Chris, just recently I was refurbishing a trunk and needed gas struts. I believe the "N" stand for Newtons, and 630 Newtons equals 141.63 pounds or 64.24kg. And yes, it's the small things that matter. Cheers
Boot struts are mounted in a different spot due to the weight of the hsv spoiler. Ss also ran different valving as well even through they where the same length as standard.
That check strap you got suits VB-VL. I hate when parts suppliers just assume everything stayed the same. Buff the pillar moulds in place - the pillar holds them nicely, without the risk of breaking it. The clips at the bottom are sacrificed when you remove them, so you need new clips (and the middle bits from the originals end up living the rest of their life down inside the bottom of the pillar).
Have been semi interested in a Sony ZV-1 myself, so good to see a straight up comparison! Picture looks great, as we all know the action cams dont fare spectacularly in low light, and like you said, no zoom etc. In saying that, for action cams I switched to the DJI Osmo action 4, and dude it SMOKES the GoPro in just about every single way. Something to keep in mind when it comes time to retire the old work horse.
The different boot struts for HSV vs standard Commodore range will be because of the extra weight the spoiler adds. Also looks like you've got brighter lights either in the garage or on the camera. Looks great.
All the ones I’ve done have been just plastic. A slight grey black plastic. I use plastic polish and you’ll get away with a foam cone on a drill. Use a firm cone first and then a soft cone. Then wax it or ceramic coat it. I did a kind of how to on Just Commodores.
enjoying the vids. my dad had a VR senator. i used to sit on his lap when i was maybe 5-7 yo and do burnouts in carparks. have always wanted one. hopefully i can get one, one day haha.
Just so you know mate the part U installed on the door is called a check strap the Stryker is what the door strikes and locks on on opposite side when you shut it. 🤙 The video looks and sounds great with the new camera 📸
The audio clarity is nice. Sounded really compressed from the go pro. Those new front lights are a great score. I can't stand plastic headlights, pretty much everything in the states from the 80/90s on has them.
dont think i have ever seen a painted B pillar trim there with the srs sticker on it, just black plastic. if it was painted you would see where the door seals would wear through it and look awful. they come up great polished, like glass.
Great video, throughly enjoying the build. Not sure if you addressed already but what happened to your old job at the fab shop with your mates? Noticed no content from there in a while. Keep up the good content
Forgot to mention to you the tail lights look like aftermarket because the reflectors are faded I would be looking for good original ones. I have 2 vr’s and the original ones don’t fade
Hi, where did you buy the nos blinkers and headlights from please? Also can you please tell me where to find nos indicator stalk and outer door belt moulds please? I keep searching online but you seem to be able to find nos parts no problem, I’ve been subscribed since the early days, cheers mate
Sony 4K Vlog camera EOFY SALE bundle of the "old" model? However your in 1080p... They've been sitting forever since the "new" "better" versions came out. They've been cheap since last year, people be sleeping...
