    is there a difference for v8 and v6 diffs?

    Yeah want to go full swap. Pick up a old open 3.07 m80, do a rebuild on it, fit 4.11 and install a spool. Car isn't registered any more hence going a spool, otherwise I'd go all out on a true track if I was running on the street. Car has a 3 bolt flange currently. Are the drive shafts the same?

    is there a difference for v8 and v6 diffs?

    Sorry for the thread dig, but a quick question. I have a vx s pack, just want to confirm that I can remove the m78 diff and replace it with a m80 diff? Do I need to change anything else like drive shafts?

    Harrop Carbon Series Exhaust

    I'm keen to hear how the 2.5" sounds, I was interested for my caprice. I like the idea of the standard style joints so I can order the harrop header/cat and run stock cat back or stock header/cat and harrop cat back. Either way whatever I get I can fit at home with no cutting or welding

    Toey's "Project X" manual vx s pack

    Well its about time for a bit of an update. Not much happened for a few months as I was on the sidelines when I hurt my back. The day I went out to the mine I work t for my return to work medical I blew up the motor on the way back into town. After this the car sat around broken for a couple of...

    hot start idle issue

    righto, thanks for that. I will rip off the old tb of the blown motor next week sometime if I have a few spare minutes and whack that on the replacement and see how that goes because the old motor never had this prob so I figure if it was either the iac or tps that will sort the issue, if not...

    hot start idle issue

    hi guys, just trying to do some research to find what the potential issue is with my vx ecotec. Bit of background on the car, blew the motor up late last year and didn't have time to swap motors til easter. We picked up a written off vx and pulled the motor and fitted that, started first go and...

    1/2 mile run.

    Yep you are right. The guy who runs cooma was in nswcc, but what you failed to mention is he was one of the original 2 guys who started the temora 1000 in 2011, so not unoriginal at all. After the way the **** went down with nswcc and the way it's witch hunt was handled, I'll be steering well...

    1/2 mile run.

    Snowy mountains 1000 is held in cooma. Much better race surface and longer braking area. It's also held over 2 days due to its popularity. It's also held in November this year

    Adjusting to a new job.

    Sleep patterns are easy to change, mine changes weekly. As said bed is for rootin or sleeping n nothing else. When I climb into bed, I'm asleep within 5-10 minutes. If outside noise is disturbing you, turn on the radio to drown out any noise which will help you get use to sleeping with noise...

    Break upgrade legality

    So after reading your thread, I'm going to have to pull a rim off n check if I have a 45 or 48 offset on my supersports. Pretty sure mine will be the 45 seeing as it's got the hsvi optioned rims n it's a 07 model. Thanks for the info guys Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Anyone used a Chiropractor, not for any standing issue?

    Which ever way you decide to go, the muscles must be loosened before anything can happen otherwise it's just get em in n out for bulk cash. I have 45 minute appointments with my chiro and 40 minutes is just massaging the muscles then the last 5 minutes is the cracking with my personal favourite...

    Anyone used a Chiropractor, not for any standing issue?

    Once you know what is causing the pain, muscle, disc or nerve pain then you can decide what is the course of action. I go to the chiro every month or two just to loosen the tense back muscles and align my spine mainly due to the discomfort and stiffness I get due to my 2 jobs. Feels much better...

    vx v6 slave cylinder question

    bit rude to go asking a seller on ebay to give me advice on something I got else where. I don't like my time being wasted by people who have no intention on buying anything from me so I wont go doing that to others. also the place I got it from doesn't know either, so I guess ill just have to...

    hi guys, I just picked up a new slave to throw in when I change the clutch in my vx. I picked up a new pwr one, the same as this one on ebay Geniune PBR Holden Commodore VS V6 Clutch Slave Cylinder 04 95 08 97 | eBay so when I checked it out there was some play in the post/arm part. I...

    V8 Supercars no longer being broadcast on free to air tv ?

