Is the stuffed lift pump a Walbro by any chance? Never had any luck with them, several of my mates have had them fail too. Now I stick to Bosch, Aeromotive and Magnafuel.

I had the brake vacuum reservoir in my VN and it fixed my issues. Would require lots of pedal idling up to red lights prior but after it was sweet even at idle. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

How much do series 1 ve maps cost to update? It's just a dvd isn't it? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Of those 2 I'd go the edge. But I like fuchs. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

100 cell cats will flow better but be louder. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

No of course I don't need more power, 400rwkw is plenty. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I've got my 17" simmons up for sale. I was gonna strip and rebuild them with the centers done in black but they're currently a red that would just about match the paint on the new car perfectly. Pm me if you're keen Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

No way this thing weighs 1500kg. 1370kg is like manual VN 5.0L weight as listed by Holden who always underrate their weights. I'd say it would be close to 1700kg. That and the fact you won't get traction without quite a bit of suspension tweaks and trial and error I would say high 10's would be...

You'll be fine until you fit drag tyres to it. Then you'll probably want to do more racing anyway and a new box will almost be a certainty then. No reason they can't last on the street though, traction will be the defining factor. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Not sure which the part numbers are for but the yellows are adjustable for compression via a little knob on top. The reds you have to remove the shock at one end and turn the body to adjust, hence the yellows are dearer. They're also valved differently. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I cannot believe people actually rate the factory bridgestones as a track tyre lol. Have any of you actually ever run R compound tyres before? How can you judge performance tyres when you have only tested 2 types? I've had Dunlop SP's, Khumo Ku36's and normal Ecsta, Toyo Trampio's and R1R's...

What kind of rpm will you rev this too? Should be a torque monster, needs peanut heads though... :P Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Depends on what you want for a tyre. I favor dry grip over all but you won't get 80k km out of a set of Hankook Ventus RS3's like I would suggest. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I modded my own struts for the Koni yellow inserts. It's really not hard at all. Your monroe struts should be fine to modify. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Why has nobody suggested a 383 or even 396 holden stroker? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I think I'm gonna get a set of these sureflo headers and ballistic cats after some more reading up on them. They're kinda a medium length primary header but what power lost there is probably made up in the better collector size and design than most other headers. The good ground clearance is a...

No for ages man, I sold my zook when my son was born unfortunately. Now a fairly stock prado is the only 4wd I own :( Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

No my power steering has never leaked. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Sureflow headers aren't long tubes are they? So you're getting high ground clearance due to cats being in the stock location but sacrificing power over a set of Pacemaker long tubes for example. In this case I have my doubts as to the cost effeciveness over the stock HSV 4 into 1 shorties. What...

Problem is the average person wouldn't notice a difference between the crappiest oil and a good one. People like us have to figure out what our modified performance vehicle's require and go from there. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Yes of course, that's pretty obvious isn't it? But we're still just blindly trusting the oil companies, like royal purple for example with added "synnerlec" dafuq is that? Penrite with "extra 10". And many with added Zinc. How do we know it's not bullshit? We don't because there is no...

Not owned, do some research. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Ever realised that none of it is required in Australia. They could slap whatever they like on the side of he bottle and be within the law here. Australia has NO regulation standards for motor oil. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Price drop. $13k and it's yours. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Having the washer on backwards will just chew out the rubber/polyurethane quickly. If it's getting done within the week it should be fine though. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

What is the point of 9.5" wide wheels if you only want 245 wide tyres? +22 offset is gonne require a major guard roll to even come close to fitting. You need +40 offset or more, stock is like +54 Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

If you want a good value for money blower cam look to America. I'm ordering a Texas Spees Performance blower cam package (springs, pushrods etc) for $750+freight as apposed to VCM packages for around $1250. The yanks have more runs on the board than anyone here too. Sent from my GT-I9505...

Xforce exhausts flow alright and sound ok but their headers and cats aren't real flash. Go with pacemaker and venom race cats and then xforce cat back and you'll have as good flowing exhaust as any other for good value for money. Somewhat harder to specify when you want drive in drive out work...

Problem with oils is there is no standardised testing and they can claim anything they want. Basically just use what has a good reputation for results in your particular engine. I use Fuchs because it's been good for me and many racers over the years. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

400rwkw supercharged heavy arse VE GTS and I averaged under 9L/100km at 100kph over a 2000km trip from NSW to north QLD. Around town suffers worse because of the inclination to give it a bootful at any available moment. Stock tunes are **** though there is more power and much better economy to...

Honestly, I have a VN that is essentially a circuit car, it holds it's own against the rwd jap cars at track days in the corners and smokes most of them in the straights. My new VE GTS is stock standard and I think it's already about 80% as good as my VN in the handling department. With some...

Whiteline are now owned by Nolathane and hence the quality of their products has fallen in my opinion. I use SuperPro bushings exclusively and they tend to last much longer than other urethane brands I have tried. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Don't install a big solid cam and heavy ceramic clutch lol. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

That's the V6 models Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

A news show many many years ago did a story on this and it was a massively inflated figure in the hundreds of thousands for just a cheap economy car. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

If you care about your car you will change it every 5000km at the most. I change the VN's oil every 3000km. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

A few toys of mine, custom serrated Kukri that is weighty as all hell, engraved Bowie was a present from VTL53, inside joke but the engraver can't spell lol, Imported slingshot from the US now running double pure latex bands with 0.490 lead balls, and my Martin Saber recurve with assorted pointy...

LOL LPGs kills plugs, don't be a cheap skate

Depends on what you want in a tyre too. For all out grip you will need a tyre with a low tread wear rating and hence they won't last long. If you don't value grip as much as longevity then cheaper brands often are the go. When going nasty cheap though like Wanli tyres you will often find...
