When i fill through the shifter hole, take out the plug on the side that is meant for filling it and just pour in through the shifter hole and get a mate to tell you when it starts coming out of the side hole, then its full.

Yea, i meant powder coating, i was overly tired last night, probably should have posted that today. Any places that you guys would recommend?

Marshall Powder Coaters in Wingfield did my covers... cheap as too

Easy. Jack up car, undo plug on the bottom of the gearbox, drain, replace plug, and top up either through the plug on the side of the box (hand pump is very helpful in this instance) or through the shifter hole (with the shifter removed).

If filling through the plug on the side, stop filling when the fluid starts coming out (obvious).

If filling through the shifter hole, just add the prescribed amount of fluid (I can't tell you how much).

Thanks again guys

Seconded.

Or Art Metal Coatings in Holden Hill.

Avoid the place on Main North near Gepps cross like the plague.

That's kinda the look they were going for...

Interior is basically Cruze bits anyways (steering wheel, dash cluster etc etc)

The Holden owning fraternity will be up in arms.........the final model Commodore (going by predictions) and they FINALLY put the window controls in the armrest in the door

They also moved the boot release onto the drivers side. No idea why they had it in the glove box.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
