kobechu. you evidently have a low knowledge of cars but it's great to see you here learning my friend. Good to see it worked out in the end.

I'm getting red ones

Just wondering if the heater control lights are T3 or T5 as I want to order the LEDs before I take all the fascia off to convert the rest of the lights. Thanks

right ill have to do that then, though the engine does have a starting issue too which I thought could be related to it

probably every 1-3 weeks

I'm having a similar problem but it doesn't only do it when turning

Yeah thats what im after, mods that will make good use of the power too. I'll just start with 7 when I get the kit then and can just increase it like you said.

I meant the T56 conversion kits are 8k i think. $2k for a built box doesnt sound too bad.

yeah good points there. I've heard of built 4l60s, would that cost more than just getting a T56 conversion kit? I've heard that's about 8 grand. I have looked at the cams which is a good idea. Would I need the lower comp ratio for just 10psi and what would i need to do to the engine to run...

Fair enough. Thanks for that. If you were in my situation just going for a little more oomph on the street, would you just stick with 7 pounds to keep it cheap? Like would 7 still be pretty good?

wow man that's a good buy. You've gotta be mad using it for a work car hahaha but good on ya

You paying much for it? I wouldn't be using for a work car at all, nice car like that needs to be taken care of and kept clean in my opinion.

VE Astra?

putting it into the car club meets

and hopefully ill be chuckin it in the car club meets in town one day

yeah that's very true, but for me its about the experience and the fun haha. I got my car for around 4 grand

haha, might take a while but awesome

So I've decided on getting a Centrifugal Supercharger kit and I was wondering on what I'd need to change in the car for it to run 10psi. The Raptor Supercharger kit states that no tune is needed with 7psi but how much more power would that produce as opposed to 10? Would forged pistons/lower...

Update: Just went for a run in the car and found that it was shifting fine, did a full throttle 0-100 to check. Immediately checked the fault codes once I got home and found it was still giving codes 13 and 72.

would the problem occur in the manner I've described?

for an update, I've tested the box more and found the problem also happens when cruising and then putting the foot flat - so it shifts down to first - and it refuses to shift until I lift my foot off a bit

13 RH Oxygen sensor (no signal), 72 Vehicle speed sensor intermittent

So I've only gotten codes 13 and 72

Ah ok yeah I'll do that thanks

I've looked at the service history but don't remember seeing anything about the trans being serviced. Car was serviced every 9-12 months by the previous owner, I picked up the car 3 weeks ago.

@2O4TS @Vin999 I've tested it 3 times since posting this and it hasn't done it again. 204TS, by 'lack of acceleration' do you mean low throttle application? When it was doing it, it was like accelerating very slowly after 60 and not shifting while the revs slowly increased after 5k RPM and it...

I'll take it to the auto electricians and see what they can do.

they can reset the light?

ohh yeah thats right, we had the jump starter hooked up while we had the airbag hanging im pretty sure so we could check the power with the multimeter, then it unexpectedly fell off.

yeah we've got one auto electrician here and one ex-holden dealership so I'll ring up the auto leckies first and see what they can do.

nah I'm not :/

oh damn. So even though most holden dealers are basically gone, will ex-dealers still have tech 2?

With a flat foot in 1st and 2nd gear I've found that the box seems to slip. What I mean is that for example, when i have a flat foot in 1st, once it hits around 60km/h, it stays on 5k rpm but speeds up really slowly and doesn't shift at all, unless I lift my foot a bit. 2nd did the same at...

thats probably it :/ dad reckons you can reset the ECU if you leave the battery out for a while so ill do that, hopefully that fixes it.

had the battery unconnected while the airbag was disconnected and reconnected the airbag before putting the battery in.

So the other day I took the air bag off the steering wheel to see why the steering controls werent working. My old man was havin a look and the bag was hangin then fell when the connection came out. Found that the buttons work but arent getting power. Put the connection back in the bag and put...

excellent

I'm definitely leaning towards getting a PD Supercharger.

definitely checking him out, thanks mate.

hey, this is my thread! I'm supposed to be buying it ;)
