So I figured I would post these here for you guys. There is not much info on this kind of thing from what I've seen. Most people's tailshafts would be getting well and truly up there in the age and mileage. Chances are that your shaft also needs a good refresher! Watch the videos below to see...

I thought I might share this series of videos here for you guys. I'm sure this will help MANY of you guys on here. Basic run-down - VR V6 Commodore, custom turbo monster ute, going from 3.08 to 3.73 diff gears, M78 live axle (applies for most live axles and majority applies to IRS too)...

Hey guys, Recently ditched my already custom recliner style bucket drivers seat for a full fiberglass fixed back racing seat in my custom turbo VR V6 turbo ute. Check out the install video below for a thorough how-to! Be sure to check out my channel for tonnes more custom and how-to vids!

So, I've already rebuilt the power steering pump for the crazy custom turbo ute (click here to see the rebuild how-to) Now I've finished the setup off, with new lines, a filter and a cooler Check out the video here, hopefully helps some of you out and/or gives you some ideas ;)

Guys, Haven't seen any decent how-to/instruction videos on how to rebuild your power steering pump. This was done for my VR V6, though applies to most V6 pumps from VN-VZ (i think) NOTE: Be sure to take note of which way everything came out etc. ALSO make sure the vanes are installed with the...

Hey guys, Thought i'd share this video for anyone wanting to know how to install an aftermarket adjustable fuel pressure regulator (mainly for the guys running boost like myself) - though can be done purely for aesthetics ;) This was done on my 300rwkw+ custom turbo VR V6 Turbo Ute, though this...

Hey guys, I too recently got a rattling harmonic balancer on my Turbo VR Ute (no surprise with how crappy the OEM ones are and the pounding the motor gets when boost hits:driving:) So I made this detailed video of how quick and easy it is to replace it & what it sounded like before I did...

As the title says, I recently had a beautiful custom xtreme twin plate clutch built for my VR V6 Turbo Ute running a t5. I'm sure this will interest a few of you out there. Was built by Western Clutch in St. Mary's, Sydney. I've never seen this done before, quite a unique one-off work of art...

Hey guys, Haven't seen any real decent threads on how to remove the rear axles on a live axle (This is on a VR, but should be the same through all the models without IRS pretty much) https://youtu.be/GmCsebg-Msw In this quick vid you can see how the axles are removed, rear wheel bearings...

Hey guys, Ive just finished doing a lot of mad upgrades to my already crazy VR V6 turbo ute, but that aside, the main one that i wanted to share with you guys is my successful conversion from the crappy old cable clutch (which gets hot especially on a turbo setup and becomes even stiffer) This...

Hey guys, I have made this video to help any of those out there and those that have asked me multiple times, "how to run my PCV system now that my car is turbocharged?" Well I have made this video to show my setup and also the basics behind it and the stepping stones to making your own setup...

I am wondering if anyone can recommend an engineer in the Sydney area that can certify my vehicle (l36 v6 custom turbo setup) I want to go to someone who is recommended to be reasonable and co-operative. I got defected the other day, the cop didnt actually know what he was looking at etc...

Ive been trying to figure this out for a while now. For example, boosting 3rd gear up near 160km/h+, then hit the brakes, the steering wheel has a savage wobble that feels quite bad. Doesnt do it under say 120km/h, and pretty sure the car just doesnt feel stable like it used to at speed...

Just wondering because i want to put some coilovers in the front and am quite confused that some products suit both vr/vs and vt/vy/vx etc and some say that they suit vt/vy/vx only? They look the same. Can someone clarify?

http://www.youtube.com/embed/lSQ0a0MghzA Above is a link to this horrid noise my car is now making. I need to know if it is the timing chain rattling around and making a racket cause this is my daily and it is sitting at home idle while i try get this diagnosed. Basic history of noises: -6...

Just wondering if anyone has put VT front brakes (rotors and calipers) on the rear of their vr/vs? I currently have VT calipers and slotted rotors on front and standard vr rear with slotter rotors and they just dont cut the mustard for stopping power with this much power. Im thinking...

Basically, car had been running fine for ages, then today I went to the shops in the morning, it started fine in morning at home, fine at shops. Then on way home I went to drop something off 5 mins down the road and when I went to start my car it cranked then tried to fire into life and then...

