I'm doing a LS1 conversion into a VL and am almost done. I've just realised I've cut the MAF/IAT wiring out without realising I need it. It's overfuelling, fouling plugs and running progressively worse the longer it runs/hotter it gets. After realising it's absolutely necessary to have a IAT...

HI Guys, So i have decided it is time to change the appearance of my car (i own it out right now so yay for me :)) and the original SV6 body kit is not that appealing to me. I wanted to change the body kit style on my SV6 to that of a GTS E2/E3. Now i have already found a place in Melbourne...

Hi all, So I'm looking at converting my LS1 WH Statesman to a manual. I have the opportunity to use a VY SS ute as the donor car, the ute would get my auto in return. As far as I understand, I'll need the clutch and brake pedals, the clutch lines, cylinder and reservoir, the flywheel, clutch...
