Erik's 6L VZ SS

Maybe extra labour on top of the other stuff?
Most places are what? $90 an hour now.

I've only heard good about difftechnics. If the gears he put in are no good. Then there's little chance they would've known. Unless they were visibly faulty.

Hopefully they are fixing it up for free now though.

Lol prop shaft is on a boat. That's a tailshaft. Well that explains the price.

Update update update: got my diff gears done, went from 3.4.6 to 3.9. Pretty happy with the extra pull, but had to bring the car back two days later as the diff started whining A LOT. The same sound my old diff made before it crapped itself. Anyway the guy at Difftechnics is getting in new gears for the diff. Not happy seeing i forked out 2870 for the job. Anyone know why a diff starts whining? Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't reconditioned diff gears meant to be like new?

Also these arrived today:

So I guess I am going to be busy this weekend! Started already actually, and after 6 years the spark plug cables have been fried. Got about 3 of the 8 off intact. The others pretty much disintegrated. Hope I can get them at SuperCheap Auto tomorrow. Hope the spark plugs are ok.

Can't wait to get the job done!!

Yeah took longer than that for me. Turns out that the 6 litre engines have a different exhaust set up so I had to make a home made oxy sensor loom. I used high heat resistant wire but I want to get this changed. Also had to unbolt the steering rack and drop it down to have enough room to get these bad boys in.

But wow!!!! The power difference!!!! Loose traction on just a little squirt

Had the battery out for a few hours and now I have the SRS warning come on every time I start up. Anyone know why and how to get rid of it???

Also I am selling my 3" stainless steel X Force cat back soon. With the extractors it is too loud. Am thinking going with a 2.5" Manta -- Jesterarts has one and says it is great. Without extractors and hi flow cats the 3" X Force sounds tough as. Still does but too loud now.

Also gotta say a massive thank you to SouthWest Pacific exhaust for the headers, cats and advice!!!

You can get extension harnesses off eBay - that's what I did. Don't bother with the rear sensors though as usually they're turned off in a tune anyway.

Have a L76 engine.

Sheared off the front right exhaust manifold bolt at block level. Bad. But not as bad as now:

Tried drilling it out and because of the angle, drilled into the coolant gallery. Result: coolant is pissing out of the drill hole in the bolt stuck in the cylinder head.

Exhaust is steamy. Coolant's getting in.

Can stuff get worse???? Anyone got any suggestions? I know that the cylinder head is a pretty technical thing to talk about. Thought I'd give it a shot.

Sorry for the bad news
