Hey all, got a few questions here. 1) Where is a good place to get a new clutch kit? for an HD Exedy (NSK 6908HD) Ive been quoted $608.35 excluding freight from one place and $598 from another. Wondering if anyone knows if I can get it cheaper. 2) Can injectors be repaired and if so any ideas in Christchurch? I took apart my intake manifold yesterday to give it all a clean and found this little surprise. http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/5937/qqxz.jpg 3) How do you remove the padding from a Calais glove box? I'm going to reupholster it but need to get it off first. Is it glued?

Try an Xtreme clutch from BNT. im sure mine was only around 450 and they machine your fly wheel for free. those caps can be replaced. a quick google search should find you a shop that will do a service on them to check flow and/or replace the broken cap.

Stupid question that may have already been answered but.. Whats the go with engineering an n/a vl thats been converted to turbo with a gt35/40 and other moderate goodies? possible? or not even worth the hassle IF possible?

Anyone had the centre of an alloy wheel machined out in Auckland? If so where and how much? Cheers.

Arrowwheels out west, cant remember how much but was reasonable

Thanks for the feedback weetee! definetly need to convert to manual asap! auto is too boring man!!

Hey guys! got another stupid question ( I know... im full of em :P ) Im getting my car lowered with King Springs Ultra Low's in the rear and Super Low's in the front. I'll also be running 15x6 interceptors on the front and 15x7 on the rear. I was just wondering for all the people out there that have lowered there vl's on 15' ceptors, whats the best tire size/profile to get that wont rub with this set up?? Iv tried doing a search and have found multiple threads on king springs stances and lowering a vl and all that, but havent really found a thread about tires! My apologies if there is one and i have missed it! Sorry for all the silly questions guys Thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Rares is all I know of.. Cheers Marty ps try direct from Oz

Hi all , Anyone know of a tuner that would tune my factory vlt ecu ? i have tried a few places like Torque Performance, Tune Technic ect and no one wants to touch it ?? Auckland . Thanks

Rapid performance in Timaru can do custom chips to put into the ecu, once socketed. Still not the easiest method. They also do nistune chips which would be the better option since it gives real time feedback. Im sure someone up there would also do nistune. Also instead of modifing a factory vlt ecu you could totally get a na ecu and either custom chip it or nistune it to get the exact same results. Only downside is you won't have a knock sensor board. I talked to NZEFI awhile back about nistune and they usually disable the knock sensor with nistunes anyway since its such an old and unreliable system. The reason behind this is to buy a na ecu you will be looking at $50-$100 for a factory vlt it is a lot more expensive.

Wheres all the wagons at? summers knocking on the door.... going to try put some dollars into my girl soon to get her back on the road Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Right hear. My wagon has had a good winter. It poped its track, drag strip, holden meet and downut virginity. Bring on summer and a VL cruse !!

Does anyone know the deal with speedos between different models? I have put in a speedo which was from a 3L auto into my vl and at 100kms, from gps, it reads 10km more on the speedo. Could that speedo just be buggered? Only reason i swapped was because the odometer had stopped on my old one.

ten k out is not to bad,ours at 50 k is 6 ks faster on the GPS but seems to come right the faster you go.I have a 2012 Ford ranger(4x4)that is nearly 10 k out at the 100 k mark(like yours)So I would not worry to much,What size tyres you running? Cheers marty

yeah mine is easily 20kmh out ie 80km on speedo is 100kmh on road !!!! only thing i can think is the manual conversion may have caused something or my tyre profile which is 65 instead of 70 ( factory ? ) or the cable needs some lube or or or or .................. its a vl !!!!! haha good luck

Could that be from the coloured plastic gear that pops into the gear box? From memory there was 3different colours with 3diff ratios.... an idea?
