Yeah I'm guessing that's just the way it is. If it has a dual mass (which he said it did) it's more than likely the stock clutch. Guess it's just heavy. I'll be glad to get it fixed. "Car is running too good, something is bound to go wrong" ;) Sidenote: Have heard the single mass's are quite...

I'm the same mate. Would really like something that sounds this tough haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7TU8VqBI0w Had me wishing for one for ages but love the VE body

Utes only. No use for a sedan and prefer the look of the ute.

I should of clarified, only interested in SS in the VE's not pre VE, and interested in the maloo across the whole range. Yeah the insurance will get me down but I was paying close to 2k for my Supra anyway.

I took off the other day and it was making a horrible noise with the clutch in. "Wirring". Took it down again and he said it's just had it. I wasn't game to drive it home so I left it there and is getting a single conversion. I trust him he's been our family mechanic for over 10 years. Not 100%...

Hey guys. First off I'll say this is coming from my mechanic, not me. Last week before heading on a long trip (550kms one way) I decided to have my brake pads changed bc they were squeaking etc. They were flat out so when it was done I went and paid etc but didn't speak to the boss. The next...

I take it the LS3 sh*ts all over the SS engine? (mindblank what its called atm)

Is the "E85" badge something I should look for over normal? I've never used it. Just been a 98 man. And yes I wouldn't get a maloo without an LS1 or LS3. Remember reading somewhere that they are both better than the 2.

Hey guys, so I'm almost off my ps, been eyeing off a few different cars. Am leaning towards a VE SS as it's cheaper than a maloo and are still pretty tough. Will be cammed etc. But can't take my eye off the maloo (VY,VZ,VE haven't made my mind up yet) My current V6 is a mock vy maloo and I love...

I def don't get 490km out of a tank. Nowhere near that. Yeah 90% is town driving.

Hey guys just wondering if my fuel economy is abnormal. Really starting to notice as of lately as my wallet is getting slammed at the pump and having to drive out of town for work lately. I only got roughly 100km for just under half a tank. I maybe gave it a handful of squirts def no more. Car...

Still on my Ps :\ 6 more months then maloo time.

Currently does have a growler installed.

It currently does have a catback. It would have to be bigger than 2.25 as it's pretty noisy when opened up. I'd say it would have to be a 2.5 currently and I don't really want 3 inch as I can't imagine the drone.

Yes. I realise it's a noob question. I don't want to look like a retard taking it to the exhaust shop and asking haha. Basically I want to get a bit more noise from my vy v6. The exhaust itself isn't too bad once opened up but idling or normal driving is quiet. I've looked at the extractors and...

I am. Like I said from what I've searched Narva don't make an ADR approved H9 bulb. So I'm guessing I will have to go with Blue Vision from Philips for H9 and H3 so they match.

Hi guys. On my previous car (supra) I bought narva "intense" bulbs which were white with a tinge of blue and adr approved. Now on my vy ute, on top of the headlights it says H11 for low beam and H9 for high beam (I think I saw somewhere that fog lights are H3 but correct me if I'm wrong) and...

Hey guys I've been meaning to get around to changing my headlight bulbs. After searching on the net I found multiple people saying it was H7 or something for lows and something different for hi's, but after looking at my headlights (refer to pics) it says different, just wondering which is...

Cheers mate I'll leave it as it is.

Yeah I'm probably not going to do that haha.

exhaust - Imgur That's the best I can do atm mate. Pissing down rain and not really sure what to take photos of haha. Yeah the guy I bought it off said it was a HSV exhaust. If I run the risk of losing the burble, I will just leave it as I love the sound as a p plater would haha.

Hey guys. Currently have a pretty good exhaust system on my ute. Pretty perfect besides being almost silent at idle. When I open it up it's nice, but just at the lights or anything you can barely hear it. It's only a 6 so I'm not expecting it to shake like a cammed up 8, but some sound would be...

In that pic it had a load haha. It's normally higher. Took everything out today and the whole tyre is visible if that makes sense.

Luckily a king springs distributor is in my town so I'll take it to them to fit and supply. Yeah I didn't want to go lower than the 46 or it'll be impractical as anything with scraping. Front is at 110mm and the rear should be at 105mm with the new ones if my math is correct. When I called they...

Just gave King a call. They said I can go KHRL-46 and that will give me a 15mm drop or KHRL-46SL and that will give me a 30mm drop. I'm guessing the SL are getting into ultra low territory and guard rolling will become an issue? Would it also be worth asking if it's possible to get them in HD as...

So I don't even have "super low" atm I just have "low"? If I was to go "super low" in the sedan what difference in drop would I see? Sometimes I'm carting concrete etc for work in the back so would I be better in going super low in the ute springs for the stiffness?

So whoever owned it before me put the wrong ones in? Or doesn't it matter?

Fronts are KHFL-47.

Ah I understand now, I'll go have a look.

Not really concerned about the front as it's on the verge of scrubbing as it is. Just want to lower the back.

First off, yes I know this has been asked a million times. But instead of trawling through a million posts which don't relate, I'll get straight to the point. I know very little about springs. It's low but it's obviously higher at the back and I want to "flatten" it out. Not sure on the front...

Tried the dimmer and that seemed to do the trick however they didn't slowly start to come in, just went to full colour. Also tried turning the colour down even more (even though it was black/not working) and it turned them on full colour and then started to go darker. So not sure whether it's a...

Bulbs have not blown. Did some fiddling last night. If I turn the lights on BEFORE starting the car, the whole dash stays lit up. However if I start the car and THEN turn the lights on, the dash does not light up. Confusing :\

Checked the fuses today, they're all fine.

Hey guys the last few days when I've gone to drive at night I've noticed that my dash lights aren't on. The cluster works so I can see my speed and odo but the air con, headlight twist backlight and the mode/set lights aren't on. Like the backlight is on BEFORE I turn the headlights on. But when...

Thanks for the replies fellas. Occasionally it will go into 4th no worries, but more often than not it won't. I was hoping it wasn't anything to do with synchros so I guess a gearbox rebuild or replacement is on the cards down the track somewhere, not something I was expecting on a car with just...

Hi guys, I apologise if this is the wrong place to post in as I'm new to these forums. I recently sold my NA Supra and bought an 03 vy v6 ute (I'm still on my ps). I know my way around a supra pretty well but when it comes to a commodore my knowledge is next to nil haha. I'm really happy with it...
