Agreed, extra sensor worth having to fine tune the abilities. I have a VY but fitted with the larger VZ MAF and even the tuner was surprised with the results.

that looks like one of the MAF'less only OTR's. As Kiddo mentioned, good luck finding the matching filter, I'd give it a crack though they're a worth mod.

I had 255/35R18s on the back for a while, the only scrubbing I got was on the passenger side rear muffler heat shield, it protrudes about 1/2" at the rear inside arch, nothing some bending didn't fix. The main problem I had though was that fitted to a lowered vehicle the camber is already maxed...

I used ScanXL to check, recorded TPS as 90% did some grinding got it to 100% Can't tell you the diff from just that one mod as I ported and polished the throttle body at the same time. Combined though was a noticed improvement, very responsive and "feels" like a few more ponies could just be...

Late but for others info... the steering wheel controls run off one wire with each button having a certain resistor on it. resistance x = vol+, resistance y = vol-, etc. So set your multimeter on ohms and with it hooked up to earth and the wire you want to test just press a button on the wheel...

300kw gotta be cammed. grab the otr, get your tune for your car though

I had the same alternator whine for some time which sent me loopy! I ended up rewiring the whole system; not sure which one specifically solved it but here are the things I changed: - Moved amp earths from seat back sheet metal to the seatbelt bolts - the "Big 3 Upgrade" (YouTube it) - moved...

Yeah definitely more... as mo1st said, an average cam should net around the 350 mark. My VY SS is putting down 339rwhp with just bolt-ons, no cam.

Mine was doing the same a couple of weeks ago. plugs and leads had only been done like 10K prior. Turned out the O2's were faulty, sending bad signals and dumping in too much fuel, but got normal power when stomping the loud peddle as O2 signal isn't used in those high rev instances.

can you feed the wire through the grommet using the zip tie trick?

Considering that the T-56 is also used in the (3rd gen) Dodge Viper, I'd be inclined to think that it is more than capable of handling a bit of Holden V8 grunt

Thanks Surfwagon! was after the same answer.

Installed the new stereo audio/video setup last weekend :D waiting on a couple little connectiviy parts to complete the install (like powered video splitter and SWI-X module for steering control); once I've got it fully sorted will post some more pics.

Pretty sure it was a 24; whatever your standard tool sets go up to, it was the next one up from the biggest size in those kits... grrrr! If not 24, then 22; either way hope you got a rattle gun for it! it can be a real b!tch to do with just a ratchet.

geez Daxster, bit of work going into that kitchen now! freaking amazing work considering your restrictions!

fo shiz Rossi, next year when it cools down a bit we'll do another run to Willowbank and we'll pit up against each other ay! As for the topic contribution; original owner had it dyno'd a few years back with just exhaust (tri-y, twin 2 1/2in x-flow, 400cell cats) and tune at 233rwkw. Since...

I got the same off of ebay - King SL's, Monroe GT + rear camber kit for $900 delivered. I posted a couple pics here with before and afters. Been meaning to load some more pics, think I might go for a little drive after the doco I'm watching. I get a little fender scrubbing on the front...

Some people like the mesh grille, just as some people like the chev badge and other like the all-Aussie 5L... takes all sorts to make a car enthusiasts forum, no need to flame another's choice if it's not one you share. Keep the criticisms to yourself, share knowledge and the passion of Holden...

@madvnss, ebay mate, the di-noc stuff is the good stuff for outdoors use. @Hillzzy, definitely need to pay attention to the road more ay. it's a bit of tit-for-tat really; a lot firmer ride to the FE2, you really feel everything on the road; on the plus side the thing grips like cat on carpet...

Cheers guys AusFitter - Northside; there's a Just Commodores meet on Tuesday nights at Bunnings Stafford if ya feel like getting to know the locals.

Lowered suspension now fitted. While I was at it also did a bit of a service: - engine, gearbox, diff, brake & clutch fluids - oil and fuel filters - O2 sensors - Plugs & Leads (NGK Iridium plugs & Taylor 10.4mm leads)

Thanks lads. @eddy if you know how to read schematics, wamboin23 put a post up here that I used. I also added in an extra switch between the '30' terminal and DRLs for manual over-ride off switch. Another note is that the schematics has the 'on' at post '85' to headlights, however to be...

I'll vouch for that too mate ;)

installed secondary cigarette lighter in drivers footwell so I can run power to the GPS without wires getting all crazy in the way.

I just installed the Ramjet on my VY the other day; as matqld said it was a little bit of a PITA to install, got there in the end. I'm running mine with the MAF, little different though as I picked up a larger VZ MAF to use on the cheap. Definitely notice the power and sound difference, and as...

Both my cars are weekend drivers; had the VY SS since since March and average around 14.5L/100km. My other vehicle I've had for 8yrs, is an '88 FRP LandCruiser turbo-diesel, gets about 9L/100km. If I need to do a bit of 'generic' driving I'll take the 'Cruiser, but if the roads offer a bit...

press and hold the set button, one mate holds it for a few seconds, mine I gotta hold if for something like 10 or so seconds.

I don't mind the DRL's but I'm VERY particular of which setups I like. Both examples above will be defected as soon as they are pulled over. Pulled straight from the ADR Division 4 Daytime running lights 85 - Daytime running lights (1) A pair of daytime running lights may be fitted to a...

yeah Supercheap has their generic brand, I still got a bottle lying around somewhere for when I could be ass'd cleaning my old LandCruiser's bullbar... after enough plowing through obstacles the filth starts giving it character though, so not more cleaning

fo shizzle!

Yeah it's easier to go from silver to black than it is the other way around. I'll see how I like the silver over the next few days, and if a change is in need the black is only a spray can away.

took a few days to get around to getting the pics, but got there in the end. I had some old body filler laying around to fill in the blanks, but I don't think I prepped the surface very well for the 3M Carbonfibre vinyl to stick to very well, it's peeled away in those corners two days later...

Googling for the centre console dismantle & found this thread; thanks so much for and for the extra info provided that i'm sure to use too.

Looks the same as yours at the moment with those little tabs missing on the sides... I got a plan to spiff it up a bit & got some product coming in the next few days, will post pics once it's in its final incarnation.

God damn that mesh is a bitch to mold right to suit the surround! Took a while, a few bloody pokes in my skin, but got it done tonight, just waiting for the liquid nails to dry now.

Thanks for the input HCVP. Well the door skins aren't really hard to remove, so I'll save my coin in the first instance and see what improvements the deadening does for the fronts. (I did the rear deadening first because that was the most noticeable of rattles and vibrations, that parcel shelf...

Sorry, I guess I should've made that front stage aspect more prominent in my explanation of things; i.e. that first part of the "Swapsies" part. Yes I do think my front stage could do with some better (and louder) speakers, the current alpines are a too tinny for my liking, despite any...
