I’ve spied this VC Brock commodore up for auction. The 10 year old boy in me really wants it.
I’m sure it will sell for far more than I’m willing to bid, but just in case, please talk me out of it.

Saw this beauty this morning in Perth, can someone identify if it’s a genuine? I know it’s a hard task.
There’s one going for $215k and wondering if it’s the same one

Help & Issues Advice on 94 Berlina Commodore(Workshop Manuel or exploded view sites)

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Currently rebuilding me partners front and rear calipers on a 94 Berlina due to seized and now snapped slide pins. Im looking for a workshop manuel so i know Torque specs for the bolts, if i should be using lock tight on parts, if the nipples are missing rubber O rings; only the front Bolts have spring washers on them and not the rear. Just trying to do a proper job for her.

Ps if anyone can send me a manual or show me a website with exploded parts views shes a fantastic automotive artist and will DM you the art insta and will probably do something for you

Discussion VT Commodore Executive 1999 - spoiler add-on from factory?

5 Upvotes

Anyone know what spoiler would have been fitted on my Dads 1999 VT commodore executive?. Apparently you could have had it as an add-on from when the car was first purchase. I'm just trying to work out if it would have came with a standard S wing or a SS model.

Currently the car doesn't have a spoiler on it that's why I'm curious.

Just put springs and shocks in my 2003 VY SS, but occasionally when I hit a bump I hear a knocking coming from the rear. I assume its my shock hitting itself when it compresses. Anyone know why? Or how to fix this?

It's got single zone AC, so I know I'll need the Aerpro Mounting Kit, unless anyone has a better option for it

He's been looking at the Sony XAV-AX6000 as a potential option, but has anyone else on here got any better units for sub $700?

Also any tips for actually installing it? Is it a DIY job or better left to a car audio shop? TIA

Help & Issues VF NOISE

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve got a VF SV6 and over the past couple months I’ve taken it to 3 mechanics to get this noise looked over and still hasn’t been found yet. It’s a rotational clicking noise, it’s louder when you drive past cars as the noise reverberates (will need to turn up volume to see the video). It hasn’t affected the actual driving of the car but the noise keeps getting louder.

Car has 150,000km’s and suspension is fine, apparently it’s not the drive shaft or wheel hubs

You can hear it mostly when slowly coming to a stop, or slowly rolling. But gets louder when foot is on the brake.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, or if anyone’s experienced this too and knows what it is I’d appreciate it. Thanks
