Hey. Anyone tell me what offset, if any. would be needed for a set of mags on a HZ Kingswood sedan? A pair of 8in x 15in alloy rims have come up for sale and the guy recons they have a 4.5 in backspace which appears to work out to zero offset. If these work out will then find a set of 7 x 15s...

Yeah, should do that but I have to say they never inspired confidence as they mentioned another tonner diff they did with 4.11s which they couldnt get quiet. I love those 3.73 gears. Tonner is much nicer to drive with them and overdrive is still decent. Just wish I had no noise issues. Let us...

Hey all. I rebuilt my M86 one tonner diff about six months back. Replaced every bearing (timken), new true trac centre and a new set of Dana 3.73 gears. Also took it down to a reputable diff shop to have everything checked and set up. Problem is its had a decel whine from the first drive...

Hi all. Thought I would post what we found regards a pinging supercharged V6 in the hope that it may help others with similar issues. My brother has a nice VX supercharged sedan that has been having pinging and rough idling issues for a long time now. Sometimes it would run ok but mostly would...

There was nothing left in mine. I pulled what was left of the mast out of the housing which included the sleeve that holds the mast in when the top nut is screwed down. The hole measured about 9.8mm and the new mast sleeve 11mm.

Anyway, maybe to save someone the hassle of finding out an AP250 doesn't fit, if you have either of these two antenna units, and there must be heaps out there, don't buy one unless you want to have a go at modifying it to fit. Aerpro do say that the AP250 will not fit Eurovox GMH 92047972 but...

Yep, seen them advertised but I purchased the Aerpro mast kit as it seemed the cheaper option since the rest of the antenna unit was working fine. The AP250 is advertised to fit VN to VX but not mine it seems. If I had know what I know now I wouldn't have wasted my time or money on Aerpro...

Hi. I have a genuine GMH 92149032 electric radio antenna out of a VX sedan. (sticker still on it) Broken mast so I ordered a Aeopro AP250 repair kit to fix it. Problem is, that mast will not fit as the plastic bush and metal sleeve are too big. I measured my sleeve at about 9.75mm but the AP250...

Happy to say I've come up with an answer. It got me thinking that the Ford V8 and turbo 6 utes ran the M86 diff so I eventually found a website called cardiagn.com. They have a PDF manual for the BA Falcon 2003 - 2005 all separated into the different downloadable sections. The diff section has...

Wondering if anyone may have any M86 one tonner diff setup information, carrier and crown wheel torque specs, bearing preloads, gear backlash etc? Cant find anything out there. Have info on the M80 sedan diff but doubt it would be the same. No manuals I know of cover the M86. Holden dealers...

Have a VY series 2 one tonner V8 manual. Only had her a few months and love it! I recently had a rear wheel off the deck and noticed that it turned easily by hand. Other wheel was on the ground. The metal tag on the filler plug says it takes LSD oil. I know I will need to pull the diff cover...

After a little research I think this is the same PCV system fitted to the later 6L and 6.2L engines so I suspect they went to this system on the last of the 5.7 V8s before they change to the bigger engines or maybe all VY LS1 cars got the later system? Maybe someone with a VY LS1 or 6L could...

Wondering if someone can confirm that the PVC piping is connected correctly on my car, which is a 6/2004 VY LS1. I have read posts on here that show a different plumbing setup to what I have so am unsure if what I have is correct or not. This is all I seem to have. No other pipes connecting...

Hi. Have just got a vy one tonner LS1 manual. It has a cat back exhaust but still running the stock headers. I see a few shorty style headers (pictured)come up for sale cheap and am wondering if they would be an improvement compared to stock headers? Yes, have read the threads on these and it...

Ok. thanks for that. Would you know if crewman and one tonner diff housings are the same length and mounting? Also how can you tell a M78 from a M86? I mean I know the M86 is larger but without having them side by side, is there a way to tell the difference?
