Write Off. I've owned this ute since 2010. It got rear ended late 2016 and is classified as a write off. You can see there is damage to the rear panels. The gearbox is also 'stuck' in third (I think) gear. The shifter moves loosely through the box, so it could just be a linkage, I'm not sure...

I'm looking at getting a small (roughly 300mm x 150mm) sticker for both the back of my VZ ute (on the tailgate) and on the back of the girlfriends Cruze (between the sensors on the rear bumper). Basically I just need a logo + text, single colour (though, I want a specific font etc), so I've...

I used this guide to replace my front pads this morning. First ones took me about 45mins as I didn't know what I was doing - the second set took me about 10 mins. Just to add to the guide: Someone in this thread mentioned to undo the bottom bin and then swing the calliper up. I did this and it...

Hey dudes, This happened to my ute while i was at work: DESCRIPTION: Wanted To Buy ITEM: VZ drivers side window glass, preferably tinted LOCATION: West Melbourne, Victoria CONDITION: new/used DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: There's one on ebay, $120ish all up inc...

sorry to post the image links, but i was busting to see the images and got the proper links (just edit them in your first post) http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1967/finishedl.jpg http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/9169/anotherfrontangle.jpg...

I'm not sure what you're asking? I don't know what a "VZ SS Z" gauge pod is? I was going to assume you meant "S" but there were no gauge pods in S model VZ's.

these ones are awesome: I'd have them on my ute if i could find them, better yet, i'd go the adv1 genuine versions if i had a gold mine, haha. Sorry for the random post in your thread, i love (both of yours) these utes. You have both done a great job at making them look sweet.

I second this. I have a fair idea on how to do it, I'd just like to see an example of someone elses! I was going to do it with a magnesium switch...until i figured out they're illegal.

I do have the same respect for cyclists and motorists. It infuriates me when someone is driving at 50km/h in a 60km/h zone, i don't tailgate but it does annoy me. It pisses me off when cars swerve into my lane a little bit, i hate the thought of getting side swiped by a vehicle. When i see...

I think i'm going to attempt this in a few months (after i move etc.) if no one has done a write up by then i'll attempt one if all goes as planned.

Probably a pain, but just split them up (through windows explorer/finder in actual folders), load the first set (clean of the defaults) and then append each set after. Since you can see up to L i think you'd only have to split it three times.

You'd have to be a fool to break the law when there are cars around anyway, especially when it's VE's and **** on your coat tail. (it was just a general sort of comment, i guess).

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but (in QLD) all cop cars are registered in October, so the rego sticker has a 10 on it. I was told this by a mate and all cop marked and unmarked cars i see have been registered in October - not sure if it's true or not to any more of a degree...

When i was on my P's i had to go on "good behaviour" because i was driving without P plates (granted i was 300m from home and about 1km from the shop, needed to buy new ones). I copped it on the chin, i broke the law etc. and wasn't able to drive 11-5 every night. It wasn't that bad, i can...

Isn't there a clause (well, not really, just a great lawyer and lucky case) something about getting caught twice or more in the same spot at the same speed within a tight timeframe? You can argue that your speedometer was out. It's happened to more than one of my mates, however they were caught...

Thanks man, i'll let you know!

Thanks for the info sixes - good to hear they're value for money. I think i'll just save up that extra two weeks and buy a pair. Did you wire them up yourself? I'm probably going to but just wanting to know if it's a lot of effort (running the OBD2 wire etc.). And what do they look like at...

Someone smashed into my mirror and i wanted to swap the back cover onto another mirror, i had no luck. Even on the spare, i tried to unclip it (using force because i didn't mind if it broke) and never managed. I'm still under the assumption that it's clipped, but impossible to remove. I had no...

Thanks for all of the info RE OBD2 and brakes. I'll look into the brakes in a little more detail when i'm ready, but you've given me a good starting point. I spent a while looking myself, and couldn't find other 52mm OBD2 gauges - i doubt any others are around (at that sort of price). Most of...

This might be a silly question, but why are you looking at VY SS wagons when you can afford a VE SS wagon? Granted you mentioned models with AFM being a bit of a pain, there are others out there. Just wondering why you'd look at something ~6 years older if you've got the money to buy the currnet...

How much are you offering?

When i was around 9, i think, we used to spend weekends at Grandmas. Every weekend we'd take some lollies and ****, like everyone does. Wizz Fizz was a favourite, and at the time they had a 'golden spoon' promotion running. If you found that golden spoon / shovel it was an instant $10, 000. I...

I feel sorry for the guy/girl that gets pulled over by him. As soon as he puts on the red and blue i'm assuming he'll put on his driving lights, they probably wouldn't even notice the coppers didn't have them on at all to begin with. Sneaky.

After just finishing paying off my ute, now i'm considering which modification will come first (and while chances are high being the brakes as the disks need machining anyway... i'm testing the waters). I know there are threads on this, but it's moreso a gauge combination i guess. I have a VZ...

Last night (midnight) on the drive home a pair of coppers in a unmarked ss were sitting in one of their normal spots, i cruise by at 55 in a 60 zone and have a good look at the car. Was talking to a mate as i was driving home and about 30 seconds later i look behind me and i see it following me...

I'm not sure what the NSW laws are, but in QLD (as far as i'm aware, i may be wrong) - loss of license is 40km/h over the limit. If i was certain i was doing only 30km/h over and the copper was going for loss of license (40km/h over) i'd fight it in court. I'd happily admit i was being stupid...

I think 'pranking' is being used in the 'call and let it ring twice and then hang up so the person can call you back' context here? If it's being used in the 'can i have 500 pizzas to my ex's house thanks mate' i have no sympathy.

Eye for an eye, though, right? The bus drivers who just pull out even when you're halfway past the bus. I give way correctly in all situations but mate, i can hardly see your indicator (that you just put on as you pull out) and now i'm just supposed to stop and let you go in front? That...

Props for taking many photos, but does your camera only work at night time outside the car?

I know it's probably not the best scheme - but it's given me benefit which is nice. For the past 2 years(ish) i've been working as a freelancer (web design), but under a company image (to try and provide some more professionalism, i guess). My first few jobs, in fact it was nearly all my jobs up...

I think if you have climate control the harness for the gauges is in the dash section by default, so it's more or less a plug-and-play situation. If you have the manual aircon you have to wire up the gauges; easy for volt gauges and things but it can be harder if you need something like an...
