    Which Brand 5 Litre O2 Sensor ?

    Wow thats bloody expensive. Would be cheaper to get it from sprints etc from here and get them to ship it to u. I think im running lukey extractors from memory which are fairly similar to pacemakers.

    Which Brand 5 Litre O2 Sensor ?

    It sure is the part number for the long o2 sensor as i only recently needed to replace mine and used it to get one from sprints as they had one in stock. It cost me around the 80 mark from memory.

    Which Brand 5 Litre O2 Sensor ?

    I have seen them on ebay on occasion. Try giving a couple of shops a call or try messaging guys that sell others on ebay and see if they can get the 2 wire ones for u if u find any let me know as i wouldn't mind getting one. Could even try an auto elec and see if they can make one up. I...

    Which Brand 5 Litre O2 Sensor ?

    Ide probably goto the wreckers and cut the plugs off a loom and sensor and make an extension cable if u know what i mean. As some looms are a nightmare to solder. Or just buy an extension cable. I thought that site was meant to sell long cables not short ones like the ngk sensors.

    vs v8 Thermostat

    I've got a trident 180f but pretty sure it's not sealing properly as it takes about 15 mins to reach operating temp of 180f.

    vs v8 Thermostat

    Hi im just wondering does anyone know if you can get a genuine holden Thermostat that is 180f to fit a 96 vs v8 5L as I asked at spare parts Southgate holden and the guy recons he doesn't have a temperature listing. Im not sure if he was just too lazy or they don't have temp listings. If...

    Oil sender fitting

    is there any reason u want to run both. i just pulled out the factory one and put the autometer one in its place, got a tee but it was the wrong one so gave up with that idea and just did it, the ecu doesnt need it and if the gauge is in eyesight u will see it and also hear if its not getting...

    304/355 running temp

    just a thought is there any chance u can put another thermo on the other side of the rad? also a bonnet scoop may help to let some air out when doing burnouts too. even wrapping the exhaust headers in heat tape. also does it have an engine oil cooler on it as that could help cool it...

    304 oil pressure. whats a normal pressure?

    i use penrite hpr15 on my electric sender autometer gauge when idling mine sits around 25psi, cruising sits around 50psi and goes up to about 75psi when i sink the boot into the pedal. all figures are rough as they vary slightly depending what the revs are. ive got a standard vs v8 lsd i...

    vs v8 lukey extractors

    ok thanks mate great to hear! hopefully ill be able to do the same with these lukeys. i know the pace makers are meant to be better, but with a stock motor with exhaust and cai im guessing they wouldnt be much different?

    where to go Adelaide

    vt brake master

    ok cool well that doesnt happen luckily. i do however hear a air noise when i push the brake pedal down but mainly when i push hard and fast, im guessing it could be normal for the plastic vs boosters tho?

    vt brake master

    how do u know if u have lost the reaction disk in the booster? i have not done it yet but dont know if anyone else has stuffed around with it in the past. i may grab a spare booster from the wreckers so i can fit the master first so i can get everything lined up then put it in the car.

    vt brake master

    ok thanks for the info. when i got the vt master from the wreckers i fitted it to a vs booster but removed the bolt in the booster first but it seemed to still be about 1mm too long, did u have to cut the hollow part that the screw goes into the pin in the booster to get it flush or the 1mm...

    vs v8 sedan with abs

    the guys at abs must not know what they were talking about as they said it had a 1" but i had a look at the wreckers and mines exactly the same as the v6's hence why i got a vt one. cheers

    vt brake master

    thanks i had already seen that page. it wont be too long until i upgrade the rotors. im guessing it will just make the standard brakes work harder in the mean time. cheers
