Haven't been here in a while, but I picked this up a few months ago. Not much to look at, but the body is good and has this hiding under the bonnet... Mild 308, m20, and bango out the back. Haven't broken anything yet... It's a fun car.

So I've had the WK just over a week and yesterday was the first time I've seen rain in it. I've had no issues in the dry (it actually handles pretty well for it's size) but fark me, put some water on the road and the grip is non-existant. Wheelspin on gentle take off from the lights, near...

So my drivers seat in the SS is rooted and so far I haven't been able to find just a single SS seat, only sets that obviously no-one wants to split up. With rego coming up next month I'm thinking I'll just chuck a standard seat in until I find an SS one. Will a standard seat bolt...

I want to get my xbox online and need wifi to do so. I have a newish (last xmas) 250gb xbox 360 which I think has built in wifi. At the moment I only have a computer using my internet connection via an ethernet cable and broadband modem. From what I've read, I can get a router, but leave...

Picked this up cheap yesterday. 5lt auto VT SS. It's mechanically good and drives excellent, but bit rough otherwise. Expect questions about fixing **** on it :blah blah:

Hi all, as some here know I have a HX Sandman van. Unfortunately it's missing the original engine. I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case it's kicking around somewhere, though being a 253, it's possibly kicking around on the bottom of the ocean. The engine...

Been having trouble with turning the key in the drivers door on my VP. I've had all the locking mechanism out of the door and it all seemed to work alright, so I pulled the lock cylinder out. Am I correct in thinking that when the key is in the lock, all the pins should be in the down position...

Ok, here's a thread on my WB panel van. At the moment I'm sticking a VN 5L and auto in it. I'm at work now so these are just a few pics I have on photobucket. Updates will be slow and at random, as spare time is a rare commodity between the mrs and kids, and working full time night shift...

Asking this for my brother. He has a VX Calais 5.7L and was quoted $600 for a mafless tune, with him supplying the intake. Is this good? Bad? I dunno much about it so I told him I'd ask. He's in Sydney, if anyone wants to recommend somewhere to get it done. Cheers

Anyone know off hand the hub to hub width of a VN diff? Thinking about using the one out of my VN in my panel van. Looking at the salisbury that's in it, it would have to be close. I can measure up the panno diff but not the VN at the moment. Cheers

Hi guys, I was looking at replacing the inlet manifold gaskets on my VS v6, but, seeing as it's got 150,###k's on an unopened engine and I'm pulling the manifold off anyway, I'm going to do all the top end gaskets. ie manifold, heads, etc, as well as clean the plenum up while it's apart. My...

Hey guys. Serviced the vs the other day and while checking the fluids I noticed the coolant looked slighly oily in the overflow bottle as well as some brown sludge around the neck where the radiator cap goes. The car has 147,xxx k's on it and drives fine, though maybe slightly down on power...

So this has happened a couple of times the last few days. Blinkers on my VS will be working fine, then you flick em to turn a corner and they don't work. No lights on the dash or anything. Then they somehow fix themselves and start working again later on. Any ideas? Cheers

From what I've read the whole front end of a VN will bolt straight into a VB-VK, but what about the diff? Is this a bolt in proposition? What about springs and shocks, will the VN ones fit an early model? I haven't played around with Commodores much so I don't know. Cheers.

My VS has started to run rough so I've checked the codes and got 14-Coolant temp sender low voltage. I reset the codes and now it only shows 12 but is still running like a POS. Should I go by the code I did get and replace the sender or could it be something else? Cheers.
