Hey guys, today I painted my bonnet, front bar and spoiler, and they didn't come out quite as good as some other things I have done. I think it was the way the gun was set up, because the only thing I did differently to the other times was I didn't sand the primer, and I wouldn't think that...

Hey, I recently bought a R33 Skyline in which the air con doesn't work. The bloke told me it just needed a re-gas because they never put the gas back in when they rebuilt the motor. We hooked up some gauges and turns out it has heaps of gas, but this is where I get lost. With the AC on, the...

Alright, before anyone says anything I know theres a few threads about it already, but they're all a few years old and just thought I'd start a new one. Sooo, I'm guessing there's a few year 12's on here that are just finishing school like I am, Schoolies is coming up for me next weekend in...

We found one on GumTree with a blown head gasket and no rego for $350 which was the cheapest we could find anywhere. We just planned to...

So, I have a VS acclaim, which I have installed power windows and lvl 3 cluster to. I have now got a chance to pick up a VS S2 Statesman pretty cheap that I would like to get a few parts off of. Considering I would have the whole car, I would thought it would be the perfect time to do a body...

Just a quick question, like the title suggests, will the rear window venetians from a VP fit my VS? Cheers

Hey, I havent seen a forum around here on these, but just wondering what peoples opinions on them are. Some people love them, and others absolutely hate them. I have had some Beats By Dre Tour in ear headphones for about 6 months, and they broke about a week ago, they were good until then, a...

So one of my mates pointed out to me that my rear speakers have stopped working, I know they used to, and it seems strange that both would stop at the same time, so i dare say the problem would be related. I have in my VS, an alpine head unit, running a 4 channel amp that runs the front speakers...

So, i got a leather steering wheel with controls. I tried to hook them up to my Alpine IDA-X305s using a PAC SWI jack, but it didn't work. I have seen threads, about people hooking them up to VX's and stuff no worries, but some say that you can't do it with VS's. I couldn't see the VS steering...

I have a statesman dash in my car which is black, and I'm thinking about covering my fuse cover, glovebox, door trims, most of the interior panels that are grey in Black Suade. Eventually i want to get black carpet and seats as well. I like the look of it in vt-vz calais and all that, and just...

Hey, at the moment, i have genie extractors and a lukey 2.5 inch cactback on my VS Ecotec. Someone locally is selling a 2.5 inch hi flow 100CPI cat, and I'm just wondering, if i got that, 1) would I need a custom y-piece, and 2) would it improve the sound at all? I am completely aware that it...

Hey, I was driving along the highway, and I felt it start missing and playing up. So I pulled in to the servo and now it's running like a dog. It doesn't idle and stalls after about 5 seconds. It threw the code 21 throttle position sensor bit sound ls to me like A crank angle. If anyone knows...

Hey everyone, bought a getrag for my v6 today, and it has a bit of play in the input shaft. my old man saw it and said he reckons the bearing is gone in the front of it because there is oil all through the bell housing. Ive also searched on the internet, and it seems its meant to have a bit of...

Ok, so I have found a Getrag conversion for my series I VS minus the pedal box for $550. From what I've seen this looks like a real good price, but I'm a bit worried. First of all the clutch. They are a Dual Mass Flywheel aren't they? that cost A LOT to replace? how would I know when I'm...

Hey, first off, i have searched this, and haven't found a lot. Anyway, I have found a cheap getrag conversion for my series 1 VS V6, which i am seriously considering buying. My question is, will the extractors I have on my car now fit with the getrag? Or do i need different ones? Also, any if...

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I fixed a lot of my boot rattles with a sub today, by taking the rubber valve flappy things off that are behind the rear bumper on the left hand side. I just taped the holes up to stop crap getting in the boot. There are still rattles from other things...

hey everyone, i was just fitting up my genuine SS kit onto my VS acclaim, and the front and back went on ok, but the sides juts won't meet up at that join in the middle? both sides won't meet, its a genuine kit, and i just don't know lol. has anyone else had this trouble? any ideas to overcome...

I have found an LSD for sale in the local area from a bloke who is wrecking a defected VS. I am thinking about buying it for $250. This seems to me like a fairly good price. I asked him what condition it was in and he said its excellent, with 180,000 ks and was serviced every 10,000. This seems...

Today i was changing over the struts in my VS. The person who owned the car before me had just put lowered pedders springs in it with standard shocks. Anyway, it started making a clunking when i turned, so i ordered new struts that were shortened to suit the shortened springs (Monroe GT Sport)...

Hey, I already have 2 pioneer TS-W308D4's and I'm wondering which amp I should use. From what I understand, because they are Dual Voice Coil, I can parallel the 2 coils, to make them 2 ohm, then parallel those 2 together, and get a 1 ohm load? I have found this amp eBay Australia: Buy new & used...

Well, I don't know how, but one of the studs that holds my extractor in has broken off, it is the one on the front left extractor down the bottom. I have taken the extractor and everything out and tried to drill it out with an easy out, but it just polished the surface of the broken stud, 'cos...

Ive been told by the wheel alignment bloke I need to get lowered struts to suit my lowered springs, but thats another story.. Anyway I have found someone wrecking a VS V8 ute with pedders struts, and my car has pedders springs, so if i got his struts, and used my springs, would it be alright in...

The key on my VS acclaim is pretty much buggered, its weird, it will lock the car, but not unlock, and ive known its been on its way out for a while 'cos ive always had to get real close to the car. Anyway, i've heard that its about $160 to get a new key head? so i was thinking maybe if i can...

I bought my car, and it had already been lowered, but I'm not sure which height and I THINK with pedders springs. Anyway, I recently changed the lower trailing arm bushes and the bar thing that links the shocker an the sway bar at the front. The front drivers wheel now makes a creaking noise...

I recently sprayed my ss skirts myself in Acrylic. It is a metallic colour so I had to put a clear coat over the top. Problem is it come up with a fairly major 'orange peel' kind of finish. So I rubbed it back with some 2000 grit and cut and polished it. It came up fairly well, but loses its...
