    Lifting PB's

    Age: 20 Height: 180cm Weight: 79kg Bench: 90kg Squat: 140kg 1rm Deadlift: ~140kg I have benched over 100kg, however since cutting it has dropped a bit. Squats were when I was bulking also so my max is around 6x120kg at the moment depending on the day. I haven't really seen what my max deadlift...

    Where are common aircon leak areas?

    If its got no gas in it the compressor shouldn't engage, as the pressure switch shouldn't let it

    Can you sand metallic acrylic before clear coat?

    Thanks for the help fella's. I ended up wet sanding it back with 800 the next morning, and I just had enough paint to blow 2 more coats over it (it had to be done that day so I could drive home, and paint shop was shut so I couldn't get any more mixed up). It came out a lot better, I got those...

    Can you sand metallic acrylic before clear coat?

    Can the primer be too dry? Ah okay, thats usually what I do, but didn't this time, I didn't think it would make a massive difference. Yeah I might have to re do the silver when I can get some more I think. It was thinned approximately half and half, maybe a little it more thinners. it was in...

    Can you sand metallic acrylic before clear coat?

    Hey guys, today I painted my bonnet, front bar and spoiler, and they didn't come out quite as good as some other things I have done. I think it was the way the gun was set up, because the only thing I did differently to the other times was I didn't sand the primer, and I wouldn't think that...

    When t's Time I's Time

    I'm so sorry to hear mate. You helped me a little while ago with both a body loom swap and making the level 3 cluster loom, 2 of the bet mods I ever did to my VS. That is one of the best parts about the internet, people that you've never met that are willing to help you even when they have no...

    Has anyone ever painted the quater glass windows?.

    I did mine when I still had my VS.. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vr-vs/187967-my-vs-acclaim-4.html Pretty quick and easy and came up great. Can't remember the exact process, but something like mask all the glass of with paper and masking tape, give the rubber a sand with fairly rough sand...

    VR Statesman L3 Dash Loom in VS Berlina

    Ah well there ya go, didn't know that. Seems strange to me haha. I dunno about the fog light loom then, probably just as easy to install them on their own stand alone circuit rather then try and incorporate it into the factory one

    VR Statesman L3 Dash Loom in VS Berlina

    Oh really, are you sure? I would have thought yours did.. Mine was only a VS Acclaim series 1 and it had the wiring and the terminals for the relay, so all I had to do was I think was put a fuse in, plug a relay in, and graft my switch in and it was all good.

    VR Statesman L3 Dash Loom in VS Berlina

    I know the fog light switch can be grafted in to work with the factory relay and wiring which should already be in your car, I did it with my Acclaim, but I don't have the circuit diagram anymore sorry haha, someone else may be able to help you there though. The plug and switch are exactly the...

    VR Statesman L3 Dash Loom in VS Berlina

    I reckon the easiest, cheapest and quickest way would be just to add in the three wires or whatever the clock has to your Berlina loom. I'm pretty sure its just a constant +, - and an illumination. You would gain nothing from the statesman loom (except maybe security light, and possibly foglight...

    VT COOLANT PUDDLE ! When the Car is cooling - overnight - Anyone solve it ?

    It's not just water from your aircon is it? Haha

    Apple's CarPlay to own the interface from this year

    Would the VF and/or VE series 2 be able to get this through a firmware update or something? A bit shitty if they can't, considering all the hype Holden put behind IQ and MyLink, it would just put them behind all the manufacturers that do decide to include it..

    VS Clubby starting issues.

    The ECU and BCM on VS's aren't linked so you can try that different computer. It's from VT onwards they're linked.

    VS Clubby starting issues.

    Check your EFI relay clicks when you turn the ignition on. If it doesn't make sure the ground wire is grounded properly and done up real tight. Its in the drivers kick panel just near the ABS module

    Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25T

    If you mean a groaning kind of noise mine does the exact same thing. Thought it was the thrust bearing but that would be when the clutch is fully depressed. Doesn't seem to affect my clutch at all though

    Vy Dash Conversion but no go :(

    When I did a body loom conversion in the VS I had the same problem. Turned out to be the earth wire for the EFI relay wasn't grounded properly. When you turn the ignition on get someone to hold onto the EFI relay and make sure it is engaging. The wire was just to the right of the accelerator...

