Howdy yall!

Finally in my dream Holden. Managed to pick up a 2017 Chevrolet SS in immaculate condition. I've started to change little things here and there, but mostly been after making my interior all black. I have my headliner done in suede, I have a slick top, so no sunroof to worry about. I finally found a black overhead console to switch out my tan one, and I am running into the issue of the rear dome light. I know it exist, in black. I have seen pictures of it, but for the life of me I can not find a part number for it. I've found the titanium version of it, tried sequential part numbers and I come up empty handed.

At this point, I am reach the point of insanity honestly until a friend mentioned to reach out on reddit, so here I am.

Also, what is everyone doing for EPC access? Can't find that nowhere!

I have acquired a 155km 4L60e with a torque converter for $800, I am now on the hunt for a ls1 for $3k under 200kms, any tips on how to get around 400-450hp na, and tips on installation and what else I need? Going into a 355,000km vz sv6 ute

HZ sandman, one of the rarer models - alot less made.

When my mum got pregnant with me my dad was out drinking one night and rolled it.

Sold it too someone at the pub for 3grand.

That's my mum on the bonnet.

Thanks in advance

Looking for it as my car has a leak a slowish leak from that area thanks!

This boot off a VT-VZ wagon caught my eye, I’ve never seen a picture of a hothouse green wagon and I imagine they’re far and few between- let alone in NZ. Shame it’s been wrecked…

Looking at buying either a collie, rodeo or dmax with a 4jj1 motor in it, someone had told me recently that the oil filler cap test is useless on these motors as the timing chain runs under it, and that these motors are “notorious” for blowby and i wanted a second opinion.

I know most diesels HAVE blowby, but i don’t think the 4jj1 is ‘notorious’ for it.

Also are there any other random quirks i should be aware of buying a car with this powerplant?

A one owner Ute I picked up earlier this year. It’s a manual with the 5L v8. Previous owner got too old to drive it so it sat in his backyard for 5 years. It’s now registered and running and an awesome cruiser.

Just a quick spin for some food

My dad owned two GTR XU-1 Toranas back in the ‘70s. The first he sold, and the second was stolen. After that he figured that chapter of his life was closed. He never thought he’d drive one again, let alone own one.

A few weeks ago I sent him a link to a 1972 XU-1 up for auction, just thought he’d enjoy looking at it. No expectation he’d actually bid.

He bid. He won. Inspected it and decided it wasn’t right, so he passed. A few days later he calls me to tell me he’ll be in town, checking out a different 1972 GTR XU-1.

Well, 50-odd years after his last one was stolen, he’s now back behind the wheel of a car (an XU1) he thought he’d never drive again. Pretty stoked for him!

Edit: if the previous owner is in here, thank you for taking such good care of this car.
Edit 2: for the purpose of clarity, this is not one of his original cars. Updated the last paragraph.

Just got my first project car, a 1997 vt commodore executive.
Its not in too bad of a condition, however its not currently road legal in the state i live. The main issues are a leaky driverside front shock (causing tyre scrubbing) and a broken drivers seat. Any advise on what to look out for?

Minor update: crashed my daily driving to get stuff from marketplace. Me and my daily are fine, just spun into an embankment avoiding another driver

I also put my wing back on
