Hey guys :) Not so much a build log as a few finished product pics to kick off with. This was my first shot at making a custom water loop, so I'm keen to hear people's ideas on what could have been done better, etc. I had free rein with this build. No preferences, just build a gamer however I...

I've been a bit lazy with the build logs lately, skipped one or two of my builds completely. I'd like to claim I was "too busy", but in reality I'm just a naturally very lazy person :) Decided this one deserved a log though for a couple of reasons - one being there's not a lot of info on this...

Hey guys, I'm new to VY/Z interiors and tonight, thanks to a bit of classic previous owner douchebaggery, I have snapped a piece of trim in the Grange. I guess I have two questions: 1. Is this replaceable without a whole new shelf, and can it be done with the shelf in place? (I...

I have been fixing up a few different things on a mate's VR Senator and I'm up to wiring niggles now. The lighter has never worked as long as he's owned the car. I pulled the console up and discovered some shenanigans. The wiring doesn't match up with the VS base model replacement lighter I...

Hey guys, I have a rolling shell I need to move from VIC to Townsville and I am getting some horrendous quotes. Hoping to get out of this for under $1000. I didn't think that was entirely unreasonable but it seems to be so far. After ideas and/or hook-ups for freight companies etc. For...

Hey guys, I know the catch can thing has been done to death, how do you plumb them in, vented/sealed, etc. What I'm after is a sensible sealed setup to suit a Holden V8 that doesn't look bloody stupid. The Elite Engineering can I have on my LS1 is an elegant piece of gear, well designed and...

Hey guys, Working on a VR Senator at the moment and I'm trying to get my head around how the wiring works with the headlight/foglight relays. There's a wire from the 87a pin of the foglight relay that bridges over to the headlight relay, it's brown and white. I'm setting AU fans up in it...

Hey guys, This is the latest build request I've had so I'll not give too much info on budget or anything, rather just outline a basic parts list and hopefully once it all kicks off I can find myself a decent camera and give you a bit of a build log. I don't know how crazy I'll get to go on it...

My dad posed a question to me the other day over the phone which I can't answer myself. He owns a 2002 WH LS1. My sister owns a 2002 VX S pack V6. Dad drove the VX the other day and noticed the brakes on the two cars are worlds apart. The VX's brakes feel very much more responsive and...

If there are any Mazda pros floating around on here, I could really use some help. Currently all my own work is grounded until I get this ####ing MX6 out of my shed. It won't start - no fuel, no spark. Old fuel pump was dead. Replaced that, the new pump works when I jump it from the diagnostic...

Opening this one to a floor of people who may have more experience than me with these HSV brakes. The Grange needs new rotors on all four corners. I'm not looking for a size upgrade, just a simple rotor swap. Needs to be something Bursons will stock, because my mrs works there and I would be...

Hey guys, got a friend's 06/1995 MX-6 (J-spec, KLZE as far as I can tell) in my shed in bits. Got it towed here after a workshop in town failed to fix it. It's cranking but not starting. Fuel pump is my prime suspect at the moment. I have an electronic copy of the workshop manual; I have...

Did anyone on here manage to snap up one of these things? Seems they sold like hotcakes! Hopefully they aren't a limited run thing. Would be interested to know owners' thoughts on the card!

OK it's time for me to seriously look into fixing this issue because I am getting a very sore knuckle on my index finger from it. When I get into my LS1 VN, it will almost never start first go. Turn key to "start" - nothing. Not even a click from the starter... nothing whatsoever. It's as if...

Thought I might pop this up, my main system I built a couple of years ago. Always up for feedback / ideas for improvement. Specs as follows CPU: Phenom II x4 955BE Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 Motherboard: Crosshair IV Formula RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1600 Graphics: 2x MSI HD6870 PSU...

.... and I'm wondering how to go about fitting it, and whether it's any good :) (i.e. is it a recogniseable design, can it mount a filter, will it fit correctly) If it's straightforward I'd love to get this onto the Grange, because there's no way it'll fit on the LS1 VN. Any info...

Live in the 'ville Have saggy roof lining Want to fix roof lining Don't want it to fall down again and make me hate the car even more than I already do. Which glue do I use, and any tips on material? Needs to look factory. Not really interested in backyarder jobs or "i did mine...

Hey guys, while my car is broken, I want to move my coil packs. I have been meaning to get them off the rocker covers for a while (ugly, especially since two of mine are stacked up) and it will make me feel like I've actually achieved something while it's down, instead of just fixing broken...

I've only tonight started playing around with HTML, have been reverse engineering this template for my own devices... There's a selectable image section in there which seems to be coded wrong to start with. It works fine when hovering the mouse over the thumbnails, the main image changes...

Found split seams down the sides of the cat. converters under the Grange the other day. Is this common when they get old? Is the outer casing even sealing the system or is it just a heatshield like some of the older ones? The car sounds like it has a significant exhaust leak and I'm just...

All bolted together with new clutch, exhaust back on etc etc... car is complete again.. but engine will not turn. At all. Not even by hand with a breaker bar on the balancer bolt. ????????? Thinking, could I have possibly put the friction plate in backwards?? Would the clutch...

Hey guys, I'm half way through changing the clutch in my LS1 powered VN. I've got a couple of photos of my old clutch (stock VX SS) and my new NPC clutch side by side. Not knowing a great deal about clutches, I thought I'd post the photos up and see what people's comments were...

Changing the clutch tonight after the old one started to fail pretty hard. Removed flywheel, oil came out of the flywheel bolt holes. Is this normal? Really want this sorted out before I put the new clutch in. The car's up on stands at a pretty solid angle so that may have some effect...

This is the newest addition to the family: a 2003 WK Grange, build number 10. This currently puts my little collection at one 5 litre and two 5.7s :) so unfortunately the 5 litre needs a new home. So far all I really know about the car is that it was owned by the director of AG Rigging in...

Hi guys, I have an annoying issue with my PS3. I use my PS3 as my home cinema. It's hooked wirelessly to my modem/router which is cabled to my main PC. The PC HDD has all my TV shows, movies, etc on its onboard HDDs, which we then watch on the TV. My problem is that often MP4 files do...

What the hell could they be for :p Dealing with a VN 5 litre BT1. I found what looks to be a capacitor wired into a small (~100mm long) adapter loom inserted inline with my air con condensor fan wiring. It bridges the power and earth wires. I will get a pic up later. Months ago I was...

Why, in VN Commodores at least, did they run the battery sense wire all the way back across the whole engine bay to the battery? Is there any advantage to this over running it straight to the alternator's 12V post? (which has a direct connection to the battery) vrollin and I recently redid /...
