Forum: AWD Magna / Verada

Hi all Have a 2004 Verada, only done 75,000 klms but had to do a rear hub this week and have decided to do timing belt water pump etc. I haven't been in the trade for 10 years and would like some info on the best place for good quality parts. Also any thing extra that should be done while doing...

I'm getting a set of mitsubishi 380 vrx 17 x 7 rims and I'm wondering if 235 50 r17 tyres will fit without any issues. I have searched and haven't come across a definitive answer. Any advice appreciated.

Just wondering what fellow AWD owners are paying for a set of 235/45/18 - 95+ load rated tyres, and what brands. Thanks

Here's my dilemma...Been through a few posts and haven't yet found a definitive answer.... So, will 245 40 (or 45) 18's fit under an AWD? :hmm: I have the blokes at my tyre place telling me that 235 40 18's would be the best, but they are 19mm smaller OD than standard. I like the idea of the fat...

Questions for the AWD members who've had 380 cams fitted. I'm considering this as an easy way to improve performance. Already did the HM headers and a better exhaust. Not looking for "hot" cams or a special ECU tune, just a simple 380 cam install. I'm just not sure whether the benefit will be...

Came up to the 90K service on the trusty tl- had factory service all its life- to maintain factory warrantee. Got quoted $1645 from dealer- to cover timing belt, auto trans flush, brake system flush and all the othe little bits. Thought this was a bit high so set about doing it all my self. So...

Hi all, New here so I hope to see some of you around a bit more. I'm hoping somebody on here may be able to steer me in the right direction with an issue I'm having at the moment. I was driving the car when I stopped at an intersection. Nothing out of the ordinary. The car was still in drive...

Hey guys, Currently driving a TJ and have an itch to upgrade. The falcon & commodore variants just seem so boring! I'm interested in KL or KW Verada, Verada AWD, GTVi or GTVi AWD. I'm looking for something with below 100 000kms on the clock. Which would you recommend? Will I be running into...

The fan for my air-con/heater/demister has stopped working on the lower 3 speeds; the fastest setting still works. There was no warning to it, the lower 3 just stopped working. Has anyone else had this happen? Should I just be replacing the switch or looking at another area?

Hey all, I'm wondering what mods (if any) others have done for some cheap performance increases. What I'd like to know is are there any mods to the airbox or intake that can be done or even something as simple as an after market filter (K&N) or even pod filters? Any help would be great. Cheers

Hi there Thought I would ask here before taking it to workshop to find problem. Driving back from Brisbane couple of days ago, heard the fan belt slip then the aircon stopped working. All the controls still work, digital display says it's working but not cold air. There are no obvious noises,...

Need help! I want to do the angel eye setup on my 2003 KJ Verada AWD but I don't know how to. Can you buy the whole headlight like that or do you have to DIY? I really like the look of it and want to do it to mine.

Hi all. I want to pick up a live (acc active) feed to run some extra cig plugs in the rear of son's 2002 Series II Rada. I know I can splice into existing cig lighter, but would prefer a bit heavier wire feed if possible. Or, if someone has another pick up suggestion? I can run it straight to...

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has got a set of Ralliart/380(same?) cams in their AWD's? If so, was there much improvment? I've got a SKR tune booked in a few weeks and quickly trying to decide if its worth trying to get cams done before hand or if at all? I have read that some...

I'm trying to get a power steering rack from one the above models to install into my KJ2 AWD. I've got a FWD power steering rack from a TL but the mounting holes don't match.

Does anyone know any wreckers or anyone that has an AWD Magna? I'm after the alloy cross member. The normal Magna has a different cross member. Has anyone any advice on whether it can be welded together? Thanks
