    VE seats into a VY

    Screw the clips, for less than $1, some cable ties, drill another hole thru where the clips go into the back and run the ties thru, pull them tight and clip them back, worked a treat for me. Holds proper and you don't see them at all

    Custom Power Antenna Buttons

    You reckon that's a thread dig Nath! Haha sorry boys, I've got a similar issue, but I want to take the solution a step further; I've recently acquired a VZ Ute and an after market head unit, so I was wondering if I could wire separate antenna control into a sedan window control unit, having...

    My 1999 Botanica VT Berlina

    Seeings as I accidentally snapped the jammed armrest in the boot access hatch, I figured I'd pull out the whole thing and get a custom sub box. Building a box around a Rockford Fosgate R2SD4 10" slim sub, box is roughly 60% complete, most of its glued up now. So many damned triangles to figure...

    Backseat subwoofer box

    Just wondering if anyone has made up a box to replace the boot access hatch in the backseat of a VT? If its been done before I'd love to see how it's been done. Having an LPG tank in the boot, I've limited space, and since I removed the boot access hatch (because someone snapped the armrest in...

    It's been ages since I've visited JC so here's a quick update! Army didn't like me because I didn't have enough life experience, got myself an apprenticeship with a carpenter so I now have somewhat of a cash flow. Bought myself a Pioneer DEH-X3550UI head unit for $150 from JB-HiFi, it's got...

    VY Arial Clicking

    Temporary fix is to retract the aerial a few inches from fully extended, the motor shouldn't try to extend beyond that, therefore not click :) Sent from my ancient iPhone 3GS using Tapatalk

    Anything earlier than VY will look silly IMO with DIYDLR. My mate did it to his VT - and Lol's were had :P I wouldn't give two *hits if I had something that looked good and everyone else had it too, only one of my car in my driveway :spot on:

    I like my club music, what can I say! I went to a local wrecker, set me back 30 bucks for adjustable intermittent and cruise control stalks, but if they're not that much more for brand new, I'd defs go brand new - and btw, you've gotta crimp the wires for the new stalks as they have different...

    I've always thought VT look better without spoilers - while observing the back end pic, after 2 minutes I noticed that crack in your garnish :P I recommend getting some VXII-VZ wiper/indicator stalks, they're so much nicer :) I did mine a while back and haven't regretted it

    01 vx series II sedan (little bit diffrent)

    Black on white is nice, the front end looks sick! :) I reckon get some white LED parkers to match the angel eyes :P And tint the reflectors to match the taillights - unless tinted reflectors are defectable, then disregard this last line

    Stereotypes - What car's have you had the most issues with on the road.

    The white ones your thinking of are HID (high intensity discharge) globes, which can defect your car, I hate those too. You can get true white halogen (traditional) globes that aren't as bright :) Sent from my ancient iPhone 3GS using Tapatalk

    Whistling/whirring phantom turbo sound

    I get this very faint whistling/whirring sound while accelerating from 40-80 @2500-4500rpm under certain conditions, (last I heard it was cold and wet at 2am), i feel stupid saying it kinda sounds like a turbo, but i'm PRETTY sure theres no turbo under the hood :P Could it be an exhaust leak...
