    Handbrake Adjustment VZ Commodore

    I'm trying to do my VX that has a VZ rear end it and these adjustment cogs dont do anything when turned. I pulled the handbrake shoe off and both ends out and there isn't even a thrad in there. The cog side is solid inside it and the other side is hollow with a pin inside it. WTF is going on here

    Another starting issue bla bla bla

    Surge tank question?

    Did you get this problem all the time but, this only happens very rarely most times i could do a standing stop to 200 and it would be ok, i also run a constant 3.2bar fuel pressure. Could the pump be loosing fuel due to low return pressure all the time.

    VS 5.0L fuel pressure

    OK thanks, Not stock, Just another thought on why my pumps are going, If i have reduced the return flow to the tank (constant 3bar) than does that mean my swirl pot is not getting an good volume of fuel under a set level causing the things to die early
