I have a ramjet on my VU SS, looks nice and neat, especially with the radiator shroud cut around it, almost looks OEM apart from the logo on the front, BUT, it is a bitch to get the filter out, I have yet to figure out a way to do it other than taking the front bar off, which as far as im...

There is plenty of room in the electrical industry for a change of scenery, in 8 years I have worked in new houses, old houses, CBUS automation, commercial construction (schools, hospitals, high rises etc) and I now work in the service field specialising in high speed data networks and fibre...

Car is now for sale, 15k Stally is also for sale, $550.

Blower Heads Cam Exhaust Fuel system All good fun, and could be done with $20000. Nek minute, transmission will blow up with all that extra gear stripping torque, diff probably wont last, CV's will snap eventually. Etc etc.

When I eventually get them rebalanced I will, I pulled them all off and bogged up the scratches they left, at the moment the car drives fine, no real vibrations unless you get to 100, but I hardly drive it so Im in no rush, but never the less I will one day get them rebalanced.

I with you 100%, they would look pure sex, but I cant justify 4k on wheels alone, especially because the car only gets driven once a week for about 30 mins. Im doing the go fast stuff first, enjoy the sleeper look a bit :D. Standard height and wheels, but sporting 3k stally, 3.9's and the...

Haha, thanks mate. I'd love some simmons but cant justify the price of them tbh. Been a tough enough slog getting funds approved from the hugs n kisses to do the cam/stall/diff/headers. I am swaying towards the 19" GTS rims, i really like the SV300's but they are so hard to find, and the look...

Thanks mate, repairing the wheels was sought of a cheap fix for the time being, only ended up costing bout $50 for all the stuff. I am stuck on wheel choice now, I have either been thinking VX GTS, VX SV300 or Speedy cheetahs in 20". The wheels and lowering will come last, want it to go hard...

Not much to update, repaired all my alloys, basically just bogged them, sanded, primed, sprayed and cleared. Did it all with the tyres on, just masked them up. Pretty happy with the way they turned out, some were fairly gouged. Before: Bogged then primed: Finished: Also figured out...

First piece of advice, and this is a good one: Dont go to the carwash. For many reasons, the brushes (both autowash and DIY) will leave swirls and scratches in your clear coat, and the chemicals will generally ruin any hard work you put in putting wax/liquid polish on the car. EDIT: Sorry...

Timing chain isn't a necessity if yours is in good nick, lifters are the same deal (and also worth noting that to do lifters the heads have to come off, so more labour $$$, but if you do go this route get the heads shaved at least while they are off, bump comp up a little, or do the heads...

only 'secret' base in australia is pine gap, and its not much of a secret any more, alot of theory's about it. AFAIK It was a joint venture between australia and the U.S moons ago.

Yep, same deal here, read that it was the bees knees, changed it and found instantly more noise, so changed back to HPR 5 (5w-40) much quieter and cheaper to boot.

You sir, are a **** stain on the underpants of society. Your old man should have shot you into a playboy centrefold.

Im pretty sure you can buy a little infill piece to cover the hole.

Good for parking but in a rear end collision, having a towbar is worse, you may skip on the panel damage but you will sustain more chassis damage, as the towbar is bolted onto the chassis. Mate of mine is an accident repairer and said alot of the time towbars can cause a write off as the car...

At the end of the day the N/A V6 isn't a performance motor, and without forced induction or heaps of cash it will never make a great deal of power. You will end up spending a bucket on the V6 when you could get the same power out of a standard L67 or LS1. A standard LS1 will run rings around...

p platers with stock v6 commodores that drive around on chopped springs and stockies with a bad look on there face like they are the tuffest kents out with the fastest cars ever to grave the bitumen.

driving down kings way yesterday, following a bloke in a white VY ute with a sticker on the back that says "I love to bang my dildo". dafuq?

Just go with ported 241's, either your own or buy a cheap set and have the work done to them, your setup isnt going to be too wild so I doubt you'll notice any difference between ported 241's and 243's, just the initial layout will be more for 243's. By the sounds of it a mid 220's cam will...

Some pics of the bay after a wash yesterday, was thinking about ditching the hyper yellow covers and putting some edelbrock coil covers on, they look pretty sweet, alot easier than a coil relocation too. Im gonna have a go at repairing my wheels myself, will get some stuff during the week to...

Took it for a drive, then washed it, then stashed it back in the garage... Considering pulling the flood light out and giving it a late night clay bar, polish and wax...considering..

If its a series 1 - 5 litre then cant really help you, but if its the series 2 - LS1, treat yourself to a full exhaust system (headers, cats, twin 2.5" system) OTR intake and a mafless tune. Should see you making around 230-240rwkw and will really wake the beast. Also if its an auto the mafless...

If your going with 3.73's or 3.9's go with genuine gears only. They wont whine if installed correctly by a reputable diff builder, the cheaper gears have a tendency to whine regardless. IMHO the difference between RPM @ 100km/h with 3.7s or 3.9s is pretty minimal, so go the 3.9's, you'll...

02 VU SS, 150,000kms. Currently increasing at a rate of about 5kms a week.Might hit 200,000kms in about 20 years or so.

I have been diagnosed as having a red green deficiency, the most common form of colour blindness. Put simply, if I am standing next to someone with normal vision, looking at a stop sign, the red they see is more vibrant than the red that I see, so I get mixed up if you put red and brown next to...

Like any engine, making it breath better will make it a little quicker, exhaust, extractors, intake mods will do wonders for the V6. As will a good service. No, your not going to go around slaughtering v8's with it, but it will feel alot more lively. At the end of the day I wouldnt worry about...

Thanks mate, to be honest that was the plan initially, as I quite like the look of the car standard, but when I was driving it to work (she's a shed queen now :D) I pulled up at a job out front of portsea hotel and gutterbashed one of the rims bad (the gutters are old school brick pavers, real...

Thanks for that mate, all the engine work will be done first, then Ill think about wheels, I did some mad photoshopping the other day with 5 different sets of wheels and Ill probably go with VX GTS 19", they just look classy. Ill definately get the guards rolled, although I think the front...

Bout $3000-$3500 is the going rate for cam/springs/rods and custom tune.

Been on here a while now and I've finally started doing some bits and pieces to the car so thought it was about time for a my ride thread! I bought my VU SS s2 last year in oct, off an older bloke who was meticulous about this car, so was in awsome condition, auto, 129,000km's, optioned with...

for a built auto, your looking at $3000 upwards, depending on strength needed etc. Stallys are around $1200 new, I bought my slingshot 3000rpm stall for $550 second hand. As for the conversion, no idea, havnt seen to many advertised to be honest, most swap their working manuals for autos.

Lookin good mate, can I ask what springs and shocks are in it now? The height is perfect, I too have a VU SS and dont want to dump it in the weeds, just want to lower it a little to get rid of the 4x4 look, I'd be happy for it to be the same height as yours is now.

it would probably chime when driving when the handbrake is up, never tried, but it DEFINATELY chimes when the handbrake is off, it does it every time I hit a certain speed, and every few minutes when cruising at 100km/h the light may be blown

I recently swapped the dash cluster in my VR calais as the previous cluster's LCD's had bled out, straight swap same for same, but after the swap my handbrake alarm is operating fairly consistently, but the warning light doesn't come on, even with the handbrake up. I also pulled the centre...