    That's nothing to do with the catagory but the tv producers that piece it together. The joys of pay tv is they don't have to pay for the rights solely from advertising so they don't get jammed in at every opportunity like free to air. Coverage while getting more air time on 7, the amount if ads...

    V8 Supercars no longer being broadcast on free to air tv ?

    The joys of tapatalk, it doesn't show coloured text ;) so the fact that v8sc is running a large business and trying to turn a profit to make it viable business has nothing to do with it? like any large business they would investigate any contract offer put forward for broadcasting rights and...

    V8 Supercars no longer being broadcast on free to air tv ?

    So which part is so funny? Speed Channel having a larger audience world wide? Enticing new sponsors? More sponsor dollars? The v8sc bosses acting with the sports best interests? Or the great other categories of Motorsport about to watch? Please do enlighten me

    V8 Supercars no longer being broadcast on free to air tv ?

    Limiting the audience to free to air is short sighted. Speed channel has a much larger world wide audience then a Australian free to air channel can ever hope for. This will open up the doors to multinational businesses or Australian businesses looking to crack another market. The larger the...

    V8 Supercars no longer being broadcast on free to air tv ?

    Well I'm happy with the v8's going to foxtel. I'll be tuning into speed hd for sure. If you are true fans that are keen to tune in you will find a way to watch every round. Can always tune into live streams to watch it. End of the day we now have more coverage then ever before so pick your...

    Help with cutting, polishing and waxing, and more!

    Would go the magic blue over naturally black every day of the week with no hesitation The blue wax is as good as the dodo wax in its looks and durability and it's 1/3 or the price. Depending on the sealant you choose, the 22ple, nitro seal, wolfs hard body (@ccp), opti coat 2.0 (@zas), carpro c...

    Help with cutting, polishing and waxing, and more!

    so the plan is close but you should swap the wax n sealant around. personally I probably wouldn't bother with wax if its a daily the products I would be looking at myself das6 pro kit u have wouldn't bother with the 3m compound as menz fg500 will do the same thing and why do it by hand...

    vz ss maf or mafless tune

    Maf tune with otr is the best option. To do a maf tune the tuner first disables the maf and does a maf less tune using the map sensor then re enables the maf and tunes that to suit. So effectively you still have a maf less tune which is more refined due to it taking data from two sources. The...

    Alloy Wheel Cleaner

    Well said tinny! So back to the op, my opinion that if off the shelf wheel cleaners and elbow grease aren't removing the dust then I'd say it's embedded into the rims clear coat. If that is the case you will need a de-ironiser like iron-x to dissolve the embedded metal particles. While this...

    Cut & polish advantage?

    Klene t is only a all purpose cleaner which the home punter will be better off buying simple green from bunnings. Joy bond is a clay bar which are dime a dozen. While these will sort out the sap issue, prevention is much better then a cure Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    2011 Holden WM Caprice V8 Flat spot

    You may have cleaned it but that still doesn't eliminate a faulty iat sensor. It really sounds like it's pulling timing which is exactly what mine was doing. I put on hp tuners and logged it and it was pulling massive amounts of timing at a time with anything over 15% throttle and even after 20...

    Cut & polish advantage?

    Yep used it and like the finish but it's only been on customers cars because I polish mine more often so it's a waste of good product. That one kit has the part a and part b which will easily coat 2 commodores if not 3. It spreads so thin it's not funny. For washing look at ph neutral wash, 2...

    Cut & polish advantage?

    Simple answer is yes, but it must still be cared for. He'll there is ceramic coatings that will last as long as your paint if looked after. Take it from me, I have spent more on detail products in the last 12 months then most will spend in a life time. I also get sent products for testing before...

    Claybar convert

    Hmmm..... Well that combo isn't going to be great as glazes generally have some cleaners in them and if it's mixed with a sealant the quality of the sealant is compromised. Due to this n 2nd coat will only be wasting product but waxing over the top will improve the look. To be honest I would...