    Hmm interesting answers. I can't tell you how it turned out, I ended up selling it pretty cheap because of it haha

    Stereo System Effects How Engine Runs.

    I'm no electrician, so maybe someone else could confirm this. But maybe a capacitor if you don't feel like running dual batteries?

    Nice man, Very similar to mine! I came from a VS as well, haven't really looked back apart from space issues lol

    My VS Acclaim

    Haha, how bout that! I like the third picture best ;) In other news I got it all back together and working absolutely perfectly. Drove it about 2000K's just running around, it didn't miss a beat. Said good bye to it tonight, went to a mate who had wanted it for a while, pretty sad to see it...

    Best home theatre ~$1000-$1500

    I've got the 7.2 muteki also... It's loud, clear and really good sound (in my opinion), but probably lacking some of the features in the receiver compared to the Harmon kardon. It's just a bare bones kind of receiver. And yeah, can be found for well under $1000 now

    noise in front of motor

    +1 for harmonic balancer. Mine was real bad on my ecotec and it sound like a really metallic clunky noise

    VS - Starter Motor Manual/Auto Same?

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure auto starter is the same as the getrag starter. But t5 is different. With my auto I had to take the drivers side extractor off just to get to one bolt to remove the inspection cover to then remove the starter, but I think that was just due to...

    Carbon fiber effect

    Apparently thats how factory wood grain is done also, I looked into it last week when I bought a custom playstation controller which is done in the same way. It must be pretty tough if it can last on a game controller, considering how much you are in contact with them :P www.evilcontrollers.com

    My VS Acclaim

    Soo my cars about 95% complete, maybe even going to register it tomorrow. Only thing holding me back is for some reason its suddenly not charging, but I don't think it would be that big a deal, and if its the alternator they're still easy as to come by. Also only tonight its just started doing a...

    VS Acclaim II

    Thats how they work. Whenever they can control the windows, they will be lit up. They will only go out like you said, once you lock the doors, or after 30 seconds after turning ignition off. Its not dependant on the headlights at all

    R33 Airconditioning not working

    VS Acclaim II

    Now worries, hopefully it all works out haha I've got a push buttons tart in my car, it's fun for the first week, then it just becomes too much work having to move your hand :P its good to show off to people though haha. Also with the power window switches you can just swap the wires around to...

    RACV Roadside Assist A Rip Off

    Don't know about RACV, but I'm with the RAA in SA and I think it depends on the bloke you get. Once in my mates car and the key wouldn't turn, he came out, ripped the car half apart and got it going again for us. Second time a mates car just stopped, he came out found out the coil packs had gone...

    R33 Airconditioning not working

    Funny you say that, mine does it, but I thought it was for the head/feet control? Dunno, I was planning on fixing it tomorrow using this Diy Fix Cluncking Noise In Dash R33's - Page 3 - Tutorials / DIY / FAQ - Skylines Australia anyway. Apparently mine you can get to it without taking the dash...

    R33 Airconditioning not working

    Hey, I recently bought a R33 Skyline in which the air con doesn't work. The bloke told me it just needed a re-gas because they never put the gas back in when they rebuilt the motor. We hooked up some gauges and turns out it has heaps of gas, but this is where I get lost. With the AC on, the...

    My VS Acclaim

    So do I man.. Will be sad to see it go. Hmm maybe.... Never thought I'd own anything other than a commy.. but here we are lol. Its had a rebuild with forged pistons, new bearings, new clutch and a few other things, but pretty standard in terms of turbo's, tuning, intercoolers and all that...

    My VS Acclaim

    Good and bad news. Car is almost all back together, repainting dash and a few other parts tomorrow, then its just a matter of giving the seats a good clean and putting them and the dash back in and its all go. Bad news is I really needed another car, and I thought since I now have my full...
