Just wondering if anyone can tell me how many VT V6 Commodores were made with manual vs automatic transmission or the ratio between the two. Apologies if this has been posted as I have searched and found no info on this. I'm in the market for a VT V6 and I have $10 000 to spend so it would be...

Does anyone know the minimum legal tyre tread depth in NSW ? Cheers, searched but couldn't find it here..

I've had this prob on and off for a while but now it seems worse maybe due to the cool temperature. Basically it chugs at the bottom of a gear. Usually second or third at low revs, sort of jerks back and forth, hard to describe. Giving it some revs seems to rectify it. Today it was doing it in...

NSW Transport Minister Michael Costa yesterday said good drivers with unrestricted licences will earn up to six extra merit points from February 1st next year as a part of a plan to encourage better and safer driving. Under the new plan, drivers with 12 points will be rewarded with up to six...

Whats the difference between Michael Jackson and a grocery bag ? Ones white, made from plastic, and harmful to children, the other you carry your groceries in. A jump-lead walks into a bar... The Barman says "I'll serve you, but dont start anything." Two aerials meet on a roof...

Thought i should start something for the trusty VL six. I'm pretty bent on putting together a half decent SOHC NA RB30, is anyone else ? Any ideas, advice , concepts or experience etc on this topic would be great. What does everyone think of some of the bolt on offerings around ? eg Commsport...

Once I have a few things sorted, like my brake master cylinder, I'll be reconditioning my RB30 as funds now permit (yippee :D ). I have'nt got a quote for this yet, and I do trust my mechanic, but how much do you guys think I should be paying for this ? Any input appreciated !

(From another forum..) A guy walks into a bar with an octopus. He sits the octopus down on a stool and tells everyone in the bar that this is a very talented octopus. "He can play any musical instrument in the world". Everyone at the bar laughs at the man, calling him an idiot. So he says...

I once returned to my parked VK SL in Adelaide to find this on the window which brightened up my day somewhat.

While my Grandparents VP wagon was being serviced in Melbourne recently I checked out some of the Holden Dealers stock including a new HSV Coupe, this induced spontaneous salivation of course. At the risk of sounding uninformed what are the real differences between the three Holden coupes ie...

My mate wants to stick interceptor rims on his VN. What would be the widest he could go tyre wise ? 225's ? (apologies if this has been done ....)

Just trying to work out whether its worth replacing my standard SL drum brake diff with a VLT disc brake diff or just doing a rear disc conversion. I dont put down rubber too much these days and the six cyl will remain N/A for some time although it will be modified further. As far as I know its...

I was doing the rounds the other day and came across a weird sight (for here anyway) Thought i saw a black and white HZ GTS or imitation, driving past, yep 4 doors GTS paint job, drove opposite, OMG it has a short rear tray ute style with sealed rear window. Fairly ugly but possibly useful, it...

Anyone reconditioned an NA RB30 before? Mines around 250 000km so I'm looking at freshening it up, are there any quirks I should know about ? Or reccomended rebuild kits out there ? Any input appreciated !! My web searches haven't revealed much..(Its staying NA for now and I've never had any...

Does anyone know much about the lifespan of exhaust components ie catalytic converters and mufflers ? (aftermarket stuff eg Walker, Genie etc) Obviously even the good stuff cant last indefinately (?) Thanx !!

Occasionally over the last week my VL has been slipping out of 1st gear after a little acceleration, especially after the car comes to a complete stop. At one stage I had to take off in 2nd. The gearbox itself is stock and has done (as far as I know) 250 000kms. Its in anyway for a service/tune...

Does this sound right ?? VL six cyl non-turbo with cold air, performance cam, pod filter and 2 1/2 inch exhaust puts out 250hp, covers the quarter in 15.0 sec at 110 miles per hour and devours 0-60 miles per hour in just 6 seconds. :cool:

Has anyone else had a demented fuel gauge ? Mine either works fine, rises and falls or does'nt rise at all. :confused:

I try to refrain from spitting it on forums but I'm too p*ssed off today :mad: . Just picked up lunch with my girl in town and headed for home only to be tailgaited by some of NSW's finest detectives in their "unmarked :D " white commodore in a 50 k zone, into a 60 k zone and then back into a 50...

Just a query: What is an Energy Polarizer and what was it supposed to do ? I know it didn't earn brownie points for Peter Brock..

Has anyone else looked into modifying their VL beyond exhaust/CAI/filter much ? Mine is coming up to 250 000km (no probs) and will be reconditioned at some stage, obviously this would be a good time to stick more goodies in there. (Turbocharging is a future option and I will be keeping the...

Just a note , I dont know if anyone else gets this but recently opening a topic sometimes results in a long list of HTML code (?). Today-monday- every topic opened results in this. I've tried logging in again to no avail. Thought you should be aware of this.

A 7 year old and 4 year old are upstairs in their bedroom. "You know what ?", says the 7 year old, "I think its about time we started swearing". The 4 year old nods his head in approval. "When we go downstairs for breakfast I'm gonna swear first, then you swear after...

U may have heard this.. A guy was driving home late on a friday night when he saw the dreaded flashing red and blue lights in the rear view mirror. He pulled over soon afterwards. As the copper approached the drivers open window he noticed that the driver had a VB sticker stuck to his...

I use a steering wheel lock, mag wheel locknuts (and 7 foot padlocked gates at home). I do have a car alarm but its been stuffed for ages. Has anyone had much to do with alarms, immobilizers or steering column metal jackets ? A guy in town had his VL stolen twice and I dont want mine to be...

I have a stock (VK carby) black 202 with M21 four speed box sitting around which I plan to rebuild with larger or multiple carbs, manifold, cam, extractors, foam air filter etc This would be a longer term thing. Does anyone have any ideas for this motor ? (wont be turbo charging it) Would a 253...

There does'nt seem to be an aftermarket kit for the VL six (someone make one, there were over 130 000 vl's made - turbos and V8's incl., although most were sixes) Has anyone done this home brew style, either through the bonnet or through a group A spoiler ?
