Apologies for being obtuse. The original tuner is a knob. I just want to find out the key he uses so I can either fix his tune, or detonate the engine. More than likely the latter.

Has anyone successfully unlocked any tuner locked ECUs and discovered the key that the tuner has used? I’m interested in compiling a list of tuner keys.

Yep, that's pretty much The Bro Code, except for a few words used differently.

Learners, or any slow movers on freeways are a major hinderance and can be quite dangerous. But having an elevated position above the line of traffic, we have more of an advantage than car drivers because we can see whats going on further away. A lot of the time we can anticipate the actions of...

For a truck driver, hey? Well I gotta say you're putting in as good an argument as any apprentice mechanic I know. For an apprentice mechanic, you should know that slamming the brakes on in a car that has shoddy tyres or suspension isn't always a good thing. And that's one of my main points...

Ring Holden with your engine number, they'll be able to tell you if it's the original that came with the car, or what it's out of originally. They'll probably ask you to quote the VIN aswell.

Barney Stinson has released a book, entitled "The Bro Code", it's a must read. It's also available in audio book form on torrentz.com

For the nerds/geeks, "I wish I were a DNA helicase, so I could unzip your genes." This one is an anti-pick up line, "Did you just fall from heaven? It must have hurt when you hit the ground, cos it's really made a mess of your face" For the ladies, touch a guys ear and say; "Your ears sure...

No worries man, no offence taken. It's all good. Trust me, I wouldn't mind being able to sit in 6th in the Monaro, eating up the k's like they're going out of fashion, but I don't have much faith in the general public's driving ability, nor the state of our road system. Which are the main...

Mr Holdfast, I wasn't actually at the helm at the time of the collision, the other driver I was two-up with was captain at the time. I was in the bunk, getting thrown around by the bumps, which makes me wonder, why would you WANT to do anymore than the speed limit on a road that is not...

I dunno about you guys, but I kinda dig the way Yank Cop Cars look. There's something about them, maybe it stems back to The Blues Brother's, with their Dodge Monaco with the big block 440 in it, with the cop brakes, the cop suspension, man I'd love to go out doing some big smokey burnouts in...

The Daihatsu suits you better.

I came across the Hay Plain in a Kenworth and we hit an emu at 105km/h, destroyed the bird, feathers and dust everywhere. What do you think would've happened if we had've been in car doing 130? I reckon I would've had my eyes pecked out of my head whilst waiting at the pearly gates for St Peter...

For new parts, genuine Holden at better prices than you'll get from Holden, call Oscar at Ozcar Parts in Smithfield. For second hand bits, I recommend giving Scotty at Smithfield Auto Wreckers a call, you can get him on 9725 3555, tell him Dave with the Monaro told you to call him, and he'll...

I had a similar problem. My Monaro gets a fair beating, so suffice to say, it's only a matter of time until something claps out. Usually it's just tyres, but I did go through 2 standard clutches in about 1 1/2 years. A Textralia Z-Grip soon fixed that, so armed my with my awesome new clutch...
