Hi I need serious help. Just spent nearly 10 grand on my V2 Series 1 Monaro LS1 (cable throttle) with a full engine reseal, head work, cam and tune and ever since it has a problem that happens more often than it doesn't. As soon as the car starts moving, even in neutral (6 spd manual) the revs...

Hi All, I need someone with a VY Calais V8 to do me a huge solid and check their BCM to see how many plugs are connected to it. Also if they could try to identify where those plugs are connected to the loom, that is three together and a fourth off somewhere else? My project has developed the...

Good Evening. I'm looking at getting a towbar for my CV8 Monaro. Does anyone know if they use the VX sedan/wagon towbars or do they need to use the ute towbars instead? Cheers.

Hi all. I've been racking my brain trying to find the problem as to why my VB SLE ventilation fan and aircon aren't working. Individually everything tests all good; the fan speed slide switch has good connection in each position, the fan speed resistor is a complete circuit with varying...

Hi all. I'm after some sagely advice in regards to my VB SLE. It is fully specced with electrics, but the aircon, fan blower, central locking and headlight wiper/washers aren't working. During my wire tracing for the headlight wipers I've come across a disconnected plug next to the windscreen...

Greetings! So I've acquired a 1979 VB Commodore SL/E as a project. My goal is to repair/replace everything broken/missing and then sell it to someone who will love it for years. This isn't the first car I've worked on and won't be the last, but is the first one I've set a timeframe and budget in...

With other's experience I'm sure someone here will have a good idea. What would be the smallest cam I could install in a N/A LS1 to reliably achieve 300rwkw with a proper dyno tune? The goal is 300rwkw, but within 5kw would be acceptable. So, what size cam would be the minimum to achieve...

Quick question, is it worth installing an oil catch can on an LS1?

Hi all, recently I've had the clutch MASTER cylinder replaced because it had leaked and let air into the system, causing the clutch to be noisy when depressed (like it's not fully disengaging). I had hoped that it would fix the problem but it seems it only reduced it a bit, so I'm guessing the...

Okay, so whilst trying to cut a hole in the main wiring harness rubber gromet to install a power cable for an amplifier, I managed to damage 4-5 wires in the main wiring harness. The car now won't start (big surprise there) and I felt very, very ill. After 6 hours of pulling stuff apart...

My poor baby is at the smash repairer! :cry: This morning when traveling into the city there was a sudden stop of traffic. There was a white van in front of me blocking my view, and I was distracted by the purple Commodore to my left encroaching on my lane. I didn't see the van's single brake...

I've been drawn to the Ram Air 6 style body kits out there (not that I can find anyone selling them) and I came across this mashup... this is the real deal (GTO of course), all I've done is remove the background, tidy up the windscreen a little and remove the bumper indicator. I would like to...

I found the wheels I want online so decided to get photoshopping again. While I was at it I lowered it and tinted the taillights so they're not so... red. Enjoy. :rockon: Here's the original for comparison ( I also removed the car in the background tehehe)

I saw a car on the road the other night, it looked pretty cool and sporty in the darkness and when I realised what it was I was a bit... surprised. Anyway I decided to photoshop one to see how sporty and "decent" looking I could get it... here it is Yes, it's a Peugeot 407 wagon. What do...

Hi, posted a thread in the VT-VX forum about a problem I'm having with my 6Spd in my CV8 Monaro. I thought I might have more luck here. Basically what I'd like to know is are there any decent replacement 6spd boxes that are a straight fit for an LS1? I've read that the standard boxes are...

So in the last couple of days I've had issues with my 6spd gearbox in my LS1 Monaro. First it was making noises like a slipping clutch. It would happen when it was cold and just started, in Neutral and when in gear with the clutch out. It would pretty much go quiet when I depressed the clutch...

Hi, I can remember nearly 10 years ago a news article talking about a design fault with the VT Commodore. The central locking would automatically unlock when the car got really hot sitting in the Sun. Well, I had a VT and it did exactly that, days over 35 degrees I would come back to it and find...

Hi, I've been looking at doing some body mods to my Monaro and I've always like the VX Calais/HSV rear garnish and lights as I've always disliked the VX painted garnish. What do other people think? Would it look good to replace the Monaro lights and garnish with the Calais? The original...

Howdy, thought it was about time to post my new ride. Finally traded in the old 1998 VT Executive (everything was just falling apart and causing too many headaches) and got a 2002 CV8 Monaro, 6spd, Phantom Mica Black. Pretty much standard, only fitted a K&N filter and mocked up a hidden CAI...

My new ride! Had it almost two weeks now. 2002 Phantom Mica Black CV8 Manual. I've made no modifications to it since I picked it up, but have some in the works. This is the picture from the Dealer's website. This is the car sitting in my garage after a sponge bath with a micro-fibre...

Who wants to buy my VT Commodore? :whistling It's great, got all kinds of "features". Feature 1. When you turn the Airconditioner on, instead of getting cold air you get this incredible hissing sound! It compliments the ticking noise that comes from the heater/cooling fan. :D Feature 2...

Here's a list as to why the VT is the best model Commodore ever made. Can you list reasons as to why your model is the best? :yeah: 1. The VT window frames are the perfect size. I can rest my elbow on the sill and hold onto the top of the frame at the same time. +5 points to bogun-ism. 2...

Whenever I turn the AC button on in my VT (non-climate control) I hear a hissing noise like when you change between the vent options. The aircon compressor kicks in fine, but it also doesn't get cold. I can notice a slight difference but the airflow coming in the window gets colder. I don't...

I changed the disc rotors and pads on the weekend as well as the front wheel hubs on my VT. Now there's a terrible clunking coming from the front left whenever I brake. I had a look at the brakes but couldn't find anything so I booked it into Holden this morning for them to check it out...
