Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here. I've got a bit of cash lying around atm and since a couple shocks are starting to get a bit weak, I've decided i might replace them since I've been wanting to lower my car a bit ever since I bought it. I had a look around but can't really find...

Hi, this is a safety feature. To disable it, I think you hold the Mode and Set buttons on your dash and turn your key to the On position (don't actually start the car). Then you will see on your dash's screen a configuration menu. Scroll through the options with the arrow buttons until you find...

Hey mate, sorry about the super slow reply. Haven't been on here in months. If you're still after the info, here it is: I don't have extractors or hi-flow cats, its completely stock except for the cat-back system. Its been ages since I put them on but if I remember correctly it was a twin 2...

That one NAAF linked is mine. I can't recommend it enough, everything else on the car is stock like he said, and it sounds great.

Yeah mate. At idle it's almost as quiet as stock, but definitely hear it when you rev. The video was taken with a phone so it's not terrific quality, but gives you a general idea. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Okay, sorry it took so long to do, but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNsCKBVsTOA And here's the in-cabin one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugWMHY-18uE

I've been meaning to make one for another member on here for the past two weeks but I've been super busy lately. I'll try and get it done tomorrow. Here's the thread in question: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vz-holden-commodore-2004-2006/217263-vz-v6-ute-exhaust.html

Sorry again, ****'s been crazy lately haha. I'll try and do it tomorrow mate

I can vouch for Not_An_Abba_Fan's exhaust system, it's bloody brilliant on mine.

I've been out of a town, hence the delay. Will make a video when I get home, hopefully in the next few days.

If it's sagged then it's probably due to a collapsed shock absorber. For the vibration, it could be a few different things, the center bearing, diff, drive shaft, axel or wheel bearing. I haven't replaced rear bearings before, only front, but this was how i was shown as a possible diagnosis...

Will post a video of mine on sunday, that way other people can have a listen as well and see if they'd be interested in these systems. I for one couldn't be happier with it, I had a loud exhaust on there, and after that, this is perfect, exactly what I wanted. While just driving around...

I got the twin 2 1/4" into a single 3" Manta exhaust from not_an_abba_fan for my VZ sedan a month or so ago, it great. Exactly what I wanted.

Thanks a lot. We took a look today at the size (which is 14mm for the Exec), but afterwards decided to leave them due to time constraints. Will know now for for certain in the future whenever I do them. Cheers mate.

Yeah it's a time consuming job. I'd say I only have a rudimentary knowledge, but my mates got a lot of experience and knows what he's doing.

Cheers mate, I'm pretty sure its 14mm and not flanged haha, hopefully someone else knows for certain. At worst I'll just have to go over there in the morning and check it out first, would just prefer to be able to get them on the way instead of having to go out again. The sooner its done the...

Hey guys, Replacing some bushings in my car atm, going with Nolathane, and am after the rear sway bar D bushes. It just has a stock sway bar, so what I need to know is, whats the size of them? (Car's at a mates while we do it, so I can't go look atm, and I'm impatient to find out lol)...

You could look at VY tail lights, such as these: Holden VY Commodore 02-04 Ser1 Sedan Red & Clear LHS Left Tail Light Lamp | eBay I have a VZ Executive but it's got an SV6 Bodykit and have VY lights on it myself. Personally I much prefer them to all the VZ ones.

Was it all through the rev ranges or only over a certain rpm? I had a sort of similar issue with my old VS. It was perfectly smooth up until about 2400rpm and after that it would miss, buck and kick like a horse. Tested each individual coil with working replacements til i found the culprit...

Probably just aesthetics. They thought the alloy colour looked better.

Yeah thanks for that. I'll see what my local exhaust guy can do, and if nothing sounds good I'll simply get a whole new catback system. Cheers everyone

Will do, thanks for the advice guys.

Can you buy just the muffler though? I can only find full catback systems.

No extractors as yet. I had planned on getting some one day, so atm I'm just after the rear muffler. Just biding my time and focusing more on keeping it in great condition than modifications (the exhaust is the only modification I've made..just a bit to loud though lol), I want it to last...

Hey guys, A while ago I put an exhaust on my car, a simple twin 2.5" catback system, and while I liked it enough, it gets a little annoying, simply because it only has the center muffler, no rear muffler or resonator at all. And instead of buying a whole new system, I figured it would be...

Glad you got it sorted man.

Take the fuel filter off and see if its clogged. I'm not sure if the VZ's use steel lines or not (my old BA XR6T did), but if it does check them as well and make sure they haven't been dented/squashed cutting off the fuel. Better to check these cheaper things first before replacing the fuel pump.

Hmmm, could somehow be a really clogged filter? As for listening for the fuel pump try just standing outside and turning it to On through the window. Or have a mate stick his head under the back to have a listen. Check the fuse for the fuel pump as well, just to eliminate that as a possible cause.

From my somewhat limited knowledge, I'd wager fuel pump as well. That's unless it actually doesn't have any fuel left in it? :p Can you hear the pump prime when you turn the ignition to On?

I have a similar problem to this. My mate reckons its just the rubber grommet in the firewall where it goes through to the engine bay..or something like that lol

Grab some brake anti-squeal from supercheap or autobarn. Remove the wheel, remove the caliper, follow the directions on the bottle to apply. Then put everything back on. Should last a while

New radiator should be here on thursday. Now I'm thinking about what coolant to use. The coolant that was in there was a purple colour, and I've read that mixing different colours can turn out badly? What brand of coolant is purple? Or should I just see about giving it a flush and throw in the...

I can easily replace the radiator myself, I'm just hopeless at diagnosing! Haha I had to work today so tomorrow I'm going to remove the radiator and find the crack, see if i can bog it up for a few days until a new radiator arrives (will buy one tomorrow afternoon if I do find the crack)...

Just topped it up with some water. Its definitely leaking from the right hand side of the car, closest to the battery. While it feels like its somewhat dry on the bottom of the lower hose, it MIGHT be just coming from that. However it feels more like its coming from under the side tank, below...

The plastic "tank" on the end of the radiator? So I'll probably be up for a whole new radiator >.< ..now I regret buying that new LED tv a couple of days ago haha

Hey guys, Just been for a drive, as i was nearing home just around the corner i got the temp warning beeping at me. Gauge got to the first line in the red. Got home, and noticed there was purple liquid all over the garage floor (I don't know how the hell i didn't see it when i left >.<)...

$1,600 is a hell of a lot of money to some people.

If your tag is for some reason missing (like mine) or you can't read it, jack the rear of the car up and disengage the handbrake. Then spin one of your rear wheels, if the other wheel spins the opposite direction, it's a non-LSD. If it spins the same direction, it's an LSD.
