2006 VZ SS 6L Ute
Went and got my Diff checked out, turns out the sound is what the Diff does new, even though it's excessively loud. He showed me with all his gears how they tighten them, how they work with the spider gears and the shims, how new commodores don't have adjustable cups which is why it's so expensive to change them in the new ones etc.. Really good bloke.

He said I can pass his number around for people wanting diffs, I garentee this guy is great. We talked for like over an hour lol.

2006 VZ SS 6L Ute
Well wednesday I may be ordering 1.75Roller rockers (so i get upgraded pushrods, and also highest ratio with the cam).


Cam + throttle body + all the cam accessories + pushrods + valve springs + rockers etc all should be going in AROUND 29th August - 5th September. I hope! All depends if i can find a car to borrow :D

edit: I forgot my car had a power button, turned it on and i swear it gained like 5RWKW lol.

I totally agree with the blind spots in the VE's i would only own a Maloo or a clubby, when i bought my ute they also had a ve sv6 ute next to the vz i bought, it was only 5k more but the vz look better an not as chunky, i learnt to drive in my mums ve sv6, it was good poower wise but to chunky for me, i would rather have a vz, they look nicer an pretty much the same engines
