Also, to confirm, they are a staggered set of redline wheels. 8.5 front and 9.0 rears

A scan showed it has a fault code C0899 which a google search shows as (C0899 power Supply Circuit Low Voltage)

Hey team 07 WM Caprice 6.0L I'm on a mission to solve a ESP stabilitrak issue that has been a problem for me for a few years. The issue is it thinks the car is in a slide in the corners when it isn't and takes over, braking etc. This has only started when I fitted redline 19" wheels, I fitted...

No, I just went to a hydraulics business with the sender unit and told them what I wanted and they got one that suits

What was the outcome? I've found this thread googling because I'm having the exact same issue. New 275/35/19 tyres on the rear and instantly the stability control freaks out around bends. Was fine with the old tyres, I put factory wheels back on and problem goes away. Different new 275/35/19 and...

Cheers lout, we need all the help we can get with the modern technology. Before this I've owned most of the models from VC to VN so working on this thing is a learning curve haha. So it seems the two faults, voltage and abs were unrelated just happened at the same time

the ABS/TC and historical maximum voltage codes didn't go away. This arvo i went on a fault finding mission and narrowed it down to signal not getting through ones of the wires that go to the LH rear abs speed sensor. Turns out one wire was broken, the other wire was damaged in the same spot and...

Thanks very much

Hey team Anyone know what rear APO stands for? Found a blown fuse and unsure what wasn't operating

Thanks bud, hope that's the case. It's a little annoying, didn't realize how much I used the traction control until it doesn't operate haha

The ZUS doesn't give me an option to clear the historic codes, only the abs/traction ones unfortunately. Not sure if that'd be different with a different scan tool

While running the battery tested at 14.4v so it seems spot on

Hey Team I have a WM L98 throwing this "N0103 Maximum Historical Voltage Below Threshold" fault. After checking the battery volatge and finding it under 12v, the battery was tested and confirmed to be faulty and replaced. the fault presented in car as an ABS & traction control fault but when i...

Thanks. You fit a 3" or smaller?

Hey team. I've just purchased a mechanically standard WM caprice 6L. Previous owner has had the rear mufflers removed and replaced with straight pipes. I like the sound of it but there is a hideous drone around 1800rpm. All other rev ranges are good so i'd like to have it louder than standard...

i assume this info is aimed at me? my response assuming that is the case: you may be correct in the info you have produced for australia but seeing as this is a NZ car you are far from correct. NZ police order their cars to a different spec than the aussie one and we don't have v8 police cars...

cool thanks but I know it is. the old man bought it new, there were 40 of them in the yard which i saw with my own eyes. It still has the steel skid plate under the sump, and done about 100K now

i flushed mine today. I removed the pipes off the pump and drained the fluid from it into a container. I refitted the sender pipe (metal pipe screw fitted into pump) back onto the pump and put the return line into an empty milk bottle. With the front of the car raised, if you turn the wheels...

Hey Team I have a VX booster and master with AU reservoir and will make the adapting bracket to bolt them up. Only trouble i'm having is getting the correct adaptor for the VN brake lines to VX master. Can anyone give me part numbers, thread size and pitch of either end or any info or options...

yeah, all either bridgestone or firestone 16"

it wore evenly across the entire tyre, no edge wear just wore out significantly faster than the other rear tyre.

thanks for that, it had a alignment with it's new tyres and was sweet so bushes may be what it is.

Hey Team My old man has a Exec VYII that was built as a police car for here in NZ. He bought it brand new as the govt sold off a bunch of new cars they didn't require but anyway..... I has FE2 suspension, v8 brakes and a LSD factory fitted. He has noticed the left rear has worn significantly...

hey Dave yeah i didn't think the VN's had different ratio except for the GrpA but i'm not totally sure. I have a 3.45 gears in the SS, same as the GrpA :) can you pm me your number? I lost it. Wouldn't mind getting a couple more bits off your calais.

sounds like a mechanical issue, either crown wheel/pinion or lsd if it has one. My VN SS used to "clunk" when putting into gear but i had the LSD replaced and now it's smooth and quiet and gear changes are smoother as well.

that suits it very well, great job

lowered and 235 scraping, either a ute thing or maybe it needs an adjustable panhard rod if it doesn't have one?

there's always heaps of room in the rear, it's the front that gives problems due to the spring seat so lowering makes no difference to fitting them, just how the tyres interact with the guards on the front. mine has super lows.

what wheels/offset? I was running 255/40/17 all round without scrub. The left rear would occasionally rub the inside but i only knew when i removed the rear wheels and saw the scuff

i have 19's on my VN and as far as i'm aware you can only run 235/35/19 on the front without spacers. 245/35/19 are a little taller and will rub on the spring seat or if not be so close they will while driving. I have seen pics of people massaging some extra clearance on the spring seat with a...

nice progress, good on you

i don't know about NOTHING special, it tractions, handles and stops way better so that is most of it haha. I spent about $6k doing all that to my VN SS so that's a nice bonus especially as he bought it new for $30k

haha i knew someone would say that. I saw all 52 cars in a lot that were purchased from the NZ Govt. They were part of an order of 400 front line cars but the Police only took 348 cars so the rest were tendered for sale and my local Holden dealer bought the lot. They have FE2, V8 brakes and LSD...

so i finally got a pic of the build plate on the VYII

thanks. i only have a v8 level two tacho so can't compare.

Thanks for that but level three is totally different gear to level one and two and they don't interchange

i thought i had seen a thread on this and have been googling it but cannot locate it. I'd like to know how how to convert a level 2 tacho from v8 to v6. I have upgraded my VN SS from level 2 to level 3 no problems but the level two dash i removed i'd like to put into a VP v6 that has...

i started using the mequiars one recently after using armourall for years and it's way better. better shine once complete.

nah but they are actual vr/vs items so have the flat outer lip and rounded front where they meet the doors

nah it's stuck with me, no one wanted it and now i probably wouldn't part with it haha. it's a very different car now. stroking, nah I don't recall considering that, may have but don't think so. if i want serious hp i'll more likely turbo than stroke but that's not on the horizon at the moment.
