hey guys can some one help with the type of diff that was standard in the v8 hg ute?? and wich type would bolt straight in?? with out to much trouble thanks

Hi there,

Just a quick question, my Torana has over the past few months developed a problem.

It now takes ages to start, I have to have the choke on full, and pump it twice, and hold the accelerator to the floor. The first time, It doesn't fire much, if at all.

Second time, a little more.

It usually runs after the third/fourth time.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers!

G'day all,
Any of you Commodore guys know if a VX IRS diff will bolt up to a VR Calais?

Cheers, Jeff.

Hi all was out in the shed this afternoon getting an enigine ready to through in the HQ.
Took the auto flywheel off the 186 ready for the manual flywheel of a 202 to go straight on went to bolt it up and nothing lined up.
I was under the usumption that the flywheels would be interchangable on the red motors.
Learn't a good lesson today never assume anything
Cheers Stephen

Hi Folks,
I have a 202 engine in a HX ute. It runs well but sometimes "runs on" (keeps firing) for a few seconds after disengaging the ignition.
Any thought about what causes this?
Cheers, George

Hey guys, Just got my blue 202 an auto conversion finished, originally 202 4 speed. Anyway I kicked it in the guts and gave it a quick rev and it was like running through a sprinkler. The transmission line musnt of been tight enough and sprayed fluid all over the fan, spraying it all over the engine bay. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cleanup time. but oh well I got it going.

something thats has been really pissing me off is what people are paying for 'Brock' stuff, even if sum one adds the name brock to their sale adds another $1000, there is a bloke in dandenong sells 16x7 vk aeros regualy for $790....YES! $790 even he cannot believe that people on ebay want $3000, vk hdt headlight covers on ebay $80, rare spares $50, and people are paying for these, i dont no about u but it has really been getting to me. does anyone else agree

Hey guys im in the process of changing all the chrome left on my van to shiny new stuff and i need to source a pair of bumperettes. Does anyone know where i can get some and avoid paying 250 each from rare spares.

They must be shiny and new because its for a competition car.

Cheers

Gday,

I'm currently restoring/modifying my HR Holden.
I've decided to go with the twin stromberg X2 setup, the carbs have been rebuilt and are ready to go back on the car but I do not have any water 'spouts' to heat the manifold. (calling them spouts dont know what else to call them)
Does anyone know if reproduction ones are made and where I could get a pair

Attached is a picture to help clarification

Cheers Tom.

Hi
i have a Wb ute with a Turbo transmission. where is the best spot to mount the oil cooler? It was originally mounted up the front near the radiator with two big ugly hoses going back to the tranny. Can it be mounted underneath the cab or somewhere else like that? Any suggestions would be most appriciated

thanks

Hey I'v got a 67 hr, and I'm about to give it a paint job, I want an original colour so that the value remains high, does anyone know where i can find out some of the original colours

With the DVR Video Player and Recorder Hard Disk Enclosure, is this so you can record TV or am i mistaken?
Also do they accept 3.5inch HD or 2.5inch caus it says both :S

And with the PMP player, does it come with or is able to be adapted to run off 12volts (cigarette lighter)

Also I have a heap of key ring alcohol breath testers if your interested in listing them in their.

Cheers Tom

Apart from several scratches & small dent, the badge surface is partly scuffed off, blinker lense cracked and the bumper end has a stack of Falcon rubbing strip rubbed onto it.

As his car hit me from the right, my left front wheel gave the gutter a fair whack.
I assume a proper wheel alignment is part of the deal with an insurance repair on this kind of collision...

hi iam trying to chase up a front right windscreen for a 1968 bedford bus can anyone help

I'm thinking of fitting a lightened flywheel to my 186.

Just wondering if any body has done this? and what to expect.

My 186 has very good torque at the moment, pulls from around 1100 rpms and its power band start at about 3000 rpm's, it dosn't rev much over 5500 rpm's.

I have a stupid question but I am going to ask it anyway after looking at the paint code 221415991 Tuxedo Black is this color Black or a Dark metallic green I have seen two vehicles black on one and one green with the same code?

Very important that i know what colour this is as the panel beater wants to mix the paint tomorrow.

Yes i know ive left it very late but Meh lol

Hi,
I have a HQ Coupe and am trying to repair the window rollers in it. I have purchased all the kits from rare spares however they do not tell me how to replace the 'stud rollers'. The original ones look as though they have burred over edges. Punched maybe? The ones that rare spares supplied are too big too fit in the original hole and i'm not sure how to fix them in place??? Any help would be great!!

I have a HZ ute chassis to give away , located in Mount Gambier , SA , if noone wants it will probably go to the scrap yard. Not rolling , still has a rusty and completely stripped ute body on it.
