hi all, Just swapped out a pioneer headunit for an atoto and now for some odd reason I get a brake warning on the dash and it makes that annoying sound after around 10-15mins of driving. Nothing seems wrong with the brakes and I've only touched the wires for the head unit so what is going on??

Hi all, I drove to work on friday, car started fine got to work no problem. Left work after about 30mins and the battery was dead. Had it jump started with a battery pack, went to get groceries and car started fine. Went back to work the same night, started car, drove to work, no issues...

Hi all, So I've had a Ripshift in my Monaro for a few years now and getting it into reverse has always been a pain. I takes more effort than it should and is always notchy, there are times where I really have to force it or even try a 2nd time. Are they meant to be like this or is there an...

Hi all, Recently had to replace the radiator and when mounting the condenser back in I punctured it. Will I be right reusing the drier? Also what o-rings do I need to replace and how many, just the 2 for the drier? It's been a few weeks now since I've punctured it, is it bad that I've left it...

Hi all, Got a yellow Monaro and have never been pleased with the paint, mainly because it has 2-3 different shades. I ordered some touch up paint and it's darker than the body but matches the door handles and I've noticed the boot is slightly darker than the rest of the car as well. I had a...

Hi guys, I had installed coilovers on my Monaro a few years ago and it made sorta like popping noises over small bumps and turning at low speeds. Then when I had the car in for some insurance work where the car pretty much just sat for 2 weeks then noises were gone and now have seem to come...

Hi all, Decided to upgrade some lights on the car, threw LED bulbs in the number plate area and that sets off the warning in the dash that's annoying af. I might want to upgrade the bulbs for the tail lights too but no way if I get that warning everytime I start the car. Is there a simple fix...

Hi guys, Thinking about doing a fluid change for the transmission since changing gears has become a bit of a chore. Seen a few posts saying the T56 takes about 4.4L and some say to take the reverse sensor out and add about another 400ml. Where and what does this sensor look like? Should I also...

Hi guys, What are your rough guesses on getting a a hole cut out in a boonet, have a reverse cowl fitted and molded then bonnet painted? Local guy said $1600 but my old man rung a place in sydney that said it would be less than $1000.

Hi, Recently noticed that my clutch pedal has a lot of side to side play, had a look up underneath the dash and couldn't really find anything to adjust it. It has more play than the other pedals but is it normal? Anything I can do to make it less sloppy? Clutch itself feels and grabs fine, just...

Hi, Looking at replacing the front studs for longer ones, anyone know what the knurl diameter for them are? Looked at a few GTO forums and apparently the front and rears are different.

Hi all, Had to send a package over to the US for an RMA, got it insured, sent it and it has been sitting in Chicago for the past 2-3 weeks. I've emailed USPS, no response. Got the company doing the RMA to contact them and were told the package was not insured so they're not going to find it...

Hey guys, Having trouble installing a whiteline rear sway bar. I cannot get the passenger side d bush bolted in all the way, driver's side is totally fine. Passenger's side one gets about half way and I don't want to tighten it enough to strip the bolt otherwise I'm effed. Anyone got tips?

Hi, I want to have a go at mounting my tweeters in the A pillar of my monaro but don't want to hack up the trim pieces or buy new ones. Are the commodore and monaro A pillars the same? Because I'm sure I can get commodre pieces from a wreckers cheap.

Hi, I've currently got a 228/228 cam and have thought about going up to a 232/234 cam and just wondering if it's just a straight cam swap or will I need other new parts as well?

Hi guys, Finally decided to replace today because the car wouldn't start after just a couple of days of sitting but would start up fine if driven daily. Voltage is about 13.8 when running and drops down between 10 and 11 volts when off, this is both before and after a battery change.

Hey guys, Went about installing a catch can and used a upper engine cleaner and now the car drives extremely rough, although it drives fine sometimes. I've never experienced misfiring before but that's what I think it's doing, it splutters, pops and almost no power to get going whenever I go to...

Hi guys, As the title says, I'm looking for a constant power wire near the dash and it would be even better if there is a fuse for it. I need it to install a Blackvue magic pro because some pos hit my parked car and didn't leave details...

Check out the Spintech Super Pro Streets too. I had a set made in stainless for I think it was about $500 including shipping. Custom 3" system with an X pipe dumped before the diff and it sounds incredibly agressive. GTO guys love them in the US. Pretty much what mine sounds like.

Hi, Had the car running because the rev's were fluctuating when I had the aircon on. Had a look around the car and saw a bunch of fluid leaking from underneath my monaro, got worried and investigated it and it seems to be water as it was clear, didn't smell and was actually cool to the touch...

