    VT-VX Fitting a LSD DIff, 3.07 or 3.46?

    G-day. Well basically I am sick of the old Commodore diff and its single-pegger shenanigans. So I am looking to upgrade to a LSD Diff, however I cannot afford an aftermarket unit and so was looking for a used stock one. When browsing it seems that the most common ratios are 3.07, 3.08 and 3.46...

    VT-VX Power antenna grommet removal?

    Thanks guys, mate of mine told me to just cut it out and get a replacement as apparently they are a bastard to remove. But I'll try to access it from the bottom first.

    VX Front suspension knocking/ Clunking after lowering and New Sway Bar Links.

    All fixed mate! Turns out I hadn't tightened up the sway bar links anywhere near enough! Apparently your'e supposed to use an allan key to hold it still while you tighten the nut around it or somethin' like that, haha. Anyways on the driver side the nut completely came off and the passenger side...

    VX Power steering struggling and groaning at low speeds

    I ended up getting a mechanic mate of mine to look at it, left it for him over the weekend. He found out that the pump was simply stuffed. He got me a new one and replaced it for the price of a carton of beers haha. Works awesome now, I can actually park again!

    VT-VX Power antenna grommet removal?

    Hey guys, I'm repainting my front guard in a few days time, I wanted to remove the little plastic grommet that surrounds the antenna itself. I want to do a proper job so instead of just masking around it I actually want to remove it. Question is, is it possible to remove this grommet without...

    VX Front suspension knocking/ Clunking after lowering and New Sway Bar Links.

    Im quite sure the springs are seated properly in the strut. I made sure of that. But I'll give that video a watch and see. The sway bar links are identical, however the car was jacked up when I tightened them. I'll take off the wheels tomorrow and take a look around. If not I'll get a mechanic...

    VX Power steering struggling and groaning at low speeds

    Hey guys, I have an issue with the power steering in my VX (Ecotec V6). It has gotten worse recently, basically when I'm not moving, the power steering is near dead, I essentially cannot move the wheels. WHen I'm travelling slowly (5kmh) it struggles, and is a pain to move. As you can...

    VX Front suspension knocking/ Clunking after lowering and New Sway Bar Links.

    Hey all, Recently I lowered the front of my car by about 45mm (rear 60mm) and also replaced the standard sway bar links with aftermarket 'S' shaped ones. After doing so I have realised a very loud and definite knock/ clunk every time I go over bumps. It almost sounds as if the suspension hangs...

    VT steering wheel options

    I've never seen an aftermarket sports one as you need to keep the airbag. I know on Ebay there are plenty of standard wheels but with different leather trims (different colours and designs etc.) other than that I know it is possible to fit a VY steering wheel (theres a write up for that)...

    [VR-VS] Install a catch can on a ecotec V6

    I'm considering doing this tomorrow to my VX, Just makin sure, so your saying its better if I thread and put a bolt in the upper PCV hole? The newer ecotecs have this hole just inside the TB and the air runs down a valley between the plenum and Manifold intake.

    Polishing intake runners?

    Are you leaving the runners rough or making em smooth? Im about to do similar stuff but I have no idea whether I only do the entry to the runners or actually smooth the whole inside of the runners??

    Question on Polishing inside of Plenum and Intake Manifold (Runners) on 3.8 Ecotec

    Don't think a cast block will rust. If the plenum doesn't after sanding it then the runners surely wont. And they are also protected by the lubrication, residues of whatever that oily stuff is. I've got some sanding bits and nylon brushes so I'll give that a crack, I'll probably use the wire...

    Question on Polishing inside of Plenum and Intake Manifold (Runners) on 3.8 Ecotec

    So I am planning to Polish the inside of my Plenum chamber and Intake manifold (Runners) on my 3.8L Ecotec engine. I am going to accomplish this with some wire wheel's (with extended shaft) and a rotary tool. My question is; when I go to do the inside of my runners, do I do the complete inside...

    V6 Ecotec Plenum Intake Polishing Question, Does Plenum condition matter?

    The plenum I got from the wreckers has O-ring type rubber gaskets. only thing is that its off a VT and mines a VX, apparently the lower inlet manifold casting is different?? I might have a crack at changing them to see if they fit since the fuel lines don't need to be disconnected. and yeah...

    V6 Ecotec Plenum Intake Polishing Question, Does Plenum condition matter?

    Hey Guys, So I was looking into properly polishing up my whole Plenum Intake. I've already got the cover polished up and now I want to do the Plenum itself. The question I have is does the the condition of the Plenum matter? I was going to properly sand and polish the inside and outside of...
