Hey, Do I need to be worried about these marks? Not sure what I'm looking at. Just pulled a few things off to replace a leaking seal and noticed it. Cheers.

Hey all, Got my old HJ ute back in Hawkes Bay NZ, close to Port of Napier and I'd like to ship it over to Melbourne in a 20ft container. I have a few parts that will be going with it. No personal stuff. Can't do roll on roll off. I see I can get any removals type company to do it but they...

@Skylarking this ones for you mate. I signed up to the 3 day SPS info section just to get all the recalls, service bulletins and some other info for my car. As I made my way through them I noticed 1 for a **** batch of LED tail lights. I am affected by this. Check out the attached doc.... I'm...

Hi all, (@RevNev you might be able to help me with this one) Just got my replacement HUD from a wrecker after bricking my one doing an update (my own fault, don't ask). Looking at different part numbers, this what I have written down so far. Not a complete list of course... Part Model Year...

Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction with getting dealer level access to my VF2. Found some older threads but a little confused on the outcomes. Do I have to have a subscription to do stuff or is there older standalone versions that still work. Obviously need a...

Hi all, Similar to what could be done with an Adruino (CBF), does anyone know of an off the shelf box that can has a few external inputs / outputs, can poll the vehicles OBD data and then allow you to create logic... I.e If RPM > 550rpm & Oil_Pressure < 150kPa then Alarm If RPM > 550rpm &...

Hi all, For the fussy ones out there, how can I not have any water spots after washing? I generally don't like to touch the car with a shammy and wash that frequently that I can get away washing it perfect hands free. Have tried the leaf blower & compressed air (never again). Then I got...

Hey all, Honestly a little bit embarrassed to ask this but is it possible to calculate engine torque from a derived torque figure that was generated by a Mainline chassis dyno? Thought I could just throw the gearbox ratio and diff ratio at it but the numbers like way wrong. It's making me feel...

Trying to make sense of the million catch can threads around. On a LSA is the supercharger crankcase ventilation inlet port always under vacuum during any engine load situation? I.e. WOT, boost, idle, decel, cruise etc. Just trying to work out if I need the 3 port oil separator or if a 2 port...

Hey all, Currently have a Harrop pro extreme header back system on a VF LSA setup. 1-7/8" long tubes into 3" per side all the way back, 100 cell cats, straight through centre and rear mufflers. Wondering if there will be any performance loss if I went backwards a little and retro fitted the HSV...

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone would happen to know what sort of torque (power) is been put through a stock VF HSV ('13 Camaro ZL1 / '09-'14 CTS-V) 6L90 converter at WOT whilst still locked up? The tune files I've seen show HSV has the converter locked at WOT on the VF GTS. Based on that...

Hi all, Got high LTFT's in low rpms on modified LSA. What do you reckon, is it a trip to the tuner or not worry about it? I do have HP Tuners if anyone knows where I should be looking if it is something that can be fixed at home. I'm picking the VE table is off as MAF is only enabled after 1800rpm.

Hi all, Do any of you run with a phone mount that inserts into the CD player on the mylink? Looking at getting one but I notice where the cd is inserted is recessed a little. Please let me know what brand if you have one that you're happy with

Hi all, recently picked up a R8 LSA. Has the harrop pro extreme exhaust on it. I'd like to knock a bit of the sound that comes into the cabin when I'm cruising around. It has the bi modals fitted and are working fine. On the centre section of the exhaust there are 2 very slim silencers, what's...

Hi guy's, it's been AGES since I was last lurking around this site. Good to see it's as strong as ever. Now, apologies for the crudely off topic post, but I have no where else to go. (Like when you were young and ran back to your parents for cash.) I'm looking at doing up the brakes, something...

Hi all, [RA LX 3.5 V6 5 speed manual (LPG system not installed)] Just picked up a Rodeo recently for my work (Sparky subbie) and just today it appears that the throttle was sticking between gearchanges. No more the 2800rpm with the foot off. I pulled over and I confirmed that the throttle...

Well I don't own it anymore. I feel empty. Hopefully pick up another one back home in NZ.

Hey all, I was cleaning the SS the other day and noticed the rear window seal was slightly raised at a 1 spot. Peeled it back a little and there it was, the glorious metallic appreciation of Melbournes fantastic winters and chilly mornings. Question, is this why I have moisture in my boot...

Hello again, Just wondering if any one knows a place in greater Melbourne where you can take your car and clean the underside of the body. At a minimum they would need to have a hot steam and or foam pressure cleaner, and what i'm really after is if they have a hoist. Thanks all

Hey, does it fit and line up well? Cheers

Hey all, 5L annoyance as title says. It does it wether driving or just sitting in the driveway with me holding the thottle at 2000rpm. Mounts passed a recent roadworthy check so I have to assume they're ok. What yous reckon?

Done a light search. Just finished having a bit of a laugh at some of the trade me sellers over in New Zealand with regards to memcals. I have a question. There aren't different tunes for local and export cars are there? I.e australia and the land of shabangabang. Seems very odd to claim...

Hi guys having a torrid time tracking down the right colour parts for my interior. I was hoping someone can tell me my colour (as it was known at the factory) and what models had this interior. Car; 91 VP SS (non HSV) 5L auto, interior colour is like a navy blue. E Bay seems to have heaps of...

Hi, I had my rear door panel beated on my tidy vp ss follwing a slight rub with the fence at home. You can tell from a mile away that the door has been sprayed. The colour matching between front door and rear quarter is pretty good but you really notice it in the door trim. This was an insurance...
