my fingers to pop it off, looks like I need to...

You could go for the car parks around Fishing Boat Harbour in Freo or the spots along the coast between Scarborough and Marangaroo... all depends on where you want to drive to. Plus some car parks around South Perth near the Swan River for the city as a backdrop not to mention Kings Park, the...

Sexy wagon, are you planning on lowering it a bit? Would look awesome with those rims :)

I'm assuming your Berlina is a V6. For that money you could just about bolt on a gentle supercharger, although this might not fit with your 'p-plater legal' approach. I'd recommend extractors, exhaust set up, decent intake approach (cold air intake and maybe larger throttle body and a decent...

I've been collecting some quotes on a new exhaust system (headers to the tips) and noticed the single biggest cost in these systems are the cats (since the VY has two of the bastards). Is it worth replacing the factory pieces or do they flow well enough for the average cruising mobile (I'm...

Well they're Sony brand cds so I don't think the quality was the issue while burning the same disc with a slower speed has solved the problem.

This worked perfectly, thanks for the response :D

Hey I have recently picked up a VY II V6 Berlina currently in stock form (except for the LPG kit) and looking to lower it over some 18" rims (Incubus Paranormals) I have from my previous car. I'm looking to only drop the car ~50mm with King Springs. Basically, I am concerned about clearance...

The switch on my VY s2 Berlina lights up, the icons around the edge and the marking on the dial itself - I haven't had any modification made to it, completely factory for now

Hey fellow VY drivers I am just wondering if anyone has come across a problem the Blaupunkt 6 Disc Stacker factory head unit and home burnt cds? Yesterday I burnt a bunch of cds to keep in the car and after about 20 minutes of play the cd starts skipping and crap with not a single scratch...
