Personally I reckon the best looking tail lights for VT-VZ wagons are the VY SS SII tail lights. Same as a VY SII/VZ tail light, except with a tinted surround, and black rings on the globe shields inside the lamp instead of chrome ones. It's what I've got on mine ;)

Hey guys and girls! Haven't been on here in a while, been quite busy ever since I started working full-time, plus other commitments. A bit has been done to my wagon lately, and I am absolutely loving it! So here's an update. Done a bit of maintenance on it, little things like bushes and...

Sorry for the late reply! I haven't been on the forums in almost 2 years. I'm assuming you've already had the globe changed...heh. In case you haven't, low beam is a H7. I'm not 100% sure on the fog light, but from memory they're a H11. Easiest way is to just take a globe out and have it...

Yeah, but after you undo the sump bolts, you have to get the actual sump out of there.

I think it's the same rule for any car mate, if you look after it, it'll look after you. I bought my VZ wagon at 150,000km in October 2010. It was previously a fleet car, done mostly country driving, and been log-book serviced it's whole life. Since I've had the car, I do the at least the oil...

Nah still nothing unfortunately. Yeah I'm the same. Watch people ride it, weigh it up, and just over think it I reckon. One of those obstacles which is probably a lot easier than it seems if you've got the momentum up, but it's mainly the bloody mental barriers!

Nah can't see that vid without being mates. I didn't do the big Boulder, or the first rock berm at the very start of the trail mainly because I just didn't feel game enough. Maybe after a few more sessions ;)

Was there for the first time in a few years on Thursday. Was with a mate who's still fairly new to riding, so did one run down Lactic Acid, and across to Boulder back down to Stockyards carpark. Great fun! Definitely gotta get out there more often.

My rigs. The "Tank" 2010 Giant Filter 1. And the fast bike. 2004 Giant NRS 1, pretty much built for me, by me. The only factory parts on it are the frame, shock, seatpost and handlebars.

Go into repco and ask for a KC38MC. Don't bother with that eBay link provided, because plastic will become brittle and snap again. The part number I've given you is brass, so you'll probably never have to replace it again. Plus it's only a few bucks more than the ebay one, around $19-$20.

Got the transmission serviced yesterday. New filter and some Dex6 fluid, runs and shifts beautifully now!

Changed idler and tensioner pulley.

VY SII have a ball/bush style sway bar link, VZs have ball/ball style. VZs also came with a digital speedo display as standard on lower models. As mentioned, completely different engines. Is there any specific difference you're interested in?

I haven't taken it for a good squirt yet. Just around the block at low revs yesterday to get the engine up to temp and make sure there were no coolant leaks from the inlet housing. Then I let it sit overnight so the silicon on the insulators could cure. Gonna take it for a good spin today and...

All of the above today; plugs, manifold insulators, and water inlet seals. After two emergency trips to Repco (First because one of the bolts for the inlet housing snapped, and second because one of the coils came apart) it's all back together now. Just waiting on the silicon to dry.
