try rotating the output spline slightly

apart from whats been said the oxygen sensor could be the cause

the only way i know is to get an air compressor and a fitting to screw into the spark plug hole and let the pressure push the piston to the bottom (number 1 of course) then mark the harmonic balancer and turn it exactly 180 degrees you can then check its dtc buy firing up the compressor again...

cheers guys i am using the vp manifold etc anyway so that part wont be a drama i might even do a how to since the whole vp top on s1 vn thing comes up a bit

get a compression test done i expect you have a burnt valve this would explain the lack of power and the rough idle and easy way to figure out exactly wich is the problem is to rip the valve rovers off and romove the rockers and spark plugs then make an adapter to allow you to pressurise each...

the only things you can do are replace the hinge pins about $10 each door for both pins or you can adjust the striker so the door shuts closer if none of the above work then you have to get brutal and start bending things if this is the case the car has been in an accident and could make...

anyone else have any input?

cheers just what i wanted to hear i take it youve done it?

The titles slightly miss leading i currently have a s1 v6 with a burnt exhaust valve on cyl no 4 now ive purchased my self a complete top end off a low k vp so what i am wondering is if i take .020 off the heads (will cost me $55) and from what the machine shop says that wont cause me any...

i got easy 11lts in my s1 last month when i replaced it i remember cause i got 10 and had to go back to the shop for more

My experience with spools is 50/50 for and against spools do stress your suspension like a bitch and will cause you dramas in that department on the other hand you will never blow a spool ive taken out 3 axles and then spat some teeth out the housing but the spool went straight in the next diff...

The housing is fine to use its the actual diff center that must be an open wheeler to spool an lsd housing can take an open center and therefore can end up being spooled with an standard center

20 amps is more than enough i rekon one of your motors is on its way out pulling way too much current lower the fuse 5 amps at a time and test each side seperatly you will get to a stage where one will blow a fuse and the other wont i can drop all four of mine together without blowing a 20 amp...

honestly with the sorta money your lookin at id go NA but with an ls1 not the 304 would be very similar cost and power output as a charger or turbo setup and then you can always add a turbo or charger setup to the ls1 later :D

i got mine from sprint auto parts and from memory they were about $50 (i know harsh) Zuicider is right thow they are easy as to change just remove the calipers then slide off the drum (with the handbrake off) take out the two spring loaded retaining pins then the adjuster then the springs...

ive always used guitar strings to saw through the urethane in the same manner as hartsc said but once youve got all the way around the screen should lift out with no force needed providing youve cut around all the way you should be able to peel the old rubber out without breaking it and then...

I have to ask have you corrected the speedo since the gear change and if not are you going off the trip computer? Just seems a little too good to be true i have a vn v6 manual 3.89 diff gears and average 12.5/100 not being nice either before the gear change i was getting better economy too.

So no one has ever had an identification check at regency before?

Teir 2 vehicle inspection question (identification check) Hi i need to get a teir 2 vehicle inspection can anyone tell me exactly what they do? Im in adelaide any info would be very helpfull

My mate in his stock auto v6 with simply a spooled diff managed to blow the gear teeth through the housing..... how ever he did snap two axles (wich obviusly were replaced) before hand. saying that the lash couldnt have been to crash hot after the first couple of axles Dont take it that makes...

buy one you cheap skate ($25) id much rather buy you one and post it to you than scan hundreds of pages...................................

ive had this problem before and when i pulled the box apart the syncros were stuffed along with one of the gears

Smoke colour chart white = moisture blue = oil black = rich mixture most probably just condensation if it is just on initial startup if its all the time then its probably a cracked or warped head (presuming the gaskets are good as you suggest)

ok A: An airconditioner does not use gas and you do not have to re gas the aircon so long as the seals are all good and there is no moisture in the system. B: a 5kg C02 fire extinguisher will only last for 7 seconds and at around $120+ that makes expensive cooling especially since you cant...

$2.50 a pin i payed from motor traders the big hint of door pins being stuffed is if you can move the door up and down when open.

i think youll find (from memory) the stage 2 has no overlap but the stage three does so there would be no issue with a stage 2 cam or less and a blower

araldite will do the job well

just search for spool and you will find a million arguments about the pros and cons