Just wanted to post this to hopefully help someone out ever in the same boat as me. For months now ive had this annoying ticking noise only when driving on both accel and decel. I changed multiple header gaskets and checked for leaks a zillion times but couldnt find one... Also when the turbo...

As title says. Was doing one clunk sometimes when d oing a tight turn at really low speed. Now it does it a bit more. Usually when cornering at lower speed and might clunk a couple of times though not in time with anything. It also sometimes will clunk when letting off accel. Some are louder...

Just wondering if anyone knows? Cause mine seems to be slipping with the amount of power/ torque. Usually in 3rd n 4th and at about 8-10psi

Basic history Turbo VR V6 only 37,000km on clock Been pretty good for close to a year now then last week after I gave it a hit it started misfiring and driving like a pig (decel was fine) I limped it home and the next day I checked and put new plugs in, checked leads and they were ok, checked...

Have been having problems with car missing etc changed leads, plugs and then got 2nd hand ignition coils and then it worked fine for a day then it started running like a dog again. Just before this I noticed the red battery light on the dash was on when the ignition was off... Now I know this...

Hi there, I am going to be installing a ignition cut rev limiter and it needs to have signal from CAS 1deg and 120 or 180deg. Can someone please tell me which wires are which from the CAS or the DFI. I have pinouts just don't know which degree is which. Much appreciated

Can anyone tell me where to get some bolt on wheel spacers for VR? The PCD is 120mm or 4.75" with m12x1.5mm studs. Cannot find any Australia and only ones in USA have wrong thread. I'm after 25mm - 30mm space. Hopefully someone can help me

Finally bought some MACE 1.9 high ratio roller rockers the other day. They are very easy to install and make a HUGE difference, especially on turbo applications. Got them for about $600 and they state on a stock motor you will see gains from 13-16kw, id say on turbo apps you'll see more like...

As the title states. It does it rarely. Mainly after hard accel, then going straight to the brake and usually braking hard, the pedal goes hard for a sec, and pulls to one side. Happens on and off boost, also when going fast or slow. I'm guessing its a vacuum related problem? Possibly the...

My IAC is leaking a #### LOAD of boost on boost leak test, seems to be coming out thru the plug area, can't pin point as its too hard to see, but can feel it. Can I take it out completely and drive without it? Have also been having hunting whilst warm on idle and coasting, got new IAC (which...

When car idling the injectors are pretty loud under the hood (know its def them because can feel the pulse if you put ur hand on the plug) When i'm driving i'm having an annoying ticking noise, not really high pitch/defined like a manifold leak, but still ####ing annoying and way louder than any...

I have just about finished my turbo build and I need to get it to the dyno to tune which is about 30km away. How can I keep the external waste gate open? Can I take the spring out? Will that work? Need to know asap and please don't reply if you don't definitely know. Thanks

Question for the guys that actually have a good idea about turbo setups. I am about to purchase some bosch 968 440cc injectors, the guy im getting them from said to check if I should get bigger for my power gains. It will be running from 8-12psi depending on circumstances and hopefully...

Would it be ok to run turbo oil feed/drain as per my diagram?? Thanks in advance

Hi guys, Recently my lights have been randomly coming on even when the switch is off. Can almost be 100% sure this does not happen if I leave the switch on, turn motor off, then open door (which switches off automatically), only when the switch is turned off. It has drained my battery dead...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone could help diagnose an annoying ticking noise. The motor is only 18,000 km old (brand new reco AC Delco motor) Ticks in time to the rpm, and is ####ing annoying as ****. The harder you drive, the louder it becomes. I have a few ideas e.g. lifters (which...

Hey, Probably a stupid/obvious question; what are the two barbs on one of the tanks on the radiator for? Are they to run as a trans or p/s cooler as well?

Am after a sheet of aluminium 2400x1200x(prob 2mm) in Sydney. Have had a quote for a 2000x500 for $240, which is quite ludicrous, seeming i've seen 2400x1200 sheets brand new in Vic for $100. Anyone got any good contacts or good places etc, doesn't necessarily need to be brand new. Am making...

Title says all. Basically where is best place to get one for cheapest price (preferably $100 max) sucks that there are so many auto ones and few manuals.
