    Bypass Auto Power Window Down (BCM) function

    Hi, As you can probably gather from the title, my auto power down on my BCM (mid 210) has **** itself, so i am either forced to tap the down window switch 50 times to lower the window, or hold the switch until the auto window timer times out and begins working, each time. What i want to do is...

    Enter engineering mode and check your serial

    Agreed. It is very valuable information. Perhaps the attitude is coming from people who get a shock when they try this method on their car and realise that the kms showing in their odometer are fake?

    Enter engineering mode and check your serial

    To find out how many VY's actually are showing the TRUE kms travelled on their clock :)

    Enter engineering mode and check your serial

    Nobody else can check this on their VY?

    Enter engineering mode and check your serial

    I've checked two different VY's.. They don't match. According to holden, they should match, otherwise it could indicate a cluster change at some point.

    Enter engineering mode and check your serial

    Hold mode and set together, then turn the key to the aux position and the LCD will display a serial number. Check that the last 6 numbers of the serial number match the last 6 numbers of your vin number. Do they match? Post your results!

    400 kw vy ss

    So your telling me that a basic 6cyl skyline can push 400KW with under $20,000 worth of mods, but the LS1 will require a hell of alot more of money just to achieve the same power? Thats a poor effort from the Chev motor there i must say. And im not really going to do something like this...

    Maintaining the finish of a freshly waxed car? (especially black)

    Gonna look into dying the stitching black.. anyone know of a good leather detailer around the western suburbs of Melbourne? Might as well get the leather seats conditioned so they appear soft again, as they have become very rough lately..

By the third day or so, it looks completely covered with...
