All going well later tonight we should see the launch of Starship #3 It looks like they are targetting about midnight NZ time

Happy new years to all our members and guests.

SCA is having a 26% off site wide boxing day sale (less the usual exclusions) here in NZ. Need to figure out a list of things I need.... Wiper blades for the Subaru and some RainX before the trip down south next Friday. Got an email for a Repco sale as well but little info on what will be on...

As per the title, if you could fit 2 extra gauges in your car, what gauges would you fit? Please give a reason why. My first choice is always going to be oil pressure but I'm not sure on a 2nd. My standard go-to has always been Autometer, Sport Comp gauges but other options may be...

Often requested, long anticipated...... @Fu Manchu

Anyone interested in space flight and SpaceX? Lets see when it blows up? Will it make it to stage separation?

As per the title, is this a genuine VT-VY manual pedal box assembly? TIA

Figured I'd make a new thread for this as it will bring some debate.

Lets all just take a minute to remind ourselves why we celebrate Labour Day, something that tends to be forgotten these days when people are connected to work 24/7 electronically. I realise that in Australia you celebrate this on different days to us Kiwi's but non the less thought it was...

Any Subaru guys on the forum? Just a quick brain teaser, On the manual transmission models (2005 Legacy B4, H6, 6 speed manual) does the front diff share the same fluid as the transmission?

Looks like Mythbusters now have their own Youtube channel.

This is a series that might interest some members. Episode 1 starts off testing and measuring a stock standard VS V6 manual 5 speed ute. Scotty weights, dyno's and runs the ute down the strip. I think this episode also conclusively proves the stock air box is....

So it's the final 2 days of the annual Rock 2000 countdown. Some epic music to come over the next 2 days Metallica - One for the win on the final day! For our Aussie mates you can listen on the Rova app online. https://www.therock.net.nz/home/music/the-rock-2000.html

Does cooler fuel make more power? I think the guys are correct, in a modern car with engine covers and metal fuel rails etc, fuel temperatures would most likely be higher than what they saw here in testing but does this also apply to fuel injection? And what about fuel economy when you...

There seems to be a lot of stories about EV batteries and their end of life use/life cycles. Lets put some facts to the stories. https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/other/here-s-what-happens-to-dead-ev-battery-packs/ar-AA1fsxgT?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=56d7f6973e7241dc89798dbe681ce582&ei=44 Yes I realise...

Watch this and then lets discuss. I think this has relevance for us as we are mostly talking about oils for used engines with.... (I let you watch the video)

Spotted a beautiful white VN executive this morning. Very tidy condition. Didn't get a photo unfortunately. Only mod I could see where the cop rims with correct centre caps.

Can anyone provide any feedback about ER24.

A good video from Carnage that my be useful for anyone wanting to do a brake booster delete on their Commodore. This will suit any VN-VS Commodore and will be fairly much the same for VB-VL. I will say though, you don't need a fancy bench flare tool, one from Supercheap and a small tube...

Looking at replacement rotors for the Calais. SCA have 20% off rotors special this week . NZ$200ea DBA4040S. 4000 series T3 rotors.

Please welcome @Smitty to the moderation team. Smitty has been a long time member as well as a mod/admin on a number of other forums and brings a lot of experience to the team. Welcome aboard.

Decided to go and visit the old man for lunch tomorrow, It's a 400km/5 hour trip one way but SH3 has a few slips on it from the previous storm which has those sections down to a single lane and 30km/h, my alternate route is going down via SH43, this adds about 15km to the total distance but...

So tonight is the first part of a 3 part special marking the end of Police Ten 7. The show is ending because it was deemed racist with a big kerfuffle about it last year. 7.30pm TVNZ 2 (NZ time obviously)

Sometimes there are those little workshop hacks that make life easier and worth remembering for a rainy day. Post up your favourite hacks. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cq8VvXAqB8t/?igshid=ZWIzMWE5ZmU3Zg== I might try this with an old diff pinion bearing.

A good Automotive video that should put the cat amongst the pigeons! Read the comments after, the truth is to be found there (pressure differential)

As requested for the coffee buffs (or is that snobs :)) out there We've had a few different machines. Worked out you don't need a fancy machine so this is what we have now and shared by this great TV show.

This has been asked a few times so I thought I'd create a dedicated thread to the subject as I was just asked again. In a Nut shell yes. Measure and mark with a paint pen where the nut is on the pinion. Remove the nut, pull off the 3 bolt flange (will need a puller to do this). Cut off the...

So late last week a large US bank collapsed and now a 2nd with the US government having to bail them out. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/12/investing/svb-customer-bailout/index.html Are we about to repeat 2008?

And the **** fuckery begins.... https://www.msn.com/en-nz/sports/other/why-supercars-tweaked-the-camaro-not-the-mustang-in-parity-search/ar-AA18jsJj?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=2c9fd0631b864cb4a512fcdaa38686fa&ei=20

Occasionally this question gets asked, This video from UTG covers the topic very well and why you shouldn't on any car that is daily driven on the street. Even after all this I still wouldn't recommend welding the spider gears, spend $90, get yourself a mini-spool and fit it instead. But here...

She's a rough one today in Auckland boys. It's not too bad where we are but other parts aren't fairing so well and Mr 23 girl friend is stuck on the motorway where it has flooded across all lanes in both directions just after the harbour bridge. Cleaned the leaves out of the driveway storm...

So you are starting a new project and you need to work out what fuel system parts you will need to be able to tune your project correctly. There are many great online calculators you can use to ensure your project has enough fuel system (pumps and injectors) to supply enough fuel to ensure you...

To test the thermofans I just picked up from the wreckers I used my multimeter to check the motor windings resistance. But if you don't have access to a multimeter a 12v battery from your favorite cordless tool (Milwaukee for me) and a couple of bits of wire and a few crimp on spade terminals...
