Front: Any VT to VZ front calipers will bolt on. You'll nee the backing plates too and they are a straight fit as well. You can buy centering rings or swap your hubs for VT series I which have the same ABS connection, if you have ABS. You'll need new brake lines which should be available on...

l'm going to go against the main sentiments here that have to do with parenting. Kids learn from adults. Petulant irrational parents teach kids to be petulant and irrational. Set a good example, be calm, respectful and display integrity and that's what your kids will learn.

Thank you Immortality! Mace Engineering has just landed a new shipment of A2A intercooler plates and I have ordered mine! So excited. I have a 69 mm pulley to go onto my so far standard L67. I've read that MAFs run out of resolution with increased boost and I'm guessing with intercooling and a...

I have been to the PCM Hacking forum with little success. A fellow posted his efforts at sorting out the idle issue that occurs when mating a manual gearbox to an L67. He'd changed the spark timing at low rpms and said it made a huge difference. I thought about doing that but go cold feet since...

All very good points. The tune is the one for the L67 on PCM Hacking. I think “enhanced” so it can be edited in real time. Thank you for suggesting some tuners. I’ll get in touch with them.

Hi all, I've put an L67 and Getrag 5 speed into my VS Acclaim. I have an NVRAM in the Delco ECU and have loaded the stock automatic tune and turned fault codes off. It doesn't idle properly (revving up and down trying to find a sweet spot and eventually stalling) and from what I've read, that...

Hi fellas, I tried to get my L67-swapped manual Acclaim registered and the bugger blew smoke each time I got it to the mechanic's for a blue slip. Not idling in the backyard, just after a drive. So embarrassing... Did a compression test and it cranked up to 180 psi on each cylinder (a tad under...

Does anyone really think Holden is going to sell Corvettes? https://www.holden.com.au/cars/corvette

It's interesting that it's a straight line function. I would have thought it would be moderately exponential. Perhaps over 4 years it approximates a straight line, but over maybe 20 or 30 years it loses linearity. I have a VS L67 manual and I doubt there will ever be any data on its appreciation.

Hi Mic, I've got an L67 too but haven't gone down the route of a smaller pulley yet. I have done some reading though. The M90 really heats up the air charge as it pushes air into the lower intake manifold. The more air, the hotter it gets. As air gets hot, it pushes back against the m90 further...

Or Leyland P76 V8s, lol.

All other Commodores were built on the Opel designed GM 'V' platform.

GM has a long history of killing off brands - Oldsmobile, Saturn, Hummer and Pontiac. Saab died an undignified death at the hands of GM. At least GM had the decency to sell Opel and Vauxhall while they were still going concerns. I wonder how long they will keep Holden on life support for?

Hi fellas, at the weekend, I dropped the fuel tank to empty out the stale fuel. While I was there I relocated the charcoal canister to the rear. A VT - VZ square canister fits nicely above the rear subframe in the same position as VT - VZ. I bought some hoses from Supercheap and got the Dremel...

Just a quick update. I collected some data this morning and confirmed that the IAC stepper motor is opening up when I blip the throttle. It idles at 34 steps and rises to 80 steps when I tap the accelerator causing the revs to go right up, even after the TPS has returned to zero. The IAC then...
