I have an instagram account that I post of my cars! It's under TUFFVH but you'll see pictures of VB SLE and other cars also on there!

I came across this ad about 4-5 year ago after you had sold it. I later found the car a few towns away from me in the Riverland. I bought it off the guy for $3500, i fell in love with it as soon as i saw it. I just found this post again and thought I would see if you were still an active member...

Yeah okay so Should I start at say 9nm then 12nm then 15nm? Are the mace gaskets better? If it doesn't work this time then I'll be getting a set of those to try them

Quick question when using a torque wrench, when they say 10-14nm, do you go in the middle and go 12 or what? Why wouldn't they just have a specific torque spec? And also what happens if you over tighten them a little bit cause 10-14 doesn't seem like it's tight enough unless I'm doing it wrong

I know the first time I didn't but this time I have so we will see what happens today! Will keep yous updated!

I have put the other manifold on but havent fully put it all back together as of yet. Will keep you updated!

Oh really? I swear my VE was external. Still something to look at though

Yeah I would definitely just try it. I have been through so many fuel filters because the fuel can sometimes be dirty and clog up the filter. I always keep a filter at home just in case i need it late at night or if I get stuck.

There is no harm in trying the small cheap and easy parts because at the end of the day, if you replace the fuel filter and it isnt that, then atleast you know that the fuel filter is new and either way its helping the car. Is the motor shuddering as if its missing? If it was tailshaft or...

Hi all, Here are my project cars, details listed below. VBSLE: This was my first v8, which is a factory SLE, 253 Trimatic, which I drove daily for a good year or 2 until I decided to spend some coin on it. It is currently running a 304 T700 and VL Turbo diff. Recently done heads, 284 Crane...

91 would be more than fine to run on a standard sv6 but the occasional tank of 95 or 98 would do it some good. I always notice that I get more mileage out of 98 and 95 than I do with 91, i guess 91 burns quicker..

VE's have all the bells and whistles so if there is something major wrong, it should throw up a code. I have had a similar issue in other models, which turned out to be a blocked fuel filter. It may not be completely blocked but when it tries pushing more fuel through, it may not let it push...

Hi everyone! I am no mechanic but I like to take on a mechanical challenge every now and then. I have recently purchased a clean VS Statesman (Series 2 im pretty sure off the top of my head) with 500xxx kms. The engine that was in it had a broken roller on one of the lifters and cause cam...
