    VZ Fuel Gauge Problem

    due to so many posts on this subject i cant recall if this has been covered I have gone to the extent of pulling off the fuel tank cover and side panel to try and find the reason why the filling is so hard ( which is where i feel the majority of the problem is - that you just cant get enough...

    i would have to say you dont have to do wild mods to have a cool car i think keeping things simple is the best look - not much interest for the airbrushing or wild bling things for me

    no probs at all retail was $2600 fitted allround with NS2 nangs on them I paid $1000 neat as i also traded my factory 17's in on them ( i deal with these people all the time so a good deal was had and i did it the following morning after picking up car) as i said above mine are shadow chrome...

    question about lowering

    if they are a good name brand and reasonably priced ok watch out if they have been in a car for a while as you dont know how sagged they could be and you dont have warranty my opinion go new so you have something to fall back on - ie not what they told you as to height of car or if they sag in...

    question about lowering

    I lowered mine with lovells super lows cost around 180 pair for springs used original shocks ( mine being ss has fe2 already so kept original shocks) Fitted myself - took about 3 hours all up ( rear is piss easy but front a bit fiddly as you have to compress springs - used air tools so made...

    VY Ute air vents

    i have a vz and same deal-has air coming out back of the console would like to know if this is just because holden could not be bothered to change for the ute or if it serves some other purpose i find it just blows cold air straight towards the cabin vents which seems a waste

    Auto windows up on lock

    Auto headlights

    dont normally use the auto lights but tried it the other day and noticed it takes half a minute before the lights will turn on or same if you re-enter lighted area for them to turn off Probably so they dont false trigger in low light areas and shaded regions

    Ute axle tramp

    Could only find info from a while ago so thought i would share my experience Found with having 19's on the ute that continuous axle tramp ( take of from lights or going round corners mainly) that i was causing extra tyre wear and damaging the tyres as well as feeling like the back end was going...

    Question VZ Ute SS

    would have to agree that V8 option is best way to go if you like a bit of fun drive it hard and you will find as i do it can use fuel pretty hard but controlled driving isnt to bad i get on average around 14 l / 100 km driving to and from work each week - this is traffic driving with a squirt...

    Monaro cold air intake

    well have done the mod and wow you have to love that induction noise i havent noticed any real difference in power or loss of but feels a bit better in acceleration ( but that may be due to the excitment of it all) as i dont race my car its more about the sound than the times anyway Cost for...

    Monaro cold air intake

    I found on my ute same as yours that it does have the pipe which you are refering to that should be there i would say that someone has taken it off at some stage if you fit it you will lose the induction sound you have at present If you want to do the mcai you will have to go to holden and...

    SS 6speed clunky box

    Has it got the right fluid in it? Noticed on mine it uses auto trans fluid not normal gear oil which could cause this problem as well other thing to check would be the shifter itself-maybe to much play

    SS Economy

    would have to say cant see myself how sitting on the freeway with higher revs like 5th would give better fuel economy.i have found 6th to cruise really well -freeway only- but have to go back to 5th on hills to keep the good rev range without labouring it-possibly where it makes the difference...

    will these wheels fit?

    sorry for the delay but being that i didn't know i went and saw my local tyre supplier and asked him- not that it makes alot of sense to me apart from the fact that they fit my vehicle He told me commodores have a 45mm offset( not sure if this is what he ment and how it was supposed to be...

    Maximising your Modification dollar....

    Just got to ask have you tried them to give that sort of answer i have had one fitted to my ute and am getting around 50km more per tank than before so in my case they are worth the money ( only fitted one so far)

    will these wheels fit?

    i suppose it depends on how far you intend to lower it i have 19 x 8 on my ute and when lowered they just fit under the guard without scrubbing ( a mate has 8 1/2 wide and he needed to have his guards rolled) i would guess they would be close to sitting outside the guard so you wouldnt be able...
