So I'm needing some ideas. Bought a vt calais a couple months ago and it's been an absolute slug since day 1. It needed alot of loving when I first got it. Ran like crap. Was on gas but didn't run on gas. So far I've done the following. Pulled out all the gas Pacemaker extractors with...

Hi rjk, I've gone with option 2, traveled half way cross the country and payed an arm and a leg but finally found a T5 manual PCM and loom, everything was plug and play, went to start it and no bingo, just wouldn't fire, my mate bought around his PCM out of his VR with an ecotec in it and said...

So I've put an ecojet into my factory manual vr exec, while using the T5 and manual Buick loom and computer, did some reading up, made all the necessary mods to the loom to suit the jet, after weeks, I finally started it, fired up no worries, but is running rough as guts, revs won't drop below...

So ive been looking around the forums and gone through numerous threads about manual conversions. But cant quite find anything to relate to what im trying to do, have asked numerous people who have a rough idea but hearing different things from different people. So ive got a vr with T5. Ive...

Just bought a vx berlina ls1. Bloke says auto needs attention. I was assuming 2nd or reverse is gone since they very regularly go on the ls1's But this is a weird one i cant find any answers to. It has all gears. But when going from 1st to second. You have to rev it out to like 5000rmp, let...

didnt replace feul filter, will look into TPS, should i just replace the TB or? what is oil pressure supposed to be at?

i know what sort of power it should have guys, good spark, good air, good feul, and i could litterally run faster than it for the first 10 meters, this is not that its a heavier statesman, its not that it has no real performance work done, picture having your breaks on 50% and trying to take...

fair call mate, not expecting it to be a race car, ive done the same mods to many others and adds a very noticable increase to the car. im saying if anything, it has decreased power, by alot, there is no pull at all, so something is wrong, ive tryed taking everything off and back to stock with...

$32 and that's not the one I was after, still think I won with $10 second hand or not, don't see them being something I'll have to replace every 5000k

Hey guys, sorry left the thread hanging so long, tryed changing back and front wheels around and no difference, pads do get hot after a short drive but not untouchable, I had another look at power steering before and noticed it had dropped a little bit, Had a 30 degree day today and it got...

$15 new :S looked on eBay and they selling them for $50, and read I another thread that Holden are doing them for $50 for parts and $100 for labour, either way I was happy with $10. I got it all sorted though, absolute ba**ard of a job to do, unless you take all the fuse box, air vents and...

ok so i scored one from the wreckers for $10 :) i know what you mean with the 4 plug/ 2 plug and im pretty sure i ave both. i have the little white button sort of thing with 2 wires then next to that on a seperate switch is a 4 wired one, so i should be fine just not touching the 4 wired one?

Ok I found the switch, wouldn't have a clue how to take it off lol, it's smack dead in the middle of everything so I can't get my hand in there, whereas the cheapest I would be able to pick one up?

It gets worse the more the wheels are turned, at full lock the car is propyl pushing 30kwrw but even just tight cornering I can feel the power is being restricted

power stearing pump looks fine, fluid is good, slight leak out one of the hoses and im not sure how to check the fuel pump or pickup for faults this is only when the engine is warm, i think it is starting to happen when taking off straight now too. its kinda annoying, pulling out of an...

Hmmm. I admit I really don't know much about cars, but I do know how to connect a battery correctly, I have a feeling it has something to do with the security stuff in the car. When the battery is connected, it nearly looks like an alarm is trying to go off, if that was the case, that's why I...
