alright, cool. Appreciate the help bud. Hopefully its a bush of some sort cos massive cbf replacing the rack.

thanks for the heads up mate. I can safely say the strut top mounts and bearings were also replaced with nolathane ones about 1000kms ago. So i doubt they could be worn out already. Im using the adjustable caster bushes and there is a quarter degree more caster on the left than front but...

G'day guys Just wondering if someone could shed some light on a turning issue im having. Its nothing major but its beginning to annoy me. Basically, when you turn left the car acts normal and the steering wheel naturally returns to its original position, however, when i turn right, i find i...

thanks for the help blokes, i changed the transmission fluid and put some of that penrite lubrizol stuff in also and i made a bit of a difference, the knocking still happens when im coasting but its definately not as severe. Supercheap can get a centre bearing in for $30, will change it as soon...

would diff oil fix this? its a pretty severe clunk and feels a like metal slapping metal sensation throughout the tailshaft. i put a new batch of oil in yesterday when my backlash was reset, it was that heavy duty LSD nulon stuff and didnt change anything...

G'day guys As the titles states ive got a headache of a repetitive thud coming from the driveline ONLY when im coasting. only occurs at low rpm in every gear. as soon as im on the gas again the car is smooth, relatively. Now ive stuck my head under and dropped the diff to get the backlash re...

i dont understand how someone can con someone else so willingly. Ive got the engine wired up and ready to go and the memcal is all thats missing. I dont think ive had a bigger inconvenience in my life. thanks for clearing that up for me anyways boys. Not a happy camper atm.

G'day fellas Sorry to bump an old thread but i sent out my L67 memcal with $260 cash to Dr. bob last thursday and as soon as i confirmed that the cash and the memcal were on their way, i stopped receiving emails from him. Should i be worried? ive sent 4 since and he hasnt replied to any of them...

beauty. appreciate the help mate.

cool, no dyno tuning required correct?

cheers bud. are the tunes fairly complex? do i retain the ecotec ECU then recalibrate the L67's memcal and plug it back into the ecotecs ecu or hows it work

Sweet. So basically like you said, re-use the ecotec loom but modify it to suit the L67? btw whats a LIM?

i was told the strut towers crack when you lower the car. dont know how true that is though.

gday folks Dont want to furstrate anyone because i know theres a million threads covering this topic however after going through many of them im still unsure of what SPECIFICALLY needs to be done. The L67 will be replacing my ecotec in my vt exec 5 spd. I understand the flexplate must be...

oh yeah. does that involve removing the intake manifold again? drainer lol i nipped them up a bit more than 90nm anyways cos i read the increments on the torque wrench wrong. i think theyre sitting at 94nm or something thereabouts.

so its 1225am and i can safely say shes running smoothly. the dead battery was an issue and i had a couple of lose rockers :S i torqued them all up properly now theyre all good. ill do a couple more oil changes over the next few weeks until oil is golden again. thanks to all the fellas in this...

thanks bud that sounds a bit more reassruring. yea i did everything. heads, valve stem seals, manifold, rocker covers, plenum, thermostat gasket. The head gasket VRS.

yea that was my initial thought then paranoia kicked in, i thought i had blown another gasket

yep, thanks for that fellas i rushed it and mixed up cylinders 4 and 6. any ideas on the shitty oil colour though?

borrowed some jumper leads this morn and got it running however it didnt like to idle and died as soon as i took my foot off the gas. there was a massive pop around my air intake and i noticed the air box had cracked and there was smoke coming the pipe that goes from the airbox to the throttle...

no worries mate, thanks again for your help. ill let you know of the outcome as soon as i get things together.

apart from the radiator cap, everythings back on, sensors included. the only thing that isnt attached properly is the earth near the right header at the back of the block, couldnt exactly remember its home. i cant do much now cos the batteries flat. if i spat a little carby cleaner or sumthin...

well i just tried your 24mm theory and it doesnt seem like its getting caught anywhere. After 1 full revolution theres a bit of resistance though which im guessing is normal prob cos oil has lubricated all internals yet or what not. ill charge the battery up 2moz and see how i go. i inderstand...

i really hope its the battery cos my headaches big enough already. great idea with the 24 mm. cheers scvs6. would the timing be out though? seeing the pistons have moved while the heads were off

na didnt rebuild it, just got the heads vacuum tested and shaved but apart from that i just stripped the top end and put it all back together. all sensors r connected. tbh the pistons did move up and down a bit whilst the heads were off. would this have affected the timing when i installed the...

hey guys Just finished installing a new head gasket and the rest on my V6, put everything back together the way its supposed to go then said a little prayer and turned the key...unfortunately it didnt fire. it rotated a couple times but nothing. after trying and trying the battery gave up and...

you beauty! thanks for the advice fellas.

cool. thanks m8, ill replace them this w/e then. theres no contamination in the coolant though which i find a lil odd but i am losing coolant.

hey guys a couple days ago my Vt V6 started running a little rougher than normal so i pulled the dipstick up to check oil levels and all the oil on the stick (if you wanna even call it that) was anything but black. it was a milky light brown colour. i pulled the oil cap off and there was the...

gday fellas Im looking for an engine oil cooler kit for my 6.2 (clubsport). Ive found a B&M oil cooler kit (BM70270) but need to get an additional adapter for LS engines. Just wondering if anyone has an engine oil cooler set up on their VE clubsport and how they went about it. The harder i...

yep got a set of fresh ones when i put on the second hand compressor. i havnt replaced any hoses cos i wasnt told to and there isnt any evident leakage on them either...any other suggestions??

gday guys just got my a/c regassed about 2 weeks ago then went to chuck on the a/c yest and all i heard was a hissing sound coming from the vents. I was told i needed to replace the compressor dryer and condenser which i did but theres still a very slow leak. i got it looked at under uv light...

hey guys got a vt v6, and this morn out of no where there was a puddle of powersteering fluid on the floor when i reversed the car out, couldnt find where that was leaking from after i cleaned everything and now i got coolant pissing out from somewhere behind the powersteering pump. wtf. are...

na na i understand, everyones entitled to their own opinion i guess lol, carrum downs is a bit far as im in upper melbourne but if i find a weekend free, ill defs consider the trip cos i wanna get the system in asap. in the mean time ill scout out other exhaust joints around my area and see wat...

so what do i do HSV085?? majorly confused now. does the kpm catbak bolt up the same as the xforce catbak? was that mayb why u were able to fit the paceys?

Just got told this by Sureflo exhaust :( i really didnt want to weld the exhaust together, looks like i have no other option... If you look at the photos of our extractors, the cats are flanged in front as well as behind. That way they can be unbolted front & back. If you buy...

awesome thanks for the advice m8, yea dont wanna drop any names but he never said anything about welding gaskets to the cats, he said weld the cats striaight to the headers/catbak which i thought wasnt very logical but i didnt know much to begin with so i didnt say anything. do u know if sureflo...

gday guys need a bit of help on wat type of cats i need for this set up. ive got the extractors and the catbaks already installed, ive bin told i need to weld one end of the custom cats to the extractors n the other to the catbak? or i can just chop the standard cats and it should fit straight...

na not yet, still building up to it atm wif extractors etc. met a few guys wif cams n one of em had a 234 236 in a gen 3 putting out 318 rwkw n it sounded great! im looking at a 227 242, i want it big rough n loud.

VE R8 exhaust into SV6 gday guys quick question...can a 2009 VE R8 catbak exhaust bolt on to a VE SV6?
