reporting back on this, it seems to be jerking/misfiring at low RPM..... Seems like it COULD be the 02 sensors.....doesn't seem to be running on 3 cyl as it still has guts, but not at low RPM (as it misfires). And no error codes. Any way to confirm?

Yeah, not fussed about the cluster, it's the same cluster, just new face (so had to remove the needles, I'll just resit the rev one when I have time - as it could be rubbing) When for another drive today, this time, windows down and I was in FIRST gear, I put my foot down (not all the way, but...

Ok, so basically car has been running fine, however, I recently took out the needles to install a new cluster face, and today my REV's needle was stationary....all other needles were working fine. (not sure if this is related to the issue, I'm just stating it incase it is, but I doubt it). I...

Cost ~$3 :)

Please tell me you have plans of dropping an 8 in there once you're off your P's? Cause if it did, it would be an insane car. Looks the tops now though mate. Well done.

Cat converter heat shields causes my rattle for a good 3 seconds... then it goes away.

There is a mobile phone box in ALL VZ's? I have a VZ executive...?

Ah ok, so basically just remove the side seats, and then the C pillars? Don't need to remove the parcel shelf etc..?

Is it possible to solder a single wire onto this "tab" (where is it located?)

The aerial has it's own control box (it's after market) and for greater reception, I need to solder a single wire to the control box. So it will just use the fillament to transmit the frequencies :) Shouldn't burn etc... when the demister is turned on. I just can't find the "control box"...

Now, I'm hooking my aftermarket aerial up to the rear window heat filament to get better reception, however, I can't find the small black box which the wire joins the rear window anywhere! Any ideas where it's located?

Turned out AMAZING! The unit I got is a 30cm flexible LED5050 strip, which goes into a little control box (with a remote) and then into a 12v source, now, both units are running off the same 12v source, and, to my surprise, one remote works for both units!! :) So now, all I do, is point the...

Ok, so it appears that the yellow is positive, and so is the brown, but the brown is only positive when the headlights are on...... Now, to connect the LEDS to yellow/black, we'll see what happens.

Just checked the fuse, it's all good :) I'm going to get a voltage tester today and will let you know.

Thanks mate, how would something like this go? - 3-28V Cordless Voltage Tester - Jaycar Electronics That way, I can find the two +ve terminals, and the one that doesn't light up should be the ground?

Unfortunately that still didn't work :( Thanks for your help though mate.

Ok, so the stock smokers pack plug is a 3pin, top two pins are Black/white stripe and Yellow, and the bottom pin is brown/white strip......so if I want to connect 12v red/black +/- wire to this, what goes where? I've tried a few combinations with no luck.

so is the bottom pin on the standard 3pin plug negative or not?

Do you happen to have the 3pin plug? If so, could you please tell me what the wires are on the stock cable? As jaycar isn't close to me so I'll just tap the wires into the stock cables.... I also have a little control box which the LEDs go into and a remote that switches them on off, so that's...

Quick question, couldn't find the exact answer from a search. I was to install 12v neons in the footwells and hook them to the LIGHT circuit, using the smokers pack plug, which cable is 12+v (light circuit) and which is negative? Thanks

Tried your spare key?

Installed it, the 2.7m cable isn't long enough to wire to the boot/rear windscreen, so the little "box" of the aerial is under the back seat....however, reception is pretty poor, so I'm looking at connecting to the rear window heater (+ve)....anyone know where it's located? I can see anything on...

I'm not mechanic or anything, but how can 3 chains cost so much???

I don't understand how that can cost ~$2000 to fix???

Sounds good, might get myself some of that. Cheers.

Hey guys. I do lots of short driving.....pizza deliveries to be exact. So what's the best oil for me? Lots of stop start.... I'm going to be changing the pol every 3-5000km thanks to THIS guide. Car has done 143000km....and I'd prefer to get the oil from SuperCheapAuto so I get 25% discount...

Cheers mate. :) I'll install it tomorrow and update you all.

Just got this info confirmed by the seller :) Will be hooking it up tomorrow/Sunday and I'll let you know how it goes. You don't HAVE to hook it up to the rear windscreen, so I'll see what it's like without it first. EDIT* So is the black 12v positive wire, is that needed to be connected to...

Ok, so got the aerial above I linked you to.... Pretty confusing though, where the aerial plugs into the head unit, there is a black wire. Then at the other end (which goes to the rear window) there is a red wire and clear one with a terminal on? How would it hook up to the heat filament of the...

Alloy, yeah, sorry. But yeah, maybe look around as it might be worth it?

I'm in perth, but on GumTree there is a VZ ecotech which has 40K km on the clock, going for $1200, so maybe look around for a very low KM engine?

So what damage can be done if it's not replaced?

Hi guys. Firstly, I don't want anyone saying "It would be cheaper to buy an SS...." What kind of cost would I be looking at to converting a VZ Executive V6 auto into a V8 manual of some sort? Either a VZ SS motor, or, Holmat do have the 6L VE for $6500....then the VE 6 Speed "TR6060" manual is...

Will do, it should be here this week sometime. :)

14m aerial haha, it's like that :) I just bought the AERIAL ON EBAY. I'll let you know how it goes if you don't purchase one within a week :)

Ok guys. If I were to grab these - NVU, Genuine Holden parts to suit Holden Commodore VR,VS,VT,VX,VY,VZ,Monaro,Statesman,Utes and HSV Not sure if the link works, but the description... Would they be an improvement over the stock callipers? I would need 320mm rotors for the front too, so that...

Hi guys. Looking at grabbing some LED strips (12v) Now, If I connect to the cigarette lighter 12v, will I still need to run a fuse between the LED's and the +ve cigarette wire? Or can I get away with no fuse?

Hey guys. Looking at getting the backside of my side mirrors colour coded to my car, do I have to remove the whole side mirror to remove these? (I know how to do that), but how do I remove the read cover?

Ok, so there is no harm in running the car on BP Ultimate? Just making sure as I know some cars don't play nice with 98.

Ok, I'll switch to 95 when the tank is empty. Will BP Ultimate be better to run in terms of the engine/fuel efficiently? Or should I just stick to 95?
