Went and looked at a 2008 VE with the L98 Motor (6.0L) and on cold start it was chirping.
It has 110,xxx on the clock with logbook servicing, however it didn't sound like the usual squeaky belt, it sounded more along the lines of a bird chirp.
I have read that it could be the start to...
Was too busy on the weekend to get anything done so I'm kind of annoyed but I guess this coming weekend I've got a big one coming!
List for the coming weekend
- Reverse Lights not coming on to be fixed
- Heat shield to be properly fixed
- LED Blinkers front, side and rear to be...
If only I wasn't on my green p's. Ahhhhhh.... the NSW Laws.
If anyone could go through my mods list with suggestions of anything else to make the car look mint please feel free to share. As for things that are defects, need to be fixed, any information of fixes would be much appreciated...

Just dropped the beast off at the mechanics for an all over top to bottom check to see what needs to be fixed hoping to hear back by the end of today and not too much is wrong with the car.
Pictures when I pick her up!
Completed at Mechanics
- Power Steering hoses had to be...
I asked him if there was any more issues not listed he said the windscreen is chipped on the passenger side, and the seals right behind the cabin are hard and let in a tiny bit of water about the size of a shot glass is heavy down pour. So there is about $350 in that to fix, along with the...
Old mate said someone offered him 6,900 but hes looking for around 7,500 but he said If I can do better than 6,900 it's all mine because the other bloke left him high and dry so I'll have a sus and see what I can get it for.
Just gonna put an LS1 with a T56 or a TR6060 box depending how much more it is. Then I'll get an engineers cert I guess. Any price ranges for engineers certs?
That's just a maximum figure I set so I can have parts that will not break and last a good decent time.
I've read a bit about the supra r154 boxes, t5s, t56s not sure what the best application would be for a turbo'd 304. Does anyone here have experience with a modified 304? What box did you...
Does anyone know the going prices for a 304 v8 5.0 litre engine out of a vt? Also what is the best manual 5 speed box & diff to hook it up to? I am looking at turboing it down the track if that is needed to provide more accurate info.
Looking at putting that setup in an old HQ Kingswood Wagon...
If I go the 308 route, what car should the engine be out for and same for the 350 what engine is the best to use.
Note: Further down the track will want to go the turbo route so yeah.
Yeah i read on here earlier that the 304 out of a vn is a great conversion to do. Probably be a lot easier and cheaper aswell. Cheers.
Any ideas on pricings for engineers certs? Or whereabouts? Is it 10s, 100s, or 1000s?
I was reading on another forum that you can't put a 350 v8 in a car that wasn't previously a v8. For example I want to do a conversion from a 202 v6 to a 350 v8 but I read you can't get them registered. Is this true? If so I heard that it is fine to go the 308 route can anyone give me some...
Your probably better off buying a Turbo Kit with no turbos, and then finding the turbos as well, with a good brand. Something like this maybe;

Are you going to be using a shop for the harder things (Building Engine, Etc...) Or do you know how to do everything yourself.
Also steady performance with the build you've done so much already!
