Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

My TW had a 75K service today and the dealer suggested the timing belt be done, which I put off for now. Does anyone know of a place in Adelaide they recommend for changing the timing belt for a reasonable price?

I had a Call from my friends at Haltech Engine Management Systems in Taren Point Sydney.. They have developed a Piggy Back Computer for the 3.5L magna and my car will be there test tube dummy as they need a car to test it all on..

Yep as the Tittle says. Post Your Power.. There is to be no bullshiiting.. dont make it up or take your own wild guess.. It has to be able to be backed up, as in show us your Dyno sheet if asked.. Can we please post it in Kw ATW to keep it easy for people to understand. For those who dont...

Have just been across at Maitland with Graham for nearly 3 weeks fitting/testing his heads and cams in his 3.5 AWD. All went very well. The ECU accepted the cams and got everything OK in a few minutes running. Idle is just a touch loopy but engine response is very good and there is a small...

Just doing a service at home on the Magna, can anyone tell me where the fuel filter is located and is there anything I should be aware of/make sure I do before changing on a TH Auto? Cheers Luke

This is how to adjust your handbrake from inside the vehicle. Done with a 99 TH Sports Tiptronic. You can do this a second way if you do not have enough room. You will need a light/torch, and pliers or a (10mm?) spanner. If you need to take off the center console you will also need a Phillips...

Okay ,with the dollar so good ,Brembos are on the lookout.... So , l can see that the Evo 10 Calipers have longer legs on them to obviously fit larger diameter disc's... Will these fit onto the Magna ? or even a 380 ? What is the size of the disc's on the Evo 10 and the 7/8/9 ?? Are the...

Hi my second Magna\commodore thread, but anyway magna TH\TJ auto 3.5 versus Commodore VS V6 auto exec who would win? Believe it or not they actually weigh about the same and have very similar power outputs, one with a lovely refined engine\transmission the other with a 'Briggs and Stratton' engine...

Hi all, I'm just wondering what the fail rate might be of the wave spring in the TL/KL Magna/ Verada's 5 speed auto's. My KL Verada's wave spring was broken at 98,000 k's, I'm looking at another KL but I'm worried about dreaded wave spring problem, is it common for them to go in the 5 speed auto...

Well... I have a very heavy heart. The family's low kay (37, 600) '01 Solara is now no longer with us. I traded her in for a few reasons, some health-related and the other out of pure frustration. Some of you would have read my recent thread about the fuel flap lever not working. It had...

Regarding my TJ Advance 2 wheel drive wagon... After replacing the battery yesterday, I saw this #5 flashing away on the little centre display and pressed the mode / speed alarm, up and down buttons and it changed from flashing#5 , to 3.5 and then dissapeared. Was I surposed to set it to my cars...

After getting some details Dave passed on Graham has got into measuring up both blocks and just sent me some info regarding the differences and the potential of the 3.5 and 3.8 engine. He hasn't sent pics yet to show the differences but I'll get them up when he does. 3.5/6G74 block and crank ...

*** UPDATE 19th January 2008 - THESE ARE NO LONGER FOR SALE *** Here are the pics taken from Ralliart Boy's ride. The front bumper in the Ralliart doesn't really provide any nice places for a front mounted CAI without dramas. We managed (with TZABOY's help - muchly appreciated) to...

I found this removeable blanking plate next to the radiator so getting a pipe to the existing airbox is easy! :D It works very well and isnt a tough job. The only permanent modification needed is to cut a portion out of the battery box which isnt used past TH anyway. 1: Remove front grill on the...
