    VN SS Rear Bar

    Mate, after some reasearch, the bar ends listed on the Rare Spares website are the ones you need. Just need to drill the mounting holes for the lower skirts.

    Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to make a note of what you've said.

    VN SS Rear Bar

    Yes, I am well aware of Sikaflex, however I want to fix the problem as opposed to putting a band-aid on it.

    VN SS Rear Bar

    Afternoon, Quick questions: I need to replace the left and right bar ends on my VN SS, as the mounting brackets have pulled away from the bar ends, rendering the ends somewhat useless. Is anyone able to tell me if the bar ends that are for sale at Rare Spares are what I need? Is the SS bar...

    Cheers fellas, I'll just grab a two wire sensor then. If anyone needs a single wire sensor, shoot me a PM.

    304 O2 Sensor

    I recently purchased a V8 out of a VQ Statesman for a project. I bought a new harness and I am in the process of replacing all the sensors as well. The engine had a single wire 02 sensor, so I bought one of those, however after checking the new harness, it has a plug for a two wire sensor...

    What's the best upgrades for a vs 5.0?

    Maybe fit the blower first, then build the tough motor. A tough N/A motor may not work so well with a blower.

    V8 Diff ratio question

    Hi, I'm currently in the process of putting a V8 from a Vq into my Vl. The transmission is a Turbo 700. I am about to buy some bits to rebuild the Vl Turbo 3.45 ratio diff that I will be fitting. I'm wondering what sort of RPM you guys with V8's are seeing at 100kph? I have an...

    My New VL! (first car)

    Nice VL mate, looks really good! Just wondering where you got your new front bar kit from? I'm chasing one for my project, not sure where to buy from at this stage as prices are all over the place!

    Distributors

    Maybe try asking these guys? www.caenterprises.com.au - The CAE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS pages lists our Catalogue and Products.

    Yep, just bought it now. Cool, thanks, that clears it right up. Thanks everyone for their help, much appreciated.

    Distributors

    Ok cool, so if an adapter cable can be used then it means only the plugs are different. Where did you get your new one from? And how much? Is it new or reco?
  15. Hillerus

    Distributors

    New, or Reco? Where from?
  16. Hillerus

    Distributors

    Because, the car is over 20 years old, and it's not often new OEM parts are available So, Vn-Vr were all the same, just a different plug? Thanks
  17. Hillerus

    Distributors

    Just wondering if the only difference between the distributors on the 5l were the plugs for the harness on them? So, if I buy a dizzy that has a different plug to the one in my 90 VQ, can I just change the plug on the harness and it will be all good? Thanks

    Do you happen to have both of the front lower door moulds? I noticed one is missing in the pic? I would be keen for both if you have them and they are in good condition.

    Ok, thanks. Can you recommend a brand or place to get a decent aftermarket one?

    Distributors

    Hey, I'm currently chasing a new distributor for my EFI VL V8 project. I'd prefer a new one over reco'd. Can anyone recommend a good brand or place to buy a new Bosch one (if they are even still available?), or aftermarket one? I'm not interested in a MSD or the like "performance"...

    Thinking of buying a bike

    You sure on that? Pretty sure its a power to weight ratio and engine capacity limit. You can get 650s that fall into LAMS, but not 600s. And don't write Hyosung off, I ride one every day - a GT650S - and have not a had too many issues. It's got nothing on my Gsx-R, but its still a great bike in...

    Hillerus's VP SS

    I sold the car for around six grand. Probably too cheap, but I got what I was looking for, I wanted the car gone ASAP, and it enabled me to get another bike without actually costing me any money. From a financial perspective, its actually cheaper for me to rego and insure two bikes then it...

    Hillerus's VP SS

    Yeah mate it was time to say goodbye. I hope I never see it again though to be honest. It would break my heart if I saw it and it wasn't looked after. I'm having too much fun with bikes to worry too much about it though, and hopefully next year a Ducati 848 will take the spot up in the garage...

    Hillerus's VP SS

    Hey mate, I actually sold the car late last year. I was getting tired of it, I didn't want to spend anymore money on it, and since buying the Gsx-R I hardly used it. I got rid of it bought a second hand commuter bike. I miss the V8 rumble a bit, but other than that, I'm happy to have it gone.

    Who here rides? and what do you ride?

    There is always the CBR 125, not too expensive to buy brand new and would be a good beginners bike. Pretty small and light too. Or as naf33n said, you could always go with the ZZR250.

    Is it ignorance or stupidity?

    The biggest wankers I come across are blokes in their brand new VE SS utes that find it necessary to try and race me on my Gsx-R 750. Why? Have they never heard of power-to-weight ratio's?

    Cheers mate, just thought I would slip a disclaimer in there:whistling And to the VLT lovers, I'm yet to be beaten by a VLT on my Gixxer, and yet to find a car that can do 130km/h in first gear.... on the track of course....;)

    Preparing Tie rods & Ends

    That's true, but I've re-used them heaps and never had a problem. When it gets to the point that you can screw a Nyloc on by hand, that's when they are worn to the point of replacement.

    Preparing Tie rods & Ends

    Yeah mate, it's just a Nyloc nut. That will be fine.Most of the time with Nyloc nuts too, if the nylon is blue, its Metric thread, if its white, its Imperial. Maybe throw a bit of Ant-seize on all the threads of everything too, it will make it easier if you need to disassemble it down the...

    Jack Leaking

    Not me. I will never ever get under a car supported by one of those. And especially not the one I had when I owned my Vl, which appeared to be made out of a bunch of twigs taped together and painted black. As soon as I jacked the old Vl up, the jack crapped itself. I pulled it out from...

    Oil for 5.0 Clubbie

    Yeah, that's exactly right when it comes to choosing the right oil. It's all too easy for some people to buy the wrong oil for their intended application, then turn around and blame the oil when it all goes wrong. With the oil sampling, I'm fairly sure it was done at every service, but I...

    Oil for 5.0 Clubbie

    It looks that way!:whistling I just spoke to someone who was involved with some of the road testing of Mobile Synthetics, and the owner of the Series 60 Detroit that I inspected when it was stripped. His recommendation for Mobile Synthetic applications was not the 10w 30 oil, as this is not...

    Oil for 5.0 Clubbie