So the opportunity of superchargeing my Monaro has popped up as there's a used Harrop LS112 supercharger up for grabs at $5,500 which is the full kit minus the fuel system. I've always wanted to do some sort of forced induction but the price always made me look the other way. How much...

So I saw a little argument on youtube about orange peel where the youtuber was explaining about sanding down orange peel, then buffing and polishing. Some guy says he's not painting properly and that he shouldn't have to sand down the clear, just polish it a few days after painting. The guy's...

Got into a minor accident the other day and want to know who you guys think is at fault. So story is that I was going to pickup pizza, went to pull up, reversed and bumped into the car behind me. I indicated that I was going to park and put it into park before coming to a complete stop...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about swapping out our Telstra modem for an Asus one in hopes of getting better speeds. The current one is 5 years old now and our plan has just upgraded from 500gb p/m to unlimited and we want to make the best use of it so a faster speed will help. Highest download speed...

So I'm looking to get a new catback installed and wandering if my current one will fit any commodores like VT, VX, VY, VZ whether it be a wagon, sedan or ute. I suspect there might be minor differences.

I installed tein coilovers a few weeks ago to my monaro, they were fine at first but after I've put a few k's on them they're noisy. Rear's have been lowered all the way whilst the front's still have about an inch left to play with. I've got the reboundadjusted to about halfway but adjusting...

So my Monaro came with factory navigation fitted but I've put in a new headunit with navigation so I have no need for it anymore and now I need a trim piece to cover up the hole but I don't know what it's called exactly. I've looked up 'vy/vz center console' on ebay but nothing of the sorts...

I had a custom 2.5" to single 3" exhaust made for my Monaro and just wondering how it would sound if I made it a twin 2.5" system. It sounds kinda hollow but I think that might be because of the mufflers (hookers I think), it's just got 2 center mufflers and a straight pipe. I've thought about...

So I finally got my Dyn's and PXA-H800 installed in my Monaro. All was going well until I started tuning the system. The headunit (stock) would reset itself after having the volume raised about half way. I've disconnected the rear speakers and left the factory subs hooked up. What seems to be...

I just bought it over the weekend and it's a blast playing it again and it's so much better that I'm playing it at around 60fps maxed out (execpt for MSAA, not enough vram).

So my Monaro's sunroof wasn't working for a while and I finally had the chance to get Holden to look at it a couple of weeks ago. They told me there was a loose connection and it only goes up and back down (tilted) but when I picked it up it could fully open. They charged me about $450 for this...

Hi guys, I think my Monaro is in need of a coolant change, possibly a flush. The radiator fans kick on pretty much as soon as the car's started so I thought the coolant needed changing not to mention it''s like 12 years old now although it's only got 35,000km. Can someone tell me how to...

Hey, I was installing some 0 gauge power wire for my audio system the other day and had to make a hole in the grommet on the driver side firewall and had to remove a couple of the bcm looms to access it. Plugged it all back in and now everytime I start the car I get a few beeps and the dash...

Hi, I'm getting ready to instal my PXA-H800 into my VY Monaro and need to know what harness to tap into. I removed the headunit and saw that there's 3 plugs, got a little confused and put it back in. Took the passenger trim off the center console and saw this loom: [/URL][/IMG] Would that be...

Hey guys, As the title says, it wasn't closed properly so it gets a little bit of a whistle while driving around but no water leaks into the cabin. I've checked the fuse under the dash and it seems to be fine. I think it got a recall by Holden a few years ago to replace the sunroof, should I...

Hey guys, New to the V8 world and looking to get a cam installed. The cam I'm looking at getting installed is a Comp cam 228/230 112 LSA. What parts do I need to upgrade and any particular brands?

Hey guys, I took the door trim off my monaro to put some sound deadening on and now can't get the trim back on properly. The only issue I have is the lock mechanism. I don't know if I can take it off, it won't go through the trim properly. Can someone help?

I replaced my standard SV6 brakes with SS calipers, T3 and T2 rotors with QFM HPX pads and the squealing is driving me mad... The HPX pads don't come with shims on them so I got some DIY shims off GSL rallysport which should've reduced the squealing a lot but they barely did anything. I've also...

Has anybody seen the show Scam City? It shows tourist scams from cities all over the world and I can't believe how much money is being made from unsuspecting tourists. Some of the scams are actually really smart but some were really obvious. I applaud the guy hosting the show for exploiting...

Has anybody been watching Helix? I find it more entertaining and thrilling than The Walking Dead. The endings make you really want to what the next episode and they actually deliver unlike TWD.
